-Break-Φ Using snowboost, I lunge at the old man and try to slash him, but when I get close, I am grabbed and thrown into a wall. Getting up, I move as fast as I can from wall to wall and try again, but almost as if he has rhythmically synched with my body, he parries my arm, then swings into my body and hits me in the stomach with his elbow, which blows me back.He keeps using my own momentum against me, and then he translates that force into rotational energy and blows it back at me.Trying to get up, I fall back down to my knees and spit up some blood.“Are you done?”“Not a chance, baldly,” I say, getting up. All I can do is keep at him.As I constantly press my attack, the old man says, “You’re eyes are always watching my every move, and your focus as you strike your target is unmatched, not to mention the unnatural senses that allow you to react to my every move, I am guessing those are from your legacy.”Striking me in the hip, I slide backwards, then I immediately increase my

“WHY DOES THAT MATTER!”With a voice much louder than mine, Asha says, “PARIBANOU!” Which causes me to quiet down. “You’re a mere lizard of 7 years, so listen well to these words; The reason this city carries your family name is because long ago the dragon god gave your great grandpa this city as his own, a sign of respect of the highest order. But that was given as a sign of the Damavand family's strength at the time; strength is what allows you to hold such a title and rule over the dragons of Damavand, not blood.If that strength vanishes or is seen as fractured, any dragon is allowed to come and take all you are, including your pathetic lives, and being killed by a human is enough of a shame to warrant such an act. The greatest sign of disrespect for your heritage as dragons.”As I understand his words, my heart starts to race, then I ask, “So what am I supposed to do?”“Even after all that, you still ask for help?” Sighing, he says, “I will think of this as the last favour I do to

With Cyrus in my arms, I walk forward with a heavy heart. Will I be able to do this? Will I be able to keep this a secret from all the other dragons? Where should I go? Will I be able to find the medicine I need?Stopping in one place, my eyes open as I realise. The murderer of my parents could be right here; he could be watching us, hunting us at this very moment. The image of my parents' corpses flashes through my head, and I start to shake.“S-S-S-S-Sister!” Cyrus says while coughing.Composing myself, I say, “Don’t speak, just rest.” I don’t have time to be worried. I have lived my life to make him happy, so his life is my number 1 priority.I move forward throughout the lands. The human soil is poor, and I doubt the vegetation of Avesta could grow here. The air purity is also a lot worse; I am finding it a lot harder to breathe. I also don’t understand the purpose of all the vast open areas here, in Avesta. They exist so people can use their dragon forms, but since humans don’t ta

10 minutes later.“Hey, I was pouring my heart out, and you just pushed me down again. You could have at least helped me out.”Eating my cadavre, I say, “The only cure for stupidity is death.”“Murder shouldn’t be that quick an option for you to consider, at least think it over a little bit.”Stopping my meal, I say, “I am surprised a human like you could survive such a fall twice.”“You underestimate me. I happen to be pretty amazing.”“Don’t get ahead of yourself, most dragons could easily survive such a fall without a scratch.”Sitting beside me again, he says, “Well, that’s funny because I just so happen to have dragon blood flowing through my veins.”“At least when you lie, try and make it convincing, human.”Annoyingly, he says, “I am not lying!”“Human men’s seed would immediately break down in a dragon's womb, and if a dragon male got a human pregnant the baby would suck all of the women’s nutrients till she dies, so it is impossible.”“But my family's coat of arms has a dragon

As Orb stares down at me, I hear the king's chains rush towards us, but in that moment, Orb creates a ridiculous amount of ice, creating a wall of ice to form in the room.Looking down at me, Orb asks, “Cyrus, why are you lying down on the floor, you’re sister is right there?”With the tears overflowing, I say, “Because my sister hates me. I thought all this time she loved being together with me as much as I loved being with her, but it was all a lie; the entire time, she was miserable. And it is because I am so pathetic that I had to use her for everything, that I relied on her to always do all the hard things for me, like a parasite. My weakness caused her so much sadness that she wanted to stay far away from me. I tried to change, but even with all the time and strength I was blessed with, I couldn’t, and even when I was freed, I just ended up relying on you instead. Everything about me is disgusting.”Staring at Orb, I see him making a pondering face, then moments later he says, “Y
