The Dragon's Pirate Warrior | oc insert

||31||

A loud noise echoed from outside my room.

I just rolled over and tried to block out the noise.

It just got louder.

I growled and threw my door open to see Kija and Hak throwing quips and insults at each other.

"Will you shut the hell up?!" I shouted, "it's too early for all this shouting!"

The two looked at me and I threw them a kick to their sides before turning and going back to my room, slamming the door behind me.

"Who wakes up and starts bickering in the first thing they do?" I huffed as I dove into my bed again and wrapped myself up in my blankets again, "ah~ warm..."

°🏴‍☠️°

"We're leaving?" I asked, Yona nodded, "today?"

"Yeah," she nodded again, "We're going to return to the oracle's home and figure out our plans from there."

"Oracle?" I repeated, confused, "Who is that and when the hell did you meet them?"

"Ik-Soo is his name," Yoon walked over as he took my now empty bowl away, "he's a clumsy idiot oracle but he's good at what he does, I suppose. Lightning beast and the princess met him a few months ago after falling off a cliff."

"Falling off a cliff?!" I exclaimed, "whoa you guys are made of steel to have survived that!"

"Yeah well it wasn't exactly an ideal way to meet him but we met him," Hak shook his head with a sigh, "this time there won't be any falling off cliffs."

"No we'll follow the trail," Yona chuckled.

"Glad you idiots can be so carefree about the subject," Yoon shook his head before disappearing.

"I've fallen off my fair share of cliffs but I had these to help me out," I said as my blades grew out, "I probably would've died ten times that way without these but you guys didn't have such a thing. Hak, Yona, you sure you have no weird abilities?"

"Positive," they both nodded their heads with blank faces.

They're so weird. Maybe they're really the dragons and we're just nothing? Pff-- as if.

"Anyway, we'll be leaving around noon," Yona told me, "so be ready, 'kay?"

"Right," I nodded as I stood up.

"Where're you going, mushokuryuu?" Zeno asked as he jumped out from behind a sofa.

"I'm going to wander," I replied as I put Trent's hat on my head and glared at the eyepatch before pocketing it.

I don't want to wear that stupid thing.

"Zeno wants to come too," Zeno exclaimed, jumping to his feet and following me.

"Uh-- sure," I nodded as we left the house, when I was sure no one was following, I looked to the blonde, "why're you really coming with me?"

"I was wondering if the mystery from last night could have something to explain it around the village," Zeno shrugged before grinning, "plus Zeno wants to see where mushokuryuu grew up!"

"I technically grew up on a ship," I stated as we walked through the village, "and as for and explanation, I think the only place that could have something to explain everything would be my home."

"Then let's go," he skipped head slightly, getting distracted often as we walked until we stopped outside of my house.

The paint on the door was all chipped and the hinges were basically nonexistent so just me going to push it open sent the door crashing loudly to the floor.

Me and Zeno coughed as we were attacked by an army of dust bunnies.

"Disgusting," I sneezed before pulling my cloak up over my nose and walked in.

Zeno silently followed me in and we looked around.

You can tell no one has been in here for eleven years. The state of this place is basically inhabitable even for animals or insects. Damn.

Someone had come in and gotten all the food from the house though. That's a good thing, last thing we needed was rotten food in here as well.

"Is this mushokuryuu's family?" Zeno asked, I looked over my shoulder to see a small sketch of me, my parents and uncle.

"Yeah," I nodded, "I was four when that was drawn. Just leave it there. It's better to let it catch dust."

He gave me a slightly questioning glance but nodded and put it down anyway as I knelt to the floor.

"Now where was that trap door?" I muttered.

"What're you doing?" Zeno asked.

"My dad taught me some of the history of the dragons and he kept it all in a book in a weird trap door in the floors," I replied, "I don't really know why but I never really got past the introduction of the dragons part in the story so I have no idea what the real history it. Ah-- here it is."

My fingers hooked on a nook in the floor and I pulled it up, sliding the wood out of the floor and then reaching in to grab an old book. I pulled it out and put the wood back into place.

"We can look at it on the road, for now we should head back and get ready, it's almost noon," I told Zeno as I tucked the book under my arm, Zeno nodded and we walked out. Before we left, we pulled the door back in place and then walked back to my uncles place.

Within ten minutes, we were all at the front of the village with our bags and stuff with us, saying goodbye. I was told to return once everything was over and I agreed before we got onto the road again.
