Collin took action against this wood elf in front of him using his head to smash against that guy's face causing him to fall back to the ground.
"How dare you, I will make you pay for that."
The other wood elf male drew out his sword and charged at Collin who was welcoming the attack coming.
Quickly right as this male wood elf was at a close distance as the sword in his hand thrust at him.
Collin took one step to the side grabbing that same arm holding the sword and using forces to throw this guy against a tree.
Once the male wood elf's back hits the tree there wasn't time to react when an elbow came crashing into the face.
After that one was knocked out Collin aimed back at the other who was working hard to get back thanks to that headbutt.
The same happened to that guy only receiving a strong kick to the face taking him out as well.
"You shouldn't have done that, surely they will report this to the queen and you will be made an enemy to us for now on."
"If I didn't then I would have been the one harmed instead of these two. Besides, what are you going to do now let the boy die or live by giving him to me."
Collin now faces Utebarr holding Ethons in his arms still the elf boy was barely alive yet to be taken by death.
He saw him grab a hold of the arrow in the boy of Ethons and carefully remove it from him.
Afterward, Utebarr rises, walking toward Collin, passing his son to him.
"You're doing the right thing here."
"Please just take him as far and away from here so my son can live safely."
"Should I do the same to you as I did with them, so they can think you put up a fight to stop me?"
"No I will not hide, they know the truth from me and I wait for whatever to be done with me."
Collin walks past Utebarr with quite the respect he has for this elf man willing to face whatever punishment.
"Before I leave you should know that there is a hunter, one whose job is to hunt down dragons. This person was wounded heavily yet will heal in time returning to this place searching for the target no doubt wanting answers from your people about where it could be."
"Is that how it happened that my son got himself in between a situation like that."
"Who knows how it came to happen there is no way for this to change. Anyways, do you have any last words you want to say to your son?"
Collin turns around for Utebarr to look at Ethons one more time.
He slowly walks up to place a hand on the boy's chest feeling the heart inside beating slowly.
Utebarr then spoke in their elvish language that Collin couldn't understand.
When done he took a few steps nodding at the man as a sign that it was time to go now.
Two wings were familiar with that of a reptile pop from out Collin's back immediately starting to swing bringing him up off the ground.
Utebarr watches as the man flew up into the air until flying away to no longer be seen.
"Live to the fullest with this new life of your son."

《10 years later》
Somewhere in far open land, two hooded strangers find themselves to be surrounded by a small army of undead skeletons at the time of night.
"Well look to me we have come into quite a situation here with all the skeletons surrounding us. I have never encountered this many before have you."
"Stand your ground and keep a watchful eye on your opponents in front of you Ethons. Undead skeletons are ones you don't take lightly and no, not this many means this guy belongs to a battlefield."
Pointing out that these skeletons had worn beaten armor covering parts of their bodies given that some had weapons or arrows stuck into them.
The weapons this undead had in hand were mostly swords, shields, spears, and any other weapon that was carried in their boney hands.
"I know with all that you've been teaching me, Collin, I am not going to do anything foolish at this moment."
Ethons removes two swords attached to his back ready while Collin takes out his own.
Both kept an eye on them as one of these skeletons let out a screeching cry then all charged at the two of them.
"Here they come!."
Ethons and Collin branch for the impact of the skeletons that came at them and engaged in combat with each other.
One of the undead skeletons to attack Ethon uses its sword to slash downwards.
He dodges it moving to the side then responds with his attack swinging the sword sideways through the skeleton's neck removing the head from the body.
That was one done, but still more to deal with as another appears to take its turn at striking.
Uses his sword doing quick swings at Ethons as he quickly moves at their range.
Yet one of those swings manages to make contact with his arm creating a cut that bleeds.
It hurt for a bit then ignored as Ethons attacked back only to have it block from the skeleton shield in its hand.
Another one joins this fight, thrusting its spear to pierce the back of Ethons.
What the spear made way into was the comrade of the other skeleton going through the bony chest.
A spin kick was thrown to knock off the head of that skeleton holding the spear as both fell to the ground at the same time.
"Collin, I just took down 3 skeletons on my own. How about you."
Ethons took the chance to see how well the man was doing witnessing him holding one of those undead skeletons into the air by his sword.
It was thrown against two more as they crumbled to the ground.
"I am doing fine, but don't let your guard down around them."
Just after that was said a skeleton jumped onto Collin at the time.
Stabbing this man with a dagger that went into his shoulder making him cry out from the pain.
He pays that thing back using a free hand to grab its face and using his strength to rip the head off and throw it away.
"Fuck, I hate these undead types."
"Are you alright?"
"No need to worry I am still alive my friend."
Collin takes the dagger out of his shoulder holding onto it to use in this battle.
Ethons turned back to his side of the fight knowing that the man was fine, but a second later the arrow flying past his face taking the hood down to let free that long golden hair would have entered it instead.
"Holy shit that was close."
He was shocked to live through that and see the ones responsible for almost taking his life were skeleton archers.
Ethons got upset that at the moment he put one of his swords back to use that same hand where the fire appeared on it.
"You may have arrows to shoot at a distance, but I got fire to burn your bones to dust."
Ethons has conjured up a fire upon his free hand ready to be used and burned whatever it touches.The skeleton archers fire their arrows at him and they miss their target given it was going to stay in place to take it.Rolling to the side for a second then focusing to cast the fire sending to burn these undead bones to ash as they crumble to the ground."Well, I am getting better and better at controlling the flames."Ethons kept on with the fight with the skeletons and Collin did the same also using fire as well to burn down a few of these guys.The fight seems to be close to their victory as there not many of the undead skeletons remained around much longer as their number has decreased greatly.Yet something appears on the fighting battlefield and it swings at Ethons sending him flying past Collin who was surprised to see him rolling around for a bit until stopping.The man looked back to see what could have done that and he couldn't believe his own eyes.There is an undead skeleto
Ethons was curious about the skeletons they had just battled against."The answer to that question is pretty simple to how they came back on their own. They are restless and haven't not the prepared place to be buried and so rise like that of a vengeful spirit coming back to wreak havoc on the living.""Could this happen often, Collin?""Sometimes here and there at certain places in this world. Yet problems like this are always taken care of.""By who." Ethons and Collin walk with each forward since there wasn't a point to hang around broken and beaten undead skeletons."Well, adventures of course they take on simple quests like this for money.""Adventures huh Collin why didn't you become one. I bet you would have made quite the money with your skills.""It's not a thing for me. I am someone who likes to just travel around the world Ethons."Ethons does wonder about the adventurer job should it be something he could take up.There is the problem of him being a cursed Dragonborn which
Trapped inside the tavern because of the two dragon hunters that entered it and began to celebrate their kill of a dragon.Collin and Ethons have to play along until there is an opening to take."How long should we stay here until those 2 guys leave or are they distracted to notice us leaving the place?""We just stay as we are for a time till it best to"Alright, hopefully, those guys are too busy to notice us over here."Right at that moment the same tavern maid comes back placing their food along with another cup of drinks."Here's your food you two, oh I see you haven’t finished with your drinks would the both of you like me to take these back then.""No it's fine you can leave them.""Of course who would pass up free drinks when someone else is paying for it."The tavern maid takes a glance at the dragon hunters and then back at Ethons."You know those dragon hunter guys aren't too bad looking, but you still beat them by looks.""Well thank you for those kind words and I must say
"I do not understand why you must put yourself in doing this leaving home to find him.""Because it was the right thing to do, mother, what happened to him wasn't his fault.""No one has ever said that, but there was no risk of allowing that young boy to stay. The nature of a cursed dragon is unstable that no one could foresee when that madness would be unleashed.""It doesn't matter what you say now, mother. I am not going to stop what I have been planning these past 10 years."Location of the wood elf queen throne where only two wood elves are there.One is the queen sitting on the throne and the other is Naruth, daughter of the queen.The two have entered into a conversation that has been discussed over time in the ten years gone by.This comes to happen again one more time only because Naruth is leaving on this day.On a day like this, her mother is trying to talk the young girl into not leaving to find Ethons.The queen holds no ill feelings for that elf boy and would love nothin
Naruth takes a few steps forward getting a little closer as it was asked by Adraah this wood elf woman standing up on the bed she was in.They haven’t had many chances in seeing each other through the passing years, meaning because of the things Adraah had to suffer with the loss of her son and husband. “So tell me Naruth what brings you to see me, not that I am not happy about this meeting.”“I came to tell you that I will be leaving home.”“Oh, why is that dear.”“It to find Ethons and bring him back home.”Hearing her boy's name causes a little pain to this wood elf woman's heart along with almost shedding a tear.“I see and you are completely set on doing this going against your mother who no doubt wasn’t pleased with the idea.”“I am as if it wasn't right to what happened to Ethons and that of your….”Naruth stops herself before saying another word that could cause further unnecessary pain. “It's fine my husband chose at the time to accept the outcome of not doing what our quee
Naruth couldn’t believe who else was here at this spot looking with her own eyes from a distance away a young grown green Orc female stood.One side of the head is shaved off and the other is still filled with the night-color hair hanging by the side.There are two small Turks each at the side of the mouth that wouldn’t be too hard to miss and the eyes are black.She was covered by a well-crafted cloth that was over the top, Botham's waist, and the feet as it was made no doubt from animal hide. "What are you doing here, you have no right to be at this spot.”“What are you talking about, I have every right to be here just as you don’t be an elf-like you remember, I was there as well when little.”“Yes it was something, I thought to forget long ago, and now that a green skin like yourself has brought it, forgetting it again isn’t going to be easy to do.”“Still got a problem with me after all these years, what is it going to take for you to like me?”The female Orc sighs and then tak
Ethons has now entered into a situation with three guys bothering a girl on the road by punching one of them in the face to give aid to the girl."Hey! Man are you alright.""What's wrong with you aren't elves like yourself, not violence with others."As one of the other guys said to him while the one he punched in the first was getting help to stand back up.Ethons takes out an apple at a time taking a nice bite of it.Not caring to self explain to them his action and just waiting for what to about to occur soon."Fucking shit you attack me like wild half-elf for that I am going to make you pay for that mistake."The same guy he harmed took out a normal plain dagger to use against him right away.That girl there saw it getting scared and worried for the elf's safety which is in danger now with a weapon out."Are you sure you want to do that? It's not going to end well for you.""Don't act big like you're nothing afraid of the dagger in my hand. "Go ahead and try it then, I am just g
Upon walking together Ethons and the human girl Corina arrived at the front gate of the town of Lindow.There was a single guard there standing at the front gate doing his job."Hold it right there you two, I would like to ask what your business is in our town of Lindow.""Oh, we're here to join the adventure guide, sir."Corina was the one to be first in speaking to the guard.The guard didn't say anything while taking a good look at the human female and the male elf standing side by side."The adventuring guild, I see, is a brave job to take on. Well if that is what you two are going in town for then please enter and welcome to Lindow."The guard stepped to the side and allowed the two of them to enter the town as they did.When inside the number of people moving about the streets could be seen with their eyes because of the different other races among the crowd."Should we ask a local here to give us directions to the guild where the adventure goes?""I think that it would be a goo
Bernard plays off to being hurt by mayor Greg's words, but he and even the assistant Catalina buy it not for a one-second look at him as if he was a foolish jester trying to play off a bad joke told at the time.“Alright, fine guess acting is also something I can not do well at either, but anyway Greg let's not talk about it here just let it go and trust me.”“Bernard now isn’t the right or even a good time to start playing games here with me. A serious matter we are talking about and I don’t like to be kept in the dark on what you're trying to hide from me.” Gerg says as he gets a mean look on his face telling that he is serious. “It seems there is no point in continuing your bad acting, sir. I think to be best we are discussing this full truth and no games or lies are understood.” Catalina voices her as well.This shows that Bernard was out to match as there were two against one at the time which he had no interest in fighting against. “ Fine, then what do you want to know, Greg.”
As the demi-human Neol was about to snake his way away from the three after all that happened. He sees hanging around them could be not good for him given what this person does for a living.“You best keep what you say to yourself to understand.” The dwarf Duka said to him as she could tell of his movements away from them.“But of course, it is the least thing for me to start trouble for too.” Neol plays it off showing her a smile.*scoff* Duka didn’t believe it, but won’t push any further being that there is something far more important to deal with someone like him.“Alright, then you all take care,” Neol says as his steps go faster and it is soon seen him getting completely away from them.Now just Ethons, Corina, and Duka who each won’t or can’t say a word to each other. After seconds the dwarf was the one to start moving forward and at the same time spoke to the other two. “Let go we got a place to be that will do for us to have this talk at.”****************《Eiru tavern》The d
Corina close to death opened her eyes to see the mouth of the dragon open wide pausing right there before closing onto the girl's body. She took deep breaths in her state of great relief to be alive, taking the chance at stepping back a few steps to get away from the mouth, being that the creature could still close it at any moment.Then the dragon resumed moving again pulling back the head as it began to look upward to the sky where at that moment a roar shook the earth and attacked the ear of those in the area.They come to witness something strange happening to the dragon as its whole body went up in flames and they can feel the heat blazing at them that any closer anyone could get burned by the touch. When the flames blew away and whatever was left to be Ethons the elf lay on the ground in the very same spot as the dragon. He took not long in awakening, opening his eyes slowly and getting up at the same time.“Look like we did it to bring it back under control.”Ethons says to
Ethons says judging from his tone he wasn’t in a happy mood about finally hearing the dragon's voice again more so to see with his two eyes again as well when the creature comes down leading on the same rock he is on.Powerful wind and dust blew against the elf who had to endure it for about seconds till it came to be over.“You shouldn't even be here Ethons we are not supposed to be meeting like this as I never wanted it to happen.” “Well that hurts to hear that from you and here I am only wanting to talk with you again after all these 10 Mordos. There is much to discuss that needs to be answered.”“You must understand this shouldn’t have ever happened, our souls must have never come to be one together.” Ethons didn’t like to hear this from the dragon. It hurts that he feels regret about saving his life by doing that ritual to do so. “Look what is done, we can't do anything about it, sorry that you feel that way about it, but let's just move on from it.”“You don’t get it, the b
It was impressive for the guild master to feel such pain at this level again after such a long time. In a sense, Bernard was starting to enjoy the sensation of making him alive again in the mindset of a battle. "I must thank you for bringing back such a feeling to me, I have been out of the game of fighting with such a dangerous opponent again. I honestly can’t remember the last one, I face how sad that is to be.” Bernard uses the right hand placing it over the wound where the light shines from the palm of that hand showing the wound beginning to heal within short seconds. The same can be said for the dragon given that a creature such as this has the high value of healing of its own. This makes Dragons difficult to slay, more so to wound one greatly as that can not be done without a legendary weapon or a very powerful spell that matters. “There that has been taken care of now guess we can resume back into the fight don’t you agree.” A roar was given as the answer for him to hear
Bernard began to cast a spell to use against the dragon in front of him, one that he plans not to pick to do the most harmful damage on this creature as it surely will not hold back either.First, he plans to cast a spell that will hold the enemy in place to buy time for him and then enhance himself can’t just fight on this way for long going to need buffs on this fight.“Ethereal Ice Chain” Ice shot out of Bernard had soon formed into chains that grabbed and warped around the large body of the dragon.Sadly doing this will not take effect for long against a dragon being a creature that has a high-level resistance to magic and this will come to a short end. “Ogres' Courage.” That is what the guild master cast as the feeling of courage like an Ogre feeling brave like never before starting to care not of who is being faced at this moment.Now at the time, the ice chains break by the forces of the dragon proving how strong these creatures are among those that can resist magic.The guild
Neol the were-cat demi-human voices his worry and concern after getting the feeling of that earthquake shaking violently."I don't know about you two, But I think it a stupid idea to keep going in this direction. I mean whatever it over there should be the very thing to stand away from.""Who the hell are ya again."Duka said while getting back onto her two feet turning around to face Neol."You gotta be joking, you ask that now after leaving that dungeon and running for this long.""Just tell me ya name don't need to hear you bitching at me.""It's Neol if you really must know.""Neol you say you feel like, I have heard of that name before and that there was a rumor about something someone like yourself has done."When Duka said that it began to worry the demi-human Neol as he didn't like"Are you two alright not hurt are you.""Relax Corina, no need to worry if no one has come to be harmed just lose our footing."Neol let out a sigh of relief witnessing the dwarf girl's attention mo
The guild master put out a hand to the side open as something quickly appeared, a weapon to be that of a lance which got grabbed right away into that same hand. “Alright old friend, it seems you are going to be used again. Dragonquaker has been a time since you had a great fight and kill at that.” Those adventurers there were amazed at the Lace the guild master had summoned to his side. There have been stories that he had collated powerful legendary weapons from the past at the time the guild master was once an adventurer like them.None at the guild ever had the chance to witness one of those legendary ever since Bernard became guild master. There was never a reason to use his legendary weapons again once taking up the job. Today one of those gets to live that feeling of action again after being put away for a long time. “As I said before all of you stay out of this any of you who get in the way will feel my wrath.” His words were serious, being that this is a chance for Bernard
The masked stranger wasn't gone and kept a distance that allowed this person to have a good view of the fight that was playing out this far having to consider allowing them to battle it. This would be a lot of data to take in need for the creation plan to be a clone of the thing if made into complete perfection. Watching from the very beginning the group that appears from nowhere engaged in a fight with the elf in his interesting transformation. What makes the fight more amazing is to keep one's eyes removed from it as the elf goes into another transformation, one that becomes that of a dragon something that can’t easily be done unless they are one from the beginning. “I must take in everything, nothing is to be missed at all.” The masked stranger said alone with no other living being to hear standing there silent to see what is to come out in the next act of the fight. This sudden change of dragone being in front of the adventure group's eyes wasn’t something they thou
