Devil's Planet, Dragon Island, West Sunlit Beach, 10:00 a.m.
'A girl would grow into a beautiful lady, as a seed would grow into a scarlet rose. That rebellious and spoiled princess who was protected under her father's wings, she has turned out to be a beautiful young lady and a great young leader with ability to protect her father and dragon clan under her wings.'
Morgana thought at Amelia's dragonback, exploring the horizon in the sea of clouds. The clouds drifted with drifting wind, drifting behind Amelia's dragon's tail, as if the clouds were Amelia's dragon shadow. The wind drifted through Amelia's dragon wings, caressing Morgana's ears, soothing Morgana's hair.
"Amelia! Please take me to West Sunlit Beach! I'm gonna host Dragon Riding Contest at West Sunlit Beach in Dragon Island, to meet five brilliant dragon knights, to witness their impressive dragon riding performances, and to feel their delight, sorrow, mercy, kindness and love. Let's sail over the sea of clouds!"
Morgana gave Amelia her destination, riding on Amelia's dragonback. She stood on Amelia's dragonback, looking upon the horizon of the fields through the clouds, with the view of farmlands, mountains and rivers. She faced upon majesty monsoon, feeling fresh wind drifting along Amelia's dragon wings.
"Yes, your majesty! Participants are expecting you, there are five dragon knights and five dragos. Five dragon knights are devil dragon knight Dominic, vampire dragon knight Valerie, werewolf dragon knight Warren, snake people dragon knight Savannah, human dragon knight Heidi. Five dragons are the Dragon of Flame Fiona, the Dragon of Air Adeline, the Dragon of Water Wrenlee, the Dragon of Spirit Sloane, and the Dragon of Earth Everleigh."
Amelia introduced participants to the queen, taking the queen to meet participants. She fluttered her dragon's wings, raising with drifting wind beyond the sea of clouds. She fluttered from firmament to the arms of surface, descending at West Sunlit Beach, where participants were expecting the queen.
"Good morning, your majesty! Good morning, president Amelia!"
Five dragon knights who were two heroes and three heroines in their hometowns, they greeted to the queen and president Amelia, kneeling on their right knees at the queen and president Amelia. Dominic who was devil dragon knight, he was a young gentleman with a firing ambition of conquering a dragon.
Five dragons who were five young dragon ladies and the elites in dragon clan, they set their dragon feet on ground, bowing down their dragon heads to the queen and president Amelia. Foina who was the Dragon of Flame, she was a young dragon lady with ability of sommoning flame.
"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! It's with a great pleasure that I announce Dragon Riding Contest. Dragon Riding Contest aims at deepening connection between dragon knight and dragon. Dragon knight and dragon together would be powerful enough to conquer the whole heaven and the whole ocean."
Morgana made a speech in front of participants, riding on Amelia's dragonback. She had authorized Daniel to group dragon knight army. She was gonna select the elites of royal guards to be dragon knights, but she didn't think it's fair for Devil Empire to have dragon knight army, and the other empires to have no dragon knights at all.
"Your majesty! I'm Dominic, from Devil Empire Capital, famed as devil dragon knight. How could I miss my opportunity to conquer a dragon as my companion? Even though I might receive a lesson that I would not forget it. Riding on a massive dragon must be a kind of great joy for every knight. May I challenge this dragon lady?"
Dominic introduced himself, pointing at the Dragon of Flame Fiona. He had prepared to be beaten by dragon, before he considered participating in Dragon Riding Contest. He had to conquer this dragon lady, before he got this dragon lady's permission to ride on this dragon lady's dragonback.
"If you wanted to challenge Fiona, you can discuss with Fiona freely in front of me. Dragon clan always honors the stronger. You have to prove that you are the stronger, before you could be offered a contract. Once you got contracted with your dragon companion, you would share your dragon companion's lifespan and power."
Morgana replied in a peaceful tone, encouraging Dominic discuss about the challenge with Fiona. She didn't think it's fair for the other clans to conquer a dragon by power, when the dragon was too powerful for them. She didn't demand on the form of challenge, as long as dragon knights could conquer dragons to be their companions.
"You are a devil, and I'm a dragon, but we honor the same tradition, that everything is up to the winner. If you could conquer me by power, I would offer you a contract, to get contracted with you, to swear my loyalty to you, and to honor you as my master. But if you couldn't conquer me, you probably won't be offered a contract."
Fiona announced her statement, accepting Dominic's challenge. She was too pride of herself to honor a loser as her master. If she had to pick up a master, she would pick up the one who could conqure her by power.
She was the Dragon of Flame with ability of sommoning flame. She sommoned heavenly flame, ascending over the air like rising sun, descending with heavenly flame like setting sun. She intended to strike where Dominic stood, but she missed Dominic, who took advantage of this moment, fluttered up Fiona's dragonback.
"Thank you for your dragon riding performance. Dominic! You look more handsome, when you are riding on dragonback. Your score is 8.88."
Morgana said in a peaceful tone, judging Dominic's dragon riding performance. She witnessed Dominic fluttered up Fiona's dragonback, and sailed over the sea of clouds. She witnessed Dragon and Fiona fluttered up firmament beyond the sea of clouds, and fluttered down the arms of surface.
'Heaven is vast enough for birds to fly freely, and ocean is vast enough for fishes to swim freely. It's ocean that lays under dragon knight's feet, and it's heaven that shines over dragon knight's head. Dragon knight and dragon together would be powerful enough to conquer the whole heaven and the whole ocean.'
