22 Mada's decision

The clear and crisp sound of the slap being given to Rayious jolted him awake from sleeping, the moment he saw Mada who was standing on the side he became angry "Why the hell would you that to your older brother do you not have any respect for me?"

Mada looked at him with contempt and disdain "Don't even mention me giving you respect, at the very least sleep with decency first before mentioning me respecting you."

Mada remembered how Rayious have been sleeping earlier and instantly he felt the anger in his heart rising. In all truthfulness he wasn't that angered about the way Rayious was supposed to act as a big brother, what made him angry and made him fuming with anger was that the image of the magnificent Dragons which was inside his head was instantly shattered the moment he saw the scene of Rayious sleeping like that.

But also remembering the fact that this was his now brother, and the older one at that and was even decided from them playing that damned game he was furious so he gave him a big satisfying slap, and after he did it he felt really refresh.

[Is that how a dragon act? I am the younger one? And it was decided by that shitty game? Why the hell am I the younger one? Aaaa, but the slap was really amazing though venting all my anger at that one slap was amazing.]

Rayious was furious from what Mada did to him and he didn't even give and shit about decency, he was fuming with anger from that slap. But he wasn't able to do anything to him because Mada was suddenly asking him a rather dumb question.

"Did I have my right arm when you were in control of the body?" Mada's question was really dumb making Rayious somewhat suspicious if the question have any other meaning to it.

But after thinking about it for a while he through that thought on the back of his head and gave an answer to Mada's dumb question "Of course you did."

Mada's mind started contemplating [Then it had been restored already when Rayious got to control the body.] Thinking about this his train of thought drifted on the time of that great battle which happened in the back garden of the manor.

[What really happened there? It should've happened the time when I blacked out, but just what really happened.] Mada contemplated on the various events that happened before he blacked out but all of the major things happened his vision turned black and he wasn't able to remember anything [I have to find some clues regarding what happened that day and in order for me to do that I have to gather information.]

[The elves do not have any information regarding Purple Cloud City though so my only choice is either I go and ask for the higher ups that was supposed to meet me later or get out of here to search for my own answer.]

Mada was deep in thought so Rayious who was on the side wasn't able to do anything to him because the look that was on Mada's face was serious indicating the seriousness of what he was thinking.

Rayious didn't have anything to do so he went around Mada and observe him for a while before going out of the independent space of the soul imprint.

The moment he got out he was still rather illusory and see through but after some time he became mere 'real' Rayious sigh [My body is just the mere shadow of once was and the power that I have from when me and big Sister Riste was inside the Origin Domain.]

Rayious gave a long sigh, he had been a magnificent Dragon of the past but now he was only the size of Mada's arm and his strength which used to be unfathomable even fir him was now only a meager eaely stage Earthen realm strength just like Mada.

He then looked at the body of Mada that was only covered with a green robe, Mada was only able to get inside the independent space of the soul imprint with his soul so his body would naturally be in the open like he was meditating.

Rayious observe Mada who was seating cross legged and when he saw the clothes that Mada was only wearing he also felt somewhat embarrassed for himself [How can he wear that? And he calls me the one without any decency?]

Rayious scolded Mada in his mind and without any more pretense he started to fly towards the gates of the detaining cell. When he got there he saw the guard that was left by Leo to guard him and Mada and called out to the guard.

"Hey you."

The guard head him and went over to check why Rayious was calling out "What is it?" the way the voice of the guard was not hard and strict but rather it was respectful surprising Rayious, so he also gave a respectful answer to the guard.

"Can I get some clothes for my brother? Anything that can he can wear would be fine so his body won't looked like he was robbed."

The guard only nodded his head and went to one of the room in the old building and took one set of clothes and passed it one to Rayious. After giving Rayious the clothes the guard turned around and went backed to his original position.

Rayious thanked the guard and went to Mada's side and left the set of clothes there.

Without anything to do Rayious once more went to call out for the guard.

Inside the soul imprint

Mada who was thinking hard on what he should do in order for him to find his parents while trying to figure what happened in the Purple Cloud City became tired so he sat down on the ground and calmed his mind.

While seated on the ground he noticed that Rayious was not in the soul imprint anymore so he deduced that he was outside already. But when he was getting up from his seated position he noticed some white hair on his lap, the white was not that weird for Mada because he had a mixed of black and white in the past.

But this time his hair was now completely white surprising him so he immediately got out of the soul imprint. The moment Mada opened his eyes he immediately forgot about the matters of his hair because in front of him was a Dragon stuffing his face with fruits and some meat.

Rayious who was eating watched Mada being walked towards him and grabbed one of the fruits and the moment Mada grabbed one of those fruits he became angry. "Hey, what are you doing grabbing food with that kind of attire don't you have any decency? Changed into a set of clothes first then you can eat."

Rayious said all this with a grin plastered on his face, [Hehe who doesn't have any decency now?] it seems like even if he didn't care about decency he was still rather angry and Mada knows it but he didn't have anything to say back.

Because when he was about to say something Rayious have already threw a set of clothes towards him making him unable to say anything. So he could only thank Rayious and sucked it up when the words he threw to Rayious was back to him.

[This guy holds a grudge at things this petty? Then the slap I gave him earlier he would definitely give it back to me some day in the future.]

After Mada finished changing into the clothes that was given to him he still wore the robe like cloak that he was wearing earlier.

He then walked towards the food that Rayious was enjoying and when he got there, the meat that was on the ground was now missing and only some of the fruits remain. Mada didn't say a word of complain and only ate quietly on the side.

The meal of the two was quiet and no other sound was heard except for the sound of the biting a fruit and the like. The meal lasted for 10 minutes and after they finished eating Mada turned to Rayious and spoke "Big brother listen."

Rayious heard him and showed an indifferent face but inwardly he was already celebrating [Oh yeah, seems like he has accepted me as the older one and he said that he wouldn't accept it and only a temporary fixed.]

"Let us get out of this place and let's venture the continent." Mada spoke with conviction in his voice.

Rayious who was only voicing out his celebration inside his head was now flying all over the place with excitement, in the past he had longed for the moment when he got out of the Origin Domain to see and experience many things on the world.

In this subject Mada and Rayious was the same, before the attack happened in their manor Mada had longed to go into the continent to make a name for himself and experience many things in the world. But this time he was not only thinking about going out to have an adventure but to also look for his family.

When he was eating with Rayious earlier this idea came to his mind and immediately he became exited because it was like killing two birds with one stone on this one. And the prerequisite that was set by his father in the past have already been met and thinking how strong his father have been and how much his knowledge and experience was abundant he felt the words of his father should hold true.

"But we have to get out of the territory of the elves." Mada didn't forget to add the current problems they were facing of being held captive. Before he thought of this idea he was actually having fun when he was having some fun and considering the point that he didn't felt any kind of hate towards him by Leo and the others and only a slight wariness he didn't care that much.

But the moment the thought of him finding his parents sprung inn his mind he became excited and immediately he tried thinking of ways on how he could get out of the elf domain.

Rayious and Mada became silent then they heard some commotions happening outside the old building the two of them became curious to what was happening outside so they unconsciously walked towards the noised.

Then they saw Leo walking in the old building towards their direction. Leo reached the cell where they are being held and only the bars was keeping the distance away from them then Leo spoke "The Queen and the 5 Elders are calling for you and wants to meet you."

The moment Leo talked about Mada meeting with the elf Queen the people outside started an uproar.

"The Queen want to meet with the prisoner?"

"Seems like the rumors of that young man being a Dragon was true, or else the elf Queen wouldn't meet him personally. Seems like this young Dragon is quite important."

"Wait when did we have a Dragon here?"

"Have you been living in a cave or something? The dragon that was in the forest that the enforcers warned us about was the Dragon that suddenly appeared out of nowhere is the one they were talking about."

"Oh so that's how it is."

Different kind of gossips was heard and Mada who was inside the cell didn't care for it much, he only gave a slight nod to Leo and spoke to him "Where will I meet the Queen?"

Leo spoke to him "We will need to travel a long way in order for us to reach where his Majesty lives. The whole elf kingdom have thousands miles of forest and mountain ranges as its land and the Queen with the 5 Elders of the elf race reside in a palace there. And currently we are in between the elf palace and the outermost parts."

"Then how will we reached there? Considering what you just said we would need days for us to reached the elf palace." Rayious asked a question impatiently he was itching to go on an adventure at the moment and the Queen of the elves seem to be messing up his plans.

"Don't worry we will only need a moment to reached the Palace about an hour." Leo reassured them.

Mada and Rayious was doubtful from what Leo had said, the time they needed for them to reached the village from the forest earlier was long and this time Leo was saying that the travel would be faster than the one earlier.

"Then let us go, I also wanted to meet the Queen." Mada's eyes was twinkling with excitement and anticipation.
