Rose stepped out of the school gate dressed in a crisp white blouse and tailored jeans carrying a leather bag that slung over her shoulder having just completed her translation job.Her confident stride and the slight smile on her lips and refiected a job well done. One of the most difficult tasks a student could face in Draketown university was to face professor Layton Utah when it has to do with translation jobs but she was able to do it very well, so good that professor Layton nodded his head satisfactorily.Her eyes immediately locked unto Serpens who was sitting on his sleek Harley motorcycle. A smile escaped her lips as she crossed the road separating the school from where Serpens was seated with the other guys.As she reached Serpens, she placed a hand on his shoulders, her eyes locking through every other person's eyes. Her gaze shifted to Tiara's boyfriend Yul Brynner who was standing in front of Serpens, the other guys watching to see what was about to unfold.“Who the hell

Serpens and Rose arrived at his apartment, parking the Harley bike in front of the house. Rose was still reeling from the events that had happened earlier with Serpens and Tiara' boyfriend. She hadn't expected to see Serpens react that way The way he knocked down Yul effortlessly was still making her wonder where he learnt martial arts from.“Have you had martial arts lessons before?” She inquired, her curiosity piqued.Serpens's brow furrowed, “No.. not at all.” He replied. “Why'd you ask?” He pressed further.Rose shrugged, “Nothing..” she replied. “It’s just that, the way you knocked that guy out, only a true master in martial arts could do that.”“Really?” “Yes. My uncle is a martial artist. I learnt Judo and Taekwondo from him so I know a little about martial arts too.” Serpens remembered someone telling him that before. He could begin to see for himself that the dragonic power also enabled him with the skills of martial arts.“Who knows.., maybe I'm just naturally gifted in t

Inspector Lui waited patiently near the campus entrance of Draketown university watching students mill about between classes. Ever since his meeting with Xin, at the hospital, he had made up his mind to look for Serpens himself and to find out what he did to Xin in aiding her quick recovery from the accident.He spotted Serpens coming out of the gate walking with a female friend. The girl was Rose. The two of them were chatting animatedly as they walked out of the campus gate.Stepping forward, Inspector Lui called out, “Excuse me,” Looking at Serpens from a distance, he didn't look like someone who actually looked out of this world. Even at the accident scene, it hadn't occurred to him until recently when he started hearing rumors of extraterrestrial beings with special powers arriving at Drake town.Serpens and Rose turned around and saw him waving at them. Serpens immediately recognised him as one of the police officers that had come to the accident scene when old Xue's granddaug

Serpens couldn't hide the disappointment that etched on his face as he walked back home from class that evening. His whole day had been filled with series of disappointment. First it was his meeting with Mr Leonard where he ended up meeting Yul, unable to sell his highly priced Anrowana fish.Also, his meeting with Rose at the school's cafeteria didn't go as planned. Rose had called to inform him that she wouldn't be able to make it as she had an urgent meeting with one of her professors.The only good thing that happened to him that day was the fact that the old man who owned a small restaurant by the side of the campus had called him to help him fix the lightings in his restaurant and had given him a cheque of $2000. Even if the money was small compared to what he he could have earned if Yul hadn't turned out to be the investor who wanted the fish, he till appreciated the old man's gesture. Walking home that evening with the cheque tucked safely in his pocket, Serpens decided to p

Serpens watched Zorvath breathe out smoke, sending him back to the front of his house with Zorvath nowhere to be found. He heaved a sigh, contemplating on and on pondering over everything that Zorvath had told him.Walking back to his room, he just couldn't help but wonder what exactly the draconic gem was and why Doromu had fused with him of all the people it could fuse it with. He wondered why the said Doromu had never spoken to him once since it was a part of him already.As he stepped inside, the familiar surroundings of his room offered little comfort. He sat on the edge of his bed, lost in thought, and his gaze drifted to a framed photo on his nightstand—one of him and his sister with their grandmother.Memories flooded his mind, transporting him to the sunlit days spent at their grandmother's old house. He recalled the cozy evenings by the fireplace, where she would tell them fantastical tales of draconic creatures, mystical gems, and ancient abilities. She would often speak o
