The dragon, Axel let out a dry chuckle, the experience with lightning and fire still fresh in his mind.
"It is made entirely of zvezdan." Indus continued, "so if you manage to kill it, you'll have abundant material."
Axel winced at those words, rubbing his left hand, no way in hell was he going close to that monster.
"You said four guardians?"
Indus nodded, "Each terrible in its own right, each representing a pillar of ancient Tihodol."
Hmm, so this should be the ruins, "and what does the dragon signify."
"Alchemy."
Well his hopes of learning crafting had basically been dashed, for now.
Axel sighed, "so no other way then."
Indus nodded, "Why do you want to learn?" his tone was a lot more serious now.
Axel stood silent, he took a deep breath, "To heal someone."
Indus's gaze lingered on him for a second, almost like he was studying him, "I see."
"If it's healing you want, the Gishiki can do that."
Axel's eyes widened, gleaming with hope, "really?"
