"Ban's POV"

"Come on Buraki let's go train." I said.

"Slow down child, I may be a dragon but that doesn't mean I'm as spry as you." Buraki said.

"But I can't go slow, I need to train so I can be as strong as you and uncle Azazel." I said.

"Trust me young one you'll be as strong as us in no time." He said.

"I want to be that strong now though." I said.

"You must have patience Ban the only way is to study and train, you know that." He said

"Yes but I feel like I'm making no progress at all." I said.

"Let me tell you a secret to dragon slayer magic," He said, "to get the best possible result of your magic you must have a strong physique as well as a flexible mind."

"I understand father, I need to keep my mental and physical attributes in peak condition, so can we please go now." I said.

"Yes yes we can go just promise me you'll never forget those words." He said.

"I promise, I will never forget." I said.

<<<Present>>>

I opened my eyes springing forward from my bed.

"Buraki!" I screamed.

Elaine jumped up, scared to pieces.

"What is it Ban, what's wrong?" She said.

I look at her and then around the room realizing where I am.

"So it was just a dream," I mumbled, "but it felt so real."

"Ban talk to me what happened?" She asked.

"Nothing it's alright, I'm fine." I said.

"Then what was that screaming about." She persisted.

"It was just a dream, nothing more." I said.

"It's obvious that you're not telling me something so spit it out." She continued.

"I told you it was nothing." I said getting agitated.

I got up threw some clothes on and opened the door.

"I'm going for a walk don't wait for me and don't follow." I said and left.

"Dax's POV"

"I guess I should go check on Ban." I thought when I heard a knocking at the door.

"Dax come quick I need you." She said.

I opened the door to see Elaine with tears in her eyes.

"Elaine what happened?" I asked.

"It...It's Ban he left and I don't know where he is." She struggled.

"Ok Elaine I need you to calm down and tell me why he left." I said.

"He woke up from a bad dream and wouldn't tell me anything, he said something about a bur uhm burse or." she said.

"Buraki?" I said on a hunch.

"Yes that, was it what is it or who is it." She asked.

"Buraki is Ban's father or to be more specific, he's the dragon who raised him and taught him magic." I said.

"Why would he be dreaming about him all of a sudden?" She asked.

"If I had to guess I'd say it's because he started using his magic again." I said.
