The 1.000 year Great Sage ---> COMPLETED STORY

When Seya was ten years old and until he made 15, along with his travels with his mother, from time to time he gave an excuse like, going to visit Princess Heiji or checking his fields or going hunting and he escaped from his mother's sight to travel alone.

On some of those travels, he indeed went to meet the Princess and he took her with him. Others, he went all alone.

This time, he thought it was a good idea to visit Princess Heiji and invited her to visit with him the Dragonoid Library.

From time to time, the Elder Inia would get her, because the first time that Seya took her to the Library, Inia told the little Princess her true identity and took her as an apprentice.

They already knew each other, because, on the Royal Kingdom, Inia was famous as a sculptor and a painter. She was also the friend and confidant of the Queen, so both of them had already met over the years. Inia was the one to name her when Heiji was born.

So, as soon as Seya invited her, Heiji jumped and screamed of excitement.

Seya opened a Gateway and they went through it, to the Library. No one was there. Not even the Elder Eridan, that used the Library as his personal workshop. Seya started to sense the Magic Flow of Inia, and he sensed her on the huge cave that the Dragonoids normally use as a meeting point.

Because Seya knew that most of Dragonoids don't like humans, he thought it was better to use his Light Rabbit Kind ears. And he made ones for the Princess. She was very happy, looking at her reflex on a nearby mirror and trying to pull her ears. As an extra precaution, Seya guided the Princess along the corridors and caves, avoiding most Dragonoids that crossed paths with them.

It worked, at least, until they entered the huge cave. As soon as they passed the last corner, they saw Eridan and Inia talking with each other. Heiji runs towards Inia before Seya could tell her that they weren't alone. On the nearest wall, was the Elder Narn, Protector of the Elfians Race, watching them. As soon as Heiji reached Inia, she hugged her.

- Master Inia, hello!

- Princess Heiji, what a nice surprise! Who brought you here? Seya?

Seya got near them with a smile while keeping an eye over the Elder Narn.

- Hello Master Inia and Master Eridan. I had to search for something on the Library, so I brought the Princess with me, as a surprise. Did we come at a bad time? I hope we were not interrupting anything.

The Elder Narn grumped. Heiji heard it and it was then that she saw the other Dragonoid.

- Oh, an Elfian! Are you a Dragonoid also?

- Show a little more respect, human!

- I'm not a human. See my ears? Heheheheh!

- As if I couldn't distinguish that kind of amateur Magic! You and that boy there are humans already, disgusting puny humans!

Something snapped inside Heiji. She stopped smiling and she looked to the elder Narn with a very serious look.

- What did you called me, stupid lizard?

- You heard me, you waste of fresh good air. You and that other smelly, disgusting human over there. And calling a Dragonoid as a "stupid lizard", especially an Elder Protector such myself, is asking for a death sentence.

Heiji increased her Magic into such a point, that her hair turned bright red. All of her body was surrounded by flames that looked alive, moving and trembling. Inia saw that and she tried to calm her down.

- Little Heiji, please, take a deep breath. Narn, go do something useful!

The Elder Narn looked with despise to Seya and Heiji and while he was leaving, he muttered.

- Puny, disgusting humans. They should just kill themselves!

Heiji lost it. She jumped and kicked him hard on his back with such strength that Narn was sent flying for 3 meters and rolled on the floor. Before Inia or Eridan could do or say anything, Heiji shouted.

- Seya, one hundred Gateways attack, now!

- On it, my Princess!

Seya created one hundred of his Gateways surrounding Narn. He got up but he couldn't escape. If he tried to put one hand inside of one Gateway, his hand would reappear through another one next to him. Heiji increased, even more, her Magic. Inia shook her head slowly, in disbelief. Eridan had his mouth open.

- Seya, my sword, and my Gateway!

Seya opened his Compressed Dimension and he took from there a sword that he quickly threw it towards the Princess. As soon as she grabbed it, she runs through a Gateway that Seya opened in front of her. She reappeared on the back of the elder Narn and she slapped his head hard with the flat surface of her sword. She entered on the same Gateway and reappeared at his front, slapping him again. She escaped through another one before Narn could grab her.

She reappeared on another one and she threw an enormous Fire Ball and she quickly entered another one. Another Gateway, and a Fire Spear to Narn's head. Narn was furious.

- Enough!

Narn started to grow, changing to his Dragonoid form. When he was almost touching the Gateways, Seya made them going a little further. If he didn't, Narn would be killed, shredded to pieces inside the one hundred Gateways. But it was the worst thing that Narn could have done. That only gave Heiji a bigger target. As soon as Narn was a full transformed Dragonoid, Heiji reappeared right in front of him and she threw two enormous Fire Balls at close range, right into his eyes, blinding him.

- Argh! My eyes!

She then went to his Dragonoid tail and she started to slash with her sword on the same spot. But because the Dragonoid skin is very hard, normally, a sword slash wouldn't do any damage. But the little Princess was doing something that no other Dragonoid had faced, up until that day. She placed her Fire Magic on her sword and with the sword turned into a burning torch, she was slashing on the same spot, over and over. Again and again, sometimes, going inside one Gateway to appear on another one, when Narn moved his tail, trying to escape her. After some time, one slash went through the skin, and a gush of red blood squished the ground, along with a scream from a wounded Dragonoid. But Heiji didn't stop. She was throwing Fire Magic after Fire Magic to the same spot, slashing with her sword in the middle of the Magic. After less than a minute, the tail fell off, hitting the ground. Seya gathered it inside his Compressed Dimension. Narn began to scream for help.

- Help! Inia, stop this! Eridan!

Inia shook her head.

- You called this punishment upon yourself with your foolish pride and prejudice, stupid lizard!

Seya created three balls of Rock, as big as a Dragonoid head and he threw then against Narn with his Wind Magic mixed with a bit of Fire Magic, to create an explosion, for them to travel faster.

- Here, I'll help you, stupid lizard!

Seya made an opening in between the Gateways that were surrounding Narn so that his head could be targeted. The three balls hit him, right between his burned eyes, knocking him out. The Princess was still mad. She started to slash his neck. It seemed that she wanted his head next. Seya threw a Compressed Dimension against her. He then dissipated all of his Gateways.

- I think it's better if I leave her inside that for an hour or two, to see if she calms down. She's really angry!

Eridan slowly nodded, he was still impressed with that fight.

- Yes, before she kills Narn! I never thought that such a cute little girl could be so dangerous! Going head to head against an Elder Dragonoid, and devising a plan to past through our hard skin! The last time that I saw an Elder losing a tail, was 5.000 years ago! And it was against five Big Demonoids! Inia, I think that you are training her far too well!

- Yeah, I'm starting to think the same! The way that she increased her Fire Magic, was impressive! I've got myself a very powerful apprentice! Heheheheh!

All that noise of the fight, made a red Dwarf rush into the cave, with his battle-ax ready.

- I heard someone screaming! What has happened to Narn? Where is his tail?

Inia smiled a little, thinking of how to explain all that.

- Well… you see… that stupid lizard over there insulted Seya and the little Princess Heiji, my apprentice. She went berserk and fought him. That's the result, over there.

- What? Where is she now? Is she dead?

- No, Seya put her inside his Dark Magic for her to calm down. She was trying to chop off Narn's neck. If she had continued, he would be dead by now.

I have an idea! Seya, bring Heiji here, she never met Igneel. I think she would love to meet a Fire Dragonoid as powerful as Igneel!

- I think the same… here.

From a Compressed Dimension next to Seya, came a very angry Princess, still surrounded by flames.

- Hey, I was almost getting myself a stupid lizard's head! Why did you put me in there? I hate that place!

Seya shook a finger next to Heiji's face.

- Sorry Princess, but you were trying to kill him. One thing is giving that stupid lizard a lesson, another one is killing a Dragonoid. That's a serious no, no. And Master Inia wanted to introduce you to someone. So, put your fire down, you're scary like that! And not pretty!

Heiji dissipated her Magic and she gave her sword to Seya.

- Ok… Uf… that was tiring! I feel better now. He made me so angry! Sorry Master Inia, I lost it for a moment.

- You sure did, dear Heiji. But now, let me introduce you to the Fire Dragonoid Igneel, the Protector of the Dwarf race.

- What? A Fire Dragonoid? So cool! But… you look like a Dwarf? A red beardy and hairy Dwarf!

- Yes, this is my other form. I normally don't look like this. I'm much prettier than Narn over there.

- Oh! Can I see it? Can I? I want to see a Fire Dragonoid!

- Ok, let me back down a little, for more space…

Igneel started to grow and before Heiji, was standing now a bright red enormous Dragonoid more than 20 meters tall, with flames on top of his head, in his claws and on the tip of his tail.

- So pretty… you're so pretty… Seya, look! It's a Fire Dragonoid! Look!

Heiji looked like the child she was. Not like the dreadful fighter that had previously defeated Narn. She was smiling and clapping her hands, completely marveled by the sight in front of her, a Dragonoid that was the personification of her Attribute of Magic.

Seeing the Princess like that, Seya, Inia, and Eridan were smiling. Igneel even made a pose and he then spits fire towards the top of the cave.

- So cool… he even breaths Fire! Amazing…

Igneel was liking all those compliments from the Princess, he even tried to smile, with that big mouth full of teeth.

- Want to go for a flight with me over our island?

- Can I? Of course, I do! How?

- Come and lay on my shoulder. I will hold you with my scales for you to not fall off.

- Ok! Seya, give me a push!

Seya used his Wind Magic to create a tornado that grabbed Heiji and placed her on the left shoulder of Igneel, at more than 20 meters high. She lay with her belly down. Igneel spread his scales to create a niche for her to enter. He then closed gently so that she could be tight, but comfortable. Doing two strong pushes with his powerful wings, Igneel started to fly, to the top of the cave. Heiji was screaming in excitement. On the top, they exited from through a Magic opening that worked as a latch.

Eridan was shaking his head.

- Igneel is going to be so full of him after so many compliments from the Princess that he would be very hard to deal with.

- Yeah, but I think I can persuade him very easy to teach one or two Fire Magic's to my cute apprentice.

- Ahahah! My little sister will just love that! Master Eridan, what will we do with that lizard over there?

- Don't worry, as soon as he wakes up, he will use his Magic to heal his eyes and grow a new tail.

- Oh, he can do that?

- Yes, it's a very difficult Ancient Dragonoid Magic. And it hurts a lot. Serves him right. But Seya, that way of using your Gateway Magic, was really impressive.

- Yeah, the Princess thought of that, when she was against a couple of Gigantic Snakes, some months ago. She may look young, but in a fight, she's terrifying. She's always trying to figure out how to put my Magic's to better use!

- Ahahahah! That stupid lizard never knew what hit him!

And like that, Narn got his laughable nickname and Heiji got herself a new Magic Teacher.
