128 Struggle Of Survivors (2/2)
According to them, the cause of death of the thousands of Dragon soldiers on all sides, including the death of the Dragon King of the West, was done by the rampaging black Dragon. However, the other Dragon races of the North, South, and West believed otherwise.
They pointed the blame to the Eastern Dragon race as it all started from one of their people - Lesse.
As a result, every single member of the Eastern Dragon tribe had been subjected to become their slave as payment of their loss, not to mention the death of the King Dragon of the west.
The Eastern Dragon refused to take all the blame and become a slave which, as expected, led to the three versus one war against the rest of the Dragon Races.
With such power imbalance, the war ended up to the great fall of the proud Eastern Dragon race.
The mysterious human organizations and powerful politicians observing in the background also took this chance to get their hands on some of the captured Eastern Dragons. As a result, their Dragon blood and meat supply boomed in supply - leading to the introduction of the wonderdrug so-called ”God's Blood” to the public.
With the help of their Father, Lesse and Long managed to survive the ordeal and went into hiding in disguise as ordinary humans.
However, it did not take long for them to realize that their Dragon blood betrayed them of their hiding effort - risking them to the sensitive noses of the other disguised enemy Dragon members and hunters.
Changing their appearance was not enough so Lesse had had no other choice but to completely give up their Dragon privilege resulting in them becoming as fragile as a human.
Their Dragon powers are sealed inside a Dragon essence vessel in the form of a silver necklace hanging on Lesse's neck. Knowing the impulsive manner of her brother, Lesse made sure to hold on to the key to releasing their power in the form of a ring and wore it with her all the time.
Long stood up and walked towards the window to calm himself down. His mind wandered to the source of the problem.
”It is because of the stupid black Ancestral Dragon!” He murmured.
”No, it was my fault all along,” Lesse interjected. ”If only I have destroyed that human as soon as I saw him, none of this would have ever happened. Father would have been alive. And everything else would have been as it was...”
Lesse on the other side of the table looked down in guilt. She knew that everything else started because of her and that damned human she met after her last Tribulation of Light.
”I still don't understand though.” Long, murmured. ”There are thousands of qualified Elder Dragons during that time but, why would the Heavenly Ancestral Dragon choose that stupid human?”
”What was so special about him by the way?” He added, sitting down before his sister.
”That is why we are here right? To investigate about his matter. To uncover the truth about that man-” Lesse replied.
”Sister we been here for ten years and what? It was really weird not even a single one of the people around here knows the guy. Even if it was clear that he was living here and even working all along! His small house was nowhere to be found, his identity erased in the private and government databases, and not even any traces of him is left! It's as if he never existed in the first place!” Long complained in frustration.
”It was the Guardians doing,” Lesse replied.
”It is their task to hide any shreds of evidence that leads to the possible revelation to the existence of the Dragons. They modify witnesses' memory, changing records and so on. It was a piece of cake for them.” She added.
”Aside from the Dragon Blood that they declared as God's Blood, any other else that pertained to us has been carefully hidden. It is safe to assume that ordinary humans will never know about our existence as long as the Guardians exist.” Lesse explained as her gaze locked on to her brother.
”As for that human who obtained the Ancestral Dragon essence, I really doubt he survived the God reckoning ordeal. After all, not even his dust remained in the area after it happened and you know what that means right...” She added with an inquisitive look.
”Whatever, you can do what you guys want and believe what you want to believe. I am going out now. I still have school to do” Long said as he grabbed his school back and left.
Lesse looked at his departing back with an anxious look. She knew how stubborn her brother is.
Leaving the house and walking on the street alone towards the nearest college school, Long started to mumble to himself.
”I know you are still alive Black Dragon. You who brought these miseries in our lives. I will make sure to hunt you down myself.”
Little did he knew, three mysterious men had been following him from the distance- all with a sinister grin in their faces.
They were Dragon Hunters.
