  It wasn't until around 3 or 4 pm when Zilla awoke. Her hangover was finally gone, and she felt well rested and alert. She stretched before brushing her mane and tail smooth. They were all messy from her rest, and she simply couldn't let anyone see her in that state. When she was finished styling her mane, she put on her silver jewelry and then left her room. She made her way down the halls, and into the courtyard where she saw Nero talking to two very small Toxic-Blaze dragons. She began her approach.

  "Okay you two, listen closely." Nero said, and the two gave him their full attention. "Since you are Toxic-Blaze dragons, you don't have an element like other dragons do. Instead, you two are gifted with the Acid ability, and it is a power that only your race can wield."

  "Mr. Nero? Why is that? How come only our kind can use Acid?" Kaize asked.

  "That's simple. All Toxic-Blaze dragons are born with a very unique quality. Your blood has a neurotoxin in it that makes it highly poisonous. So your blood itself can cause damage to any living thing. And it is because of your highly toxic blood, that your breath ability is Acid." Nero explained. "So try using that ability on those rocks. Just try to imagine them melting away, and feel the burning liquid within your body rise forth." The two young dragons concentrated for a moment, and then Kaize tried first. He stepped up to the stones and reared back on his hind legs before stomping forward and opening his jaws. Nothing but a stinky burp came out. Nyla laughed for a moment, before stepping forward for her try. She crouched low to the ground, then lunged forward and shot a stream and steaming green liquid at the boulder. Upon impact, the acid began to eat away at the rock before dissolving, and leaving a nice acidic hole in it. She leapt with joy at her accomplishment!

  "Look Kaize! Did you see?! I did it!" Nyla cheered, but Kaize seemed disappointed and angry. Nero leaned down towards him.

  "Give it another try Kaize, I know you can do it." He said, trying to encourage him. Kaize gained a determined look, and then took a strong stance in front of the rock. He stared it down, as if trying to visualize its destruction. Then he reared up once more, and slammed his feet down with surprising force. He opened his jaws and out shot a blast of steaming acid! But something was different about his attack, instead of just impacting and dissolving like Nyla's did, Kaize's acid struck the rock, and started to burn with green and black flames as it ate its way through the rock. Within a matter of seconds, there was nothing left of it but a burn mark on the ground. Nero and all others in the courtyard looked with great surprise at the young dragon.

  "Ha! How was that for acid?!" Kaize grinned, and Nero stood awestruck.

  "Kaize- you have a very, very rare ability." Nero said, and Kaize looked to him. "You don't have the Acid ability like your sister. You have the Corrosive Flame ability. Your grandfather also has this ability, but the odds of you getting it were one in a million. It is twice as powerful as the Acid ability, and three times as destructive, so do take care when using it." Nero explained, and it was then that Zilla approached him.

  "Hello Nero, I was wondering if you had another quest for me?" Zilla asked.

  "Ah, Zilla, indeed I do. Your next quest is actually a new ability. It is called the Shadow Blade, and it will allow you to transform the tip of your tail into a sharp blade of dark energy. Simply focus your powers at your tail, and form a blade-like shape. When you are able to conjure it, test it out on those dummies over there. They are enchanted to be invincible, so attack all you like." Nero instructed.
Here's Zilla's next quest, and a little tid-bit about Nyla and Kaize learning their ability over Acid. :)

Enjoy!
