Auna turned the egg that had once been a dull lifeless thing over in her hands. Everyone had been taking turns with it. It travelled often from the dungeon to the city and the beach. It now had every colour she could think off, and them some covering the shell. It pulsed with life, wanting to hatch, but still not ready. It was now heavier, and thicker. Everyone was a bit excited to see if the dormant egg would hatch. Auna placed it back on the pillow in the school. It was the schools turn to have it.
Auna went to the middle of the open space between the fields and building on the first level. It had been ten days since she came to the dungeon. She was ready to try to complete the creation of a dragon. She and Rowan sat across from each other on the ground. Many had come to watch them. Auna had placed runes of summoning, life, magic, a few heretic rebirth ones, and a couple other ones that had felt right. She had saturated them as well. Now it was time to try their luck.
It took nearly a whole hour of them both activating their skills, guiding the magic. Soon a new dragon nearly as big as a house stood in the field. It was a dragon covered in flowers, vines, and wooden branches. In random spots black, red, white, and brown scales looked as if they fell into the mass of branches. The scales were sturdy though, humming with power. The eyes were black holes with red flames. It had pure black claws, with sharp white teeth.
The dragon sat looking at Auna, then it spoke. “Give me a name, my creator, my master. I shall serve you.” Everyone stayed quiet looking between the dragon and Auna.
“I shall name you Alexios Jasper. You will protect this dungeon, and the city Altan Dawn. That is what is considered the territory of Jasper right now.” Auna spoke then took a look at the status of Alexios, the new protector of Jasper. She quickly let others see the status screen of Alexios.
“You have created an undead creature that can use holy magic?” Grandmother elf couldn’t believe her eyes. “It is so big; can it even leave the dungeon?”
“Um. Alexios, can you leave the dungeon?” Auna asked the dragon.
“I can use my nature magic to become smaller.” As the dragon spoke, he became smaller until he was smaller than even Ayda.
“This is amazing did you get any new skills for this?” Jensen jumped around the now tiny dragon. “What a perfect thing, the school kids are going to love him.”
“I did, it is called creation of life, under my first job. The only description is that ‘The person of this skill has created a new life form’ nothing else.” Auna shrugged. It hadn’t even given her experience.
“Well, are you good to dive into the dungeon?” Jensen asked. Once everyone settled down a bit.
“Sure.” Auna handed the now small dragon to the elf grandmother as she pulled herself together. Her body was now fully healed. She took one last look at her new tamed monsters status sheet.

“Let’s go!” Ciela laughed as they jumped to the last floor, they had made it to, level 18. It was a damp floor with crab monsters and other aquatic ones. They were all excited to get back to what they considered normal. They had twenty days to spend in the dungeon.
They had their tamed monsters with them, splitting between the front and back of their formation. Everyone walked down the wet slimy path as they hunted down snails, crabs, octopus, and more. They had not really found anything of value in these floors. Which was fine, they could not expect each floor to give them rare or useful resources. They were also gaining experience at a decent rate.
“Level 19 here we come!” Mateo yelled as they went to leave the stairwell. “I hope it smells better than these ones.” The last few floors had smelt awful.
“I think it is a boss room.” Auna pointed to an odd door. “Shall we?”
They entered the room. It was almost a beach like area. With nice trees around the coast. The middle of the room began to move slowly. A mountain rises from it. Green slimly flesh leading to many different long tentacles. At the center one glossy eye below that a sharp beak. It looked slowly until landed on a target. Then it sent majority of its’ tentacles to the group. They scattered without a command. They had gotten good at that.
“Ciela, Meredith support the triplets. Chloe you are with me, we are going for the eye.” Auna bounced to the side with Chloe chasing after her. Jensen followed closely.
The triplets kept the tentacles busy while being supported by all of their pets, Meredith and Ciela. They were keeping the focus off the main strike team. The single eye was still on the main group when Chloe jumped off Jensens’ shield that he had crouched under to spring her up. Auna flew up, having put strong fabric over the holes, her wings could now carry her small distances again.
The girls both smashed the eye at the same time. Chloe had a face full of blood with a wicked smile. She was very happy to be back to this. Auna had sliced downwards and was now stuck in the eye, her feet bracing herself against the beak. Chloe was already on her way back to the ground.
“Uh my moon, perhaps not the safest place?” Jensen called after her as the monster swayed reaching for her sword.
“Like this was the plan! My sword is stuck in the socket!” Auna roared.
“Then let it go?!” Jensen roared back.
“I like this sword!” Auna argued.
“Can we not have a lovers spat right now!” Chloe yelled over them.
“It’s not a lovers spat.” Jensen and Auna yelled together. Chloe was already back on her way to the eye, while the triplets were trying to keep the tentacles from going to Auna.
“What ever it is. Can we not?” Chloe now also balancing on the beak holding the hilt of Aunas’ sword with her. She was attempting to remove it while also swinging into the eye more.
“Are you really serious right now?” Chloe demanded as the sword would not come free.
“Very, it was a gift!” Auna grunted as she pulled.
“Can we get some magic aimed at the eye here?” Chloe gave another shout.
“Let’s burn the thing.” Auna growled. Letting out a torrent of lightening as Chloe purposely dropped from her perch.
“More warning please.” Chloe landed in a roll.
“Everyone!” Fire, Lightening, and earth magic targeted the main eye all at once. It bled and the monster swayed falling forwards in pain. They kept up the attack cutting and hacking the tentacles while smashing the beak and eye more. After nearly two hours the beast died, they cut the teeth out as the meat smelled too gross. The teeth in the beak though were small and sharp, they could make for great material. Then they washed up the best they could, not wanting to go to the next level covered in blood and slime. They rested for a bit on the stairwell.
“Do you think the next floor will be different?” Ciela asked stretching, it was time to move.
“I hope so, I am so done with the dampness.” Meredith complained as they moved further down the stairs, happy to move on.
“Congratulations! You are the first team to make it to this level of the dungeon, your reward has been given to you.”
“Wow this is really cool! Still tastes gross though.” Meredith laughed as they all consumed their pearls. This time it was a consumable pearl that would increase each stat by 25. It was a great boost as they wouldn’t have to increase stats like luck with their level gains. It was no little boost either, they were all very pleased.
