Chapter 15 - The Blood of Immortality

The origin of the First Dragon God was nothing short of mystical.

One day, he was discovered in the Sacred Dragon Cathedral, a child radiating an extraordinary power that all dragons could sense. As time passed, he grew stronger, surpassing any warrior in the realm. Yet, it was his kindness that made him legendary—a miracle of a dragon who couldn't bear to see others in pain.

Though a bit shy, he had a best friend named Shira. Together, they spent countless hours playing, studying, and even sleeping side by side. Both had unknown origins, creating a bond that transcended mere friendship; they were like family.

As Ares and Shira approached adulthood, Ares was designated as the next Dragon God, while Shira was being groomed as an aide to the king.

One day, a delegation of humans arrived at the Dragon King's court, led by their king himself. Ares and Shira were merely observers, curious about the proceedings.

The human king came with many gifts, but his true purpose was to seek help. He had heard tales of Ares—the miracle of the dragons—who could make the impossible possible. After being invited to explain his request, the human king shared his plight.

His only son had been struck by a nature's curse, an affliction that could only be lifted when the cursed individual's life came to an end. 

The Dragon King offered his condolences but cautioned the human king not to trust rumors; he insisted that no such miracle existed in the Dragon Realm.

Disappointed, the human king prepared to leave, but Ares, with his kind heart, couldn't stand idly by while someone suffered. He secretly slipped away from the Dragon Realm and caught up with the royal entourage.

Upon seeing Ares, the human king instantly recognized that this dragon child was extraordinary.

"Bring your son to me, and i will do my best to heal him" Ares implored.

The young prince, barely fourteen, appeared frail and weak, his pale skin a stark contrast to the vitality of youth.

Ares began to weave his unparalleled magic. The human king watched in awe, realizing that this child possessed power greater than any he had encountered—even more potent than that of the demons, renowned for their magical might.
