In the deep forest morning sunlight was touching the ground from small gaps between trees. Birds were chirping and the sound of water that was flowing nearby in the river was very clear. Five days already passed and they still were in the forest

Azazel was resting under a self made small hut. He made it using some woods, mud and Long dried hay and grass. Akiena was making breakfast form the vegetables grown nearby.

Suddenly Azazel heard a weird sound coming from the bushes.

"Huh? What was that sound?" Azazel wondered

He woke up and went near the bushes to see what was the thing that was making that noise.

"Should I go near it? Well if someone dangerous did came then I will use my time stopping ability to warn Akiena"

He proceeded to check what was behind the bushes.

"Whoa! it's a snake? And it looks like it's a baby, But why this baby snake has little 2 wings on his back? I should take it with me and ask Akiena about this little one!"

He took that baby with him and returned.

"Azazel! Where were you? I was shouted your name many times but you didn't answered! Now have you breakfast, I just made it" shouted Akiena

"Ahh...I'm sorry Akiena! I heard weird noises from that bush and then I found this Weird looking baby snake there." Azazel apologized.

"Whoaaa..!! It can't be! The thing that you are holding is not a snake but a Dragon of one of the Rarest species!! Just look at it's half black and dark red body with shiny red eyes." Akiena explained Azazel about the dragon baby

"Oh...A dragon? but how did this dragon baby end up here in forest this deep?" Azazel questioned

"It might be wrong but I think that some traders might have killed it's mother to earn a huge amount of gold as Female dragons become weak when their child is born. They might've seen this opportunity and killed her and the mother might have helped her escape before her death... Male dragons always go to travel and bring food for their family and Females protect their offspring"

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

Azazel became furious

"How unfortunate this world is!! There are many cruel people who only care for their benefits just like those royals..."

"You are wrong about that, It's not always about people being thirsty for their own benefits... It's just they also sometimes have no choice either as Dragons also attack their villages too..."

Azazel thanked her for telling these facts and told her to tell more about this world through out their journey...

The baby dragon was a female and it wrapped around Azazel. He already started to already like her and thought of a name.

"Hmm.. What should I call you?...Let's see....ummm....Yeah!! I got it! I will call you it 'Shwanzena' of the Eternal Hell'

"Well! what a fascinating name you gave to your little pet!"

"Oh... Thanks Akiena! Well Can you please bring food for Shwanzena too as she looks a little week, We should feed her the vegetables you cooked"

"Well we can't feed her Vegetables or even Meat itself... According to books that my father taught me I saw that the baby dragons only rely upon he milk for first 5 or 6 months and judging by her size she's not even a month old."

"What?? Milk? But her mother is probably dead! Where will we get the Milk from?" Azazel in panic asked Akiena

" Don't worry If we can find a special breed of Buffalo called 'Alasikat' they can feed its milk too...and they often can be found in the forests as well.."

Azazel had another special ring that can be used to store anything in it. He used his storage ring to store Shwanzena in it... And told Akiena to pack up important stuff and told her that they'll leave this place and look for the milk.

They both packed up and went even deeper in the forest for the search but unfortunately found nothing at all. There was no sign of any buffalo there.

"It's already two days! We still couldn't even even one buffalo! What should we do?" Azazel in discomfort asked Akiena

Two more days passed and they still were searching. The condition of Shwanzena was getting worsen day by day. Azazel was for first time this much worried for someone and He truly wanted to save her. He took the baby out from the ring and was looking at her with pure sadness in his eyes.

Suddenly time stopped...

"What the...? What is happening? I did not use my ability to stop time then how?

Azazel heard a voice in stopped time and he suddenly saw a bunch of Buffalos in his vision.

"I don't have time to think about the vision that I saw is whether true or not I will follow it!!"

Without finding out the reason why he saw this vision, Azazel along with Akiena rushed towards the location and two their surprise they saw a lake with a beautiful lady dancing in the lake. There were flowers all over the lake. It was a really a beautiful spectacle.

Azazel was shocked to see how beautiful she looked. Akiena was jealous and rushed towards her to ask her about buffalos but as soon as she approached her... Suddenly.....!!
