Well, on the downside, the dragons were sadly not the ones she expected. Perhaps that was also a good thing, given how prideful they could be, and how they loathed humans. Gabriella had been one of the few exceptions. Well, she didn’t hate One at anyrate. At any rate, the goal of finding her own personal dragon seemed to be a failure. But she did at least stick around, listening to them speak and partaking in some of the math games.
And made out like a bandit.
Within the cave, anyone can find One inspecting each item she received from the games played, some smugness found in her smile. Sure, these were hardly the items or the original target she aimed for, but they were all so very worth it. The plush especially was made of high quality materials. One of her sisters or even her brother would most certainly enjoy it, assuming they ever arrived. Though if they didn’t want it, she could always keep it on display in her room. Her drab home certainly needed a bit more flavor to it.
Just as she’s done examining the calculator, the collection of various dice, and other such knick-knacks, she finally tries to open the last package. It had been small, yet a bit heavier than expected. And as she unwrapped it, it gradually grew longer, taking on the shape of a spear. Even with the shape forming under her fingers, she had a strong guess as to what this was. Finally, the spear shined brightly, flames of the cave reflecting off the large pole. And at the end had been a curved blade, one she had been familiar with all too well.
One’s face twisted in disgust. Wasn’t a bad weapon really. But the memories it brought…
“...My only regret is that I couldn’t pierce your former owner with this.”
Two-Fold Failure - locked to tooawesome/Alluka
One found herself in a familiar place, in an area of white walls and regally decorated surroundings. For a time, she was worried she had been sent right back to the first trial, when she had nearly been tricked into thinking her family had been fully united. Thankfully this wasn't the case, not when her ears allowed her to pick up on the slightly quieter atmosphere.
But more importantly, she recognized the large area they were in, and the growling below her. She had been riding atop a dragon, and not like the ones in Folkmore. No, this one easily rose above other buildings, and it's head had been blocked by a strange dome, a mask hiding its facial features. No mistaking it. This was her old friend, Gabriel, what Gabriella had once become...
And he was growling right down at Alluka. Realizing the problem, One jumped in front of her friend immediately, one hand raised to the beast.
"Stand down, Gabriel. She's not a threat....she's a friend as well, one you can trust."
There was a pause from the dragon, before it leaned in, petting itself against the hand of One. Her heart ached. This wasn't real. Or at least she wasn't in the real world, she knew that much. But...this was still Gabriel, her most treasured friend in the world. And after everything, she couldn't resist hugging the creature's head, giving a deep, tired sigh. This wasn't like the Shades, were they copied Gabriella's appearance. This was a comforting memory of a friend, and she'd take even a minute of his time.
"Regardless of what hell we may endure next...I am glad to see you."
