Chapter 2 (2/2)

”You!”

”Ahem! Tell me, what is this child doing here with you?” the Hokage asked sternly.

”Uh, you see, I was just returning from a mission when I saw this kid laying right next to the village's gate. He was kind of suspicious and he told me that he will tell us about his land if I bring him to you, ” Kakashi explained.

Hiruzen seems interested in what Kakashi's talking about, he looks at Hikaru and asks, ”So, what land did you come from, boy?”

Hikaru got a little annoyed that Hiruzen called him a boy, when he is over 16 years old, but he just ignored it and replied with a lie to his question, ”I came from the land of Lordran that was ruled by the Lord Of Sunlight, Gwyn. In my land, eternal dragons once ruled it before Lord Gwyn came.”

”Wait, dragons? Aren't they just myths?” Kakashi asked him.

”No, they weren't. Wars were fought before the three lords managed to destroy them--” Hikaru continued but Hiruzen cuts him off.

”What do you mean they destroy them, aren't they eternal? Then how did they got destroyed?” Hiruzen asked.

Hikaru was getting annoyed with all their questions, but he kept his calm and continued explaining.

”Because one of their own betrayed them, Seath the Scaleless. The eternal dragons were able to live eternal because of their immortal scales, but there was a secret they were hiding, their weakness. Lightning. Their scales were extremely weak to lightning and Seath being jealous of his brethren' immortal scales, told Gwyn on how to defeat the eternal dragons. So Gwyn used his divine lightning to pierce their scales, Nito, The First Of The Undead, spread disease to their ranks, and the Witch Of Izalith and her seven daughter of chaos destroyed their archtrees.”

Kakashi then asks, ”Then what happened after?”

Hikaru looks at Kakashi and said, ”Then Gwyn's light came, instead of just killing Seath right in from of him, he gave him rewards. Being a duke in his kingdom, the hand of his first daughter, Gwyenevere, and a part of his very own lord soul--” Hiruzen, again, cuts him off.

”You kept saying lord soul, what are they?” Hiruzen asked curiously.

”It's hard to explain, but I'll do my best. The lord souls came from the fire. The fire which Gwyn greatly desired. He became the hope of his entire race because of this fire. This fire is a part of the great nature itself, that's why the powers that came from it was so powerful.”

”So what happened to the fire?” Hiruzen asked.

”The fire burned out and darkness was spreading to the land, but it was all part of the great nature for humanity to rise up, unfortunately, Gwyn decided to go against mother nature herself. He lit the flame using himself as the fuel, ” Hikaru explained.

Now, Hiruzen is greatly confused. ”Weren't Gwyn a human?”

Hikaru shook his head and said, ”No, Gwyn wasn't a human, I don't know what race he is but I think he was a part of the race called Gods. Gwyn and his race were literal gods, I think.”
