Somewhere in the skies, something is piercing the sea of clouds at an astounding speed, a speed that surpasses the speed of sound by many folds.
It's a dragon mounted with a man who was holding onto something or someone. It is a child. The child was sleeping, covered in red, fluffy towels comfortably. The man looked at the boy and a smile escaped from his mouth, then it turned into a dark expression as he remembered the things that happened a while ago...
A few hours before....
Inside of a treehouse.
"It better be an elf. or else I will not acknowledge him"
A man who happened to be the father of the mother giving birth said.
"Don't be like that even if it becomes a half-human, or a human does it change the fact that his grandfather is you?"
The man's wife commented.
After hearing that everyone present there who are all elves except a man stared at the woman like she was looking at a rare animal.
Noticing their gazes the woman sighed then left his husband's side and went to have a conversation with the sole man waiting near the door with closed eyes.
"Let's talk shall we?" The women said.
"What do you want, Siriyana?" The man who was Simon inquired.
"If we don't talk now the child will potentially die..." Siriyana continued.
"Do you think there are people who know about the child's lineage and still have the guts to attack him?" Simon Dared
" Yes, there are."
siriyana confidently said.
Simon's expression turned solemn.
"I am listening"
____________
'Hey, Simon. We are here...'
Suddenly, he heard a voice in his head, it's was none other than the dragon he was riding. His name is Yggdrasil. He is an ancient fire dragon.
'Then what are we waiting for let's decent'
Simon said when he looked at the mountain range which is covering a vast landscape. when he closed the gap he noticed a village which is not far from a small city. He then keeps on descending until he reaches a house that was neither luxurious nor poor.
knock! knock!
drrrrr...
The door opened instantly.
"They are here!"
A woman in her early 20s with green hair and a pair of green eyes jumped toward Simon. When he tried to Dodge, the woman passed through him, Or so it looked but now the woman was holding onto the kid.
"Awwww...
Aren't you the most adorable, cute, and beautiful little girl....! " She yelled cutely and then hugged the child tightly.
"umm.. you know matilda the she you are talking about is a he," Simon said with an awkward expression.
"ooh....Really?" She asked after a while.
"Really," Simon replied
"No problem. Then it will be a gender-bend! hehe." She commented smiling nicely.
"Hell no! He is my great-grandchild"
Simon warned with a not-so-friendly tone.
"Now now. Calm down father and stop teasing him Elder matilda." Suddenly A man was in his early 40s said he has a round face toned body smooth blonde short hair with greys, a matching colored beard, and a pair of yellow eyes.
"What's the point in living if I don't tease my beloved little boy toy. " Matilda said with a smile on her face while carefully hugging the boy in one hand and holding a pink little furry wrap dress on the other which appeared out of nowhere.
"You are crossing the line," Simon stared at matilda coldly then his eyes started glowing and suddenly the air started turning heavy.
"Am I now?" Matilda speaks with a sensual smile. Her eyes are glowing with a green light and the grass around her is growing at an abnormal pace.
Sigh!
The middle-aged man sighed.
"Calm down you two or the child will wake up. And if that happens I will not allow any one of you to hold him again."
.....
Both of their faces turned pale when they heard that.
"How could you say such a thing, David!"
They both said in unison.
"Although I am tempted to keep on going and stop you from doing anything to my great-grandchild. I will not let that happen at the cost of his sleep" Simon said then he turned around.
"It's not That I care about you or your great-grandchild either it's just that I will not wreak havoc in this village. Hmph!"
Matilda pouted.
"Now give him to me. By the way, what is his name?" David inquired.
"His name is Reiji"
Simon said.
"That an unusual name alright."
Matilda commented.
"These were his mother's final words"
Simon silently muttered.
"It sounds a pretty good name to me."
David smiled
"Reiji....
Reiji Scarlet Lionheart"
