Chapter 6: Chapter 6: The Power of the Sun is Within My Hands

     Reika couldn't believe what she saw that day. The peaceful village, bustling with people, turned into a sea of flames. The heat of the house that was burning reached even to them. Screams of agony, loud crying, and voices shouting for help echoed throughout the area. Reika couldn't utter any words.

     Soru, on the other hand, saw the enormous monster that's been rampaging through the village. It was huge, with wings that spanned over several meters. It looks like a serpent, with a crested head and enormous claws. Its large, bulky scales are maroon in color. Soru remembered what the old man had told them. It was definitely the Wildfire Dragon "Veylir", one of the six calamity dragons.

     "Soru, help them!" Reika shouted.

     Soru turned his head on Reika. He saw Reika, who was sweating, eagerly waiting for his response. Soru sighed. He followed Reika's request and faced the village that was still burning.

     Suddenly, the flames that covered the entire village vanished, along with the hissing and crackling sounds. As the scorching heat began to drop, the screams from the villagers also began to subside, but he could still hear faint sobbing around him. The old man, even Reika, who knew of Soru's mysterious ability, was shocked.

     The dragon suddenly roared louder, and the remaining survivors, along with the old man, Reika, and Soru, looked up in the sky. The Wildfire Dragon Veylir was burning!

     Its entire body was set ablaze. But despite being burned alive, to their surprise, the dragon was completely fine, without any signs of discomfort from the flames that engulfed its body.
