When she heard the footsteps we run up stairs. We had gone to her bedroom, she opened her closet and took one backpack and a package. She gave the package to me. And then we run to my bedroom and she was putting some clothes at the bag.
“Y’allaer, I never told you but your father really was a dragon… I had put a spell at our house now, it won’t keep the humans away for a long time, but it will buy us time to do what we can. Now, open the package and use it. Your father forged it for you.”
I do what she ask and under the cloth I see a sword. I take her out of the sheath and what I saw made my jaw hang open. A fierce red blade, it was really beautiful. It leave some heat, I could sense the mana that was present on the blade and on the red stone on the guard.
“Your father, Zenon, used his teeth, claws and scales to make it. He never gave it a name, he wanted you to choose one for it. It was his present for you. He used his flames to heat the items and the metal, he spend almost two days doing it and when it was complete it shone just like your scales. A crimson red. He named you using the dragon alphabet, your name has a powerful meaning Crimson Destroyer.” It is the first time I had heard it! So Y’allaer Dragnovith has this meaning? I really can bear it?
“As you can see, your father died after your birthday. You had one year-old. And the humans always wanted to kill him. Once a month they would getter their knights and then they would try to kill him but he always killed all the men they send. But once they took 3 months gathering resources and they send a army of almost 1000 men. Your father knew he would not made it, so he choose to battle behind a waterfall and after the last men came in he send me a signal so I would close the entrance with magic. He died in battle but he killed almost 700 knights. The last 300 died from hunger after that, they could not open the cave anymore. It had a special magic in it, the day my son was about to be mature enough to know the truth it would disappear, so every day it was getting weaker and today it finally had fallen.”
She continued for a while, we were gathering somethings to use on a travel. But for some reason I had a really bad premonition. Why she is not getting things for her? Why she is sending just me? I couldn’t ask because we had little time.
“Son, look at me.” I looked at her beautiful eyes. “You know I love you and your father really loved you too.” She kissed my forehead and helped me put my sword at my waist. “Now is time. Your mother can’t go with you… the humans don’t like witches or mages, so you need to run. As fast as you can. Go to the north!” She pushed me outside of our back door. I slammed on the door wanting to get her come with me. But I couldn’t. I felt like I had no power. But I knew my mother used magic to close hide me.
I go north, but I came back when I saw it. Black smoke was coming out from our home. I came back, but couldn’t get near to our house. I could just hide on a bush or a tree. I climb a tree because humans don’t look up. I was hearing everything I could.
In front of our house gate a cage was there. Inside was my mother, she could have broken it if she wanted, but when my eyes had fallen on her hands I could see magic sealing chain. It was all over her body. It made me very mad. I could hear a voice coming from my mind to kill that bastard humans that dared to come here.
The animals we had were killed. They broke our house and made a bonfire with the wood. They started putting my mother on a big stake. And all over her they put some kind of fuel to make the fire burn hotter. I could see that my mother had seen me. She was crying. All the things we had were burned as well. They thought she was alone but the clothes gave away that there was one more person at the home. But the fire was already on and with no magic they couldn’t stop it, but it would take a while to get to my mother. I wanted to save her, but… I couldn’t use magic! My mother sealed my magic before I had left! Why she did it? Why the only person I know had to die? Why the only family member I had is dying before my eyes but I can’t use anything I had learned to help her?

I could only see her off. The humans wanted to know who lived with her. But she never spoke a word. She was crying, but she had a satisfied smile on her face. I knew what she was thinking. ‘I saved the life of my most beloved one, so I can die happy.’ But I knew she is regretting it. She was crying, I know she wanted to see me grow up, she wanted to see her grandchildren, and if possible her great-grandchildren.
The humans wanted answer, but she gave none. One of them made some start to look for another person that could had lived with her. It was when my mother gave up. She yelled with all her power. “RUN! THEY WANT YOU! GO AND DON’T LOOK BACK! YOU NEED TO BE ALIVE!” It had so much power that everyone froze up. I looked at her for the last time. I was crying as well.
I had given up to try to save her. She had done everything for me… and at the last time I will never be able to see her again… I jumped at the trees. And run to the north.
Eleanor PoV
He had left. I made everything I could have done. I could have gone with him, but the humans would chase after us. I know they would find us and if he was with me he would had to suffer much more. It is better to send him of when I’m dying, because then he can be happy in the future.
The flames started to get to my feet. I yelled. It hurt so much! Why the humans need to hunt the mages and witches so fiercely? They can’t see threat we are people like them are?
The flame burned all my body. And it hurt like hell! I wanted to kill them, but they had sealed my magic so fast that I could do anything. Then it finally came. The darkness came to my mind. I could sense it, everything was black and them he had come. In all his majestic form a red dragon, his scaly tail weeping the ground. When he stop near me he kneeled and turned human. Zenon was before my eyes. I could see him again. Now, in the world of the dead we could finally meet again. My body and mind died, but here I was like before, the time when we were together.
“Eleanor. So you came here… It was fast. I think you gave everything he would need before coming here.” I just nod. I run into his chest. I could finally smell his rusty body smell. How I missed him. “You know, he had matured. He now will be a proper Red Dragon. But for some reason he can use magic…” He look playfully to me. He knew I would teach him magic. But he wanted to tease me a little.
“And you? You made him a sword! And he was just born! You was so excited that it turned red that you wanted him to test it…” I put my finger on his chest. He smiled to me.
“You know, I missed you so bad that I have to look to you all day.” He kissed me like before. “And now is time to us to look at our little son.” I giggled when he said that.
“It’s time to look over him now.” Then the darkness took place. But I could feel that we were bounded to be together for all the eternity.
