Chapter 1:Aesur Clan

<3rd Person POV>

Eldest rose up on his throne.He looked like a man in his fifties,had white hair and white skin.A few wrinkles,not too much,but enough to show how old he was.His most prominent feature was his eyes.He had eyes that looked like gold and they glittered like one too.

He was sitting in a cave not-so-well-lit.A basic throne in a plain room carved from rocks.He called this place the winter palace.It earned its name because of constant winter.At top of a tall mountain of course it almost snowed everyday.Those of his descendants who had strong dragon blood in them lived here.Others?He did not care.He had millions if not billions of descendants.How can he look after them all?

After so many years,he had a descendant like him.He had dragon blood pure enough.How he appeared all of a sudden he did not know.But he was not going to leave him alone."TUESYR!"he roared.Tuesyr was the strongest among his descendants.He looked like a man in his twenties,he had looked like elder except that he looked young and he had black hair.

"Yes Eldest"said Tuesyr.Eldest usually sat on his throne all day,meditating.It was not uncommon for him to not speak to anyone for few years at a time.After all for someone like Eldest,years were nothing.Long ago all races had united against the tribes of demihumans.Eldest were their emperor.Strongest demihuman clan,Aesur clan.

"Go down the mountain.In west I felt one of my descendants awakening."said elder.When first time awakening dragons released a unique aura that called out for their elders.It was usually faint,but this one was strong.Elder could feel it so others definitely would.This world had individuals known as demigods.They were people just below a god.Among them Eldest was strongest.When they invaded the Aesur dynasty.Eldest fought and defeated them all,but demihumans were defeated.

In exchange for Eldest never going out of winter palace,they would allow spare demihumans and allow Aesur dynasty to exist.Eldest felt humiliated and would never accept,but he was the emperor of an empire.He had responsibilities.But from then on other demigods who suffered defeat in his hands grew bold.But they dared not touch him.They would kill his descendants when they awakened instead.

"Yes Eldest,I shall go and find him swiftly!"Tuesyr bowed and ran through the halls.Jumping off and turning into dragon he rapidly flew to west.Dragons called him Tuesyr the gold.Because every part of his body was as if it was made of gold.He understood seriousness of this duty given to him by Eldest.Sending him meant he was allowed to fight demigods.

He had found a young boy in Sunset mountains.He had expected to find him in a town instead."There must be strange circumstances,besides he looks absolutely exhausted.I should save him first ask questions later."He said to himself and grabbed young boy with his claws and took off.

I wake...It seems demon kept his promise after all.AURGHH!MY HEAD IS KILLING ME!It is like they are driving screws into my brain!Wait are those memories?Memories of this body?Every piece of memory flashes around in my head!

...Mother,I am scared,huh.I feel strange.This body's emotions are affecting me too much than expected.I really don't feel like myself too.Did that demon screwed up and put me in a body with a soul and I somehow merged with it?Who cares,I am alive.I open my eyes.

What the hell?I am inside a room a carved room.It doesn't really lacking in furniture.But it feels kinda plain.Not like I care though.But I am just a peasant's son.I should not really have this much luxury and it is not like I have a home either...Now I feel depressed and angry.But I am powerless...

Anyway lets get up.Wait!Wait!Wait!Is that me?I was supposed to have green eyes,brown hair and olive skin.I have white hair,pale skin and my most prominent feature,purple eyes that have an otherworldly shine to them.I have sharp features and even sharper eyes.I look intimidating,hostile and mysterious.

After having enough of seeing my face I get out of my room.I am in a vast hall.There are rooms all over.An old maid with cat ears sees me"Wait please young master!I will inform Lord Tuesyr that you are awake."she bows and walks away.Tuesyr?I remember being in snow dying.Is that the name of the one who saved me?But why did she call me a young master?I did not have one whit of noble blood in my body.If I had...

As I was contemplating"Ah I see you have awakened."came a young man with sparkling gold eyes and said"I am Tuesyr Aesur.Grand elder of Aesur clan."he looked at me now"You are also of clan Aesur.Aesur clan is the strongest demihuman clan as well as the strongest clan in the world.But do not be surprised being dragons this much is usual."he said with pride.Am I a dragon?What the hell?

"Are you sure I am a dragon?I am fairly certain I do not have dragons in anywhere in my ancestry."unless I was adopted I don't see anyway of me being a dragon."Eldest has millions,if not billions of descendants.every century one or two of them becomes a dragon blooded."Tuesyr said and looked at me with sparkles in his golden eyes."I expected to find you in a town or something what were you doing in a blizzard?"

"I was playing with bastard child of a noble.He drowned in the deeper part of the river.Then noble demanded our heads.Even if he didn't we were certain to die.My mother and father sacrificed themselves for me,so I escaped to only place I could,to mountains."I close my fists.Unshed tears in my eyes.I am weak!I could only run!I cannot even avenge them!I want to be strong!I want to kill him!I want to tear apart his spine!

"What is your name?"Tuesyr asks,a kind smile on his face and pity in his eyes.His hand caresses my hair.It feels good.

"Mithra." I answer him."My name is Mithra."I like name Mithra.It is not my birth name.But it is the name I gave myself.

"Mithra,you need to meet with the Eldest.He will give you three books containing techniques from his treasury and assign you to a brood keeper.A brood keeper is your master and the one who will take care of you.So regard him as your second parent."He says smilingly"You are among your kin,you will never be alone."

"I thank Grand Elder and benefactor for his kindness!"I say bowing.I know this is the proper courtesy in this world.

"When you meet Eldest,kowtow once and sit on your knees and say I greet Eldest.Do not speak unless he asks something from you.Do not be nervous I will handle most of the talking."Elder Tuesyr says.Eldest huh,it seems he is patriarch of our clan.I wonder how is he like?

"Your descendant Grand Elder Tuesyr,has brought you your descendant Mithra!"Tuesyr says bowing respectfully in front of the door.Behind there is the eldest,huh.Door is so huge,I think it was made for dragons or something.

"Enter."said the calm voice of Eldest.His voice is calm but it is very deep and loud.Doors creak open as we are going in.Eldest has a majestic aura and looks very lofty and proud.It feels as if I laid my eyes on a tall mountain whose head looks down on even clouds.He has white hair and shining golden eyes.Other than his wrinkles he looks similar to Elder Tuesyr.Oh,it should be Elder Tuesyr that looks like Eldest.

I immediately kowtow once and sit on my knees and say"I greet Eldest!"Eldest ignores me,Elder Tuesyr also sits on his knees and says"I greet Eldest."

"Tuesyr.My descendant Mithra is not worse than you.Impart him skills I imparted on you!From now on you are responsible for him.Until he passes the rite of maturity.Train him well."said Eldest and turned to me"From now on Grand Elder Tuesyr is your brood keeper,he is akin to your parent.Greet him."

I got up kowtowed to Elder Tuesyr once,rose up to my feet and sat on my knees my forehead on ground"Mithra greets Elder!"

"Good!Now Tuesyr I can tell you have a soft spot for my descendant Mithra.But don't be easy on him!Harsher the teacher,better he will learn.The more he rolls on ground higher can he fly.Dragon first lies down then ascends to sky."said Eldest in a pleased voice.Half of the things he said disturbs me.Elder Tuesyr won't do it right?

"Of course Eldest!I shall harden my heart to teach him!"Elder Tuesyr?You really don't need to harden your heart you know?I am fine like this..."Then let us begin Mithra!"I have a really ominous feeling.My sixth sense is screaming!Oh shit,I am screwed...
