"Bandits. Bandits everywhere. In the towns, the hills and underground. Basically this whole world was made up of bandits. We use to run everything and live was full of drink, food and love. Lots of love. But then a new generation grew and took over our festive cheer. Kings and Queens enforced execution on us should we be caught in our crimes. Families torn apart by greed. Now that Queen Masako Araki was in charge of Teiko. Teiko was a large Kingdom filled with differences and power. Here you had to be careful, if you were a bandit, not to be seen as much by the guards. Oh look, there's a bandit. Just casually sitting there and sharpening his sword at the open harbour that's full of guards. Anyway, the valley landscapes are full of creatures and monsters. Magic played a massive part in our lives. Without it we couldn't defeat creatures taller and scarier than us. Most powerful monsters are extinct. Well without the dinosaurs, dragons were the next big thing. Problem was is that they were all hunted down. Well….that's what everyone thinks. One still lives and I bet there are others too. Just in hiding. Fire was pretty much an extinct spell and was considered rare. Barely anyone uses it anymore because there was no use for it. Since the people have found out how to create fire the spell was out of date. But we still live and they can't take our freedom."
A tanned man with navy blue hair was dressed in a navy blue long leather trench coat with red sleeve cuffs and the inside was red. Navy blue trousers and black fur boots, black leather fingerless gloves and for his coat he had a buckle holding his coat in place so it wasn't lose around his chest areas. Underneath his coat were his black gun holsters and around his waist too. On his back was a long shotgun and sniper crossing over one another. You can tell what he specialized in and what weapon he uses, he was very good at it. He was the bandit that had a very high price on his head. Bounty hunters stopped at nothing to claim his head. Ever since a young age this man stole and raided countless men and woman, homes and markets.
He held in his hand a brown full sack. He ran. He ran through the stone and cobble streets of the kingdom. Guards left and right were chasing him. Having seeing him raid a few markets they were on his tail. He ran with a smile on his face. He knew he could out smart them. He ran through knocking people over or shoving them. When he saw a load of crates he ran up them and with one hand he launched himself up and grab an open window ledge before throwing himself up again and onto the tiled roof. He took in a small laugh before he then ran along after being spotted by the guards on the roof. He jumped from roof to roof looking around for danger. This man had a special technique known as 'Archive'. With this ability he can scan this for their advantages and disadvantages. When he see this, it like a computer. A blue two thick lined circle moved with his eyes and would then highlight a useful source and would lay out its uses in light blue where as if it was bad it would be red. So far everything was blue and normal so his escape from the kingdom was smooth and sweet. Once he was out of Teiko he calmed his fast legs and stopped to catch his breath. He looked back at the large gates to the kingdom and took and breathed in, after he put the sack down, and stretched his arms and back before letting out the breath.
"Eh? That was easier than I thought." The man scratched the back of his head. "Maybe they're not trying as hard because they're use to my tricks. Oh well, it looks like we'll be eating tonight." He smiled as he looked at the back. "Ha, that was a catch. Oh well, lets head back. Who knows he might even be there." The man picked up the sack as he began to walk through the fresh green grass field with the hot sun baking down. Around him were land griffons (half birds and half horse) everywhere relaxing and feeding just like the unicorns. They didn't see bothered by him. Especially when he robbed a ride off of one of them. He rode through the field and through the tall trees until he found a stone trail leading up a mountain. The sounds of the claws and hooves hitting the smooth rock was the only sound around them. The trail was swerve and long which lead up. Finally he reached the top and pulled on the creature's feathers to signify that they were at their destination. Wondering Cave. With a sqwak the man hopped off and gave the creature a pat before sending it away back down the trail. He then walked into the cave. The Wondering Cave was large with treasures and gold piled up around. Torches on each side dimly lit the cave. The man let out a chuckle before stopping in not far from the entrance and dropped the bag.
"Oi, Akashi! I'm back!" the man shouted.
He got no reply so maybe he wasn't back. Wrong. He heard loud and heavy breathing further down. The man hummed to himself before walking further down with the bag. Further back in the cave held a very, very large creature. One said to be extinct. Curled up and breathing heavy was a large red scaled dragon. Eyes clenched shut with pain.
"Hey, you ok?" the man said knowing full well the dragon couldn't speak. "What's wrong Akashi?" he said as he dropped the bag. The dragon kept breathing heavily.
He then walked around to its stomach he took note of the large paw with angry sharp claws. He placed his tiny hand to the paw and gave it a slight rub.
"Can you move your paw?" the man asked and the dragon obeyed.
What he saw was a large diagonal gash on the dragon's skin.
"Who did this to you?" he said hearing the dragon groan.
The man sighed. He then walked behind the dragon seeing the waterfall at the back. The sun seeping through made it magical. He took cloth off of a small pile beside it he knelt down in front of the pool and dunked the cloth in. Today Akashi had gone out to cause chaos as dragons do. He wasn't out to steal not destroy as much but just to play with the nearby kingdoms. But to injure him was not what he had planned. The man knew that Akashi was skilled and very detailed in his plans that this would not happen so he would have to have been taken by surprise or made a miscalculation. Which was very rare for the lizard boy. Once he was sure the cloth was wet enough he made his way back to the dragon's tummy and began to dap the wound. The dragon roared. Launching its head up in pain and wriggling its body to knock the man back on his bum.
"Akashi!" the man shouted and the dragon began to calm. "I can't help you unless you stay still, idiot." the man said as he stood to try again. Once the wound was dapped he then walked over to get some sort of metal and placed it in one of the torches before walking back over.
"You dare move and I'll kill you." He said. Pressing the hot metal on the wound, the dragon tried very hard not to squirm as the heat incinerated his wound. Now it was seal and ready to be healed by his body's command.
"There, that's better." Said the tanned man. "Would have been a lot easier if you had turn back, ya know." He placed his hands on his hips.
As if on cue, that red scaled dragon's body glowed a soft red as the body shrunk and began to form into a young red haired slim bodied boy. The boy was dressed in a dark blue sleeveless top, black non-sleeved short leather chest jacket, black tight trousers and grey fur boots. He laid on the ground for a few seconds before slowly opening his eyes. Red and golden. He got up on his hands and looked to the tall man.
"Daiki. Good morning." He said before moving to sit on his legs.
"Good morning my arse." The man loomed over him. "It's afternoon and near evening. It's gonna get dark soon." The boy looked down to the cold rock floor. "Hey, what happened out there?" Aomine Daiki asked the small boy calmly.
"I missed them because I flew away." Akashi replied.
"Fair enough." Aomine said as he walked over to the abandoned bag. "I got us a feast tonight. Why don't you bathe for but before we cook?" Aomine asked him.
"Ok." Akashi quietly said before finding his legs and slowly making his way to the pool. He stripped down and slowly lowered himself into cold water which soon heated up by his body heat. The water came up to his shoulders. He wiped over his body with his hands before dipped under and scratching his head all over. He came back up with a breath before soothing his red locks. He then took a minute to relax and lean back against the side of the pool. His hand delicately traced the now scar on his stomach. Akashi's mind was still processing his mistake that could have cost him his life. He sighed and then closed his eyes to rest.
Fire, screams and laughs. A village destroyed and burning to the ground. People running and scream. Children crying and fathers fighting. Creatures invading to assist with the slaughter. Blood everywhere. A young boy sat behind a tree closing his eyes and holding his hands tightly over his small ears trying to block out the on slaughter. Tears and heart beats.
"Oi Akashi!"
Akashi was snapped out of his supposed nightmare by Aomine. He boy jolted wake and looked back at the taller man sorting out the logs for the fire and spit for the food to go on. Behind him he had noticed the status of outside. It was now dark. That was nightmare seemed shorter than that. Anyway, Akashi took a breath before pushing himself out of the pool and grabbing a longer clothe to dry himself before dressing. Once he was dressed he placed his hands on either side of his head to warm and dry his hair as he walked over to Aomine.
"Hey, can you start the fire." He said and Akashi nodded.
Akashi knelt down to the logs and curled his hands in front of one another to create a tube. Taking in a huge breath he then breathed fire through his hands and alighting the logs. Akashi moved so Aomine can proceed with tonight's dinner. They had a lot of meat with carrots and broccoli filling them for the night. Bed time soon approached. Aomine and Akashi slept close together. Resting their heads on a rolled up thick blanket, bodies rest on one and another to have over them. They slept by the pool with Akashi facing it because he felt calm and safe around it. It helped him sleep.
