Chapter 3：A Mothers love (1/2)

The Great Dragon Sen was bestowed upon the name ”Ray”. It was all because his father said that the name reminded him of the sunshine. But the Great Dragon Sen hated it. The name was just far too ordinary and average. He felt weak every time he heard his own name.

Ray—no, the Great Dragon Sen knew that he annoyed everyone with his cries and tantrums, but he didn't seem to put much thought to it. Every time his parents called him by his name, he would start to cry as a protest.

'What were they thinking, calling me Ray.'

He hated the name, for he found it unbefitting of his true self.

A few months had now passed since Sen entered his human body. His understanding of humans had significantly improved over time. In fact, he now even knew of his parents' name! Something he thought he would have never bothered to do. He soon realised how difficult it was to just call them long haired human and short haired human. As in the town, there were many long haired and short haired humans.

His mother was named Scarlett Talen while his father had the name Jack Talen.

Although he didn't quite understand their profession in the town; people seemed to deeply respect the couple. Every time they would have visitors, they would often come presenting them with gifts.

With the steady stream of visitors, Sen came to understand that his parents seemed to be better looking than the average human.

In the face department, his mother was the definition of beauty with long straight black hair, and a symmetrical face which always made her seem amiable and virtuous. Of course, his father wasn't lacking, his body was quite muscular and athletic compared to the other townsfolk.

The residence of Sen's humble family never lacked visitors, until something peculiar happened.

Sen's hair was coloured jet-black like his mother, but after a few months… His hair started changing its colour into a reddish hue. A few weeks after the initial discovery was all it took until his hair turned completely red, only a few black strands remained attached on his scalp.

Its survival served as evidence that he wasn't born this way.

This strange occurrence birthed rumours such as the Talen family being cursed. Hearing all of these, Sen realised that the colour red must be an unlucky colour in this world. But what could he do?

He was a red dragon.

He reckoned that some of his dragon powers were still living inside of him and it became the reason as to why his hair had changed into such an extent.

Sen was indignant, but in the end, he was just a child.

He took a mental note of everyone's face and kept his revenge plans on hold for there was a new enemy that he had to conquer first.

It was…

”Ray, are you ready for dinner?” Sen's mother, Scarlett asked with a smile.
