Kuruki: Don't say another word. I've made my choice. And I chose you.
P2: .///.
Kuruki: Let us enter. Elder Marla is inside. *Opens door*
Marla: ...Aw, that shine looks nice.. ..? Ahh, Kuruki. And young Prometheus as well. I assume you have asked?

Kuruki: I have... '-'
Marla: And what was his answer?

Kuruki: ... *Looks down* H-he.. harbors feelings for me.. Elder Marla. v///v

Marla: As I thought. c: But, you do know what the duties of a guardian intels, correct? ( cont. )

P2: Hey, Miss Marla! Don't do anything to Kuruki! She's a really sweet girl, you can't just punish her, ok??

Kuruki: Prometheus..
P2: I'm responsible for her changing her mind about the rules, so.. If you're gonna punish anyone, I'll take it on. Just let walk outta here!

Marla: Hummm.. You feel that strongly about her, do you?

P2: Yeah! 'o' Can't we work something out?

Marla: There is nothing to work out, child of man. Kuruki knows full well a dragonkin with ties to a lover cannot be guardian. Her mind would be too clouded of you, and whether or not you are of good health.

Kuruki: D: ...

Marla: She'd be far too distracted. And you would visit, I'm sure. ...There's is only one thing left to do... ( cont. )

Kuruki: ...I am prepared to undergo whatever trial I must. *Kneels*

P2: !!

Marla: Kuruki.. Arise, and go live your life. 'o'

Kuruki: !!! W-what??

P2: ...HUH!?

Marla: ..What?
Kuruki: B-but, the rules-!!

Marla: Oh, that. I talked to Castor and Zenith after we offered to watch the stones again. That rule, plus, there being Dragonkin who still seek to rebuild the relationship with humans-

Kuruki: There are???
Marla: Oh yes. We have met such on our travels. *Looks around and whispers* Truth be told, I broke the rule when I was guardian. Hue hue hue..

P2: N-no way! :O ( cont. )

Kuruki: I-I think I feel faint.. YOU!?

Marla: It was a good couple hundred years ago. I was quite the looker, and there were many who sought to spend some time with a young thing like me. :3

P2: Oh... my gosh. xD ...Wait, so you dated??

Marla: Married, actually. And fufilled my duties as guardian in secret. But.. I'd prefer if it remained secret.
P2/Kuruki: Whoa.... :O

Marla: Life as a guardian is a lonely one. I feel sorry for those who spent their youth undertaking such a role. That is why when I saw Kuruki's expression when you left the first time... I knew history would repeat itself.

Kuruki: Elder Marla...

Marla: I came up with an idea.. The Dragon Stones are used primarily to aid Dragonkin children with incredible power to get used to their strength. But with so many strong youths nowadays, the stones have almost lost their purpose.. ( cont. )

Marla: So what if we send them all to a village, respective to their dragon-type, and have each one look after a stone? Rather than have them all together where someone could take them all?
Kuruki: You.. want to rewrite how the Dragon Stones are looked after??

Marla: I do. And with a few more humans, such as Levan, siding with us, they'll be safe. The problem solves itself, really.

P2: Yeeeahh, I think it could work.. The dragon guys just have to train like Kuruki to resist dragonsbane, too. 'o'

Marla: !! She what??

Kuruki: ...I have.. M-more or less. I couldn't have done so without Prometheus' help, however.

Marla: I thought that there was something special about you, boy. :) ...Well then, I have no more to say about the matter. Kuruki. Whether or not you stay here, or go to his realm is up to you. U shall leave you two alone, now. *Exits the door* ( cont. )

P2: BWAAAH, I ALMOST FORGOT!! D: We live in two seperate worlds!!

Kuruki: We do.. I.. never thought about this, I always thought I'd remain here as guardian. But now.. I'm free to choose my own path. But what do I do?? Just as you, I too have allies here. And close friends.. Laquia, Blast, Crisella, my mother and father..
P2: How could I get so ahead of myself?? >.<' How is this gonna work? We can't just.. leave our homes like nothing.

Kuruki: I'm just as confused.. ._.' *Sits down* I need a minute...

I love how Maria was like "HA, who cares about that one rule! Back in the day I was a gorgeous rebel *whispers* and I still am to this day, huehuehue."

@ShihouxAdventure You gotta watch out for those older peeps. Boy do they have stories! xD

I'm tempted to do a young Marla drawing, but I digress. :'P
