(I literally wrote the first chapter like a long time ago, so my writing will probably appear different to nerds. It won't be as long either because I'm mentally weaker, lol.)

The world Hetura resides in is largely vast. Currently, he is on a continent, an island that is almost diamond-shaped if seen from above. It's surrounded by the explored sea. There are four sections, each four section own a fourth of the island. They don't exactly have a name but they are usually labeled as what the compasses say. Southeastern sect, Southwest sect, Northeast sect, & Northwest sect, these are the sections. They each have their own attraction, known for an individual reason. The cylinder shape mountains that Hetura climbed & trained in has an odd location. It's perfectly in the central of the continent, but it's not popular. People think of it as a lost cause, after all, nothing special emits from it. Even gods overlook it, naming the place, Graveyard of Dragons.

"Hetura, do you want to leave tomorrow?" The Dragon Lord said. Hetura looks over to her, shrugging & nodding afterwards.
"Of course I do, I'll come back occasionally too."
"You sure?"
"100% sure, miss."
"Then go ahead."
His eyes opened wide, since the Dragon God never liked the idea of her disciple being exposed to others. She could be compared to an over-protective parent, they tend to protect their personal precious things to an extreme extent. It seemed it was time for Hetura to take his leave, to shape his own destiny. He danced around, in joy, the God just watched with a slight smile. She never smiled, Hetura would've went crazy if he noticed the small smile. He was too busy, dancing away with excitement. The God remained silent until Hetura calmed down, Hetura sat besides her. they were on the edge. He waved his legs back & forth whilst he sat near the God.
"You must represent me, okay? Make our identity known." The Dragon God said with a happy tone, looking at Hetura with a proud face. There was a confident smile & shiny spark in her eyes. Hetura stared, astounded by the emotion the God showed. She has never once sounded like that or showed emotion, even pain wouldn't affect her. Hetura's mouth grew upwards, a bigger smile than hers.
...
"Of course, I live as a resemblance of you!" There was another silence in the air, the Dragon God was thinking. Hetura let her think, he was thinking of what she was thinking.
"My name is Cerua Hezte, make that name become the world's unsolved mystery." She grinned, knowing he could do so. To Cerua, Hetura was a blessing, so she was certain he'd achieve great feats. Hetura replied.
"You don't even have to ask, Cerua. My alias is now Hetura Hezte."
"Oh? Then you better not disappoint, by tomorrow, you better be gone."

...

A new day has arrived.

That boy is really something else, he really left me an abundance of flowers as a parting gift. I eye down at the flowers, he even chose my favorite. "Antirrhinum, hm?" I smile once more. This nostalgic happiness, it's always temporary if you make it that way. Pain will only come afterwards if you let it through. It was my weakness during that period, I should've never let my anger & grief interfere with it. This time, it'll be different.

I pick up the flowers & smell them, it smells a bit fruity. The flowers only give off a little aroma, it won't fill the room. The pleasant smell is hard to find & appreciate, but once you do, it's addicting. Something you'd never expect to have a nice attraction, because of that, it's difficult to see what it beholds. The gifts & intentions, it's truly disappointing that people don't experience it. That's why antirrhinum is my favorite out of all, it showcases grace & strength. That's how every dragon should be.. Hetura is a resemblance of this flower, yet he doesn't know. I walk to my cave, it's definitely small but cozy. Everything is made out of rocks, even the tables & chairs. I see an empty table made of hurt rocks, I carefully place the flowers on them. Everything dies, just like these flowers, they'll eventually disperse into nothingness. I'll never die though, immortality is a curse, I'd never let anyone obtain immortality. Seeing everything die around you is an excruciating process, changes happen & you realize you'll never escape. You are your only friend, forever. Though I am alive, I am equally as dead.

He won't be here for a long time, I know. It's for the better though, I won't get attached like the first time. It makes the process significantly worse, you'll learn when it happens, like I have. Hetura..Hetura..Hetura... You are truly a gem, you even remind me of him.

(Obviously Cerua talking.)
