-[10,000 years after the great creation]-
A beautiful forest, ponds, animals, etc.—really? Yes, those things are here, but what about the deadly creatures? Beasts and monsters roam around, hunting for survival. After all, that's the law of nature. These monsters and beasts are hunted by powerful dragons, which are among the strongest of these creatures.
And how cool they look! Black dragons, crimson red dragons, dark blue dragons, etc. what impressive names. It's as if they won't even give a chance to humans for survival.
That's why people try to avoid them. Yet, humans act as if they are superior.
Seen comes to a particular place, a kingdom. It's not as large as a country, but rather a big village with a market, some fields, and a battlefield in front of a grand castle. This kingdom feels more like a market for death beasts because the castle seems to be just for show, while the entire kingdom is filled with markets and shops selling death monsters and weapons.
Only the castle feels like a livable place. It looks as though the castle is entirely made of metal, it's silver color shining like diamond.
Inside the castle, someone is washing a double-edged long sword covered in blood. The sword's true beauty is revealed only with blood. The person who is washing the sword, his hair is totally black and his skin isn't completely white, kinda light tone.
Perfectly resembles of a true warrior.
He is 'Xen'.
Then a kid comes there, he is angry. His voice is also showing that, "Father, I told you already that I want to go with you!"
Then Xen put his sword aside, looks at the him and smiled, "Ryan when I tell you that I won't take you with me?"
....
-[Name: Ryan
Age: 6 year
Understand: Not achieve yet
Hair colour: black
Father: Xen]-
....
Ryan becomes as angry as a cat and start punching Xen.
"I know very well that you won't take me!"
A small argument is enough to create stronger bonds between a father and son, and it's quite endearing.
Both of them are taking bath. Xen's body is covered in burning flame scars—his back, abs, arms, legs, and even his face.
Xen is washing Ryan as if he were a cute toy.
"Father you're one of the emperor among 5 kingdoms. So they must be respect you most. But I saw a different dream"
"Ryan your fate vision isn't something that l can deny. but nothing has happened yet that you predicted."
Ryan is just looking at Xen without saying a single word.
"Yes yes without a one. My bad, okay now you're done, go and prepared."
"Really? You're going?" He became so happy, like a playful cat, and ran out there joyfully. Xen looked at him with a smile.
Suddenly Then Xen feel something strange. At an instant His eyes become red which shows how much angry he is.
"Who the hell are you!!! How dare you to invite me for 'private dimension' !!!"
Xen feel a presence outside of the castle.
Xen comes out from his castle and look at the sky. With the charming atmosphere and beautiful views, his hair is floating. He is about to go inside the castle but Then someone appeared front of him.
"A royal Knight."
Then the knight showed respect to Xen by kneeling down his one leg.
"4th Emperor Xen you are invited to the great meeting. We will wait for you."
knight is fully covered with metal armour. While his yellow cape is floating around there.
"They already know I'll be coming because of my friends. It's common sense that a friend will definitely attend another friend's funeral. But why they try to remind me in 'private dimension' for conversation..."
Then the Royal Knight raised his head and looked at Xen.
"Hey is that.."
"Yes emperor Xen. Now the scetusion is totally out of control. And I don't know who tried to invited you on 'Private dimension'."
"Are you about to mention the previous night incident...?"
"if just you Allow me. 4th Emperor Xen."
"Come with me."
They both went inside the castle for a conversation that would completely change Xen's mind.
***
In the middle of the day, the sun's light reflects directly off the castle, making it appear like a shining piece of crystal.
Xen and Ryan comes out from the castle. Xen's red cape billows, casting a shadow over Ryan, resembling a protective father shielding his child.
Ryan looks back at the castle, its light reflecting off his smiling face.
"Father, as always, our castle is as bright as a star."
Xen's outfit is simple: a white shirt, black pants, a red cape and a sword.
While walking alongside the crop fields, Ryan looks at Xen with a curious expression, as if he wants to ask something. Xen notices this, but his expression remains unchanged; he continues to smile.
"Are you curious Son? Just asked me whatever you want"
"Dad it's you not me."
"Is it like that? Yeah, I'm curious."
Then Xen recalls something. A flashback of the conversation.
***
At the time when Xen went inside the castle with the Royal Knight, they were sitting on the floor with a pillow and a short table, or rather a desk.
Both of them were silent. They maintained their silence for some time, until the Royal Knight lifted his head. When he looked at Xen's face, he figured out something.
"Emperor Xen did you know something about him..."
"So his name is 'Tangson'... If everything you said is accurate, then he is stronger than I assumed. Of course, he definitely will be, standing in front of Yan-ly and my master at the same time and overpowering them. He also broke Yan-ly's protective dimension barriers."
It's probably first time for the Royal Knight hearing something like that from him. That's why Royal Knight become shocked
"Emperor Xen?"
"Yes you guessed it right, at that time he is way stronger than me. Probably stronger than anyone I know"
***
That's what Xen is continuosly thinking about. He is thinking about someone who doesn't even know him. Or probably know him better than anyone.
On the far distance from the castle. Xen and Ryan standing on the Top of a mountain. Wind flow become faster and faster. Atmosphere of the mountain top become heavy after a little while. And entire atmosphere became kinda silent.
Then Xen look at the sky, slowly take a long breath and clapp!!
The atmosphere become darker. Because too much 'Aura' released from Xen just for a single Clapped. Then Ryan become excited
"I know what will happen."
There's something rushing on their direction with too much speed.....
Then a Black dragon arrived front of them. The size of the dragon is too much huge. It's dark and intense Aura is covering the whole mountain top.
Ryan become so excited. Xen noticed his excitement.
"Let's go 'Ardss'. My 'Night Seeker'."
