The Fifth

Chapter 1: The Fifth

"What pretty hair you've got, black dragon." So-Woon said touching it and slowly gliding his hands, then suddenly, tugging her hair with force.

"Be my master. Serve me. And I'll let you go." So-Woon shouted, staring at
her, intensely. Ahmya, was forced to look at So-Woon in the eyes but she'd never let him deceive her that easily. His intense aura wasn't powerful and didn't match up to her level. Ahmya would never serve any one who was demanding, evil and controlling. Though, she's never served anyone in her life. She was mostly behind the shadows alongside with her father.

So-Woon sighed and forcefully pushed her back on the wall, making a loud thud. So-Woon silently stood up and walked away with his two clans behind him as well as Kye-Sook.

"So, what are going to do?" Kye-Sook asked, once So-Woon and him were outside the cell Ahyma was held captive in. So-Woon sighed heavily.

"We'll give it some time for now. She'll come around." So-Woon smirked.

"Right." Kye-Sook said and they walked back to So-Woon's office.

It's been a few weeks that Ahmya has been stuck in this cell. Willing to break free and escape, she couldn't because she knows what will happen. They will post a wanted poster and everyone in the village will try to seize her. She couldn't let that happen and reveal her identity across the different tribes and villages. Her father and her were always in the shadows and hidden from the world, unidentified. As a child, she was confused as to why her father didn't let her go out and play with the other kids or see the world in daylight. Her father told her that one day when she's mature enough, he'll tell her and hopefully she'll understand.

Father, what do I do. She thought, missing her caring, protective and loving father. I will not cry. She couldn't let her feelings get the best of her as her father always told her. Don't let your guard down so easily. Once you're alone, you can cry. So instead of crying, she lied down on the cold and dirty concrete floor, shut her eyes and slowly fell asleep.

Meanwhile, the four dragons, thunder beast and red-hair princess were staying in Ik-Soo and Yoon's small hut for a few days before they leave to continue with their mission.

"Ok, lunch's ready." Yoon called out to his friends. Then suddenly, Zeno started running towards the fire pit. Before he could lay his hand on the food, Yoon swatted his hands away.

"The food isn't all for you. Wait for the others." Yoon said.

"Cheeeh." Zeno said pouting and crossing his arms. Yona giggled at Zeno's reaction and sat down around the fire pit and everyone plopped down.

"Alright, is everyone here. Wait where is Ik-Soo?" Yoon said turning his head around, trying to find the curly blonde hair person. Everyone looked around until they heard a thud not to far away. They turned their heads towards the sound and realized Ik-Soon has tripped once again. They sighed.

"Ik-Soo, stupid, are you ok?" Yoon jogged up to him, lending him a hand.

"I'm fine, thank you." Ik-Soon said awkwardly and took Yoon's hand who lifted him up.

"Hurry up, I'm hungry." Zeno complained.

"Ok, ok, I'm coming." Ik-Soo said and walked beside Yoon. As soon as Yoon and Ik-Soo sat around the fire pit, everyone gave their thanks for the meal and chowed down.

"Oh, there is something I would like to tell you guys." Ik-Soo said tensely lifting up his chopsticks and munched on the vegetables. Everyone stopped eating and lifted their heads up slowly as they've never heard him so serious before.

"Let's talk about it after lunch." Yona smiled trying to break the tense atmosphere. Everyone nodded and continued eating.

"So, I want you all to pay attention." Ik-Soo said sitting crossed legged opposite the group who were sitting stiffly and anxiously, waiting for his response.

"There's a fifth dragon." Ik-Soo finally said. Everyone was taken back by the sudden information that they are hearing.
