Looking up into the sky you would see a large flying creature breaking through the clouds and the wind, flying with graceful aerobatics and flexibility. On this creature, which is a purple colored dragon, two individuals rode on it with cheers on their faces.
"I wouldn't have thought I would ride a dragon in my lifetime, it's exhilarating". Jarnathan said.
"Don't get full of yourself, I'm only allowing you because of Iode ". Tony replied.
"Even though I'm a descendant of Igor and Barbara?". Jarnathan asked.
"Yes, even though ". Tony replied.
"So because Iode inherited my ancestral father's powers he gets to have your attention? I didn't know dragons play favoritism?" Jarnathan said.
"Any intelligent creature plays favoritism". Tony said to him.
"Right, say Iode, have you thought of what I asked of you " Jarnathan asked.
"..."
"Yes, I have, but the truth is, I don't know, though, joining the Zenivia family would solidify my position even more and you will get to have the successor to the family but I'm being conflicted, because of what the original five did". Iode said.
"What did they do? I don't remember them doing anything evil". Jarnathan asked.
"It's how they got their powers, l hate it, l regret the fact that I got to inherit his powers, Tch ". Iode replied sadly.
"Oh, you've got to know that they got their powers from Valier?". Jarnathan asked.
"Yeah"
"!"
"You know about that?!" Iode asked surprised.
"It's not only the successors that knows about it, the family head's of the original five also knows"Jarnathan replied.
"I know how you feel Iode, l felt the same when I learnt about it, while I was sad and mad at them, I was glad they didn't let such powers to corrupt them, they made betterment for the Wizard kind, which is what I also strive to archive". Jarnathan said.
"Joining us wouldn't change that fact and also the fact you were chosen as his successor, it's your destiny ".
Iode was not happy of that fact, he has been thinking about doing away with the power, just few days after learning of it. While sad, he had an idea.
"Say, I'll join the family if you promise me this...". Iode said.
"And what would that be?".
"Promise me you will find a way to remove Igor's powers away from me, whatever you do with it afterwards does not concern me ". Iode said
"You wanna let go of Igor's powers? Is it because of where it came from? Or do you have any history with demons"? Jarnathan asked curiously.
"... As a matter of fact, I do, l believe that's how I got Igor's powers in the first place ". Iode replied.
"Hmmm? You weren't born with it, that's new, most successors of Barbara were born with her powers, Rohanes Zenivia, was Barbara and Igor's second child, he inherited Barbara's powers, but he was born with it, this is the first time I'm hearing this ". Jarnathan was truly surprised.
"..."
"I'm not sure if I'm surprised, Igor always seems to be doing his own thing contrary to his fellow group, unlike the others, he probably gave up some of his soul and hid it somewhere, where nobody would ever reach... Well that's until I found it "
"You found it?". Jarnathan asked.
"Well, I haven't told anyone, and my parents don't even know much detail about it, it was when I was around 5 years of age "

In year 82 AI, at the outskirt of Illusium city, there were numerous bushes and overgrown trees that surrounds her. Within this evergreen foliages, there saw a child who puts his face on a tree, counting.
"97, 98, 99, 100, ready or not here I come". A red haired boy said.
He went around the forested area, it didn't take long to see a leg sticking out of a bush, he smiled and went around the bush.
"Booo!!!". He shouts
"Argh!!!". A voice of a child cried, he gots out of his hiding place all filled with fright.
"Hahaha, found you Iode". The red haired boy said.
"Hmm, even if you found me, must you scare me". Iode pouts
"Hehe, don't cry Iode, it's just for fun ". the boy said.
"Why am I always the first person to lose, Harold you are always searching for me first on purpose ". He continued to pout.
"Sorry Iode, you just happened to be the first I found, okay, why don't we do this, why don't you go find another hiding place and I'll search for you ". Harold said.
"Wouldn't that be cheating?". Iode said.
"It'll be cheating if anyone finds out, since there's none... We are free ". Harold replied.
"Yay, thanks Harold!".
Harold watched Iode as he went into the forest covers, he smiled, then he turned around to look for the other children who went to hide.
Moving with eagerness through the forest, he looked around to find a suitable spot for hiding and alas, he found one. He found rocks lumbed together, he went there to look for a spot, luckily, there was a space that looks as if it was made, specifically tailored for the young Iode.
He cheered and went in-between the rocks to hide. Staying there for some minutes, he noticed an outcrop of a chest just where he hid.
"Hmm? A treasure chest? Ha, I wonder what riches I'll find in it". He happily said. He began to dig the surrounding dirt of the chest, he kept digging and digging till he managed to get the chest out.
Iode was quite surprised with the size of the chest, it was small, smaller than the chest he has heard of or even seen at the harbor. He carried it with just one hand and it was also surprisingly light.
"What kind of treasure chest is this". He pondered.
He waryingly looked at the chest, then he shrugged his shoulders. "let's see what kind of things are in it"
He opened the chest, then a small freak looking humanoid jumped out, stunning Iode for some seconds, but he didn't panick. The humanoid creature landed and growled at him.
Iode looked at the creature bewildered, he watched the creature growl at him with mesmerization, he has never seen something like it before. He mimicked the creature then laughed.
Suddenly, the miniature creature lunged at him, giving him fright and letting him open his mouth wide, then it entered his mouth. Iode screamed then he began to convulse aggressively and rapidly, he was hitting his body on the floor and on the rocks.
"Harold, I think I heard him from over there". A green haired girl said, pointing to the rocks lumbed together.
Four children listened to her and followed the direction. Getting there, they could see Iode having seizures and moving uncontrollably, it gave them a scare.
"Iode! What's happening!!!" Harold panicks
