Confrontation about the past

Chapter: "Confrontation about the past"

As Ryu walked away from the village, his mind heavy with the weight of his recent actions, he found himself deep in thought. Yizo, the divine dragon presence within his mind, stirred restlessly, his presence a constant reminder of the mysteries that surrounded them.

Ryu: "Yizo, we need to talk."

Yizo's voice echoed in Ryu's mind, his tone calm and measured.

Yizo: "What is it, Ryu?"

Ryu: "I need to know more about Akaryu. About your past."

Yizo's silence stretched on for a moment, his thoughts hidden behind a veil of secrecy.

Ryu: "Your reaction toward the symbol on that demon"

Yizo: "Akaryu is my older brother, Ryu. We are both sons of Emperor Tenku, ruler of the Sky. But our paths diverged long ago. even though i picked the same path after"

Ryu: "What happened between you two?"

Yizo: "Akaryu was always consumed by hate and greed. He coveted power above all else, and would stop at nothing to achieve his goals. When our father chose me to succeed him as chief, Akaryu's jealousy turned to hatred."

Ryu: "And then?"

Yizo: "He attacked me in my sleep, seeking to eliminate me as a rival. But I was not defenseless. I fought back, and in the struggle, I left him with a permanent reminder of his failure. his slitted eye"

Ryu's eyes narrowed, a flicker of determination burning within them.

Ryu: "And your father?"

Yizo: "Emperor Tenku saw the truth of Akaryu's nature and cast him out, disowning him as his son. But Akaryu wanted revenge, swearing that we would meet again."

Ryu: "And the symbol? The angry dragon with the slitted eye?"

Yizo's voice grew somber, his memories clouded by regret.

Yizo: "It is a symbol of Akaryu's wrath, a reminder of the darkness that consumes him. He wears it as a badge of honor."

Ryu: "I see."

With a cold determination, Ryu's mind raced with thoughts of what yizo said. He knew that Akaryu posed a grave threat, not only to Yizo but to all who stood in his path.

Ryu grinned with a evil grin and said

Ryu: "Then let us face him together."

Ryu's will to face Akaryu burned like a raging fire within him.

Yizo: "You can not defeat him yet, get stronger"

Ryu: "I will, I got this.. time to throw hands with a Emperor"

As Ryu set up camp for the night and sleep in his tent, the System's voice start to talk.

System: Hello! Seems like Ryu is sleeping. Let me tell you about the Emperors!

System: "Long ago, in a time, there existed beings of unimaginable power. These beings, known as the Emperors, were immortal rulers who had ascended to the peak of magic. Each Emperor possessed a unique magic, a power beyond imagination, and wielded it with impunity."

Ryu Mumbled in His Sleep: "Apple Pies.."

System: "Uhm, Anyway as i said Emperors has Unique Magic, It was either Created by them or Transferred by someone, Like Yizo Who is holding Destruction Magic Created By Kurokaji Tenku's Grandfather, Which means if Yizo wanted he could be a emperor!"

Ryu Mumbled in His Sleep: "Apple Pies Emperor.."

System: "Is this guy even sleeping.."

With a chuckle, the System continued its explanation, unaware of Ryu's amusing ramblings.

System: "But becoming an Emperor is no easy feat. It requires mastery of one's magic, unparalleled strength, and unwavering determination. And even then, the path is fraught with peril."

As Ryu's snoring filled the air, the System's voice faded into the background, its words a gentle lullaby in the night.

System: "But Ryu is on his own journey, He might be able to become a emperor himself who knows"

Ryu snoring gets louder

System: "Anyway time for me to go!"

As dawn broke and the first light of morning filtered through the trees, Ryu stirred from his slumber.

Ryu: "Huh? What was that voice?"

With a yawn and a stretch, Ryu emerged from his tent, his eyes shining with determination.

Ryu: "Time to get moving. Akaryu won't defeat himself"
