A Journey That Changed The World.



[I Made a mistake in the previous chapter and had the Nefertiti's group go after the wrong ingredient, but I have fixed it now. If you see anything wrong, let me know]

[Nala, Llyniel, Leira, Sera, Ella, and Halime's POV]

Ella found out that the band of mercenaries were from the Nightshade Empire and were ordered to capture them when they appeared on Orientia. After the man told her everything, she slit his throat without mercy.

She stood up and turned to find the other five girls staring at her with wide eyes. Ella smiled, "What's wrong, ladies?"

Sera shook her head before bounding forward with a beaming smile, "El! You're a savage; where has this side been?" she said while returning to her humanoid form.

Ella giggled, "Archer is in danger, and we don't have time to be nice, but what happened to you four?"

They all shrugged, but Nala explained with red cheeks and a swaying tail, "Something was unlocked; I think it has to do with Archies mana that I'm covered," she said.

"Well, as long it can help us, we can figure it out when we meet the other girls. Maybe Brooke knows what's going on?" Leira said, trying not to overthink about her new form.

Everyone started adding their opinion, but Ella noticed Halime standing with wide eyes while staring at her hands. She approached the snake girl and asked, "What's wrong, Hali?"

"The legends are true, El; I can't believe I unlocked the Primal Guardians bloodline. It explains everything cause he was just like me, a Black Mamba Snake."'

"What does that mean, worm?" Sera said while she twirled around.

"'Shut up, lizard! I am not a worm," Halime snapped back, but Ella cut it out and suggested they move toward Tulsipur City so no more mercenaries could attack them.

When the half-elf said that, Nala transformed into her Primal form and lowered her body so the girls could get on her, which they instantly did. Once secure on her back, the lioness started sprinting across the lush grassland.

Everyone loved the feeling of wind hitting their faces. Sera enjoyed herself the most as she tugged on Nala's fur, encouraging her to go faster, but the lioness growled at the annoying dragon.

It took them a few hours to reach the city, where they stopped in a small forest nearby. Ella jumped off Nala as she spoke, "I think Ashoka will meet us here."'

They nodded, but Halime asked curiously, "Will Archer help her take her family's empire?"

Ella was about to speak, but Leira interrupted with a knowing smile, "Our husband's goals are unknown. When we first met, he didn't want to be a king, but now look? He has a kingdom of fanatics who worship him like a god emperor."

The girls laughed, but Sera commented, "I think the Church of Light may have pushed him into it."

Everyone agreed with a nod, but Leira smiled and said, "Archer has spent billions on the people and helping the kingdom. What kind of dragon does that?"

"Our dragon," Sera, Halime, and Ella said simultaneously, causing everyone to giggle.

As darkness fell, the group set up camp and prepared to wait for Ashoka. The tiger woman took a while to arrive, and two days passed. During this time, the girls hid in the forest, occasionally seeing hunters pass by searching for them.

Halime managed to eavesdrop on one of their conversations before she attacked them in her Primal form and swallowed the soldiers whole. Ashoka appeared and breathed heavily when the snake girl returned to the camp.

The six gathered around, but the brown-skinned woman warned them, "We need to get to move; the empire is sending a small force to capture you as their allies to the Novgorod Empire."

When the girls heard this, Halime, Nala, Leira, and Sera transformed into their Primal forms, while Ashoka did the same. Ella and Llyniel jumped on the massive cat's back and sunk into the purple fur.

After that, their new friend led them across the grassland while the Ganeshains chased them, but thanks to their girl's new forms, they could travel much further. Leira was so fast that the two elves had to hold on, and she quickly jumped over rocks and crossed rivers.

Sera circled above, astonishing the girls with her size-twice as large as before, though still not as immense as Archer. Thanks to their swift pace, the group traversed the Ganesha Empire without any issues, easily evading their hunters.

Before long, they arrived at the Green Sea Jungle and began searching for the Dark Unicorn to acquire its heart to help Archer. The humid air made everyone sweat, but Ashoka navigated the terrain expertly.

The breathtaking landscapes left them in awe. Massive trees pierced the clouds, their branches reaching high above. Ella spotted a stunning waterfall cascading into a ravine as they hurried along.

Vines, colorful flowers, and all kinds of monsters passed them by while trying to avoid Ashoka. After a few hours, the tiger woman remarked, "We will soon be in the Dark Unicorn's

territory."

After another hour, they found the monster hidden deep in the jungle without much searching, thanks to the tiger woman who told them she would return soon before darting into the nearby bushes.

However, Leira reacted before anyone could say anything and lunged at the creature. She was so fast that the unicorn was taken by surprise as she tore it apart. After that, Llyniel jumped onto Halime's head, saying, "Hali and I will find the moss. Now that she has a Black Mamba form, no one will mess with us."

Ella nodded at the suggestion as the two darted off just as Leira warned as her senses went wild, "Monster's incoming everyone!"

Everyone got ready just as a horde of orcs rushed out while roaring, causing Sera to swoop down and crash into a group before tearing them apart easily using her large claws, tail, and

teeth.

Nala wouldn't be left behind, so she rushed forward while swiping at the monster, which turned them into blood mist. Leira joined the fray after killing the dark unicorn, just as Ella jumped to the ground and ran over to it.

She assumed the monster would be strong but guessed now. Ella took out her knife and cut out the still-beating heart before storing it in her ring. Following that, she shouted, "Got the unicorn heart! We can leave once Halime and Llyniel get back!"

The four girls started battling with the wave of orcs that rushed out from the bushes, but that's when the atmosphere changed, causing them to back up. Sera landed with a crash, and they got back to back as Terravains appeared around them.

Ella readied her bow while Nala, Leira, and Sera, one of them, stepped forward with a wicked smile, "The white devil's demon brides have appeared like the Dark God predicted. Now we can repay the favor and turn you girls into our newest weapons."

Just as it spoke, a bright browny green light appeared in the distance just as an echoing roar resounded. Nala's head snapped in that direction as something barred through the trees until a massive Forest Dragon appeared.

It crashed into the Terravians, who were taken by surprise, but that wasn't all as the ground started shaking, causing Leira and Nala to jump out of the way while Sera took off just as Halime burst out from the ground and bit one of the enemy in half.

When the others saw this, they all charged forward until a massive battle erupted in the middle of the Green Sea Desert. Nala, Leira, Sera, and Ashoka butchered all the weaker ones and struggled against the leader.

The Terravian managed to land a punch on the snake girl, which sent her skidding backward before rushing toward Ella, who swung her bow, which the enemy blocked, and punched the half-elf in the cheek, sending her flying into a nearby tree and hitting the ground with a grunt. After that, the Terravian lunged forward, seizing Ella by the throat and lifting her into the air. Nala roared in anger and charged, but a stronger enemy struck her down, sending her crashing

to the ground.

The other girls were preoccupied with their battles when Ella, despite her peril, felt a surge of power within her. With a determined smile, she grabbed an arrow and plunged it into the

Terravian's eye.

The Terravian screamed in agony as the arrow plunged deep into its eye, releasing Ella as the pain overwhelmed it. She dropped to her knees, her body beginning to glow with an intense, radiant light that bathed the battlefield in brilliance.

Ella's form shifted and expanded as the transformation unfolded, her silhouette growing more majestic and imposing. The light grew brighter, and Ella emerged as a dragon with a final, blinding flash. Gasps of astonishment echoed around the battlefield as everyone took in

the sight.

Sera narrowed her large eyes, fixated on the breathtaking transformation. Ella now stood as a smaller dragon, her scales a stunning pale yellow that shimmered in the light and her eyes a

vibrant, piercing blue.

She bore a striking resemblance to Archer, though more delicate and graceful. Sera's jaw dropped, but the excitement soon took over, her voice ringing with awe and triumph. "Ella's a Light Dragon! A dragon who wields the power of Tiamat and is blessed by the goddess!" Just as she said, even more Terravains appeared, which were stronger. Due to the distraction, Ella ate the enemy, who grabbed her by the neck. But as the battle was about to start, thunder rolled over and slammed into the ground between the two groups.

A white-haired woman stepped out of the dust cloud; Sera knew precisely who it was and bowed down along with Ella and the others, causing the stranger to smile, "Good girls. I knew having you meet my boy was the right choice."'
