Lasarth has been traveling for a couple of weeks towards the human kingdom, however he quickly got bored. At the beginning he was happy for the adventure, nevertheless it got boring without anything interesting happening. So he started training his magic and tried to increase his mana pool by meditating. Also he would check out the inheritance information he got and would skim through it and read the interesting information. It was like having a personal library in you mind!

Lasarth: haa.....this is boring. I need a partner or something to keep me entertained.....Oh, how about i get myself a pet!

As Lasarth found a new goal to distract him out of his boredom , he started to search for anything peculiar that could catch his interest. Thus he started walking deep into the forest, however not too deep. There are always strong magical beasts that could even cause a headache to dragons.... so he prepared himself for the worst.

Lasarth: Why does this forest feel so relaxing??? Hm....there seems to be a huge amount of mana inside this forest. Ill need to research that soon, i wonder if its related to the ........hm whats that?

As  Lasarth noticed something up ahead, he started walking faster. However he made sure not to make noise as much as possible. He didnt want to face something too powerful. As Lasarth made it to the place where he found the noise he found 20 corpses of mutated wolves and some human mercenaries. They all surrounded a giant three headed beast that looked like a dog.....The beast looked powerful and was enormous, the fur it had was as black as night. Its razor sharp claws looked more like sharp crystals not bones! It was a bit too much to take in.....

As Lasarth was staring at the beast being surrounded he suddenly noticed a young boy riding a horse stepping in, his looks weren't too bad. However his gaze was filled with arrogance, he even sneered at them for being so pitiful!

Prince James: Lets get this over with i just want to get the child as my pet, so go kill that beast already! Or you wont get any gold!

Mercenary captain: As you command! LETS KILL THAT BEAST MEN! OUR BROTHER ALREADY SACRIFICED THEIR LIVES FOR THIS!!!

As soon as the captain finished all the mercenaries got back to work and tried their beast to end the beast for the gold! They must take the child and give it to the prince to finish their job.

Lasarth: how sad....to kill the beast just for its child to become a pet......hmm is that beast looking at me??

The beast looked at Lasarth with hope and then did something truly remarkable...

Cerberus: Mighty Dragon! Please save my child, even though you are young however i know you will protect my child if you gave your word. Ill drive the humans out by sacrificing myself, i hope you will give your word that you will protect my child!

Lasarth was shocked how the beast talked to him in his mind, nevertheless he thought about it and he nodded to the beast.

Lasarth: I will protect it with my life, i promise you that. Thats if you manage to drive them out.

The Cerberus was overjoyed having its child being protected by a dragon, it even thought about how the child might be able to bring back their kind into this world. After thinking about the the Cerberus started to glow and a huge influx of energy started to build up everyone froze!

Personal knight: MY PRINCE THE BEAST IS GOING TO DETONATE ITS CORE WE MUST LEAVE!!!

The knights didnt give the prince a chance to speak, before they grabbed him and started running back the capital. They cant stay here, however the mercenaries were unlucky all of them were swallowed by the light and then....

BOOOOooom

The explosion destroyed the areas where the battle had happened. The mercenaries were all burned to the bone. Only ash was left from them nothing survived the explosion!

Lasarth stared with his eyes nearly popping out, he didnt believe the beast would succeed. He started walking towards where the beast stayed.

Cerberus: My child you need to go with the dragon and leave this place.....Ahh i can feel my organs decomposing...Mighty dragon, i hope you will take care of my child she is called Dia.

Dia: MOM!!! PLEASE DONT LEAVE MEE!!!!

Cerberus: My child you need to grow and become stronger than this foolish mother, i should have never came her in this form....My child you need to learn about our past and ancestry come here.

Dia: But......mom please dont go.....

Dia came close and the Cerberus brought her paw and touched the child's head, light started to form and it seemed to be going toward Dia as if being absorbed by her. Lasarth was just standing there watching with wonder. After a couple of minutes the light stopped.

Cerberus: My final gift is my remaining essence it will help you evolve and hopefully make it possible for you to transform into your human form. Dragon may i know your name?

Lasarth: aha....you didnt tell me yours but since you are dying why not. My name is Lasarth.

Cerberus: Hahhaha Lasarth an interesting name, my name is fria. Ill give you something as thanks for taking custody of my daughter....

Fria takes out something that looks like a necklace and gives it to Lasarth.

Fria Cerberus: This is something our great ancestor created, supposedly my kind originated from the beast that lived in the underworld. The guardian of the gate where the souls pass through, however we never confirmed it. This sword evolves with the user and is nearly indestructible, a powerful weapons it changes its form to that of necklace infuse some of your blood to make it yours.....

After that the Cerberus Fria took her last breath and died with a sad smile. Lasarth then changed to his dragon form and burned her corpse to make sure no evidence would be found and quickly left with the child Dia.

Dia: Mother.....Wahhhhhhhh

Lasarth: SHUT THE FUCK UP!! YOUVE BEEN CRYING FOR 3 DAYS!!

Dia: but...bbut my mother died.....Wahhhhh

Lasarth: So what will crying do?? Rather than cry remember her image and who did this to her. Make sure to get stronger to take your revenge on the humans, make sure to make them pay! Ill do the same, when im powerful enough.

Dia shut her mouth and secretly made a vow to make the humans pay and grow stronger she forced herself to stop crying and she slept.

Lasasth: sigh....what an annoying child. Still i did give my word to protect her to the Cerberus or whatever they call her kind. Yet its interesting a guardian in the underworld.....hm if shes powerful enough she might be a guardian for something in the future. If she's not ill keep her as a pet i guess.

As they continued on their journey, after a couple of weeks Dia started to shine. Lasarth was shocked, because he knew what that light meant.

Lasarth: hoooo....seems like i underestimated this beast....

As the light fades a girl stands out, barely the age of an adult. She looked around 17 years old with black hair and black eyes. However her body figure was alluring, her chest size wasnt bad either the size looked closer to D cup. Her skin flawless and pale white. A stunning figure if i might add.

Lasarth:.....well you look like you are going to get me in a lot of trouble, due to lustful men.

Dia:...EH!!!!

Lasarth: what?? here are some clothes were them and stop screaming.

Dia looked for a mirror, but she couldnt find one so she went closer to the river that they were already close too. As she looked at her image she was shocked, she looked beautiful. Still she got confused why Lasarth didnt have any interest in her....

Lasarth: anyways lets go, we are getting close to a human settlement. We need to find some information on the humans and get some books on their history.

Dia nodded and they quickly left several days later they finally arrived to their destination a human city called Lutania.
