Chapter 39

Cayn appeared on the edge of Shiro's mountain.

He kept smocking alone.

It didn't take long until the light of the sunrise brightened the forest.

Suddenly the figures of Shiro and Nu appeared behind him.

"Go," said Cayn coldly.

They disappeared.

---

The royal road, in the outskirts of the forbidden forest.

An extravagant carriage followed by many others filled the road to the capital.

Hundreds of full armored knights extorted them.

In this particular carriage sat the kings and queens of the Yamato and Roz kingdom.

Strangely an unknown person was sitting beside them.

The ride was silent.

Suddenly the unknown person looked in a certain direction.

"What's going on?" asked one of the kings.

The person didn't respond. But clenched his teeth madly, and jumped from the carriage, disappearing at an immense speed in the same direction.

The kings jumped too and followed, making the carriages and knights stop in their tracks and wonder.

The queens settled down the confusion and asked to rest for a moment.

The kings and the unknown person made their way to the deepest parts of the forest.

The person stopped, looking in the same direction.

"Fuck," he said in rage.

The kings didn't dare question anymore and stood there silently.

Suddenly something crashed in front of them, making the kings brace themselves and cover their eyes.

They opened them to growling sounds.

Looking in the direction where was the unknown person.

There stood a massive golden dragon.

They didn't seem surprised but they were still taken aback by the insane pressure he exuded.

Looked around again.

The dust and smokes slowly faded, showing the figure of the black panther Shiro, grinning with his sharp teeth.

"Shiro!" screamed the dragon, trembling on the ground.

"You're hurting my ears now," spoke Shiro.

"What is the meaning of this!"

"Can't I come to say hello to an old friend?" Laughed Shiro.

"Don't give me that crap! That was killing intent!"

As soon as the dragon finished his words he opened his mouth wide.

Charging up thunder from his golden scales. His goldish aura roared with him.

It shone brightly and beautifully.

"Don't blame me then!" Spoke Shiro furiously.

He took a deep breath, filling the darkness from his shadow to his mouth.

His dark aura roared, clashing with the dragon's.

The kings watching from the side were blown away by the huge impact.

They screamed in hope for these two beings to stop.

their cries didn't reach the other's ears.

The ground and wind around them soared uncomfortably.

Until a feeble sound of a finger flick resounded in the entire forest.

A shockwave from where the sound came from made the beings' auras disappear.

Making them look at each other dumbfounded.

The dragon suddenly turned to stare at the distance, where slowly two human figures appeared, walking towards them.

Cayn's face appeared, followed by Nu, the blue-eyed woman shying behind him.

The kings were silent in front of this scene.

"Nu?" Asked the dragon.

She didn't answer him. Her scared eyes stared at the ground, fidgeting.

The kings' eyes widened. The god of water Nu was here too?

They looked again at the man standing in front of her.

"You must be the third prince," spoke the dragon formally all of a sudden.

Cayn seemed in a bad mood, he didn't raise his eyes to look at the dragon.

Shiro slowly walked behind Cayn, turning into his human form.

He did the same as Nu, looking at the ground.

The dragon stared with a completely baffled expression.

He also turned into his human form without saying a word.

And it was only then, did Cayn meet his eyes.

Cayn had golden dragon eyes, and there stood before him a golden dragon with golden eyes.

Strangely this beast couldn't keep maintaining eye contact with Cayn for more than a second.

"Is your carriage big enough?" Spoke Cayn coldly as he lightened another cigarette.

"O-oh yes. And my name is Ryujin. The thunder god," answered the dragon.

Cayn looked at him coldly before walking away to where he came from.

He walked past the kings without saying a word nor sparing them a look.

All of a sudden he halted.

"Fine weapons you got there," As his bloody eyes turned to gaze at them.

"Oh thank you," they said in unison.

They didn't know why but they were about to bow for his voice to stop them.

"You will be late."

They just nodded.

No one could utter a word and just let him go.

He waved signaling to Shiro and Nu to go with the others, disappearing after that.

And it was until he left that they turned to leave with the three gods.

The kings and these gods went back to the carriages without saying a word to each other.

The knights couldn't question the appearance of those two people next to their kings so they didn't say a word.

The carriage ride was silent.

Whilst Shiro and Ryujin were meeting eyes from time to time.

The queens learned from the kings about what happened, these people's identities, and the appearance of Cayn.

And so everyone was quiet for the rest of the road.

---

Cayn was standing alone, at the edge of a mountain, staring at the carriages passing.

He was smoking, watching a carriage's door opening, for a man to jump out of it and disappear.

He raised his eyes to stare at the sky.

All of a sudden a figure crashed behind where he stood.

For a big and bearded, light-skinned man to appear.

Cayn didn't turn.

The man stood there angrily staring at him but was taken aback by his words.

"You are... Why would you," he hesitated.

Cayn turned around slowly.

"Leave the introductions. King Salman, father-in-law, you should know who I am by now." Cayn grinned.

The man smiled, "Oh, Prince Cayn. Quite the killing intent you used to call for me."

Salman's dark red aura appeared, raging furiously.

"I like your style son. But you will take responsibility." He disappeared. Appeared behind Cayn. He went for a strike giving birth to fire gauntlets stuck on his hands.

Cayn's cigarette disappeared. Held his arm to the side of his face. Clenched his muscles. Blocked the blow without care.

They both smiled.

"What about this!" Screamed Salman as he threw a series of mad punches.

Cayn took a hissing breath.

Bended his waist.

Then punched in return.

The entire mountain blew up.

The king, finishing his move, stared at Cayn surrounded by ruins.

While Cayn had a small grin on his face.

Salman started laughing as he walked up to him.

He put his hand around Cayn's shoulder and started walking with him.
