Chapter 1- part 2- The past, The future and now

  Ryousuke instantly woke up from his sleep as soon as the wolves howled. His instinct to hunt rose drastically. He recognises the howl of Moon Wolves and immediately took his equipment. He decapitated a deer nearby and took its meat as bait.

  Finding wolf tracks was not very difficult for Ryousuke as the Moon shone brightly that night. Right at this moment, he was completely possessed by his hunting instinct. Moon Wolves are animals that migrate every fortnight and their tracks are almost impossible to be detected.

  Ryousuke spotted a wolf uphill. He was going to shoot it with an arrow when the wolf was burnt to ashes from an unknown fire. The blue flame shone vividly and was instantly extinguished after completely burning the canine. Ryousuke, horrified by the brialliant flame quickly smeared the dragon's blood he extracted before to completely get rid of his smell.

  The creature, unaware of what is coming tried to sleep. It was tired from the journey of travellng across worlds. It laid down on the grass and instantly dozed off.

  Ryousuke took out a saddle he brought and tied it to the creature resembling a horse. His dead mount could not be revived so he might as well tame the creature as his mount. He tied it without any difficulties. The creature not knowing anything snored all night.

  Ryousuke took the oppurtunity to think of what he would do next. He had tamed a lot of animals before but he is unfamiliar with this 'creature'. It resembles a horse but it has a demonic trait, 'The Cursed Ligne'.

  By dawn, Ryousuke had packed all of his belongings and is waiting patiently for the creature to wake up. Instead of doing nothing, he began to cook breakfast. Unnoticing the changes of the horse as time passed, it was turning human-like.

  Keselth, a knight ranked Draconian dragon was ordered by his superiors to invade Teshealor. the knight was taking cover behind the line of Defenders with the other Lancers. He was waiting for the mechs to cease fire. As soon as it went silent, he barked orders.

  "Lancers, Mort Pluie formation."

  The Lancers raised their their lances and concentrated their Mana on their weapons. Mana projectiles started raining down from the sky. This is one of the dragon's well-known devastating attacks.

  Five Draconian dragon squadrons were sent to conquer Teshealor. The squadrons were reduced to three after midnight. By dawn, the dragon's conquest for Teshealor succeeded, taking all survivors as hostage. It will be their stepping stone for their plans.

  The sounds of eggs sizzling woke the creature. By now, it completely looks like a female human. 'She' is armored in pitch black armor from head to toe. Only the helmet has lines of crimson. Hair flowing from her helmet, she drew out her saber.

  It sliced through thin air and... clashed with an oval barrier. The barrier dispersed and is quickly replaced by a trident, grabbed by Ryousuke and was swung, trapping the saber between its blades.

  "Who dares to interrupt me cooking?" He slightly coughed before continuing, "Identify yourself."

  Ryousuke heard the sound of a sword sheathed, and was surprised when he saw the face of a female behind him. No, he was more surprised to watch her fully armored and her inhumane strength earlier.

  "Wha... what are you looking at?" she asked while blushing. She had already removed her helmet, She produced and artful smile. "Anyway, the name is Alma Deutscher."

  Alma reached out her hand for a handshake but was completely ignored. Ryousuke by now, was starting to enjoy his breakfast, scrambled eggs. Her stomach growled and all she could do is gulp down her saliva. He took a slice of bread for himself before taking another slice and offered it to her.

  As she was starving, she gobbled the bread heartily. She even licked her hands for the leftover breadcrumbs. In one glance, she resembles a cat somehow.

  "Tell me more about yourself and why did you attack me." He paused for a while before continuing. "Make it short."

  "Okay... I'm not really keen on telling my story to anyone. But well, even though we just met you look like a reliable person..." The girl sat on a tree stump and sighed deeply.
