CHAPTER 15: RHYS
(Before the quake..)
After leaving the two behind, I decided to investigate more. I was lucky and unlucky at the same time, to take a glimpse of the situation when I visited Leonor’s grave just to find something.
A flying black dragon passed nearby my location. I am not interested actually, not until I recognized that curly blond hair of hers dancing with the icy wind on top of that dragon. I then followed their trail by keeping my eyes on it until I reached this place. I also managed to leave traces behind, hoping someone would even come there to look for it.
I wonder if the dragon that fought Leonor is in this same group.
Astrays huh, I wonder.
Astrays are old enemies lurking around but I haven’t fought one though, since the other generals and Harith are mostly obliged to those kinds of works.
Why did they suddenly suspect the Astrays? Did they find that piece of old paper?
There is no dou

My eyes broaden, as the footsteps had ceased. With the help of the moon, for a moment, I had forgotten what pain feels like when my entire body was overridden by shock for there in front of me,---Is a demon.He was just like that green-haired demon, but he owned a pair of reddish-black bat-like wings. His pupils were like of the dragons’, black oval pupils yet owned a pair of red iris.An odd set of horns, he has, on top of his black long hair; the right one was cut off short, but the other one seemed to be in a good shape.His upper clothing was stripped off, showing off his chest and torso covered with lopsided red small scales. His hands to his fists, it was concealed with moderate flakes, only to appear like an armored gauntlet. Moreover, on his face, the left side was almost covered with nothing but scales.Just what the hell is he?“I never thought you could push me to the point where I will need to equip,” He coldly
THE HUNT: Bound to the sky CHAPTER 17: RYU
I am a hunter.I hunt both people and dragons for money and leverage, and I do it without pleasure. Those requests and offers are mostly consisting of assassinating humans, and they are as well mainly hailed from another human being.How disheartening, was it not?Ever since dragons were not considered a threat anymore, greed besieged unity and power overrule virtue. The human world had been divided ever since or maybe even longer than that. Dragons had become their tool in keeping the line drawn on their ground, to remind other people of their rank or status.“I am more divine,” –that is what I decipher on that scene.I was raised in a felonious world, and in there everything is a game. As a creature of unique identity, there is a need for me to conceal and adapt. My world revolves around ‘hunting and survival’ without exploiting my ‘other side’.I am able to live within my own virtue while retainin

It must have been hours ever since that incident and I am glad everything went well in just one night.Rhys’s wounds had been treated, but she is still unconscious. Hera is still coping with her terrible experience, and they chain the one and only enemy at the prison. The King ordered a search at the enemy’s headquarters and Harith led the investigation.Yeah, it is that prince who is leading it.I judiciously thought as I silently stared at the window, silently sitting on my office table. The scene was giving off midday sighs. I am quite tired, I haven’t got a good night sleep ever since yesterday.It's been bugging me out for hours already, why ‘his companions ran off and as to why he stayed. It is too strange to let it aside, knowing that he surrendered without a fight.How did they enter the castle unnoticed, anyway?I wonder if Harith already questioned him.His figure back t

Damn that dragon mage and damn my ignorance. He is too smart for me to even manipulate. If I won’t take her back, the Underworld’s most notorious hunters and mercenaries will surely come for her, but that Zephyr, he does not care a bit.I call him Zephyr; he is the wind mage, after all.Even though I have nothing to do with her, but damn, I hate this wandering mind of mine. If I can’t get a good talk with him, I will take a bet on her.--After all, we are just the same.“Pathetic,” She then spoke up with that same cold voice of hers, “How come someone as pitiful as you isn’t even dead yet or should I say---” She paused, only to make me hear her footsteps getting louder as she advances.As I stared at the mossy stone floor, her figure covered the torchlight, casting out her shadow upon my worn-out body. Her footsteps ceased as she squatted down in front of me.“How come you even exist?&rdq

RHYS's POVMany people will admit that selfishness is the cause of all the miseries in this world, but they fall under the demoralizing belief that it is somebody else’s selfishness and not their own.They are worse than scums.I unpleasantly thought. As I stood by the bridge going to the grand hall. Hera goes by, I watched her bravely enter the dungeon with bandages and medicine.Crossing the line or just pure kindness, I wonder which is which.As soon as she entered, I strolled away, going home to take a rest.The military huh, I bet that snake cannot hide its tail much longer since his or her plan was a crappy failure. That is where people usually act rashly, and I will use that to my advantage.As I took a pace home, my mind wandered about yesterday. So what happened actually, how come I am still alive, and with no burns?Bas

:RHYS's POVBefore we knew it, specks of dusts were now harshly flying in our surroundings, and the horses whined from the unforeseen occurrence.With the light of the upcoming dawn, I didn’t even need to wait for the flying dust to subside just to see what’s in front of me.Remembering how unpleasant was the blast whenever they transform, I managed to get away in time.This is the first time I got to see her dragon form, and the scene only made the insides of me be filled with a familiar emotion, wrath.A thirteen-meter tall or less average red dragon, she held a resemblance to the dragon that opposed me and Leonor back then. It must have been hard for you, Dawn, to play the role of a pitiful swindler.Well, never thought words can easily sway her. She reacted from information Henry apprised earlier. Her actions will make more sense if I were to conclude that she’s connec

THEON’s POVNews broke and spread like wildfire, of how the slayer fought and killed a traitor. Some humans pleasantly chatter about it while dragons, like they always do. They kept their mouth shut and go with the flow, solely waiting for the day vengeance is served.Rhys, why is death so necessary to you? Why did you do it, then lock yourself in your mansion for the entire day? Was it to hint how guilty you are about it?Just why does she even hate us that much?I slowly strolled towards where they said the traitorous dragon was slain yesterday. Even though I am a bit far away, I could see a small memorial. They left one in honor of her great deeds as a military dragon before she even became a turncoat.There isn’t even one for a former dragon who served the Royals like Cart Leonor. Maybe his connection with the late Crown Prince made him seemed worthless for even a ‘stone’.

:THEON’s POVThe day of our departure had come, and it has been an hour ever since we left the castle. At the Grand Hall, the royal twins, Hera and Harith, bid their goodbyes to me. Princess Hera only blabbered about her best wishes for us while Prince Harith, he is quite thankful his dream came true.Nah, we’re still not married. If I remember it correctly, people call it ‘engagement’. I don’t think everything would end up in veils and rings. I will surely not let it happen.The king declared that he’ll be the one to schedule the wedding. I hope it would happen one hundred years from now.Our travel only consists of two normal wooden carriages with six sentinels on their horses. I wouldn’t want to attract bandits just by riding on a luxurious Berline wagon. Besides, it is nothing but the ride that we need and never for the sake of exalting power and status.I ma
