AFTER ONE MONTH
It was the day the training came to end and Ducan's body became suitable to handle half of Draco's powers. So they made a contract on that day(An equal contract) by using the crystal that had Draco's power.
" Ducan ,we have successfully made a contract now you will be able to use my power" said Draco.
" I know, I've been waiting for this day" said Ducan with a stern face.
" You've gained my powers but it will take sometime to fully use this power right way. you now need to train with these power" said Draco and again "Now we can both travel to your home and after resting there we then again need to start the preparation to take Etheus horn from the deepest part of this forest".
" Can we not go now?.It will be easier.." questioned Ducan.
" We can't, your body is not in better condition to fight yet..
Ducan remember you need to rest to fight better, you can't keep up when your body is wasted" answered Draco.
" I... understand " agreed Ducan.
"Ducan you have done alot in this past months so I will give you a gift" Said Draco.
" A.. gift??" said Ducan.
" yes, follow me" said Draco.
Ducan followed Draco on the top of the cave.There was a space which had a pond surrounded by green trees and while the sun was setting down. when Ducan reached there only a pond came to vision. So, Ducan asked "Where is the gift?".
" There is it" replied Draco while he pointed at the pond.
Ducan agained asked " What a pond ?? How that this be a gift"?.
" The pond is not a gift. Just watch.." replied Ducan.
Ducan didn't understand what Draco had said Ducan as Draco said just watched him. Draco then used his fire breath and the flow of fire went into the pond which made that pond like a hot bath.
Draco said " Ducan bath inside that lake. it will not do that much of good but you will fill relax and the tiredness will disappear".
Ducan nodded and started to took of his clothes and went inside the pond. The whole area was surrounded by a thick while vapour form the excess heat. While Ducan bathed inside the pond. it took all of his fatigue. it dissapeared like there were no tiredness at all.
Ducan questioned " Draco how is all my fatigue dissapeared?".
"oh.. it's because of my fire breath I have added a healing power". answered Draco while bathing beside Ducan.
" Draco it is the best gift ever" smiled Ducan.
They both took a long bath. After that they returned to the cave and slept the night.
Morning came and Both of them began to move out from the cave but there was a big problem. Ducan thought to himself " If I were to walk around with a dragon it will be a problem, Even if that dragon have a size of a puppy". While he thought that Ducan looked Draco and Draco looked at Ducan thought " What??" and blinked his eyes two times.
" What happen Ducan?. We are going to be late for the train" asked Draco.
" Oh...it's just..I have a request" replied Ducan.
" What request?" questioned Draco.
"Can you change your body as another animal. It's just seeing a dragon can create a huge commotion when people see you" answerd Ducan.
Draco then used his magic and covered his wings and changed his colour to green which made Draco looked like one of reptile species whose size is of a baby puppy.
" It's good right ?" curioused Draco.
"yeah" said Ducan.
They both then walked towards the town to get to the town. Ducan was a little worried that people might saw Draco as a dragon but no one even looked at them because having a companion is not a new thing. Eveyone had them. So they reached the train and traveled to the one of the city called Lapen ( Ducan's home).
Ducan and Draco reached at the door of their apartment. Ducan started to rung the bell but no one answered. It seemed to Ducan that no one was home and they hadn't received Ducan's letter. So Ducan took his spare key from the bag and reached his hand to the lock..... All of a sudden a noise came from the house. it was as if someone was inside the apartment. The sound lasted for 10 seconds and it stopped and not a single sound came after that. Ducan thought that it was suspicious So, Ducan quickly opened the door and Saw.... that his mother and Mia had decorated the home to welcome Ducan and he sighed out of relieved.
Draco was right behind him so he laughed " hahaha×3 Ducan, your face was so funny". and again continued to laugh.
"Haha so what?" said Ducan while he moved his neck down to see Draco and Ducan again came back to staight position and asked " What are you two doing? and why are you on the floor Mia?".
Replied Mia" We were just preparing for surprise to welcome you and while decorating I tripped ".
As Mia was speaking Ducan's mother looked at Ducan from head to toe. she was surprised herself that Ducan's had changed so much. His blacked hair were long, his build was good, His face looked quite tough and He had grown up alot.. but his clothes were all ragged then Ducan's mother said " My My son what happened to you my son you've completely changed in these pass months" while Mia agreed.
" Hahahah she said you looked change" said Draco hilariously.
" You are having fun ha... just wait" said Ducan.
and continued " Mia I've bought a pet here take it".
Ducan lifted Draco and handed over to Mia While Draco screamed" Ahhh.." . Mia became so happy that she squeezed Draco and said " Wow so cute.. it's so cute" and continued to pat him.
" No... No Ducan help me out. it's hard to breath" said Draco.
It seemed that no one was able to hear Draco so Ducan smirked and said " Mia, Draco is saying he loves it when you squeeze him hard".
As soon as Mia heard that she began to squeeze him hard while Ducan that to himself " It took everything of me just to train for three months and I've suffered alot. Now it's time for you Hehehe".
While Mia squeezed Draco. Mia had smiled and Draco had Cried.
After that Ducan talked to his mother and sister and had dinner with them. While having Dinner they laughed together.
After dinner Ducan and Draco both returned to their room. Ducan walked towards his bed and sat down while Draco began to questioned
"Ducan now what are you plans after coming home?".
" I do have a plan, first we to visit the office of hunter examination to get my ranked change" answered Ducan.
"'Ranked change....??" agained questioned Ducan.
" yes it means that I am now an E-ranked hunter so I need to pass the test by dueling to get my ranked changed" answered Ducan.
" oh yes I'm familiar with ranked but if you duel
that means people will know you have great power". said Draco in a concerned manner.
"No... I'm only interested in B-ranked not higher and I don't need to fight that hard so I will not use your fire magic instead I will use my wind magic" said Ducan.
" But why a B-ranked though?" asked Draco.
"Because to enter the dungeon as A-ranked of the forest of Crest, I need to be eligible" replied Ducan.
"Ducan... I know that you have trained these pass three years diligently and you have become strong but it's not good enough you need to train more from a good master who can teach you to use elemental powers. you only know fire and wind" Said Draco.
" Yes, I know very well that I'm not strong enough but I'm atleast at the B level. So, I will be able to get B- ranked just by using wind magic". said Ducan.
Draco agreed with Ducan and didn't questioned further because Ducan knew himself that he is not strong enough and accepted it and also when Draco saw Ducan's face, it seemed clear that Ducan already knew what he was doing.
" So, When will you take the test?" asked Draco.
" We just came here today so after three days. For now let's help my mom in her shop" replied Ducan.
So night came and they slept through the night and For every morning Ducan helped his mom in her sweet shop and in evening both Ducan and Draco went for walk and shopping where Ducan showed Draco new things and At dinner Draco only ate Apple pie as he loved the apple pie made by Ducan's mother. After this Apple pie became Draco's favorite food So for the last three days he ate apple pie in breakfast, lunch and dinner while everyone thought to themselves..
" How can one eat apple pie all the time".
