IS THE SEAL REAL? EPİSODE: 2

Leo accepted the offer made to him. The two continued walking for a while. Leo, who was admiringly exploring the parts of the city he had not seen before, was looking around with curious eyes. The old man who saw Leo's gaze

- Isn't it beautiful? It's probably different from all the cities you've seen so far.

L: Yes, I have been to many cities, but I have never seen such a beautiful one.

- I don't want to bore you too much or make you feel like you're questioning me, son, but you understand the importance of the questions, right? I need to ask them.

L: Isn't it related to the great depression? No problem, you can ask.

For a moment, pity and compassion appeared in the old man's eyes. He was at most as old as his daughter Marie or his grandson Jack, but the maturity in him felt like he was talking to someone his age.

- How long have you had the seal on your arm? How did you get it?

L: I also heard the previous stories, I don't know if this means anything, but I did not find this seal. I was born with it.

The old man was confused to hear this because even he had never heard of such a thing before. There must have been a reason, but what?

- There was definitely a reason, but I don't know why yet, but I've never heard of anyone born with a seal before, son. Do you know what that seal is or what it does?

L: No, I just know that you have been important and powerful with me since I was born, but I haven't figured out your secrets yet.

While Leo was making these sentences, his eyes were filled with tears and his voice was trembling. Someone said something about this seal, but apparently it was only about how important and powerful it was. I think this person either died or was destroyed in the war. The old boy felt sorry for him, but that was the way of magic, it was harsh and merciless.

L: That's what my mother told me, I only know what she told me, she said don't tell about it to people you don't trust and never show it. I don't know if it matters anymore, my mother suddenly disappeared.

After what Leo said, he looked at the old man and had a strange expression on his face, as if he knew something.

L: Old man, do you know anything?

He was understanding of old, Leo's questions. The disappearance of his mother at a young age affected him deeply and he had to mature early. He was walking the thorny path of magic alone. There were many wounds and blood on his feet. He could not even imagine how difficult it was for a child to walk this path alone.

- Son, I understand your questions, I understand your curiosity, I think answering your questions is the easy part in the situation you are in right now. Would you like me to arrange a place for you to stay? Now you have a warm place and a house where you can sleep safely.

Leo's eyes were shining. After a long time, even after a very long time, a nice place to stay. Leo couldn't turn it down.

L: Where are we going to go he asked

He grinned at old Leo, who had a suggestive smile on his face.

- We'll go west of the city to where you feel me

Leo smiled involuntarily at this answer and realized that it was a ridiculous question.

He showed his embarrassment and put his hand to his head.

L: That's right. Where else could it be?

Leo was admiring every place he passed in the city. Every new city was a different adventure for him.

- After we finish our work, I will assign someone from the guild to take you around. I would like to take you around, but we have a lot of work to do and you are too tired, it would be better if we did it later.

Leo just nodded. Although every part of the city amazed Leo, he was most amazed at the Western Dragon Dynasty, where they arrived at the end of their walk. There were towers facing 4 different directions, these towers were not ordinary towers, each tower was like a dragon curling towards the sky. These towers were connected to the castle in the center by bridges. What caught Leo's attention the most was that there were different doors. Old man wondered if the doors had a special meaning He noticed that the child's gaze shifted to the door and explained:

- Each door has its own purposes and reasons

Thinking the same thing, Leo nodded in agreement. The old man continued

- You will learn these things over time. Unfortunately, since the first generation disbanded, doors no longer have as much meaning as they used to have...

The old man became still and continued in passing.

- Anyway, let's continue. Realizing that the old man was upset, Leo thought that the story of the doors was not very bright and did not insist. They reached the door where a jet-black dragon was curled up. The embroidery was so realistic that Leo involuntarily

L: It's like he's watching me and looks like he's going to jump at me and swallow me at any moment.

The old man chuckled.

- Hahaha, son, this is the first time I've felt so honored with my door.

When they reached the door, the old man put his hand on Leon's shoulder.

- Yes son, are you ready for a new beginning?

This question reminded Leo of all the time he spent alone and all the bad things he had experienced. It is unknown what life will bring, but walking on the path of magic was beautiful despite everything and made it worth living. The life and death battles he fought for the life he lost and had to forget had brought him this far, and now he had the opportunity for a new beginning, he was aware that his life would change completely. He had to get stronger, no matter what, he didn't want to lose anymore.

The old man waved his hand and the black door opened.

- Son, I know you know the importance of the seal, but the real meaning of the seal is that you are the heir of the Dragon King, that is, you are the Dragon King. The enemy side will learn this as we learned, even though it is difficult for you to take this responsibility at your age, we will try to lighten this burden for you.

There was a commotion that they were entering into the dynasty, there were 2 people fighting each other and people gathered around laughing, there were people choosing more tasks, and there were many people talking to each other, if they asked what was the one common thing for all of them, they would all laugh.

-In the past, we had reached epic power and fame when there were members known as the 1st generation, but today these oppressors are using the fame of that generation, he laughed. I'm not saying they're weak, but I can say they're a little spoiled.

While Leo was listening to the old man, he was also watching what was happening within the dynasty. He thought, "When was the last time I heard laughter?" A red-haired girl noticed the couple entering and was coming towards them. Leo's heart was beating fast; she wasn't the first girl he had seen, but he couldn't help but wonder why it was so fast. He was a little shorter than himself. As he continued to examine her, his eyes met the girl's eyes. He was embarrassed. Leon's face was extremely red.

They didn't know about each other, but Ross was also examining Leo. At first sight, he was impressed by his handsome facial features, but there was a problem. Why was he so skinny? Not only that, but his clothes were torn or full of patches everywhere. Why was his heart beating fast against such a person? He couldn't control it. What could have happened to someone like this, which other men don't have?

Others began to examine the child next to the old man. He was thin but muscular, it was obvious that he had a hard time, even though his body looked weak, his aura was incredible, it was obvious that he was on a completely different level.

While people continued to examine Leo, Ross was lost in thought. It was a momentary thing, but it felt amazing. He felt slightly embarrassed when he saw Leo blushing, but he was dying to look at those eyes again. He remembered those feelings he had forgotten a long time ago, a real sense of peace, belonging, and trust like never before. It was as if he felt safe even though the world was hostile to him. He hadn't truly felt these feelings since the day he lost his family.

R: How could it be, it was just a momentary glance, why do I feel like this, calm down Ross, get over yourself.

At this time, he came to the old man and Leon, and the old man was collecting his speech.

- Son, I can't tell you that we are a very powerful dynasty, but I can tell you that we can be your family. The path of magic is difficult and brutal. On this path, you can get stronger and find the strength to endure by hugging your family. That's why I want you to join our family. Do you want to join our family?

Leo was confused, on the other hand, Ross was secretly happy because he wanted to see this boy more and couldn't help the feeling inside him.

L: Being a family again? These were things he had forgotten. He was used to loneliness, but could he really endure loneliness? He was thinking that he could bring to light the feelings of his family that were imprisoned in the darkness within him. He looked back at himself and turned to tell the old man his answer.

He looked at himself again and turned back to tell the old man his information.

L: I was wandering from place to place, searching for who I am, old man, and now I have found a clue. You say I'm the Dragon King you might be right. Enemies like you will also hear this. There is no running away anymore. I will be waiting for them. I don't know who the 1st generation is or how powerful they were, but this generation will surpass them because I am here. Just wait, the Western Dragon Dynasty will reach a place that the older generation could never even dream of... I agree to join your family, old man.

As they clasped their hands together, Leo felt something inside him, now he could feel the others. When Ross felt it, he looked and smiled. Now a new person had joined the Dynasty. The old man walked towards his throne. Meanwhile, Ross approached Leo. This time she smiled at Leo Ross for the first time. Ross was happy to finally get a response.

 The old man standing on his throne began to speak with a roar. His voice echoed throughout the Western Dragon Dynasty. It was like a dragon roaring.

- THE MAGICAL PATH OF THE WESTERN DRAGON DYNASTY IS DIFFICULT AND RUTHLESS BUT NEVER GET TIRED OF WALKING THIS PATH. AS TO HUMAN LAWS

The old man was holding a complaint letter in his hand. The paper was burning with black magic. After watching the complaint petition, the old man threw it into the air and called out to his children:

- When it comes to human laws, do not care about them, The path of magic is not for the weak or the faint of heart. Discover your own way of magic. Get stronger by facing the difficulties of this path you have discovered and try to reach the top by drawing your own path. No one really knows whether there is a peak or not, but isn't this uncertainty what makes magic beautiful? It is an endless road, an endless adventure.

As soon as the old man finished speaking, everyone got excited and roaring sounds started coming from everywhere, as if these were real dragons and not people.

When Ross saw Leon's astonishment:

R: After all, we are all dragons and she was smiling.

The old man made eye contact with Ross when he heard the voices.

- Ross I give you the responsibility of Leon until you get used to it and announce my order to the Entire Dynasty "Leo Lancaster, the New Lord of The West Dragon Dynasty, his word and orders represent me, anyone who opposes this will be judged by the rules of the dynasty

R: Yes, father.

L: WHAT!!!

See Leon's confused. Ross was surprised too. I guess she didn't know either, the thing she was really worried about was Jack, she searched for him with her eyes and wasn't surprised when she found him. The killing intent in his eyes was clearly evident, he didn't even hide his killing intent. He met Jack's eyes and looked at him as if warning. Even though he retreated for now, it was obvious that this would not end there. "I hope he doesn't try to hurt Leo," he sighed.

The old man didn't care about Leon's confused and put his hand on his shoulder and whispered into his ear:

"I may have given you the lordship, but this will not make them respect you. You have to establish your own sovereignty. You have to show your own power and earn respect yourself. I guess it's not hard for a king." he laughed and left.

Now the door to the new age of magic was fully opened, the Dragon King was back, and the enemies that had been hidden somewhere in the world, yet unknown, began to take action.

The world was crying silently but no one heard yet, the war that had cooled would flare up again
