Chapter 47: The Trouble Begins
Days after Elric dissapeared out of nowhere, right after the disaster he has caused; the human realm was in utter chaos.
The Guardians had been busy themselves covering up the disastrous events by wiping and altering human memories to show only the necessary information and keep the secret of the Dragon's existence out from the normal people.
Not even the expert detectives and savvy media personnel were able to avoid the memory altering abilities of the Guardians.
In the end, Elric's rampage was blamed for natural disasters like earthquakes and sudden tornadoes.
A few more days later, The Guardians made a more determined hunt against The Arkhans which lead to more blood spilled in both races. In the end, the Arkhans managed to flee again by mercilessly sacrificing their men, a classic strategy of the Arkhan Race.
Meanwhile, with the sudden death of Arthur, the Dragon King of the West, the Dragon race ended up with more racial conflict between the four regions.
After a thorough investigation, members of the Western Dragon race have traced Arthur's head is hidden not far from the Southern Dragon Region's area.
To make matters worse, the clean-cut on Arthur's neck was a signature attack very similar to Southern Dragon's attack and could have been possibly done by one the Southern Dragons.
And all their clues lead up to their most feasible suspect - Fargor, who also happens to be missing right after the great flash of the God-Reckoning Tribulation.
This suspension sparked the attack of the Western Region Dragons against the Southern Region Dragons in a brutal battle of Race!
The Western Region Dragons Elders demanded the South surrender Fargor in exchange for Arthur's life but the Southern Dragons decided to fight back calling the Western Region Dragons instead as liars and schemers considering that Fargor was the strongest and deadliest Dragon that currently existed.
With his extraordinary body alone, it should be considered as the most expensive treasure that can be used for a Draconic Fusion to evolve another Dragon's Power!
The Western and Southern Dragon Wars happened frequently in the Pacific Ocean, causing unusually strong typhoons and unexpected weather events as a side effect of the destruction.
But despite the southern Dragon's deadly abilities, they are greatly disadvantaged with the armored Dragons of the Western Regions who boasted their impenetrable defense against the assassin type Dragons of South.
Learning about the disadvantageous war of the Southern Region Dragons against the Western, Leah of the Northern Region who was the lone survivor from Elric's rampage decided to send help only to create an even bigger battle against the rich and proud Western Region Dragons.
Leah's help for the Southern Dragon ended up like a wood making the fire burn stronger!
On the other side, the suspicious intention of Lang's fire that ended up empowering the Mad Dragon Elric which ultimately resulted in countless humans, guardians, and assistant Dragon lives also made the Eastern Dragon Regions an enemy of the other three Regions.
Despite being the King Dragon, Lang and his whole family were decidedly executed by the Elder Dragons of the East followed by the sudden disappearance of the whole Eastern Dragon Race in fear of being hunted by the other three Dragons Regions for retribution.
Lesse and Lou managed to escape at the nick of time and tried their best to live while being disguised as normal humans with the help of a disguise relics. They both lived as ordinary students while at the same time, observing the events of the current wars between the Guardians and the Dragon Race.
Lesse, on the other hand, had thousands of questions in her mind on how everything ended up as it is.
She never expected her second attempt for the Tribulation of Light would cause an unexpected ripple effect that leads to their current situation. Her father and whole family line except her and Lou have been executed and they have to cover their Dragon Essence and live like ordinary humans to stay alive.
Her anger, hate, confusion, and madness all focused on a certain face she could never forget her whole life. It all started on that fateful night.
There is one person that she wanted to meet the most and that is the human who took the Ancestral Dragon's Essence before her- Elric.
"Are you thinking of that human again sister?"
Lou suddenly asked Lesse who has been cooking at the kitchen. Lou was wearing his school uniform and he was in the form of a young elementary student from the same school where Elric went before.
Lou's main purpose was to investigate Elric's background deeper and get a better understanding of his life and perhaps, a clue to where he is now. His only dream is to bring justice to his family by finding Elric and taking him down himself.
Despite Lou's calm and smiling face, he hides a scary and deadly desire to hunt Elric mercilessly.
"No. I am not." Lesse tried to hide her desire to find Elric before her brother.
She does not want Lou to be included in any more troubles after what she did.
She knew the power of the Ancestral Dragon which was beyond her imagination. Her previous glory and pride for being an Elder-Level dragon were like an ant in front of Elric's Ancestral power. She would rather have her little brother live a normal human life than losing it helplessly against that monster.
"I know you, sister. You wanted to find that man and ask him more questions right?" Lou asked her with a subtle but mysterious smile. Everything he has been talking so far would always hit Lesse on spot.
But lesse could see, the hostile glint between Lou's words. She started to raise her voice.
"I know what you are thinking as well, Lou! Whatever you are planning, please don't do it. Our father has made enough sacrifices to spare our lives. Have some respect for his last wishes and just live normally!"
And after those words, Lesse slowly recomposed herself and ate with elegance. Her smooth and silky white skin made quite a contrast to her long black hairs. She looked at her brother only to see him keeping up with that creepy smile.
"I am afraid that I will still find him." with a confident tone and smile, Lou added.
"And I will kill him myself and present his sorry-twisted body before the Dragon God's altar in revenge for our family."
"Lou! We talked about this! We are not even sure if he is still alive; even with that kind of power, The God Reckoning Tribulation must have dissipated his body into dust. So stop wasting your time!" Lesse finally lost it as she was about to stand up only to feel a powerful pressure that quickly restrained her from moving.
"Wait....this is.. Bloodline Dominance??!"
Lesse's eyes had a mixed feeling of fear, shock, and amazement towards her brother.
Bloodline dominance represented an even purer level o ancestral Dragon blood which gives a dragon more chance to break through for the third level of Tribulation of Light! Bloodline dominance can only occur once a Dragon faces a life and death experience and has gone through forceful mental evolution.
Tribulations of Light also serves as one way to purify a Dragon's blood to challenge the God-Reckoning Light and breakthrough for the Divine Realm just like that Ancestral Dragon.
This dominating force was the same restraining effect made by the Ancestral Dragon against her before she could fight against the Arkans. But now, her brother is showing a glimpse of this certain power.
Despite Lou's age, with his purer bloodline, he was actually as powerful as a dragon that has gone through the second tribulation or the Primal Vehemence Dissension stage which is one more step to reach the divine Ancestral realm!
However, Lesse could not help but worry as well. As a Dragon, knowing that he also possessed the Bloodline Dominance could bring a tremendous amount of pride that could sometimes put him to a situation he might fail to control.
It was the same situation that happened to her as she let her unreasonable pride as an Elder level Dragon that looked down at the measly humans. Lesse does not want the same thing to happen to her brother!
Suddenly Lou stood up with an imposing aura that continued to suppress Lesse's body.
"My instinct never fails me, sister. That man is still alive somewhere. I am sure of it. For the sake of our family line and for father's sacrifice, I will find him and kill that hybrid myself who stained our blood.That is my oath that I promised before father died."
Lou's eye showed nothing but unwavering determination and spirit fuelled by his desire for retribution.
