Setting
The large lake is home of the fabled sea serpent, Leviathan. He resides at the Northernmost part of the lake in the cavern behind the waterfall. Many soldiers test their might on this worthy opponent, but not all live to tell the tale.
"Those are the ones after me." He told her,hurrying in the direction of the forest alongside her."Not a pleasant lot,I tell you."
Joseph merely nodded,plus walking into a thorny bush,then took his blade to slash some of the bush. Perhaps this'll come in use? He thought curiously,inserting it in his bag. Trotting over fallen branches,he noticed a dead animal laying torn on the ground."Beasts." Joseph whispered.
"Joseph, something is here, be careful, I feel uneasy about this..." As they continued walking through the eerie lake, a fell wind blew from behind them. "Shit..." Arianna said and shivered. "Why now?" She asked. "Please don't be real." The duo turned around and saw a moderate sized dragon.
(Imagine its roughly 7-8 feet tall, 1300-2000 pounds)
"Get ready Joseph." Arianna said and pulled out her battle staff and held it up. "This guy is going to stop us anyway possible. Best be ready for anything he may throw at us, I can try to examine its weakness, but I don't know if I will be successful." She said. A white aura was glowing, "Examine." She said and put her arms forward, both hands on the staff. Rings went around the dragon and disappeared after a few moments. "Its not too bulky, doesn't seem to have any weaknesses, not too much life either it seems. It seems to know some poison attacks, I can cure those with these antidotes, I don't have many though, so be careful." She said.

The dragon rose its arm and tried to slash Arianna, but her quick reaction allowed her to jump and avoid the attack, lucky for them the battlefield was a decent size for a battle, perhaps it would turn in their favor.
Arianna saw the large river, flowing quickly down the hill and raised her hand, she began to focus on the water and a small amount had flown to her hand into a large sphere, "Take this!" She said and launched the ball of water at the dragon's body, it was a direct hit, causing the dragon to stumble. It hissed at her and smirked.
The dragon tilted its head back and lowered it back down and exhaled a green wave of poison, Arianna wasn't fast enough to dodge the attack and sustained a little amount of damage, but was poisoned. "Dammit," she cursed. "This is just a minor set-back." She ran to the monster and clobbered it with her staff, the monster seemed to have been hurt more than she expected, it countered by slashing her with its claws. "Ouch, you'll pay for that!" She shouted and threw another sphere of water at it and ran back next ot Joseph. "He is quite a hard hitter, but that armor should help you out more than this garb. Watch out!" She said and pushed Joseph down and she fell too, avoiding a slash from the dragon. "You okay?"
Reaching around in his armor's small pockets and his bag,he found the thorns and laid them down by the rocks. "Let's hope they distract it."Joseph muttered,looking back at Arianna.Some of the wind kicked up,assaulting the trees as branches swayed dangerously,plus the huge dragon's tail hitting the rock he was hiding behind.
The mysterious girl in the rabbit pelt had made it too the Lake in a matter of minutes, which was really quick considering the distant from the entrance and to Bisga. "Dragon Slayer!" She said as she aimed her bow. The arrow traveled at an unseeable rate, hitting the dragon, nearly knocking it down. "Goodness, what a tyrant!" Pulling another arrow out of her quiver, cleverly disguised as a tail, she looked at the weak spot of the dragon, its upper abdomen. "Alright, let's play!" The girl remarked and fired another arrow at the dragon. She dashed over to Joseph, she had known where he was, obviously, she had some sort of tracking skill or something. "You, help her and get out, both of you, this dragon is WAY too much to handle for you, just go!" She said and fired a barrage of arrows. "You're mine!"
Raine looked around the area. "I am pretty sure we are where we are supposed to be, I mean, look at the water, it is a brilliant blue color." She looked at the water, her reflection was in the water, and she saw a shadow in the lake. "He's here!" She cried and backed away, falling on her back.
The giant serpent arose from the water with elegance. "Why do you come here? You seek my Dragon Shard, just like everyone else don't you?" He asked, his voice roaring through the forest. "If you want it, you must best me in battle, but I warn you, I will not hesitate to kill you if you fail to best me. En garde!"

The dragon nearly flew from his pond and began to lay in the patch of grass, roaring to start the battle.
Beatrix quickly drew out her sword and prepared for battle. "I will not lose here, neither will anyone else here, I shall see to it!"
She began to chant a spell, "Rejuvenating breeze, make life a little longer, Regen!" Green clover like auras surrounded everyone and began to restore little amounts of health into them. "Now let's have a little fun, Saint Saber!" Stabbing her sword into the ground a blinding white light emitted from all directions, hitting the serpent with some decent force. "Damn, this thing is strong."
Leviathan seemed to be unscathed from the attack and simply brushed it off, he lifted his head and began to charge an attack and then lowered it and shot a blast of water at Beatrix, but luckily was able to avoid the attack, only her left leg getting hit.
Phoenix starting conjuring symbols to summon his Elemental, Fenrir. Soon after, a portal opened up and the wolf stepped out and stood patiently at Phoenix's side. "Emerald Wind, go." He commanded, causing the wolf to howl at the sky, a green wind rippled through the area, slicing Leviathan. Fenrir then stepped back into his dimension.
Raine held her staff and looked around, everyone was fighting bravely, and she knew she could help. "Pay to Play!" Raine smiled as she threw her magical money into the sky, boosting everyone's fighting abilities. "Good luck everyone!"

"Hm, so that's all, okay. Enthunder on everyone!" She called out, enchanting everybody's weapons with electricity. "Lightning is its weakness, hit him with everything you got!" She ran up, dodging the blasts of water, and finally stabbing Leviathan with her rapier, in a quick four-hit jab with a following slash and kick, but Leviathan had swiped her with his tail, knocking Freija into a tree. She got up and continued to rush in and attack.
Leviathan looked at everyone attacking him. "Damn persistent, you are a challenge, I will have to step it up!" He spun around and summoned a large wave to crash at everyone, dealing some hefty damage to the warriors.
"Everyone, regroup!" Roxanna called, summoning forth a Green Chocobo, she mounted it and held up her hand. "Replenishment!" The chocobo happily warked and created a field of green auras to heal the wounds of everyone, but not a lot, but it was helping. "Good boy." She said, she then threw her boomerang chakram, the enchanted weapon did some nice damage to the monster.
Apollo had sang his Mana Paean, boosting the power of magic, causing spells to damage more, and healing power to increase. Pulling an arrow from his quiver he carefully aimed, the electrified arrow at the torso of the serpent and fired the arrow, scoring a direct hit on Leviathan, the monster also scored a direct hit on Apollo with an Aqua Ball spell. "Damn it, that hurt, he said, getting up and firing another arrow.
Reagan jumped in the air and crashed down on Leviathan dealing heavy damage on it, pulling her spear out, she jumped off the creature, she saw the large amount of blood that gushed from its wound. "That seemed to work, time for another try." Leviathan tried to cut her jumping off by blasting another Geyser spell at her, but her incredible jumping skills were too fast for it to hit. Another successful jump had really hurt the monster, causing him to heal himself a bit.
It was time for Arekkusu to shine, after healing the wounds he conjured up a large sphere of electricity and flung it at Leviathan, the mass amount of lightning hitting him, caused him to stagger and fall over a bit, but he recovered very fast. A large Aqua Ball hit Arekkusu and sent him backwards really far, the poor little Moogle had never been hit by so much force, but surprisingly, his little heart wouldn't settle until he won and fired up another Spark to hit Leviathan.
While walking through the lake, Arianna heard the sound of battle, she looked up and saw a group of people fighting the large serpent. "My god, they are challenging that thing, are they crazy!? I should go help them, I can't watch this." She said and dashed towards the battle site.
"They are much stronger than I anticipated." Leviathan said aloud. "But can they withstand this?" He summoned up a larger wave and crashed it down the group, heavily damaging them.
"Regen!" Beatrix said, bestowing the boon to the party and allowing them to recover their lost health over time to help compensate for healing. "Saint Saber!"
Phoenix had no time to conjure Fenrir, his only bet was to cast Vortex, it wouldn't take long. "Vortex." The Evoker shouted, calling forth a devastating vortex to clash with Leviathan. "This thing can really take a beating for sure."
Raine saw everyone valiantly fighting, "Alright, let's see how much more I can do." She said and ran up to the monster and swung her staff with as much force as she could muster, and clobbered the creature, the electrifying end of the staff caused extra damage, staggering Leviathan again, opting Raine for another hit, which she swiftly took, targeting a wing on Leviathan and bashing it with her staff.
Arianna finally got to the battlefield and saw everyone valiantly fighting. "Wow, they are quite a strong bunch, I will help anyway, they all seem wounded." She said and ran over to Reagan was being treated by Arekkusu. "Need a hand?" Arianna asked.
Reagan looked up and Arekkusu followed. "Yes, who are you?" Reagan then held her leg, which was badly cut, Arekkusu trying his hardest to heal the wound. "Can you provide medic service?"
"Yes, let's try a little magic." Arianna smiled and cast Heal on Reagan, helping her cut recover faster. "I can try and use a Terrain skill, Sun Bath!" She said, raising her arm high. The sun shined brightly through the trees and cured Reagan's cut instantly. "How is that?"
"Thankupo." Arekkusu said and began to help Roxanna with her Green Chocobo, who was also healing Apollo.
Beatrix saw the girl. "That Onion Knight girl again... Hilda is her name I think. Why is she helping us?" She mumbled under her breath as she saw Hilda fighting alongside the group. "Thanks for the help!" She said, thanking Hilda and looked back and smiled, her face full of determination to beat this thing. Beatrix readied her sword and slashed the monster's scales, then casting another Saint Saber spell at the monster. It hissed in pain, it seemed to be nearly dead, but it was healing itself again.
Pulling out her Kotetsu blade, Hilda held it up with both hands and focused her power on the blade. "Protect these people." Hilda shouted. A blue aura emitted the blade, bestowing Shell and Veil to everyone close by her. "There, this should help in our favor."
Leviathan swiped at Hilda with his tail, but her surprising ability with poles allowed her to absorb the attack, being pushed back about seven feet. "Not so fast." Spinning the pole, she thrusted the pole into Leviathan's body, dealing some nice damage.

Phoenix had been chanting his spell for Fenrir to appear and a few moments later was successful. The majestic wolf sat next to Phoenix, awaiting command. "Alright, you know what to do, Emerald Wind!" Phoenix said, pointing at Leviathan. Fenrir howled, the wind slicing at Leviathan like blades. Phoenix had charged up Vortex and used it on Leviathan to accompany the power of Fenrir's wind magic.
Raine threw more money in the air, "Pay to Play." She said, boosting everyone's power once again. "C'mon everyone, we are soo close!" She said, dodging a blast of water at her by Leviathan. "That was close." She wheezed as she stood behind a large tree. "Sure is fast for a large fella."
Reagan leaped high in the air and came crashing down on Leviathan with intense force, causing him to bleed more. "Lancet!" She said, punching the monster and draining some life and restoring hers. "Eyahh!" She screamed as she stabbed Leviathan with her spear. "Gahh, just go down already!"
Apollo stood back, singing his Mana Paean and Vitality Aria songs to boost magic power and restore health to everyone. "Let's finish this thing already!" He said, firing an electric arrow at his cheek. This made Leviathan shriek and summon another wave to crash on the group, knocking Apollo into the waterfall below.
"Apollo!" Reagan said and quickly jumped to the lower part of the waterfall and saw Apollo there, he was alive and breathing, but heavily injured. "Take this herb." Apollo took the herb from Reagan. "I am heading back now, want me to carry you back?"
"No, I am fine, I can make it back myself, thank you." Apollo smiled, relieved of some of his pain. "Alright, let's go kick some serpent ass!" He said and quickly jumped out of the water and ran back up to the battle site. Reagan jumped up and crashed down on Leviathan. "Ultima Arrow!" Apollo cried out, firing seven white arrows encircled in magical energy. The arrows rained down on the monster, inflicting massive damage on it, Leviathan roaring.
Roxanna rode around on her Green Chocobo, "Replenishment!" The aura had healed the group a lot thanks to Mana Paean's power. "Good boy, let's go take him down!" Roxanna launched her chakram at the serpent, slicing around his wings. "Score, take me over here." She said and scored another hit on his tail.
Arianna continued support by healing. "Wind Slash!" She said, channeling the breeze through the area to collect and attack Leviathan, a successful spell at that. "Sun Bath, time to heal."
Arekkusu kept on conjuring his Spark spell to hit Leviathan, dealing a majority of the damage. "Sparkupo!" He giggled as he made himself laugh while casting a spell. The yellow sphere of lightning hit Leviathan with a mighty blow, damaging him. "Yay, Kupo!" He cheered and danced, his dancing actually dodging a blast of water aimed at him.
Leviathan was nearly defeated, he had lost a lot of life, but he kept going, he wasn't going to give up until he died or the group did.

Watching the others give everything they got he notice one jump. He jump up to match their height and focused his attack to strike simultaneously. "Almost got him!" He struck him 3 times and braced for an attack.
"Well done humans and moogle. You've bested me, so I have no choice but to give me my Dragon Shard." Leviathan said and focused all of his energy and transformed into a crystal shard.
Reagan had walked over and picked up the shard. "Water Shard, Leviathan." She then put the shard in his bag with the other shards. "We beat him, I can't believe it."
"You got that right, we should head onwards to Shear, it is closer then Bisga is, let's head there." Arianna said. "By the way, I am Arianna, a Geomancer from Shear." She smiled and greeted everyone. "Shall we be heading on?"
Freija nodded. "I suppose we should, we all deserve a rest." The group then started following Arianna on the path to Shear.
By night the group had reached the port city of Shear.
