Memory Seven
(Chapter 18)

Things to Note:

- All names have been redacted, but dragon titles are intact, so people can hear "Seiryuu" and Hakuryuu", etc.
- Everything should be from Leviathan's perspective.

Summary:

- It begins with Hakuryuu and Raijuu fighting amongst themselves. He keeps getting called White Snake which greatly annoys him. He promises to cut his throat out if he gets called it one more time but Hiryuu punches them both in the face and tells them to knock it off. She tells Raijuu to stop picking on him because Hakuryuu isn't used to being away from home, and explains that Hak is just a bully.

- The youngest in the group introduces himself as **** and he wants confirmation that Hakuryuu can sense the presence of the other four dragons. He confirms this and says the nearest one is Seiryuu. But when asked which direction he's in, Hakuryuu points vaguely in one direction. The boy expresses that he doesn't feel comfortable following someone who has never left their village before to which Hakuryuu is very offended! He tells everyone that he knows plenty however and to follow him...!

- Unfortunately, as Hakuryuu sets out for the others to follow him, he immediately falls off a steep ledge and into a pit of bugs. He panics and cries until he manages to pull himself up and gets insulted further for his fear of insects. They start threatening to fight one another until footsteps alert them to the presence of others.

- Surprise, it is bandits. Everyone freaks out a little thinking it might be the fire tribe for fortunately it's not. The princess and the boy are told to hide so that Hakuryuu and Raijuu can deal with the bandits... who, upon seeing them all, decide that they might fetch a good price if sold, including Hakuryuu himself.

- Unsure about the princess's current situation, he asks if it's alright to cut up the people threatening them. Hak suggests he just run away and hide but Hakuryuu scoffs at this. A man ends up touching his arm and reeling backward because it burned him, and Hakuryuu explains that no one should touch his arm lightly because it has been waiting to serve his master for all this time.

- The men fight the bandits and are very impressive while doing so, but argue the entire time. At one point, Raijuu calls him White Snake once more and Hakuryuu makes a swipe toward him. They continue to fight and bicker however until they notice that a man has grabbed the princess. Both cut him down almost immediately and ask if she is alright.

- Once it's clear that Hiryuu is safe, the boys argue over who defeated more men before Hakuryuu wobbles and seems to fall to his knees. He's used too much power for his first time in an actual battle and so feels a little dizzy. He apologizes for fighting in an unrefined manner but it seems to have excited Raijuu, who wants another go with him.

- Unfortunately for Raijuu, he's still injured apparently from a previous battle and collapses. Hakuryuu is amazed that he was able to move so quickly despite being so terribly injured. He has to admit that the Thunder Beast seems to almost be able to keep up with one of the dragons. He picks up Raijuu and carries him for Hiryuu and they talk for just a short bit. He's impressed that the princess wasn't scared during the whole ordeal. She shares that nothing scares her as much as what happened 'that night'. He can't tell if it's the blood in his veins, or what, but he feels a strong urge to truly support her and help her stand tall.

Commentary:

- So this is shortly after meeting everyone.
- He's deligated to the back of the line :(
- The fire tribe is an enemy to the princess
- He for sure has never left his village
- He can sense the other dragons
- If he fights without control it's kind of tiring
- BEING CALLED WHITE SNAKE IS REALLY RUDE
- Also, Raijuu really was a bully

Effects: This tells him a little more about his powers and abilities and about how his relationship back home may have been with Raijuu.
