925: DRAGON BEAST

DRAGON BEAST

"Of course I have the fae with me," Torak said.1

"You have the fae with you?" Jedrek hissed in disbelief. All this while, he thought that the fae was gone, like dead or in complete seclusion… he didn't know, he just couldn't find her, yet Jedrek was not really looking for her as well, since he had a lot of things that he needed to sort out.

And of course he had nothing to do with the fae after the vow, the fact that she just disappeared all of a sudden, didn't bother him much to say the least.

[I think there are a lot of things that we need to talk.] Jedrek mind-linked his brother grimly.

[No, I don't want to talk about it.] Torak replied and shut him out of his mind, when he thought about a certain thing.

Indeed, when Jedrek chased him out 'ultra gently', Torak brought a few things with him.

"I will tell you!" Stephan finally spoke up and in the next second he got a fierce glare from his brother, the former could even feel the intensity of it on the back of his head.

"YOU ARE WEAK!" Reynold roared in anger. He tried to get up and rush toward his brother when Jedrek gave an order to restrain him.

"Take him away," Jedrek said darkly. The younger brother wanted to confess, so Reynold's outburst would only get in their way.

"No!" Reynold struggled to get away from the two lycans that approached him. "You will end our family bloodline!"

"What if they are saying the truth!?" Stephan roared back at his brother. He had had enough of his brother's nonsense!

Reynold seemed to be out of his mind recently, the brother that he knew was not like this! Or… probably he was, if one remembered correctly, he used Stephan to hide from Torak after he killed one of his pack members.

"YOU WILL END OUR FAMILY BLOODLINE!" Reynold yelled the same thing again like a crazy man.

"The devils were only using you, have you not realized it yet?!" Stephan retorted.

However, in a fit of rage, Reynold did the least expected thing that his kind were forbidden from doing. He shifted into his beast.

The transformation was very slow, since the dragon shifter had to fight the vow that his older generations had made. It was almost like fighting yourself to let yourself lost in your beast.

The process was painful, yet dumbfounding.

Reynold's body hunched forward as he bent his legs in an odd position and placed both of his arms against the floor, as something protruded out on the back of his neck, soon similar things followed suit in a straight line, along his back.

They looked something like triangular bones that came out from his spine and broke through his skin.

After that, a pair of odd bony structures broke through the skin on his upper back, one on either side of these neural spines and as if there was an explosion, the bones turned out to be a pair of wings, which flapped vigorously and caused some damage around the wall around him, along with breaking the roof above them.

His body turned as big as a hut and his skin covered with scales, which seemed as if no sword could pierce through it.

The transformation was almost ended and they were caught off guard at Reynold's rash decision…

It could be counted, as the second time he did this, forsaking the vow completely, but that wasn't the most shocking thing now, because once the transformation was completed, he was breathing fire and was about to kill Stephan.

How could he do that when the most precious person for him was his brother, when he doted on Stephan the most, but now his mind was clouded and he wanted his brother to die.

What was happening?

Was this what you got when you involved yourself with the devils? You would lose your mind along with your soul?

On the other hand, Stephan was too surprised by what he was seeing and added to the fact he couldn't move because he was tied very tight to the chair, it was only a matter of time when he would turn into nothing but ashes.

When the fire was gathered in his mouth and the dragon was about to burn his own brother, all of a sudden, everything became still, they couldn't even hear the howling wind from the night.

"What is happening?" Calleb spoke, breaking the silence around them.

As though Jedrek and Torak just got their senses back, the two of them suddenly shifted into their respective beasts and charged forward at the beast in front of them and attacked its heart at the same time.

Once the two white lycans landed on the floor, their fur stained with blood, which spurted from the hollow chest of the beast, no one could discern which one of them had taken the dragon's heart.

Everything only happened in span of a few seconds, or so, as no one could measure it with time since the time itself had stopped, but those few moments were crucial.

When the time was ticking again, the dragon beast had lost his life and with the fire in his mouth that had not yet unleashed, the dragon fell back and burned himself in the process.

Lilac, who had been silently watching the turn of events, waved her hand and blanketed the burning dragon with her tendrils, as those things helped to put off the fire.

At this moment, Stephan could only watch his own brother die before his eyes with his body trembling. He was very pale and was not able to utter a single word, while the three dragon shifters that were brought into this now shambled room, could only witness their lord die with eyes wide open.

"Release him," Jedrek said after he shifted back into his human skin and tried to wipe away the blood on his hands by using a curtain hanging near him.

The lycan warrior, who was standing close to Stephan, seemingly had not yet regained from his shock as he didn't listen to the king's order, after all, this was the first time that he watched a real dragon.

"What are you waiting for?" Jedrek frowned. "Release him."

"Oh… yes, will do, your majesty," the lycan stammered and hurriedly opened the chain that held Stephan to the chair with clumsy fingers.
