"Greetings, Lord Naga." Hextor said and smiled.
"What happened?" Naga stood up and asked.
"I talked to him. He wanted to follow you, My Lord. Hextor said and stood up as well.
Naga smiled and nodded. 'I didn't expect but I think that this is good.'
They went to the valley again. The man, who is still chained, looked at the two and smiled.
"Release and Break." Naga commanded.
Multiple scrolls floated in the air and the chains transformed into inscriptions and runes then entered the scroll. After that, the scrolls closed and entered Naga's ring.
"I heard that you wanted to follow me." Naga said and looked at the man.
The man was massaging his right wrist when he heard Naga. He immediately kneeled.
"Thank you for removing the chains. I appreciate your kindness, young noble. Sorry for attacking you before." The man said.
He continued, "Yes. I hope that you would give me the chance. Hextor told me that you are creating your underground family and I would like to pledge my loyalty.
"I see. It is good tha...." Naga was not able to finish what he wanted to say because he was astonished with what happened next.
The man bit his lower lip and the blood that came from it floated in the air then transformed into a magical light red paper.
"Dragon Blood Contract!" Hextor was surprised. He didn't expect the man to be this serious.
Naga was greatly surprised hearing what Hextor said. The Dragon Blood Contract is the official agreement for a master servant relationship between human and dragon. It was magic created by an ancient dragon who followed a human. Ancient dragons viewed it as the most disgraceful magic created. Dragons are supposed to be higher beings than lowly humans.
"Wait." Naga said.
"I hope that you will accept this contract. I am previously a human before using the door. I was supposed to be a human still after using the door but my thirst for power and the pure bloodline gifted by the door dominated my human soul." The man said.
Naga nodded and accepted it as respect to the man's decision. He looked at the blank floating red paper. Hextor told him what to do and how to activate it. Using his blood, Naga wrote on the paper. After that, the paper burnt and turned to runic inscriptions and entered the man's heart.
"Thank you, Master." The man bowed.
"Draxus." Naga called his name. He learned it from the scroll.
"Yes, Master." Draxus stood straight.
"Thank you. I will not waste your talent and trust." Naga smiled and threw a stone to him.
"Untaited Dragon Heart!" Draxus and Hextor were surprised. They didn't expect Naga to give such a precious gift.
"Th.. thank you, Master!" Draxus was really happy.
"Cool. Use it. We will leave tomorrow." Naga smiled and said.
They went back to the manor. Naga didn't have a good rest yet and decided to use this time to relax and sleep. Hextor prepared things he or their group might need. Draxus is busy in consuming the Dragon Heart's magic.
The morning came and Naga woke up. He took a bath and put his commoner's clothes on then he went outside the manor. He saw both Hextor and Draxus waiting. Draxus is now wearing a suit given by Hextor. His long blond hair is now short and he trimmed his beard.
"Good morning, My Lord." "Good morning, Master." Both of them greeted Naga.
Naga nodded to them and asked, "Are you ready?"
"Yes. Done with preparation, My Lord." Hextor said.
"Once we leave what will happen to this place?" Naga asked curiously.
"Since the the Draconian Heavenly Door will leave this place along with me, the last dragon here, then this place will disappear." Hextor said.
He felt sadness however, he knows that it is better than the realm being used by the church or other group specially thst he knoes Naga doesn't bother himself with this realm's utmost future.
"I see. We'll go then." Naga responded and threw an item in the sky.
It was the item given by the old bishop that can open a portal forcefully. A huge magical portal appeared in front of them after a few minutes. Naga entered first then Hextor and Draxus followed.
When the guards noticed that someone is activating the portal forcefully, they immediately sent the report to the old bishop and sir lucas. They were astonished since Naga returned earlier than what they expected. Now, they are not sure if Naga was successful or not. Both the bishop and the knight waited at the front of the portal full of expectations.
'Zzziiiinngg' The portal is now fully activated.
Naga appeared and saw the guards along with Sir Lucas and Bishop Luciano.
"How are you, Sir Lucas and Bishop Luciano?" Naga bowed and asked.
They were about to respond when two other people appeared. They were surprised when they saw a kid with crimson hair and a tall middle age blond man. The guards were surprised too and drew their weapons.
"Wait! Halt!" Lucas gestured and gave command to the guards.
"Don't be disrespectful to young Naga's group." The old bishop said and smiled to Naga.
"Thank you, Sir Lucas and Bishop Luciano." Naga bowed.
Both Draxus and Hextor bowed too but didn't talk. 'As expected with the men and teritory of the Holy King!' They thought after looking at how powerful the place is along with its people specially the old man.
"I am happy to see you in good spirit, Young Naga." Bishop Luciano smiled.
"Good to see you back. How was it? Sir Lucas smiled and asked.
The guards are looking at Naga full of anticipation as well.
"All good. Here." Naga showed them the small box with nine dragos design. It exuded strong magical presence.
"Activate the third layer protection barrier!" Sir Lucas commanded.
They already activate two layers of protection barrier to limit tje magical presence as preparation in case Naga will bring the door but didn't expect it to be powerful like this.
"This... The real door. You are truly blessed, Young Naga." The bishop smiled. He held the box and put it in a golden magical chest.
"Also this young boy here is Hextor. He is a red dragon. This man here is Draxus, the last man turned into dragon by the door." Naga introduced both of them.
'What?' The guards and Sir Lucas were stunned. The old bishop already knew that both of them are not humans.
"I am Hextor. I give my respect to the Holy King and his secret order." Hextor said.
"I am Draxus. Greetings and respect to the Holy Dragon King and his secret order." Draxus said.
"Greetings. We are honored with your great presence." Old Bishop Luciano said.
Sir Lucas and the guards greeted them as well. This is also their first time seeing dragons.
They went to another hall where all kind of delicious and magical dishes are being served for Naga's victory celebration. The people from Naga's mansion were escorted here as well as requested by him. When his servants heard what happened they all felt really proud and happy. They all went to Naga to congratulate him and talk for a while. They only stop when the food and drinks arrived.
"You did great contribution to us, Young Naga. I am thankful to God that you are safe." Old Bishop said and smiled.
"I am happy to contribute. I also got a lot in return. Also, your clan is truly good to me even though I didn't join it and I am thankful to that." Naga said then started eating again.
Sir Lucas is looking at him full of admiration and respect. He knows that with the addition of the two dragons at his side he became more powerful but this young man doesn't have any arrogance in him.
