When you wake, you recognized the room you were transferred to was within the building of brother rabbits estate, meaning Yi Zaha—or one of his subordinates— brought you back. 

With a big yawn, you step out of the comfortable bed, walking towards the meeting hall where voices carry through the corridors, growing clearer and clearer as you approach.

As soon as you walk into the room through a backdoor, you spot Dokgo sprawled out on the floor next to Yi Zaha's high seat, snoring loud enough to wake a deaf man. 

"Brother Dokgo?" your voice feels rathers strained as you walk up to him with a drowsy mind, kicking his side with your feet.

The whole rooms attention is on you.

"You are awake?" Yi Zaha calls, signaling you to come closer to him. 

You step over the big buffoon who snores as he sleeps, "Is there an important meeting?"

"Yes, we are discussing a war against the elder hornless dragon, professor su, and some other black faction small fry."

You nod, putting a hand to your chin as you begin to think.

The two that were stated are cowards, you know that well enough after a few encounters. They cower and whimper at someone who would be stronger than them.

However they were strong as well, just not strong enough to pique your interest.

"I will face elder hornless dragon king and professor su myself. So you all should fight enemies that match your strengths. Ot'll become a dogfight, so if you come to face an enemy much stronger than you, retreat."

"Yes, sir."

Hasty footsteps are heard from the hall, and in bursts a servant, "The enemies are coming." He says, huffing as he tries to catch his breath from running so hastily. 

Theres a silence that follows before Yi Zaha stands, "Bring me my mask "

Everyone follows after Yi Zaha, you and your juniors concealing your faces with masks as you head out, prepared for the war that is set to begin outside.  

The cold air isn't the only thing surrounding your group. There are hundreds of men, all gathered under the orders of the elders who were once the closest friends of the Great Rakshasa.

Your eyes eventually land on professor Su, "Come on, four Heavenly General juniors. You couldn't do anything against me even when the Great Rakshasa was with you, so I don't understand what makes you think you can face me now." He sighs—an attempt to intimidate you and your martial siblings. 

"It has been a while, Professor Su." White Tiger greets calmly.

"Yes, it has White Tiger."

"Why did you submit to elder hornless dragon king? Master would be embarrassed for you if he found out about it in the afterlife. You were someone he acknowledged." Your brother says, disappointed, unwavering in his loyalty to Yi Zaha.

"What poor provocation." Professor Su chuckles, "Where is our little Red Monkey? Could she be dead?" 

Red Monkey steps out from where she stood, spitting on the ground—announcing her presence. 

The elder grins, the skin on his face folding disgustingly, "I will specially spare you, Red Monke—"

You block her from his vision, the glare that shoots through your mask sending goosebumps down his deteriorating, useless old spine. He scowls, gaze flicking down to the ground.

"Only the one who killed my old friend needs to face my fury, so all you young'uns better stop this foolishness." Hornless dragon king appears, his hairline receding, and his height comparable to a child's.
