Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 18: Loeri Part Two

The little dragons beady eyes looked up at Alicia seemingly stunned. 'This Human girl wanted to give her a name?' The little white dragon stayed quiet and did not answer right away. She felt the warmth of Alicia's body and felt that it was not bad having someone around even if it was a human. 'She seems nice and her petting feels good too. She doesn't feel like a normal human almost as if she was a Well, that can't be It would not be so bad to hang around with this little human..."

"This name Loeri, I will accept it! But if you are going to name me then we will need to form a contract. This way I know you will not abandon me in the future..." Loeri had wondered if her own mother or father had taken the time to even search for her. She had been stuck in these woods, inside this barrier for almost one hundred years. She had been alone all this time waiting. Waiting for her kind to come and find her. But who would have thought the one to find her would be a little girl.

"Contract? What's the contract?" Alicia was confused. She had an idea of what it was but was not fully sure.

"A contract is when a demonic beast or mystical beast for a pact between a human or demi human. This pact binds the two together for the rest of their lives. If the human dies so does the demonic beasts or mystical beast. As long as the human stays alive the contracted beast is able to survive any attack, even fatal ones. If they receive a fatal blow they will be transported into their masters Magi Sack." Loeri explained.

"I see it was what I figured... At least the beast does not die from a fatal blow. Okay! What do I need to do to form a contract with you?" Alicia had no time to react when Loeri nipped her finger and then nipped her own claw. She pushed the blood that dripped out of Alicia's finger onto her forehead and then flicked a drop of her own blood onto Alicia's forehead.

A bright column of light shot up into the sky completely breaking the barrier that was one there. Berlin, who was still trying to break the barrier, almost had his jaw fall off when he saw what was happening inside. 'That! That's a dragon! Alicia is going to form a contract with a dragon!?'

Berlin watched in shock as a large golden magic circle formed on the ground. Swirls of magicules swirled around the two. Their bodies shimmered in golden light as a strand of Magicules seemed to form a strand that stretched out from both Alicia's and Loeri's forehead. The strand of Magicules connected causing a bright flash of light to occur blinding the immediate surroundings. Slowly the light dimmed and both Alicia and Loeri came back into view. Alicia had a bright smile on her face as she hugged Loeri.

It was only a few seconds before Alicia noticed an extra person not too far away from them. "Master Berlin?"

Stroking his white long beard Berlin let out a loud laugh as he said: "Haha! Fancy meeting you here!"

Alicia rolled her eyes. She might be young but she was not dumb. She had felt someone was watching over her from afar this entire time. But since Berlin did not say anything, she did not say a word. She did not want to call her master out on following her while she was on a training mission.

"Yes, it is!" Alicia said playing along.

Alicia walked up with Loeri in her arms and asked: "Master Berlin what brings you all the way out here?"

"I-I was out for a stroll! Yes, that's it." Berlin felt a bit embarrassed since he got caught following her. He really did not know what to say and then while he was trying to come up with an excuse, something dumb came out of his mouth.

Alicia let out a laugh and gave Berlin a hug: "Thank you."

"Mmmph! Hey, you squishing me!" Loeri complained since she was not being squished between the two!

Letting out a cheerful laugh as he patted Alicia's head he asked Loeri: "Hoho! So why did you choose to make a contract with this little one? I thought the dragons wanted nothing to do with humans or demihumans."

"She Err... What's your name?" Loeri had no idea what Alicia's name was since Alicia never mentioned it and Loeri never asked.

"Alicia."

"Alicia does not smell like you humans, she smells different. Plus she's warm!" Loeri answered frankly.

Berlin only nodded his head. He was not sure why a dragon would be willing to make a contract with a human. They were prideful creatures and stood at the top of the food chains. If there was a race that could be considered the strongest in the world it would be the dragon race. They were very prideful and would rather die than make a contract with someone. But here he had witnessed such a scene.

"Then Loeri, was it? Please help Alicia out on her journey." Berlin said in all seriousness. He felt better knowing that Alicia had made a contract with loeri. Because as time went on Loeri would be a great ally to Alicia.

"Humph! Alicia why are you even talking to this stupid old man. Doesn't he know it is a given that I would help you out?" Alicia and Berlin both looked at the little dragon in shock. Alicia couldn't believe that Loeri called Berlin stupid. After a moment of silence, Alicia burst out laughing!

"You! Humph! Not even worth arguing with a baby lizard. Alicia, I will now leave, be careful!" Berlin left these words and disappeared before the little dragon could even retort.

Seeing Berlin disappear in such a fluster, caused Alicia to laugh out loud again.

A little while later

"Run.!"
