The Ruthless Dragon God

Rex had turned 10 years old the following year Leo left. Next month the whole grade of his academy was going to undergo Awakening Ceremony. But that ill fated day was going to be one of the worst days in his life.

As a normal regular morning Rex got up in the morning and was weeding out the front lawn of the church when suddenly a huge shadow descended onto the church. It was a huge shadow formed with two large wings coming out of its sides.

As it landed just outside the church, whirlwinds of high intensity formed with the beatings of its wings as its hooves trotted against the ground.

Rex here in front yard had hard time seeing things in front of him. He tried to block the whirlwinds and the dust blowing with his hands but he failed to do so. As the dust gradually settled, a huge white and brown beast came into his sight.

This huge beast was a Stag of 7 ft height, covered in light brown fur and had four sturdy long legs. On its head were two big strong and sharp antlers which it shook proudly as it shook its head tired after the flight. Till this it was a normal Stag but from its back it started differing.

White long feathers ran along its back to form a huge Eagle shaped tail, also two large white feathery wings came out from its back. A single flap of those wings was enough to generate whirlwinds flowing out in all directions.

A person was riding this beast, and as soon as it settled down he jumped from the beast's back and landed near Rex gracefully without making any sound. Shocked Rex involuntarily moved back two steps as he looked at that person in awe.

He was an old man with grey hair which came down below his ears. He had a receding hairline and a thin layer of grey hair on his head. Paired with it was grey beard which covered his lower half of face. It was quite long and came down below his neck.

He was wearing a red coloured garment with a black belt on his waist. Over his red garment he wore a green sleeveless jacket and white pants below the garment. Even though he was graceful his body language emitted some kind of arrogance to them.

"HEY KID!! WHERE IS THE OWNER OF THIS ESTABLISHMENT???", the old man shouted at the kid.

Hearing the powerful voice Rex was shaked down to the bottom his nerves as he meekly pointed to the church as he stammered, "Fa... Fa... Father."

Without saying anything further, the old man walked towards the church leaving Rex stunned. As he walked the hybrid Stag Eagle beast turned into ball of light as it swiftly flew towards the old man and entered his body from the left shoulder.

Again viewing this had a caused a different breakdown happen in Rex's mind. As he stood their shocked watching the back of the old man where a red coloured tree was inscribed on the green jacket. As he regained his senses he too ran and entered the church behind the old man.

Father Wilfred had just come out of the confession box. He had been there from early morning listening to confessions of people and advising them. He came out of the box and prayed to God to forgive their sins. As he turned, he saw the old gentleman in red outfit walking towards him.

"Are you the one responsible here?", the grey haired old man asked as he scanned the priest.

"Yes I am priest of this church and the caretaker of this orphanage. May I know who you are? And how may I help you gentleman?" Father replied with a smile.

"Hmph" The old man took a letter out from his pocket in his jacket and gave it to Father Wilfred. After he gave the letter, without paying any further attention he walked ahead towards the Church Altar and prayed to the God.

While here on other hand after receiving the letter, Father Wilfred opened it and as he read it the smile on his face decreased and was replaced by a frown. Looking up from the letter Father had a gloomy expression on his face. "Is the content of letter True?", he asked.

"Yes." the old man replied.

"Can I see him?"

"No."

"Why? Is his... OK?

"Nothing left."

"But..."

"DO YOU THINK I CARE?", the old man shouted as he was annoyed by the questions asked by Father. The shout was so loud that windows and glass of Church started shaking. " BE THANKFUL THAT I ATLEAST CAME."

Hearing this commotion the children of orphanage came out running to find out the cause. Meanwhile the old man was pissed as hell as he started walking towards door. He walked past all audience and went out of church with a frown embedded on his face.

Out of the church he summoned his Stag Eagle hybrid animal and jumped on its back and set off. On other hand Father made all his audience sit down as he stood on the stage addressing them.

"A letter came from the Redwood University located at the capital Wellington. It was to notify us that Keiran won't be coming back ever. He.. Uh... He has lost his life in promotional exams. He was caught and eaten up by the wild animals in the forest."

Little Rex also heard this as he was sitting in audience. When he heard this, his mind went blank and a same message kept on repeating in his mind.

"Keiran is dead."

"Keiran Is Dead."

"KEIRAN IS DEAD."
