《5 months later》
Once Ethons and Naruth find their way back after parting ways with Glasha the Orc girl they come to meet while out in the forest he tells her that they meet again at the same spot as their last time. She happily agreed, given that the girl had taken a great liking toward the elf boy who in an amazing way somehow stood up bravely talking to the dragon into allowing him to enter its cave when he wanted to.
Yet when back home their disappearances haven’t gone unknown where Ethons father and Naruth's mother knew they weren't pleased with their children going far out of their own and received punishment for it.
Those next 5 months went by quite fast as Ethons never stopped to meet Glasha along with Naruth who still hung out with him during the months. He took chances every time with the Orc girl to know more about her people there was interest in their kind Ethons had.
Even then when meeting together they would also pay a visit to Mordos the dragon who gives Others permission to come to the cave whenever he wishes to and never mind when the girls were there. It was all fun for Ethons making two friends and learning much in this new life of his in this world.
During the nighttime, Ethons would sneak out of his home and go to Mordos cave given how much excitement it is to be friends with a dragon and how much knowledge he has about the world which could be good to learn from him.
Things went quite nicely and peacefully for a time until a certain event caused a big change for Ethons life because of his carelessness starting on one night as he always sneaked out and spent time with the Dragon.
“Ethons, I think it's time for you to go back home.”
“Aww Mordos come on, I'm having so much fun hanging out with you.”
Ethos said right he was laying on the dragon's back conformable as this is how close the two got over the passing months.
“I enjoy your company, surprising as it may be to me, but the sun will come to rise soon and your people will worry about you being gone.”
“Yeah you're right on that alright I go, but I will be back to see you again my friend.”
“I had already known that you are a boy as that is what you always like to do ever since I have allowed it.”
“Well, you can’t take it back.”
Ethons happily gets off the dragon Mordos back standing on his two legs to face him waving and saying goodbye. Afterward, the elf boy took his leave heading out of the cave and entered the nighttime outside of the forest which was quite beautiful to look upon.
When done doing that Ethons went in the direction leading back to his home at the same time not noticing there was another finger hiding away until he was gone for the person to show themselves.
“So this is the place you have been hiding all this time, Mordo's.”
This person began to walk toward the cave entering inside, but the sound of the footsteps was going to be easily heard by the dragon within who could tell the difference.
“Who dares think that they have the right to enter my home.”
“Ah, that hurts my feeling of you forgetting a dear old friend.”
“I have no friends.”
“Funny you should say that because it didn't look to be true that way when that elf kid left this cave.”
The person talking with the dragon Mordos finally came to stand before him to see what they look like. Someone he imminently remembers given what this person was wearing was something this dragon could never forget from the past.
“I see it now finally after all this time Eldon Rory Kane you have found me.”
“Look at that you remember my name, how nice, but I can’t take all the credit thanks to the elf. I found you much easier.”
“Did you…”
“Touch the boy, no there is nothing for me to gain for killing him as that isn’t my job it is killing your kind that is.”
Eldon took a few more steps forward at the same time Mordo's began to be on guard for the upcoming attack soon to happen.
“Then what is the point of talking any further when we both know what comes next out of this.”
“My thoughts exactly, Mordos let's get started and end this long-awaited war between us.”
Eldon reaches for his sword attached to his back, grabbing it and removing the weapon out for battle. When a minute of slices passed the two charged at each other as the fight started inside the cave.
“I don’t know why, but I keep getting this feeling that something bad is going on.”
Ethons haven’t gone far from the cave given this feeling came right after he left trying his best to put it aside. It kept coming back, getting stronger a little bit each time, so no longer thinking about ignoring this feeling, Ethons listened and went back to the cave.
Inside the cave again there was sound, this time he was hearing sounds that weren't good as it was coming from the dragon who seemed to be in pain.
“Is this all you got Mordos, I thought there was more than this from you after all these years?”
Ethons comes to witness the dragon Mordos heavily wounded bleeding badly from the fight yet standing strong on his four legs. He turns his attention to Eldon keeping guard with his sword covered in some of the dragon blood; the area around the two looks damaged from the fight.
What this man was wearing wasn’t normal, he was completely in armor that looked to be difficult to damage, but during the fight, it has taken quite a good amount.
“Why does it feel as if you do not put effort into this fight?”
“I have….. Been away from the world….. For so long fighting you again may as well be the end of my life.
“No! You don’t get to take this away from me Mordos, I spent years searching for you to pay a dragon-like you back because of everything that was done by you. I am going to make sure the death that I will give you will be long and suffering that it will never be forgotten.”
“Sadly to disappoint you, Eldon….. My death isn’t going to bring much joy to you no matter what you do to me.”
As the two were talking to each other Ethons hide himself thinking of something to do at this moment, but it has to be fast because the fight resumed continuing.
“Shit what to do, what to do.” Ethons repeats in his head.
He never thought this was ever going to happen or to find himself here where it was going on. Ethon wants to help yet there is nothing he can provide given this new body hasn’t fully developed or learned anything to use against the unknown intruder who is attacking Mordos.
Ethons brings his head to look back again to see the fight looking upon Eldon moving as someone with many expressions in dealing and killing dragons. Dodging the fire blast coming out of Mordos mouth that was aimed at him as the fire hits the ground and Eldon runs toward the creature who then uses his tail next to smack down upon him.
The man stopped right as the tail was coming close to hitting only that wasn’t to happen when Eldon used his sword right on time to slash a part of Mordos tail where blood spills all out to the ground or walls of the cave.
This being a chance to strike again Eldon uses his sword to slash across one of the Mordos legs near him causing the dragon to fall forward onto its body on the ground.
The sword was then stabbed into that giant body deep and good to leak out some blood.
“Yeah how this feels, Mordos not so good, I bet, but this isn’t going to compare to those you have slain in the past.”
“Ha…. I have felt a pain that was far worse than this….. Have you forgotten what was taken from me….. What your people did.”
“What we did was our job as dragon hunters, killing dragons that love nothing more than to burn down towns and feast upon those who can stand up against your kind.”
“Keep telling yourself that if it helps you sleep at night, no words that come out of that mouth are ever going to bring your peace or what is going to happen tonight.”
Eldon, annoyed by the dragon's words, grabbed his sword and started to twist the weapon stabbing into the body to make Mordos feel more pain. Right then the man felt a hard thing hit his head luckily thanks to the armor helmet he was wearing.
“What the hell was that?” Eldon said looking at a rock that was now on the ground before his feet.
He removes his attention away from that and the direction to where the rock was thrown finding the one who did it to be none other than Ethons the elf boy Eldon saw leaving out of this cave and now he is back in.
“Oh, shit now I've done it.”
Now no longer hiding Ethons is being stared at by Eldon the dragon hunter who was attacking Mordos at a time before him throwing a rock at the man's head.“Why are you back here little elf boy,” Eldon said, removing his sword out of Mordos body.“Ethons! Runaway from here and return to your people now.”Mordos does his best to warn the elf boy as he had heard him but hasn't moved from where he stands.“You should listen to the dragon elf. This place isn’t safe for you to be here in this cave,” Eldon tells him as he slowly walks up to Ethons.“No way, I am not going to leave my friend like this, why are you ever hurting him anyway.”“Why you asked, can't you see the elf, I am a hunter whose job is to hunt down dragons like that one and beside me and him we have a history with each other. Now I am going to tell you one more time get the fuck out of here before, I do something that can not be taken back.”Hearing the warning again Ethons look at the man then move his eyes to look at Mord
Ethons couldn’t believe that he was seeing Naruth and his father's face even more so to be alive again wondering how that is possible. That man's sword was deep into his chest no way he was going to live through a thing like that yet there was no more blood or the wound on his chest was nonexistent.He starts to bring himself up and his father quickly helps him to bring his upper body up, not yet ready for the boy to get up fully. “Slowly, son, carefully bring yourself up.” his father tells the boy.“What happened to you?” Naruth asked Ethons.Once asked that question it triggered him to start remembering about the hunter and Mordos which caused Ethons to worry. “Mordos, where is he and what about that guy, the one who was attacking him.”“Son, what are you talking about? There is no one else beside you alone here in this cave.”Hearing that Ethons looked around and noticed what was said was true he was the only one in this cave. That when he remembered about the small talk with
Naruth said to her mother knowing fully that it was a lie she was just told by the woman who brought this girl into this world.“Naruth please do not start this with me, I will not argue with my daughter at your age about this adult matter.”“Why not mom, I am without a doubt a child who couldn’t have such a conversation.”“I said this talk is not going to happen, do you hear me?”The queen tells the little girl with her tone to rise high a bit yet not much to be yelled at. Naruth and her mother go into a staring contest until she is the one to lose, running away with tears coming out of her eyes.She did not wish to see her daughter fall into such a state, but it was done and will take time before the two could speak with each other again. “I hope that you will be able to understand my little one.”*****************************《Utebarr and Adraah home》Returning home with his son Ethons who hasn’t awakened and when back Utebarr had to explain the cruel fate that their son has come
A stranger had made their way into the meeting that was going on between the queen and her people around the throne outside of the forest they live in.“Do tell me how you can help with what we are discussing without the knowledge of what it is about.”“I don’t need to be informed about it, given that I can sense when it happens I can feel it even more so since being here.”“I think it best now to explain who you are at this moment.”“Ah, you are correct on that, I should introduce myself to all of you.”The stranger grabbed the hood covering his face and pulled it down to show them his silky, wavy, royal purple hair is worn in a style that reminds you of a tangled bush.His eyes were droopy red and the type of body he had was a graceful build along with light-colored skin.“The names Collin Wyatt and I are what is known to be in this world a Dragonling, a being with the mix of a human and a dragon.”The reaction this man expected to see among the wood elves' faces was shock, but inst
Adraah watches as her loving husband made way to their son Ethons as the small boy still did not understand what is going on watching the way these two are acting and the feeling in the air that was going around in this room.“Mom, dad please tell me what is going on.”“Run! Ethons get out of here as fast as you can.”Adraah tells him as she throws herself at Utebarr grabbing hold of him tightly in place to prevent him from moving further toward the boy.“What are you doing stop it and let me go Adraah it has to be done.”“I won’t let you, Ethons please get away from here.”Ethons listens this time, getting out of the bed with his new clothes and running past both parents.“Ethons! No stay, don't go.”His father says to his son, but it was too late as he pushed the door open in a hurry and ignored his siblings as they tried to talk to him, but Ethons kept going, leaving his home.“Adraah that is enough.” Utebarr was finally able to get his wife off him, pushing her to the bed.“No! Ut
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
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
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
