Choose to be a Dragon

Chapter 6

Her hands started to glow and a ball of green fire suddenly emerged in her palm facing Aldwin. The obvious heat produced cracking sounds and steam from heat immediately rose above the fire.

Seeing this, Aldwin was had mixed emotions of surprise and fear, his terrified expression was drawn all over his face as he realized that the fire she was holding was real and he could feel its intense heat even from five meters away and despite the cold setting of the rain!

The bigger the fire burned, the stronger the heat becomes. The cold atmosphere is gone, now replaced by a burning threat!

Knowing that he could probably die in this situation, Aldwin mustered his best English he learned from school in hopes that the fire-bending-Chinese woman could understand him.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! I am was just trying to help you!" Aldwin pleaded with an explanation.

"Liar! You are one of that Arkhan thrash!" The Chinese girl suddenly talked in English.

"You can speak English? And what is an Arkhan?"

"Explain yourself. Where am I?" The Chinese woman asked in a domineering tone.

"Yes! Yes! Now listen! You in the Philippines! Cebu, Philippines to be exact! I is trying to save you because the monster is coming here!" Aldwin said with barely understandable English.

Looking down at the wet ground to avoid looking at her tempting body, Aldwin continued: "I saw lightning, and you drop here. I live here in Cebu, Philippines and I come to help you and-"

"Stop! - " The woman held her head as if suffering from a terrible headache.

After learning that she is in Cebu, Philippines, she suddenly spoke in Aldwin's native language - Bisayan. (Although they speak in Bisayan language, let's keep it in English for everyone to understand)

"Your English sucks so speak to me in your native language!" increasing the size of the fireball in her hand, she demanded Aldwin in a threatening voice.

Aldwin was surprised to hear her talking in his native tongue. However, a Chinese person that can speak fluent Bisayan language was not new for him as there are millions of Chinese families deeply rooted in the Philippines and it was only normal to see some Chinese blooded Pinoy speak in the different local dialect in the Philippines.

"Oh, okay. Sorry about my English. You see English, it is just not my favorite subject, but I do excel in the arts and-" Aldwin hurriedly answered back trying to explain his side, afraid that a slight mistake in his intention with cause the other to toast him alive with burning green fire.

Fooooosh!~

A small amount of green fire suddenly landed before Aldwin and the latter immediately jumped a few feet away from the terrible heat. Fear and panic exhibited his wet and muddy face.

"I don't care who you are and what you like. I want to know, how long was I unconscious?"

"How long you were unconscious? Hmm. It should not be more than twenty minutes since I saw you drop from the sky, uhm mam." Aldwin held his chin while in deep thought with his wet body shaking from the cold rain and fear of burning. As for the angry woman before him, she glared at Aldwin with a suspicious look.

"Are you sure you are not one of those Arkhans?"

"What Arkhans?! What are you talking about?! I am not Arkhans, I am Aldwin! Aldwin de la Cruz!" Aldwin was confused. Why would she insist that he is Arkhans? What or who was it anyway?

"Hmp. Thank you for your information. But you still can't fool me Arkhan bug. Now die."

"Huh? What do you mean? Wai-"

With an emotionless face, the fire-bending girl was about to unleash her fire toward's Aldwin when her ultra-sharp senses noticed an incoming enemy and immediately looked behind her.

KyaaheeiiiIkheiik!~ Stupid Kapre finally trapped in a landslide hahhah! Dragon meat is mine! KyaheheheheheiiiIk!

The Manananggal came back at a blazing speed straight to the naked Chinese woman! Her arms were extended forward with her excited eyes and salivating mouth.

With quick thinking, the naked girl decided to shoot the Manananggal with the fireball instead!

Fwooooohhssshh!~

The fireball missed the Manananggal as it hastily curved to the side with extraordinary speed despite her wide wings.

"KyaaheheheheheiiiK!" The Manananggal laughed excitedly as it inches closer to the naked girl while making the most gruesome grin she can showcase.

The girl with a nonchalant look on her face decided to throw more fireballs in a flash but the Mananaggal just evaded them effortlessly, slowly making the proud fire bending girl getting irritated.

"Just die you insect!" the naked fire-bending girl unleashed an even larger fire only to miss her target again.

"Grrrr!" looking at her hands, she mumbled to herself. "Why is my recovery going too slow. I can't even use more than two percent of my actual power right now. I want to squash this annoying bug so much!"

"Kyahahahaha~"

The laughing Manananggal was too fast contrary to its size!

Aldwin did not know what to do but to watch the spectacle with his eyes glued and mouth still open!

"Bēibǐ! You even worked together with demons!", The woman stared again at Aldwin with even more resentful eyes! (means "despicable!")

"What now!?" awoken and back on track, Aldwin shouted with a confused and anxious face.

"Mine! heiikheiikheeiiik!!"

The Manananggal was about to grab the girl's neck when she narrowly dodged the Manananggal's dive with a quick but elegant jump!

Her hair flowed along with her graceful movements as she flexibly grabbed both of the Manananggal's wings and landed at her back.

Like a rodeo, the naked girl rode against the Mananaggal's back while the latter struggled its way up again to avoid crashing with the added weight behind her.

Just when the fire bending girl was about to smack the Mananaggal with her green fire, the Manananggal's head suddenly rotated 180 degrees like a doll to face the riding girl at her back together with a menacing laugh!

"Kyaaaaaaheieheieheh!"
