Chapter 1 (Book 2 of the Dragon’s Lord Return)
The Dragon Lord’s Legacies.Avon’s point of viewI stood there, regardless of the situation playing out in front of me. My wife, Lorraine holding my son close to her and restricting him from touching me.Amazement shunned through my eyes, and I tried understanding what was going on. I woke up from my five years coma, and my wife was married to a new man.Not any new man, Richard Wilson of all men in EastVille.As if that wasn’t shocking enough, my son has been legally made his son. And all I own belongs to him, his name, and nothing is left for me.How did this happen, what is going on?“I said get out before I have the security do their job.” Her stern voice cautioned, resoluted with her gaze fiery and the least passive. Her index went as much as pointing out the door.What am I missing here?Five years ago, after the mini burial we held for Kory Anders, my wife got sick and we found out the sickness was caused by the life growing in her womb.I genuinely cared for her, stayed with her and away from anything work. My office was locked up for the whole nine months, I never stepped aside, I was with her, alongside her cousin and her mother.I abandoned my goal of ending the Great Five Families, although The Parkers were gone already, but the rest are still well and healthy.However, Finn; my personal assistant, ran away, I have no idea where he went, but the last time I saw him was when I psychically looked for him to see him settled far away from my city. I suppose he wanted a casual and peaceful life.I was faced with a lot of puzzles, without pieces to put together. I witness Lorraine birth my son, I named him Atlas Barksdale.It was a month after the arrival of our first baby I decided to reopen my office. I recalled to the moment I sat down, and everything went black.That was the last thing I remembered. I woke up earlier this morning, literally confused by my existence, I had no idea who I was, what I am, zilch about my existence. I didn’t even remember my name, but gradually things started coming back and my head was spinning with my past and memories.I asked about my wife, and I was shocked when the doctor informed me she lives with her husband, the husband named Richard Wilson.I got a hold of her location and instantly rushed to her. I don’t know if she was pretending or anything, but she claimed not to recognize me and is chasing me out.“I’m going to count to three, if you’re not out by three, then I’m throwing you out.” Her voice made the bid, casting me a deadly look as she began counting down the three seconds she’s giving me.Not to humiliate myself, I walked out of her mansion, out of her presence. However, couldn’t move past her porch. The reality at hand not fitting well with me.My wife not only discarded me, she denied ever knowing who I was, who I am. She denied ever having anything to do with me, she denied our past.And she’s refusing my claim on my son.What happened while I was in coma? How did a mere passing out pushed me to coma?Many questions raised above my mind, none of which my head was producing answers to.I just know that, I’m Avon Barksdale, the Dragon General. A man once pulverized to a twerp, but became a Kingpin. A man wrapped with immense power and strength, almost mutating a god.I remember who I was, and who I still am. I’m the Dragon General, and my life has been stolen from me. My legacy has been nullified.I walked off her porch. Not really sure where to go, my mansion was no more, my company has a new name. I have been erased, and my wealth has been stolen alongside my life.I walked by the street, not sure where I’m headed. Quietly trying to figure out how I’m going to deal with my problems.Then it clicked!I was a man of power, I’m not ordinary. But I do feel ordinary, the mystical energy surging through me was no longer active.I can’t feel anything again. I stretched out my arms, inspecting my body with an inward sense, nothing special was streaming through my blood or body. I was clean, and human.Which could only mean one thing?My powers were stolen alongside everything else taken away from me. I’m down being a nobody.The bright sun shone over me with harsh intensity, doing that to mark how my enemies won against me. To mark their triumph, and my defeat.They surely were bidding to kill me, but I lived, because coma couldn’t achieve my demise.I lived because my soul was that relentless, and wouldn’t accept his defeat. I lived because my second chance at life is not going to be taken away. My grandmother didn’t sacrifice herself just so I could lose.And waking up from that coma is my second chance to attain my permanent victory.My enemies.I’m coming for them all.I’m going to take back everything that was first of all stolen away from me, my family, my wealth, and my legacy. Then I will make each and everyone of them pay for drilling a war with me.After which I’m going to end their pathetic lives.I’m coming for all of them. However, to be able to do that. I’m going to need to gear myself up, I’m going to need to upgrade out of the nobody I am, into somebody at least.I’m on a casual shirt and pants given to me by the doctor, and he even paid for my transportation fare to Lorraine’s new home.I have no bucks on me, I have nothing on me.I sighed, looking straight ahead of me at the quiet road, good thing my brain is well wired to the point of saving me out of this situation.I have this penthouse in the big city, I bought it for Lorraine to give her on her birthday, we were suppose to go there for some weeks vacation, and it was going to be a surprise.No one except for me knows about it, not even Finn. And inside the penthouse, in a particular room, was a designed suitcase with red ribbons filled with hundred bucks bundles.It was another gift for Lorraine to start her business like she told me she wanted to. Now the plan of before was going to help me now.Except, I don’t know how I’m gonna get to The Big Capital City Of EastVille when I’m a nobody.To Be Continued.I’m so sorry for the long wait, enjoyyyyyy

Chapter 24
Chapter 24 Finn’s sense of self was in a daze. He looked around in a haze, like the world around him was no longer a space he’s familiar with. “Boss,” he called out after a long while of silence, of soaking in his surroundings. He needed explanations to why he’s currently laid in some circle drawn out of salt, why he feels as though he just woke up from a long sleep. “What’s going on?” His voiced out between heavy breaths, still looking around himself for clues that explains the situation to him. Avon lowered himself near Finn, “How are you feeling?” He sounded genuine, and he was. His eyes drew shades of worries. He could only imagine how it feels to be a prisoner of his own mind and body for the past better part of a decade, hosting a powerful dark entity and slaving around for him. It’s a miracle he returned to himself sane. “Though it feels like I just woke up from a long sleep. But I still think I need some sleep, a little bit of it more,” Finn answered truthfully, wearine
Chapter 23
Chapter 23 Finn’s eyes were pitched black, darkened like a soulless void. He was knelt still in the circle and fist folded as he glared dangerously at Avon. “Now what’s next? Am I suppose to leave him there to murder me with his eyes?” Avon was wary, uncomfortable under the weight of his glare. “Yeah,” Lewis responded nonchalantly. “He’s powerless in there, and stuck in there. He can’t get out of there unless he let go of his host, and the only way he can do that is to release his soul,” he said in addition. “Can he talk?” “Release me!” Avon’s question was answered when an old grumpy voice thundered out of Finn in different voices. “Where did you put my wife?” Avon grilled as he began to paraded the circle. “How did you get a hold of my assistant in the first place? Why did you become my enemy?” “One question at a time, mortal.” A creepy dark smirk pulled over Finn’s face as his head followed Avon’s movements around. “You wish to know where your wife is hidden? Then break thi
Chapter 22
Chapter 22 With Lewis’s guidance, Avon got a hold of Elizabeth’s, his grandmother’s grimoire. Inside were a lot of rituals and spell incantations to study and enact. But none piqued his interest than the spell that has to do with certain severance and marking. When he got to the page dedicated for a ritual as such, he laid it bare in front of Lewis to inspect and enlighten. Avon doesn’t know anything about rituals or incantations, neither was he vast in any magical knowledge. “It says here, the possessed needs to be around, in the center of the runes,” Lewis began to break down what he could understand as his fingers trailed over the page’s surface. “We’ll need salt to carve the runes, natural elements are required. So we need candles to stand in for fire, sand for earth, the wind itself will role as our air, and finally water.” As Lewis clarified. Avon went on to gather the necessary supplies stated in need for the ritual. In no time, he’s found a jar filled with sand in one o
Chapter 21
Chapter 21 “Yeah what do you have for me?” Avon inquired once he picked Simon’s phonecall. “It’s about Damien Barksdale sir,” Simon responded on his end. “Do tell….” “Did a little digging and research on the name, the name did not existed until few years ago. The man however existed, but was under a different name or identity. I found a totally different background on him compared to what you’re informed or told. Your Damien Barksdale use to go by Gregory Ackles, was a commercial model and a social media personality. He got into a fatal accident that nearly ended his life but has him in a coma instead few years ago, around the same year Damien Barksdale came into existence and Gregory suddenly faded out of existence,” He gave the report, clear on the details. Avon scoffed a muted scoff. So Faye wasn’t lying, not like he expected that she was, but it’s still shocking that she was right. “Good Job Simon, but there’s one more thing I’ll need you to do for me?” “I’m at
Chapter 20
Chapter 20 Damian stepped back as an awkward smile lightened his face. “I was about to take my leave, and thought I could bade you a proper goodbye,” he came up with a believable excuse. However, Avon was smart enough to not believe his words. He knew he was eavesdropping, and would rather not push on it. There’s a case more serious he has to deal with. That is, the safety of his little guy, and Death’s abrupt capture of his wife and assistant. “Goodbye!” Avon said to him before he broke back into a run, rushing down the hallway that leads to Atlas’s room. He got there in a matter of seconds as he barged into the room. His sight settled on Atlas cuddled up against the headboard of his bed, shaky and filled with fright. “Mom! Mom!!” He called out repeatedly in whispers, whimpering and riddled with fear. “Hey there little guy.” Avon quickly walked up to him and sat down beside him. “You’re okay, your mom is going to be okay,” he assured him before he drew him close into his arms a
Chapter 19
Chapter 19 Avon excused himself and Finn, took him away to his office to avoid violence in front of everyone at the living room. Damien had stayed back to continue his familiarization with Avon’s in laws. Castian also had to give them space, so it was Avon and Finn alone who went to his office. “I’m just going to ask you once, so your answer better be worth it,” Avon informed as he walked over to his desk, arching his back as he leaned his hand over the desk. “You were gone, why did you leave? And why are you back?” Finn snickered as he looked around the office, “Seriously take a good look at me,” he said as he presented himself in a glaring manner. “Do I look like your assistant? I mean sure I have his face, but does it seem like I’m the man who used to work for you?” Avon stared with confusion, his brows furrowed as he wondered what he was talking about. “Huh?” “Okay let me be straight with you, I am not Finn. Finn isn’t dead… yet, his soul needs to be alive for me to keep his
