Unika lived a lonely life on the outskirts of Eternida, the capital of Drado. She was different from the other Ludrakas, both in appearance and ability. Unika was a steel dragon, with no recollection of her past or origins.

She spent her days in solitude, training herself to control the unknown powers within her. Her greatest fear was transforming into a dragon, a form that brought her both strength and uncertainty.

One day, a local Ludraka approached Unika's dwelling. He was a young forest dragon who had been brave enough to befriend her. His name was Reth.

"Unika, citizens are disappearing in Eternida," Reth informed, his voice filled with worry. "Some say they see black shadows and hear strange whispers on the nights of the disappearances."

Unika felt a chill run down her spine. She had experienced these shadows and whispers herself, but she had always dismissed them as nightmares. Now, it seemed they were real.

Unika knew she couldn't ignore this. She could sense the evil presence of the cursed dragons and knew that she had to face her fears to protect her people.

As night fell, Unika transformed into her dragon form. She felt the power surge within her, a mix of all magical elements. It scared her, but she also knew it was what made her unique.

Unika soared over Eternida, keeping a watchful eye over the city. From above, she saw a black shadow moving swiftly, disappearing into an alley. She followed it, her heart pounding in her chest.

The shadow led her to a cave on the outskirts of the city. Inside, she saw a horrifying sight. The missing Ludrakas were chained, their faces pale with fear. A cursed dragon named Surmad was their captor.

As Unika stepped forward to confront Surmad, he laughed. "You're just a steel dragon, an outcast. You can't stop me," he sneered. But Unika was undeterred.

As they clashed, Unika discovered that she could not only use all elemental magic but also black magic and death magic, the domain of the cursed dragons. She unleashed her newfound powers on Surmad.

Surmad was taken aback but fought back ferociously. The battle was intense, with sparks of magic flying everywhere. But Unika was relentless, determined to save her people.

After a lengthy battle, Unika managed to overpower Surmad. With a final blast of death magic, she defeated him, freeing the captured Ludrakas.

Exhausted but victorious, Unika returned to Eternida with the rescued Ludrakas. The city celebrated their return, and for the first time, Unika was hailed as a hero.

Although she had faced her fears and discovered her true power, Unika knew that her journey was far from over. The mystery of her birth still remained unsolved, and she knew she had to find the answers.

With Reth by her side, Unika vowed to continue her quest. She knew that there would be more challenges ahead, but she was ready. Unika was no longer an outcast, but a savior of Drado.

Even as the city celebrated and praised Unika for her bravery, she couldn't help but reflect on her journey. She had finally accepted her dragon form and embraced her unique powers.

Unika looked at her steel scales, gleaming in the moonlight. They were a symbol of her difference, but now she saw them as a sign of her strength. She was unique, and she was proud of it.

Unika's story spread across Drado, inspiring other Ludrakas to embrace their uniqueness. They realized that being different wasn't a curse, but a gift that could be used to protect and serve their people.

Unika's tale is a reminder that even in a world of dragons, it's the heart that truly defines a hero. And as long as she had her heart, Unika knew she could face any challenge that came her way.
