My Dragon System

Chapter 427: Ray True form
Seeing the black liquid infront of her had brought back bad memories, not just any memories but painful memories. The last time it was scene was during the Avrion tournament when the dark guild had used it to turn the students into some type of mindless zombies.

In the end, Slyvia's brother Mathew managed to save most of them by using his water magic to extract the liquid out of them, but still many had died that day and they had taken a big hit.

"As I said, I'm sure you have noticed that the empire seems just a little too perfect. In such a wealthy establishment there woudl usually be a divide of the wealthy and th not, but here I can see no such thing. At first it seems like some type of Utopia but when digging into things it docent appear to be the case at all.

"Not too far form the empire from time to time, we would pick up people who were infected with this exact stuff. Leads went form one to another which eventually led us to this place." Mathew explained.

"Now, I'm not asking for your help or anything like that, but I just don't want a repeat of what happened at Avrion to happen here. We are still unsure if it has anything to do with the emperor himself, or if its just someone who is hiding in the empire. It's best if we keep this meeting as short as possible, and all I will say is stay safe, stay aware and be prepared for anything. If possible never travel alone or in pairs."

With the quick message delivered, as Mthew said there was no time for catching up, as he had already walked off without giving his sister a proper goodbye.

"What timing for all this to happen, is it seprate movements moving, or is this the Shadow plague doing. Perhaps this is their plan all along. The empire is located below the kingdoms, and the shadow continent above. If they take over the empire, then all of the kingdoms, including the red wing kingdom will be surrounded and crushed.

"If it turns out that the empire isn't working with the shadow and if they can't beat it, then we might have to give a helping hand to our enemy."

With all these thought in her head, Slyvia made her way and started to head back into the in.

Meanwhile, the pretty lady who was at the table continued to chat away with Kyle. Originally she was interested in Ray when he had appeared, but that interest had quickly disappeared when she realised it was almost impossible to talk to him.

With every question that would be asked, Ray would reply with one word answers, and eventually she grew tired of this thinking nothing else was progressing.

"Well, why don't you go up ahead and enter your room Ray. " Kyle said as he pulled out a key with a wooden tag on it, and handed it over to Ray.

The wooden tag had a number on it, showing which room he would be staying at. "I'll stay here for a little while longer and see if anything happnes." Kyle said with a wink.

The reason for Kyle doing this, was to see if the person who had entered in after ray was truly following him or just giving him strange looks for some reason. After all ray had become a type of celebrity overnight, so maybe someone was just fascinated with him.

As Ray went to the staircase to go up to his room, a large man was stood by the stairwell, and he would take a look at the key before allowing one to go up. After passing the man, Ray continued onward to his room.

Then, after a few seconds, the person who had entered with Ray tried to follow in after.

"I guess he really is being folowed, but who is this guy?" Kyle thought having never seen him before.

When Roy approached the staircase, the large man blocked his path and held out his hand.

"Room key." The man asked.

"Oh, I'm with the gentleman that went up earlier, do you mind letting me past." Roy tried to ask.

The large man looked at Roy up and down, and could see that his clothes had holes, was ripped partly here and there. 'Probaly just a bum trying to get in for free.'

"Sorry, no room key, no entrance, even if there are multiple occupants per room, we comply and give each guest their own key."

Scornign at the man, Roy wished he could just burn him here and then, but he knew better when he was in a kingdom like this. So instead he decided to head to the counter.

"Excuse me, I would like a room for the night." Roy asked.

"Sure, that will be two silvers." The person asked.

Two silvers for a room was a lot to ask, but it seemed like everything in the empire was more expensive compared to the other kingdoms. Fishing through his pockets, Roy eventually brought out some coins, and when he opened his plan, all that could be seen was five bronze coins.

The person looked at Roy for a second, before calling the guard over and a few seconds, later. Roy was seen flying through the front door and being thrown out on the street.

"Maybe, we don't have to worry so much about him after all." Kyle thought. "Now Ray, for what I have done for you tonight, you can that me later."

Entering the room, Ray could see that everything was quite well made. Although the rooms were expensive, they were certainly worth the price that one would pay for them. The floor was made out of marble, there was a luxurious bathtub and two beds that were perfectly made.

Ray was tired after fighting for most of the day, and he decided that now he was in his own room, he was free to take of his beast gear, placing it back into his diminesninal space.

Taking off his top, he wished to change into something more comfy, and when looking at himself in the mirror he could see he was still disguised as Nes.

Still tired form everything, eh decided to cancel the transformation and for a while just be himself. His black hair started to turn red, and the scales on his arm, including the little patches could be seen.

This was his current true form that he hadn't see in a while. "Will I ever turn back into a dragon."

"Ray!" Slyvia said, having opened the door, and she couldn't keep her eyes off of Ray's body. For more reaosons then one.
