Dragonstone

Chapter 3: A New Threat

The day after the match I began looking for Sepheroth, he seemed like he knew what happened and how it happened. I went to his classroom and found no one. "How peculiar, he's always in his classroom...this isn't a good sign."

I spent most of that day looking for him but couldn't find him anymore, eventually I gave up. As I was returning to my dorm I saw Ren speaking to Master Sepheroth on the training field. Instead of rushing towards them I simply stared at them and using a basic electric current spell I could hear their conversation.

"But....Master....I'm telling you I don't remember anything after Rai stuck the dagger by my face, I totally blacked out. Then when I awoke I was in the infirmary."

"So you are unaware of the events that took place after you passed out? Ren....you somehow transformed into a dragon. Not just any dragon, you turned in Pyrus. The Lord and source of all known fire magic, he is the dragon of Fire and you..."

He stopped talking and quickly turned his head towards my direction and glared at me, as if he was staring at my very existence. I ducked as quickly as I could, but I'm pretty sure he saw me. After a few minutes I slowly peeped over the ledge and saw that they were both gone.

"A....dragon...one that is apart of an elite order of mythical creatures. I read that the five primary elements were created and organized by the five ancient dragons: Pyrus- the fire dragon, source of fire magic. Aqua- the water dragon, source of water magic. Ventus- the wins dragon, source of wind magic. Terra- the earth dragon, source of earth magic. Then finally, Fulgur- dragon of lightning, source of lightning magic.

I laid on my bed thinking about all the events that happened recently. Why now, why are these strange occurrences happening now. I heard that a weird man in black robes has been kidnapping talented wizards in the village. Could this man be responsible for Rens transformation? I honestly did not know, and couldn't further scrutinize these events because of the smell of smoke that clung in the air. I looked at my window and saw Ren practicing his magic, but why this late it was almost midnight. Foolish me decided to investigate and perhaps speak with Ren personally.

I was taking many cautious steps keeping my eyes on Ren as he continue to throw fire balls from his fists. I was about ten feet away when I saw him, the man in black robes a few feet away from Ren. He approached Ren and Ren did nothing to escape, from his shaking body, I can only assume he was petrified with fear.

"Come here dear boy, I have a preposition to purpose. To the both of you.." The man spoke in a sly, low tone. The kind of voice that gives you shivers. How the man knew that I was present is beyond me, but it only goes to show how much power this robed figure truly has.
