Capítulo 9: Decisions
A/N: Welp been a while since I wrote something on here. I've recently got a inspiration of a new plot that fits perfectly with the old. So enjoy the story!
======================================
"Please oh Dragon Lord! Please take us under your wing!"
"eh?" Doragon opened his mouth in shock.
'Wait they want me to what!?' Doragon thought.
"You... want me to be your lord?" Doragon asks, the slaves on the ground shivered at the response.
"No master dragon we are too low, please accept as slaves for your bidding!" A slave yelled out. It was a middle aged man with messy brown hair with a broken beard.
"So your saying my efforts was in vain?" Doragon said, the middle aged man eyes widened in realization. He realized that Doragon wanted them to be free people not slaves.
"I am sorry Lord please be merciful!" He yelled again as he bowed hitting his forehead harshly into the ground. David sighed at the sight of him.
"Get up... all of you get up" Immediately all the humans stood up in slight fear. Doragon inspected the crowd infront of him. There were around 55 men, 85 women, but most disturbingly there were 170 children. Doragon turned to the lion beastman as a menacing aura wrap around his small body.
"Why are there so many children?" The lion beastman shivers as he grits his teeth.
"Most of the slave buyers these days either buy labor force or pets. But most people are not satisfied with old hairy humans. So they tend to buy younger humans as they are prettier and easier to train" Doragon tightened his hands into a fist after hearing the response. The lion beastman immediately took notice of this.
"Sir there are a slave caravan with thousands of human children next month, I can give you the time and place" The lion said weakly. Doragon snapped his head towards the lion beastman.
"Tell me" There was a slight reddish glow in Doragon's eyes.
"Nath Victory Road on the 7th month, day 18" The loin beast man hastily responded. Doragon closed his eyes for a second before nodding.
"Finn..." Doragon called out, the dragon perked up his head.
"Burn all the beastmen" All the beastmen shook in fear.
"But wh-" The lion beastman couldn't even finish as he was instantly burned into a crisp. All the beastmen started to shake in fear at the sight.
"RUN!" The bird beastman yelled, all the beastmen easily break the chains on their hands and started to desperately run away. Seeing this Finn started to gather energy in his mouth.
"Scatter! Scatter!" One yelled but it was too late. Finn opened his mouth releasing a wave of fire on the field. He didn't even need to move the wave as it completely covered the entire group.
"Stop" Doragon ordered, Finn immediately closed his mouth as the flames burn out. In place of the crowd of beastmen was scorched earth with not even a piece of ash. The crowd of slaves behind Doragon cower in horror of the dragons might. They used to be slaves of these 'higher' being and didn't dare even look at one of them. But now they are reduced to nothing infront of them. Doragon turned around to see the slaves stare at Finn in fear.
"Do not be afraid for he is the reason why I was able to free you" Doragon said, the slaves quickly calmed down and bowed down again. Each one banged their heads on the ground harshly. Even the kids followed what the adults did. Doragon shakes his head in annoyance.
"*Sigh* get up, I have to go soon" As if a water droplet disturbed a still pond, there was an uproar amongst the crowd. Everyone including some kids stood up and yelled desperately.
"You're gonna leave us lord!"
"Please don't leave us!"
"Take us with you!" Screams continued to roar through the air. when it reaches Doragon's ears it brought a ring that hurt his immature ears.
"Finn!" The dragon immediately took in a deep breath and roared.
"RROOOOAAARRR" The sound completely made the humans silent as they shiver in fear again. Unfortunately it also hurt Doragon's ears.
"Goddammit Finn!" Doragon said, Finn lowered his head in shame.
"All of you listen up here" The crowd continued to shivered as they stare towards Doragon.
"The reason why I can't take you is because there is no place to take you" Doragon explained.
"What do you mean my lord?" The middle aged man called out again.
"I only have a small little cottage in the middle of a jungle-like forest, the only reason I came out is to rescue someone important to me" The slaves showed a face of realization and started to despair. The middle age man from before came towards Doragon and knelt down before him.
"Sir dragon lord, none of us have a place to go, all of us here are stripped of our homes, families, even their own identities. If you leave us here alone we would starve as there isn't any forest for miles. Even if there was a forest it would be guarded by elves, beastmen, and monsters the size of buildings. Not to mention the fact we are currently in the middle of a large grass field swarming with races with malicious intents. If you leave us... it is basically killing us" Doragon complexion sank as he knew the middle aged man was completely correct. But then he had a thought that needed to be answered.
"First who are you? Second how do you know all of this? Last time I checked the last human kingdom fell 200 years ago" Doragon asked as he stares at the still kneeling middle aged man.
"My name is Diego Trynn. I used to work in a organization called the Freedom Warriors. We attacked weak slave caravans to free more people and try to revive and free the human race. Our leader is Trynn who went missing after fighting a beast named Silvar. Unfortunately we attacked the wrong caravan and we were all enslaved" Diego answered, Doragon became shocked at the reply. Although he barely knew about the basics of the world he knew how strong the races are compared to the humans.
Doragon looked across the crowd as he thought what he should do. He didn't have a place for them to stay and didn't know how to even bring the people to his home. Also not to mention the fact it would delay his plan to save his mother, who knows what could happen when he arrives later. Finally Doragon sighs for the final time.
"I choose..."
======================================
Cliff-hanger lol
Also if you didn't get the names like Nath, Trynn, Silvar. They are all Magic the Gathering cards. Nath is a legendary elf, Trynn is a legendary Human Soldier, and Silvar is a cat nightmare. Welp Enjoy the story!
p.s. if you want a specific dragon in this story comment here. I will try to make it fit but no legends for now, at least a very rare.
