Dragon HYDRA (Completed)

Their Past

            ...gave it to him. After that I don't know what he did but after court meeting ended, I found that he actually forged those reports and secretly sent it to the council." Makoto said as his tears were running down.

           "What about the information Amphitere had on Kurome. Was that you who told him?" Akio asked, tensely. "Yes, he not only told me to take those reports but also told me to spy on Lady Kurome's activities. When he said that a friend told him it was actually me. I am so sorry, I am so sorry, I didn't intend to do this, but I didn't had any choice...," Makoto sobbed.

           "The thing is that Amphitere told me that after my village burned down, my father who took us from shortcut, was leading to Amphitere domain's military base and then he contacted Dragon Amphitere and told him about the situation. Then he sent rescue team and all this time my family and other villagers were kept secure at the Central of Amphitere domain under eye of Amphitere. He told me if I didn't do anything, my parents would be in danger I didn't even saw them for a long time. I want to see them." Makoto trying to take in his tears.

       "So this what it was! Well I can't really completely blame you but still Kurome got in trouble because of you. Well..., now, what next...?!" Akio was thinking when Makoto asked,"What really happened with Lady Kurome? you know, the accident."

         "Ah, that, well it's a long story. That accident happened when we were around fifteen. It was her birthday. When all the adults got busy in their talking, I took her to the back of the mansion. Whenever Dragon's children are born. The successor of that Dragon starts to show power of Dragons. After my father aka former Fire Dragon, I was the next Fire Dragon even though I was yet to gain the title I started to show powers. But at that time it wasn't good enough. But I still took her to show this amazing fire technique that I thought of, even though I was told that, that technique is dangerous and not completed I still wanted to show her. But when I tried the fire got out of control and burned down the mansion. Luckily, the party was at main hall which was after the front door of mansion, people got out safe. But Dragon Hydra means Kurome's father took responsibility and make sure everyone would get out safe, her mother was also helping out but they both got in the fire and got pretty burned. While they was still inside Kurome got worried and tried to go inside. We were trying to stop her, but she still got inside. She couldn't find her parents and took in lot of fumes from the fire. When rescue team arrived and took care of fire they found her and her parents was sent to hospital ASAP. " Akio's eyes got teary. He wiped it and continued.

            "When they reach hospital, Kurome and her family were kept in ICU. Kurome, because she took in the fumes and burns, she didn't woke up for about a month and when she did only despair was waiting for her. Her father had already reached the heavens and her mother was gone in coma. She cried a lot. Even though Kurome didn't showed any powers before but as soon as her father left she gained the crest of Dragon on her hand. Honda conveyed the regards to Kurome from her father when he was still barely clinging to life. Her father wanted to tell Kurome that even though she didn't showed any powers he wanted her to be his successor. He was so proud of his daughter and will always be. And no matter what happens she should stay strong and not let anybody tell her that she is weak and continue to fulfill her duty as Dragon, protector of this domain."

             Kurome never had any confidence in her because all the successors around her already started to show powers but she, barely. But her father was always by her side that she would be his successor and a great Dragon Hydra than anyone. Her father had lot of faith in her. It took lot of time for her to come out of this pain. But she came back strong. A lot of people including council was pretty opposing her cause after the accident they thought her health won't be able to put up. But she trained a lot in order to be worthy of title and convinced everyone. Despite that some people opposed her just because she was woman!! That was same with Aoi too. But Kurome and Aoi proved everyone wrong by their hard work. Everyone was so impressed of Kurome but looks like some people didn't like that." Makoto was there listening in complete silence and thinking how much misery and difficulties Kurome had gone through and was feeling more and more guilty.

             Akio burst into crying and said,"She didn't blamed me. Not even once. When the reason the mansion got burned was because of me. She told me that her father thought the same thing when he was still a little concious. Even though everyone around me were looking at me like I was one to blame, they blamed me behind my back. But Kurome never even once said to me anything, always thought of me as her closest friend, always trusted me, I would never let anything wrong happen with her, and I would get her out of this I swear!!!" Akio wiped his tears.

          "I feel miserable, I don't know what to do, can I do something..," Makoto said holding his tears. "Um, yeah, I guess you can do something." Akio said.
