"Are you seriously not worried? Why did you let it go in the first place! I told you he was dangerous! If he obtains Belet's beastial will"
Duke Erin smiled at Amelia who continued to nag at him.
"Seriously what's funny, you're not taking anything seriously. You might blow your cover, think of how Rein would fill if he finds out you've been using him."
"Don't put it like that Amy... Rein, I first chose him because there was no other person. It was necessary or else our world might turn out like theirs. But there's beginning to be more to that boy."
"But you could just take care of it yourself, or is there something you are not letting me know."
"it's not that easy Amy, even though their bunch of copies their strength is not a joke. Besides they are not related to my existence does not mean they can't defeat me. Remember how
"He was just a juvenile then and you're way stronger than that brat even when you were a juvenile, you're the strongest."
"No, I'm not" Duke Erin sipped his tea.
Amelia sat down, "I want to ask..." She looks at Duke Erin.
"If you know it's sensitive don't ask"
"Why did they do it"
"uhh...?"
"the Estelers why did they create a copy of themselves and disappeared"
Duke Erin looked at her, "tell me which would you prefer, you create and govern your creatures or you create and also create your creature's governor then watch them play tag with each other"
Amelia nodded slowly, "oh I see... It all comes down to having fun, the same reason those fake a$$holes sabotaged a whole world."
"Both the real and fakes, they lack the sense of responsibility we dragons have. That's why I will use Rein to drag them down, everything has been set in place for the time to come. When he arrives from the central artic will move to the next phase of the plan"
"Master..?"
"uh..?"
"To be honest, I'm worried. Of course, you are the wisest of all dragons but you're also the oldest. Your time..."
Duke Erin smiled at her, "how are the sisters doing these days.
"They miss Rein but they are normal as always"
"too bad I must now return to the Capital, the battle is getting hot..."
"is it okay for you to get involved in trivial human battles"
"I love it, it keeps me busy"
Amelia smiles, "it's good to see you happy especially since rein got into this house, and I hope he doesn't disappoint you."
"Honestly, I hope so too"

Rein opened his eyes but at a different scenery. He looked at the dark plains filled with bodies, it looked like the after-effects of a dreadful war.
'my whole body feels completely... different' Rein looked down towards his legs. He screamed and staggered in disarray. He tried to scream out but instead heard a neighing sound. He then looked at his four black legs and looked around.
Everywhere was dry and not a living soul existed but apart from human bodies, there also were bodies of what he couldn't identify, some hard one, some tails, they were of different varieties but he could at least tell those creatures weren't human.
The body began to move on its own, even though Rein's consciousness was in the body he had no control over the body.
'is this a test... Perhaps Belet's childhood'
Rein stayed put as he watched Belet wandered around in the dry plain alone. Rein could fill his emotions whirling up but he had no reason to feel like this, so he knew it wasn't his emotions either.
Obtaining a beast will is not hard, the beast allows the tamer to see its will. Beast Tamers when obtaining beast will don't often get sucked into the consciousness of their beast most times the beast puts its tamer through a test to deem him/her worthy and beast tamer then begins to fill their will after obtaining it. But it was different for the demonic beast, Rein was spectating an important phase in Belet's life, in knowing and accepting Belet's will, he will then become a beast tamer. So he was seeing the phase of how Belet derived his will.
Beast will could be obtained from the beast's core, but one hard to kill a beast to get its core. Thus obtaining beast will by killing a beast is termed beast stigma.
The young black horse finally started running towards another horse that laid on the floor.
'what is the meaning of life? Is this how life should be? Death? Power? Hatred? Blood? Greed?... What do I exist for'
These thoughts swirled inside of the horse as it ran towards the dead big horse and began to rub against its large body, due to the way it acted it seemed like it was his mother that laid. The young horse continued to think.
'Are we supposed to kill, I don't want to kill, I don't want blood, I don't want sorrow'
Even though death was a dreadful part of nature, it was still a part, death played a crucial role in maintaining the cycle of life. Thus wanting to go against death was Belet sin to nature which broke his chain.
The young horse looked with determination, 'i will stop it, I will stop death'
Suddenly a large gigantic body dropped in front of the horse. Rein could not do anything but think.
'what the... a dragooooooonnnnn?'
Rein had never seen a real dragon but of course, he was familiar with the term from his world. But to see it himself left him in awe
'so they do exist in this world after all'
The golden dragon that landed in front of the horse spoke with power and elegance, it's golden skin shined brightly even in the dark.
"Listen little one, you all are pawns of the ones that seek to destroy for fun, but be my pawn at least, I will grant that I shall not make you walk against your will"
The scenery Rein was looking at changed, and he was staring at a pure white ceiling.
'What the hell was that?'
