Dr. Luna
Chapter 39

The Wyrm roared loudly flailing his tail around in defiance. It showed its fangs in intimidation and flickered his tongue as it hissed. The sounds it was making began to bring in a crowd, not a crowd of fairies and werewolves though. They were relatives of the dragon family that began to pour in to watch the challenge. The dragon family banded together with those that were kin. They would watch this match and accept the outcome as a unit. They could not readily accept an outsider. This was how dragons have existed and kept safe. The knowledge of their where abouts have always been very secretive. An outsider could expose their lairs and jeopardize their kind. This was something they could not allow. So, in true dragon fashion, a duel would settle the matter at hand. The loser would accept the outcome.

Drakes, Wyverns, Kirin, and Fae dragons all began to trickle in to watch the battle. Fae dragons being the smallest. They could fit in the palm of your hand and were as much kin to fairies as they were to dragons. Dragons were not fairies but were creatures welcomed by the fairy kingdom. As such, they could challenge situations, even a decision made by the royal family. After all, dragons had their own lords and royalty.

"Kade... some of these you can see, but some you can't. I think you should be feeling thankful for what you can't see." Tyler looked around as the creatures began circling the area. Some perching on nearby trees that were big enough to support their weight. "I always thought fairies would be like a rated X show. I'd get to see half naked women flying all over the place. This is not at all what I pictured and had I paid I would have wanted my money back." Kade looked around hesitantly and then back towards the other pack members who were on high alert. "I'll fall back and keep them calm."

Lilly watched as Tristan and the Wyrm squared off with one another. She had to stop the fight. "I can't let this continue. I am putting a stop to this-"

"No, Lilly. You can't stop this, it is important. What is even more important is that a guardian is about to fight on behalf of Tyler, your chosen prince. He isn't fighting on your behalf, but to protect him. This shows that he is fully accepted by the fairies. He is your mate, so obviously you are going to accept him. The outcome of this fight will determine Tyler's acceptance among the dragons." Cedric looked up at Tristan and then back towards Lilly. "You are about to replace out exactly why guardians are so terrifying." "Are there any dragon dragons?" Tyler asked as his eyes scanned over the different kinds that had assembled. The animals were flocking around in a growing number. These were creatures that did not exist to him before today. He wasn't afraid but was very intrigued to say the least.

"We won't see them here, but if you are asking if they exist, then yes. They exist like werewolves do." Cedric watched as Tyler nodded absent mindedly as their focus was pulled back to the center ring.

Lilly watched nervously as Tristan squared off against the towering Wyrm that was bellowing loudly at him. The other dragon kin raised their voices in a thundering sound answering the Wyrm's call. She noticed Tristan as he glanced back towards her. When Tristan saw her nervous eyes, he gave her a flashy grin. He was about to show her what he really was.

Lilly watched as Tristan began to transform in front of her. A dark brown fur enveloped him as he grew in size. Tristan was already very tall in stature, but the creature he was turning into was likely more then five times larger than her wolf, Kira. His arms turned into massive paws with long claws on the ends. His ginormous head roared loudly as his transformation completed. Tristan was a werebear and had he not been on her side, she would have been terrified.

The fairy creatures headed away to distantly watch the fight, not wanting to get caught up in the crossfire. The dragon kin were becoming increasingly excited and began roaring and stomping loudly, creating a commotion around them. The large size of Tristan's bear faced off with the angry Wyrm. The Wyrm's fangs dripped with saliva as it growled and hissed at Tristan. The gold eyes locked onto the brown ones in front of him, neither conceding.

Tyler reached for Lilly and pulled her backwards, forcing her to retreat further away from the incoming battle. Judging from the size of the two monsters, it would be best to get some distance. When he felt like they were far enough back, he stopped, but kept Lilly locked in at his side. He didn't know what to expect, but wanted to make sure she was safe.

The Wyrm creature suddenly struck out, like a snake lunging for its prey. Tristan raised his monstrous paw and swatted at the head letting out a powerful roar. The creature coiled itself back up and hissed at the bear. It bared its teeth as its eyes glowered towards the werebear. Quickly he struck at him again but when he did he stopped short and flailed his tail around hitting the broad side of Tristan with a terrifying force. The moment he lost his balance the head struck back at him and sunk his teeth in Tristan's shoulder. The bear roared loudly in pain as he managed to shake the Wyrm free.

Lilly watched the blood dripping down from the wound and splatter into pools on the ground. She let out a small whimper as she worried for Tristan and the outcome of this battle.

The bear glanced towards her. His warm chocolate eyes smiled at her reaction.

I would never lose to the likes of him. Don't be worried princess.

Lilly heard Tristan's voice inside of her head. She was shocked, how was he able to communicate with her telepathically? She thought she could only mind link with members of her pack. She was not able to analyze the reasons behind it since the dragon creature lunged again at Tristan.

The likes of him, the likes of the Wyrm was an opponent he would never lose to? The vicious monster in front of her did not look to be merciful and attacked with deadly aggression. She couldn't help but to be worried for Tristan, it would only take one mistake, one wrong move and he could very easily lose his life.

The monstrous animals watching, roared violently and loudly as they observed the fight. It was as if their roars were cheers for their champion. It was a lot for Lilly to take in. These creatures were friends of the fairies but had rejected Tyler. She felt a bit of bitterness towards them for that. Who were they to dictate who she chose to stand by her side? She knew that Cedric said the fight was necessary, that they would accept the outcome of this fight, but she hoped to prevent an incident like this in the future. Sure, she could have stopped the fight from happening, but then if there was ever a moment Tyler wasn't with her and a dragon type was around, he would have been attacked. Tristan fighting and winning would prevent an incident like that from ever happening. She had recovered the memory of her mother when she had mentioned that some dragons even walked among us. They gave up their constant form to be able to shift much like werewolves do. The great dragon sage is one of the ones who had become a shifter, he was in charge of the dragons, right below their king who was also a shifter. One day, she would travel to the dragon sage and work out a diplomatic agreement between them. That unless there was any real reason, their kind would accept the fairy royalties' decisions.

Tristan charged into the Wyrm and sunk his claws and teeth into its body. The creature roared loudly and recoiled its body away, managing to wiggle itself free.

"He's just playing around. Seriously end it already." Tyler looked bored watching the fight in front of him.

Lilly looked up at him in confusion. "What are you talking about?"

Tyler smirked and looked down at her worried face. "It's obvious that Tristan is just toying with him, he is enjoying the fight. This match was over before it started. He is just having too much fun."

"But he has been injured? If it was so easy, he wouldn't have been hurt!" Lilly defended him as she looked back out over the battle.

"They're just flesh wounds Lill. Trust me, he can end it whenever he wants to." Tyler squeezed her shoulder reassuringly and nodded back out towards the fight in front of them.

Blood was now dripping from both of their bodies. The Wyrm looked over his injuries and roared. It snapped around its tail and glowered towards Tristan. It was clearly infuriated and was desperate to take down his opponent.

The Wyrm swirled around creating a pile of dust in the air. It used that moment to throw its body towards Tristan's wrapping itself around him. Lilly managed to see it sink its teeth into one of Tristan's legs before the dust particles overtook them. The two animals were growling ferociously at each other. The sound of thrashing and teeth clashing were heard, and only brief sightings of their intertwined bodies were seen through the dust. Then suddenly it went quiet, even the dragon kin silenced their sounds. Everyone was watching intensely as they waited to see the outcome of the battle.
