Chapter title: New life...
The boy looked around him in confusion but soon he started to feel a horrifying pain all over his body along with rumbling noise from belly because of starvation. He checked himself after composing a little only find lot beating mark on body, some burn mark probably from torture. Both his feet and hands was in shakle even neck was chained to the rod of the cage. Suddenly he felt sharp pain inside his head. More unbearable than his pain on body and he staggled, moaned and goan in pain clenching his head with hand, fingernail impelling his skin blood sipping out along with screaming.
Hearing scream and noise someone came to check probably the captive holder. Seeing this he loudly made noise with hitting iron rod on cage rod but not seeing any stop in the boy's action he unlocked the cage to check and after failing to stop him despite serve beating he gave up and left. Soon came back with another man.
"This thing have gone nuts. Should we discard him? Already got the money they gave to take him away. Now selling or not doesn't matter.."
"Are you stupid? Taking money from nobleman but doing the work if found out we will be dead!!"
"Then? Kill him now and throw the body in river or some shit?"
"Seems like he's lot of pain too sould we just do him a favor by strangling and release him from mortal world's suffering? Hehehe"
"Hahaha..man you are something to make even joke about killing and making it look like noble deed!"
"We can gouge out his eyes, tongue, heart, teeth too after it.."
thumbs up* "yeah it's good idea. Those thing soecially of innocent little children fetch a good price on black market."
By the time they finished deciding the boy stopped struggle but now unconscious and breathing heavily almost grasping for air.
First guy said to the other one" what are you waiting for let's get started. The sooner the better and faster will we be able to sell them. Processed goods fetch more than selling it to slavery!!"
So after opening the door both entered slowly and second guy climbed on the little boy's chest then slowly put his finger around his neck then without any preior notice started strangling the boy.. Slowly the grip titened and the boy woke up to save himself.. Trying scream for help and using his fist to push away but to no avail as the weak and starving body had no strength. Soon the boy stopped struggling and whole body claimed down without any movement..after the first man conforming the breath using his two finger on tip of boy's nose signaled the second guy to stop.
The second guy asked, "is it not breathing?"
First guy replied, "yeah it's done..let's hurry with the harvest while the body still warm and not stiffen.."
"Okey pass me the knife"
They first gouge out the boy's two eyes then followed by tongue then teeth then cut open the chest to harvest the warm bloody heart.
After one and half hour of rush job they were done. Then they put the valuables in special lucid jar and the disfigured body in straw bag so as to carry. After all these they hurried carriage to a distance mountain range with forest.
After 6 hours ride they stopped first at a city to sell the goods at underground black market then started again towards their mountain range forest to dispose of the tragic ill-fated boy's body.
Another 2 days of ride they reached the destination and dived dip into forest before unceremoniously dispossing the body in a stream then fled in fear of alerting nearby monster.
Meanwhile in the mountain range approximately 200 km away from the stream in a huge cave a gigantic dragon opened his eyes in panic. He is a 12 thousands year old dragon king nearing his lifes end left dragon island to visit his ancestral land the main continent that his ancestor fled after loosing racial war to elves. Now human is the overlord but dragons with sparse population have no ambition to conquer it.
The reason he paniced is apparently he had a vision of doomsday like future and within this nightmare the world gave him mission of saving someone crucial to the plot and that needy is near him. He could sense him. He was in dilemma as to save or not cause save him he need to use high being like dragon's exclusive forbidden magic 'Resurrect ' that lower being can't use, even among elves only high elves can use but they too need the help of extra sacrifice but for dragons only his life is suffice.
Being already on certain death bed he choosed to do it but this interested him a lot. But since he will not be able to witness it either way he decided to put extra efforts in this event.
Shaking body then jumping forward he spreading his wing flew out of the cave along with destroying for ultimately no reason what so ever.
After a little over 2 min he landed directly on the stream. Then gazed fell on the water while narrowing his eyes in disgust and anger...
