My Red Glowing Eyes

The Ram ♈︎

Aries and Jay meet in contact to kick each other, both parties are strong but one must fall eventually. Once their shins meet, the strength in power leaves the air around their legs disturbed, leaving a gust of wind.

Flames shoot out of the dragon's foot, causing Aries to retract. Jay takes the opportunity to go up and punch him with a flaming fist, sending the zodiac back and crashing into an old pillar.

The ram gets up as if nothing happened, dusting his clothes off. The dragon scowls at that, fists clenching.

"Oh, don't lose your patience young man, this is simply a warm up." The younger's eye twitches at the statement, teeth grinning.

"Well I'm just getting warmed up as well." His fist meets contact with his palms, a burst of flame sparking from the impact before he breathes fire at the ram. The zodiac avoids it before kicking Jay in the chest, flames emit from the latter's leg but the only thing earned from the dragon is grunt.

The shirt that Jay wears burns up, revealing red scales.

"A dragon?!" Aries backs away, intimidated. He sees the boy's eyes flash yellow, pupils turning into vertical slits. Scales reveal themselves, replacing the plane of skin. His hands turn into claws, wings, horns, and tail sprouting. The dragon wings flap and in a blink of an eye, he grabs Aries by the collar, slamming him against a wall.

"Your black fire can't harm me." Jay smirks, before his clawed hand turns into a fist. Punching the man with vigorous strength. It's obvious who has the upper hand in this battle for sure. "No flames can burn me." He swings and Aries is tumbling on the rubble.

"You may win this battle, but how about your friends? I'm sure some have perished." The dragon roars in anger, swooping in and grabbing the ram, smashing his head against a wall and flying along the walls with the body.

"They will never die! They'll fight with every ounce of strength left. Even then, they'll find a way to win!" He tosses Aries, and lands above the ancient being.

"Who goes there?" Jay keeps his head low, the magic chains around his neck and limbs remain heavy on his body. The footsteps stop and he picks up an odd smell. One that belongs to none other than a devil.

"Park Jongseong, the golden dragon, correct?" They ask, disregarding his question.

"Who are you?" He lifts his head, yellow eyes burning with the flames in his body. He sees a devil in their true form, dark blue scales with two emblems on their body. Neon blue eyes glinting with purpose.

"I'm Park Sunghoon, the dark gatekeeper; devil of Satan's creations. I've come to release you." The dragon smirks when the cell door opens.

"Have I been proven innocent?" The shackles break, the dragon stretching with contentment. He hears the devil chuckle, waving his hand and a dark cloud appears before Jay, a new set of clothes. "Thanks."

"Yes, the trial revealed it was another phony devil." Sunghoon sighs with a discreet smile. "It's a shame my nemesis will be in the dungeons of hell for eternity."

"Your nemesis," Jay repeats. "Is that why you decided to help the case? Reveal the true murderer of Yang Gamuel, the thunderous? The attempted murder of Yang Jungwon?" The death of the warrior of the Maekubia kingdom was placed upon Jay who was at the aftermath of the scene. The dragon was poorly framed, supposedly deemed responsible for her death, finding burns, scratch wounds, and blunt force trauma. Sounds like the dragon, but what they didn't pick up was the demonic magic that lingers in these fatal wounds. Sunghoon was able to show it to the court room.
