" Are you sure it was the Dragon Lord? "
" Very! I saw him with my own Dragon eyes. I can even swear it on my Dragon Core! "
He was the most worthless specimen of our Dragon race.
I would have preferred maintaining my distance from someone like him but one needed somebody to clean the dirty laundry.
This scoundrel that I befriended years ago in the outskirts was claiming to have access to our missing king.
Would it be delusional to believe him.
But statistically speaking, his news were not known to be unreliable.
Was it really a second chance from the heavens to correct our messed up mission?
" Stay put till I come back! "
I closed the door behind me and went straight inside my study.
This could very well be a trap. I needed to take my precautions. I could not go out of the palace or send for any help. Whatever decision I was to make was going to have to be by myself. And it had to be in the most unsuspicious manner possible.
I began flipping through the pages of my personal journal when suddenly his voice got be startled.
I was too engrossed in the intensity of the news that was in my hand. I had not even noticed his presence. My own teacher, mentor, the imperial doctor, Master even to the Dragon Lord.
" Ahem! " that was always his way of calling me whenever I got distracted.
" Looks like somebody got their hands full. What are you researching with us intensity and depth? "
I don't know why but his question made me snap my journey and tuck it behind my back. It was unnecessary and it definitely gave away my unholy intension. Or was it really unholy? Not just unconventional. An unconventional way of doing what needed to be done. Correct the wrongs that were creating chain reactions.
" Marcus? What is it? You know you can talk to me boy."
" Thank you but I am fine. I was just working on a medicine. It's results are so far embarrassing. So I do not wish to show it to you till I reach the finish.
If you don't mind, I would now excuse myself! "
and then I vanish from the spot even before he could say yes.
This made my urgency to get the unfinished job done multiply. No more suffering in hiding. No more lies. I wanted to live clear and free as well. I wanted my time of glory.
I needed to check whether or not what my worthless friend said was true. First hand.
I needed to go to the human world. Without being traced. I needed preparation for that.
I threw my worthless friend inside my infinity locker. You know, like the name suggests, it's a locker with unlimited space. He was protesting and complaining. But I would need his eye for the pin point location.
So I drugged him and tossed him inside. He would not make a noise till I needed him to.
I never understood why Master preferred or loved Draco so much. I was the one who hovered around him. I was the one who took care of all his physical needs even when he was in meditation. I was the one who cared for him with all my heart. I never ever flinched for a second to give my life up for his service. Yet he preferred Draco who would always talk back. And let me remind you, it has nothing to do with loyalty towards our kingdom. This relationship was such since he was running about undressed, in his diapers.
" Draco might be rude and insensible at times, but he got what others don't. He got foresight, vision and only he will be able to lead us Dragons back to the glory which we once had! "
This was my opportunity to show him how wrong he was. And I was going to accomplish this feat without any more help.
As I repeatedly checked and calculated all the probabilities, my mind came to the conclusion that if Draco was indeed in the human world, so would be his seed. The Dragon Prince.
I was going to go for the toddler first. With him gone, my mission would be half over. His death would make Draco more miserable than his own demise. With the toddler will go away his entire kingdom and everything for which he lived.
I needed this human tied with my Dragon friend. So I began by summoning him.
" What's this!What's this? What's going on? How am I moving without really moving. This was not our deal. You cannot do this to me. You know you will get in trouble with the Dragon Lord if I start complaining. "
So even the human knew about Draco.
" Tell me where his son is. Then I will let you go! "
" Son? Whose son? What son? "
" The Dragon Prince! The Son of the Dragon Lord! "
" He has a son? From the human? "
His answer made me puzzled. Was he keeping the mate instead of his wife? Was their relationship that serious? I thought he was just using the bitch. He never was into women. Not even his married other half.
Anyways that didn't matter to me. I knocked the link off.
Then plunged.
My plunge took me straight to the human world.
Because of the link I landed right beside where the human was standing.
" Holy F*cking Mother of Cow! What on earth! A dragon! In its true form! A dragon after the other. Mighty Dragons everywhere. My heart. My poor heart will explode if it's not content! "
What utter rubbish. I just had my claws on and my eyes glowed in the utter darkness. This was definitely not my beast form. My worthless friend had indeed dealt with someone completely like him.
I pushed him and treaded my own way. I needed to get to the prince before Draco was alerted. I needed to finish the job which his mother rendered incomplete.
