Hell Bound Chapter 11

  Lucifer shifted his to Temptation, seeing the yarning and pain in her eyes for little Lazarus, before smiling with a wicked grin, his little game wasn’t over yet. Looking at that little bastard of his, seeing the look of dread, horror, and despair in his eyes before returning his back to Temptation, seeing the pain in her eyes as looked at her son, wanting to nothing more than to rush straight to him and console and help soothe his pain. The Supreme Devil, with a wicked grin plastered on his face, spoke with a voice filled with glee, “Temptation, take him back to his room. I’m done with him”. Temptation upon hearing what her master said, simply bowed her head, internal grateful and happy that it was over and she could finally take her little one away and console him. She then went to him, looking at him and seeing that his body was completely healed but his eyes, though eyes that once shone and glowed with joy now looked deemed, flicker that looked as though it was soon be snuffed ou

The Blood Of the Dragon Chapter 10


Chapter 10

The academy, though could be considered a single school made for young dragon warriors, it was actually made up of different schools within it, these schools were designed to teach and train specific dragon warriors. 

The school of water trained water dragon warriors like Susan, the school of fire trained fire dragon warriors like Steven, the angry boy that almost fought David, the school of earth trained earth dragon warriors like the boy with black spectacle, and finally the air school taught air dragon warriors like David and Flora.

Flora had shown David the other schools of the Dragon Academy, explaining what they were and warning him to never go to any other school apart from the school for air dragon warriors as students were not allowed to interfere in the affairs of any other school apart from theirs.

 David felt bad upon hearing that he couldn’t go to the other schools, wanting to explore more about the Dragon Academy and also maybe pay a visit to Susan in the water school.

In the school of air Flora took David to the academic class which was the first class for the day. Once there David took a next to Flora.

The teacher then walked in and not long after began the lesson.

The teacher taught about an important topic that affected the entire history of the world, a topic David knew little about, the Dark Dragon Lord and how his reign over the world.

The teacher began the class with a brief history of how the Dark Dragon Lord appeared out of nowhere with a power so great it shook the entire world.

At 16 years old the Dark Dragon Lord had already brought entire nations to their knees and those that dared to go against him he reduced to dust and ash.

Many years after, as a fully grown man he had conquered the entire world. The Dark Dragon Lord was indeed a person to be feared not just for his power but for the dark dragon warriors he commanded.

The dark dragon warriors were ruthless and would obey every command given to them by the Dark Dragon Lord no matter what it was.

The Dark Dragon had a philosophy that only dragon warriors had the power to purify and fix the world but they can only do it by force since the people of the world are cruel and heartless.

His philosophy was what drove and motivated every cruel and wicked action he committed, he also taught his dark dragon warriors the same philosophy he believed him which drove and motivated them as well even after his death. 

The Dark Dragon Lord was a dangerous dragon warrior not because of the power he possessed alone but because he was able to influence other dragon warriors so that they would see the world the way he saw it and have the same belief as him. 

He was not just a powerful dragon warrior; he was a manipulator, a villain who believed he was a hero.

David sat down listening to everything the teacher said attentively and focusing on every word, wanting to know more about the Dark Dragon Lord but then the school bell rang, and then all the students had to leave the class.

 David felt bad that the class could not continue as he wanted to know more about the Dark Dragon Lord but from the little knowledge about him he could get from the class he began to wonder how and why a person like the Dark Dragon Lord would want to wreak havoc and destruction just because he believed he was saving the world. 

The concept was strange to him and he found himself thinking about how insane the Dark Dragon Lord had to be to confuse evil for good.

The next class David had to attend was a power training class which unlike the academic class focused on teaching students how to control and master their elemental powers and not on the history of the dragon warriors.

David was excited to attend the class as he had heard from Flora that he, she and the other students would be leaving the academy to practice and train on how to use their powers. 

David was excited upon hearing that he and the other students of the academy would leave the academy, not wanting to waste any time he rushed out of the academy, following the other students outside the academy. Once outside David watched as one by one all the students began to summon their air dragons and ride away, following the teacher who rode on his air dragon as well. David upon seeing the student leave on their dragons felt a bit nervous as he had, at least to his knowledge, never summoned a dragon before. David then took a deep breath in and then began to attempt to summon his dragon, even though he didn’t know how exactly to summon a dragon.

Not really sure what he was supposed to do, he closed his eyes and tried to force his dragon out. He tried with all his might but no matter how hard he tried his dragon refused to come.

“What on earth are you doing?” said Flora was sat on her dragon’s back watching David from high up in the sky. David upon hearing Flora’s voice opened his eyes and then smiled nervously at her.

“Flora, you’re still here,” said David nervously.

“Why haven’t you summoned your dragon yet?” asked Flora.

“Well, I kind of don’t *sigh* really know how too,” said David while bowing his head down in shame.

Flora upon hearing what David said could not believe it, a dragon warrior who didn’t know how to summon his dragon, something that was supposed to have come naturally to all dragon warriors. Flora then flew down and landed her dragon next to David.

“Did you just say you can’t summon your dragon?” asked Flora still unable to believe that David could summon a dragon. 

David just nodded his head, feeling too embarrassed and shame to answer Flora with his voice.

Flora then took a deep breath, still unable to understand why David couldn’t summon his dragon but couldn’t think too much about it as the teacher and other students had already gone so far and if they wanted to reach them they had to leave right away.

“Get on,” said Flora.

“What?” said David confused.

“Get on my dragon, I’ll give you a ride,” said Flora.

“Oh,” said David before climbing onto Flora’s dragon.

“Hold on to something,” said Flora.

David then held on to Flora tightly before her dragon began to flap its massive wings and then took off.

Flying high in the sky Flora’s dragon flew as fast as the wind and managed to reach the other students who were shocked to see David riding alongside Flora on her dragon.

The teacher, riding his wind dragon led the students to the top of a mountain so high that its peak reached the sky and was covered completely by the clouds.

Once on the mountain to,p the teacher came down from his dragon followed by the rest of the class. Immediately David sensed the air on the mountain felt different, it was thinner than normal which made it hard to breathe.

David could feel himself slowly suffocating as he found it harder and harder to breathe the thin air and it wasn’t only David struggling, the other students including Flora were struggling as well to breathe.

“Listen up students,” said the teacher with a deep and loud voice.

“As I’m sure you've all noticed the air here is thin and hard to breathe. If you all weren’t dragon warriors the thin air would have made you lose consciousness in a mere minute or two and in about an hour or so, it would have suffocated you all to death” said the teacher.

David upon hearing what the teacher said felt a little scared, fearing he would lose his life attending the class.

“If you all are scared of dying due to suffocation don’t be, as dragon warriors your bodies can handle breathing the thin air. To us dragon warriors the thin air is more of an annoyance than anything life-threatening” said the teacher.

David sighed out of relief upon hearing that he wouldn’t suffocate due to thin air.

“That being said, your lesson today is an easy one,” said the teacher before snapping his finger and using the power of the wind to create a ball of dense air around him which enabled him to breathe properly without struggling.

“All you have to do is create a ball of dense air around yourself to enable you to breathe properly, if you all can manage this simple task, you pass, if you can’t, you fail,” said the teacher.

"Oh and try not to pass out while doing this exercise. I don't want to have to drag your unconscious bodies back to school grounds” the teacher added.

The students began to try to create a ball of air around themselves like the teacher instructed to enable them to breathe properly. It was not an easy feat to accomplish because to use the power of the wind the wind dragon warriors needed to focus but as they struggled to breathe focusing became more difficult.

As time passed a few of the students managed to successfully create the ball, like Flora, but others, like David, were still struggling.

No matter how David tried he could not maintain the ball of air around him and it would often dissipate the very moment he formed it.

David, after a lot of failed attempts in creating the ball of air, fell to the ground, exhausted and struggling to breathe.

Flora, seeing David in the state he was in could help but feel bad for him and so she decided to give him a helping hand. Flora then went to David and allowed him into the ball of air she created. 

David, now within the ball of air, could breathe properly and managed to get some of his strength back.

Flora then helped him up.

“Thanks, Flora,” said David to Flora, feeling grateful to her for helping him.

“Don’t thank me yet, to pass you still have to create a ball of air all on your own” said Flora.

“Yeah,” said David with a deep sigh, wondering how he was supposed to focus on creating the ball of air when he could barely breathe.

 Flora, seeing that David was lost in his thoughts, thinking of how he could focus on creating the ball of air decided to help him out with some advice.

“Try doing it with a clear mind, avoid thinking as much as possible, and only focus on the task given to you,” said Flora.

“Avoid thinking,” David said to himself and then took a few brief moments to think about what Flora said.

“Alright, I’m ready to try again,” said David.

“Good luck,” said Flora.

“Thanks, I’m going to need it,” said David before leaving the ball of air.

Once out of the ball of air David when down on one knee, took in a deep breath, and then began to clear his mind as best he could, focusing solely on creating the ball of air.

As David’s mind was now focused solely on creating the ball of air slowly out of the wind began to blow around him, a ball of air then began to slowly form around him. 

David had done it; he had successfully created the ball of air. 

Flora could help but smile proudly at him upon seeing him create the air ball but then something strange began to happen.

With David’s eyes still closed, he began to see strange visions in his mind. In visions, he saw the Temple of The Golden Dragon Warrior and the golden locket on the neck of the mysterious woman he dreamt about in the morning.

As David saw the vision he felt a strange power flow through his entire body and as it did his ball of air grew bigger and bigger, engulfed everybody within it, and even grew so large that it engulfed the entire mountain peak.

Everyone, including Flora and the teacher, was shocked upon witnessing David's incredible display of power. David then felt a strange power slowly disappear and as it did the ball began to shrink down until only engulfed David within it.

David then slowly opened his eyes and then smiled happily upon seeing the ball of air he had created.

“I actually did it,” said David, happy to see that he was able to create the ball of air. David then noticed the strange looks everyone was giving him, a strange mix of amazement and shock.

“Why are you all looking at me like that?” asked David, feeling a bit strange as everyone continued to look at him strangely.

The teacher then walked up to David and then asked, “What’s your name?”

“David,” said David.

“Hmm,” said the teacher, thinking about something for a few brief moments before turning to the rest of the class.

“Class is over, you all to return to the academy at once,” said the teacher. 

With that said the students, one by one began to summon their dragons and ride away.

Flora then summoned her wind dragon.

“Are you coming or not” asked Flora to David, waiting for him to get on her dragon. 

David then climbed onto Flora’s dragon before he and she flew off, riding Flora’s dragon.

“Hey, do you know why everyone was looking at me,” asked David.

“You seriously don’t know,” said Flora, shocked to find out that David did not even know what he did.

“Not really. Did I do anything wrong?” asked David.

“No, you were actually amazing,” said Flora.

“Really, what did I do?” asked David.

Flora then told David how he created a ball of air so massive that it engulfed the entire mountain peak which David found it impossible to believe.

“I still don’t believe that could do such a thing,” said David, not believing what Flora said about him creating a ball of air that covered the entire mountain peak.

“Whether you believe it or not that still doesn’t change the fact that it happened,” said Flora. David remained silent for a moment while thinking about what Flora told him. As he thought about it he spotted the Temple of The Golden Dragon Warrior and then remembered the vision he had and the strange power he felt.

David could not explain but he could sense the same power coming from the temple, almost as if it was calling out to him.

He wanted nothing more than to go to the temple and find out more about the power he felt when he saw the vision but sadly he had to return to the academy with the other students.
