After parting ways with Zephyrus, Lyralei continued to train harder and harder. It wasn't before long that she was able to perfectly control her power. Now that she was stronger, Lyralei stopped using Zephyrus' blessings and decided to rely on just her own power. But even without the help of Zephyrus' Blessings, her power was already so strong that all of the opponents around there proved to be too easy for her, and she felt that she couldn't improve like that. She wanted challenges, she wanted to face a strong opponent who could push her higher.
She decided to head deeper into the ancient jungle, where all sorts of strong creatures and monsters reside. There, she encountered an unusual creature: an Azure Dragon. Dragons are the most beautiful, the strongest and the most dangerous creatures, and it is even more so for an Azure Dragon. Azure Dragons were said to be the guardians of an extremely strong artifact, and through thousands and thousands of years of guarding the artifact, its immense power was absorbed by the Azure Dragons, turning their icy cold breath even more deadly. Encountering one is already unusual, it was even more so to encounter an Azure Dragon in the middle of the ancient jungle, since those dragons were supposed to reside far in the North, where winter never ends. The presence of this dangerous dragon could bring about the destruction to the Yggdrasil tree, which would threatened the lives of all other creatures in the ancient jungle, but none of the creatures there has the strength or courage to stand up to such a danger. However, Lyralei wasn't afraid. To her, that was the perfect opportunity for her to test herself. The battle between her and the dragon lasted for many days until she was finally able to slay the creature.
As thanks, the spirits lived within the Yggdrasil harvested a flower of the Millenium Orchid, which lived on the Yggdrasil tree itself, and turned it into a bow suitable for Lyralei to replace her old broken one. The flower had been living for thousands of years, and it had stored within itself immense magical power through absorbing life force from Yggdrasil; and its beauty made all other creatures in the jungle green with envy.
Accepting the gifts of the spirits, Lyralei set out to find strong opponents again. This time, she decided she would head north to find out the reason why the Azure Dragon fled all the way there to the ancient jungle. The thought of finding a stronger opponent - one even stronger than the Azure Dragon that she defeated - excited her. Little did she know that she would encounter an unusual opponent in that cold and icy realm, who is even more deadly and colder than the harsh weather there itself...

The previous WR set that I made was terrible, so I tried to make a better one. This time the theme is Flower, Leaves, Spring and Growth. Since Flower is the main theme, this set has a strong use of pink color. I hope you guys like the pink as much as I do. As for Zephyrus' Flight, I hope that that set won't get accepted as it is. I will definitely work on that set again and improve it further.
