Ren felt like he was walking for hours taking breaks here and there but still kept walking. Then he heard a carriage moving he went to investigate. What he say were a carriage with two men inside of it in front of them was a boy with brown hair holding a sword against what appear to be a giant crab.
The brown haired boy said taunting the thing "bring it on earth dragon". the creature then lunged at him but to the boy's surprised it was pulled back and was slammed against the ground. When the dust was cleared the boy was shocked to what he saw the earth dragon was dead on its back while another creature was holding onto his tail.
Ren: Is everyone all right. he looked and saw the brown haired boy and the two men. OK guess i'am leaving. he was going to leave straight ahead but was stopped by the brown haired boy.
Boy: How did you do that?
ren: did what?
boy: you grabbed the earth dragon's tail lifted it up slammed it against the ground and killed it no normal person can do that.
ren: well by looking at me you can tell i am not a normal person.
boy: i am sorry i did,t mean to make fun of your appearance.
Ren: its fine i am use to it.
boy: OK sorry my name is tatsumi.
ren: my name is ren and you aren't scared of my appearance?
tatsumi: well not really comparing you to the earth dragon you aren't that scary. To be honest you look pretty cool to me.
ren: thanks that means a lot. Well i should get going. As he said that walking away from tatsumi
tatsumi: wait. having ren turned around I am heading to the imperial capital to join the army you can come with me if you want.
Ren: thanks but looking like this i would freak a lot of people out.
tatsumi: that shouldn't be a problem hold on a sec. He reached into his bag trying to get something ren out of curiosity looked to see what was he looking for. Tatsumi pulled out a large tan cloak and gave it to ren.
Tatsumi: here put this on. seeing ren holding the cloak and putting it on. see now you can enter the city without alerting people of your claws teeth and scales and tail.
ren: i get it i get it OK the cloak reach down to this feet I guess this will do me for now thanks tatsumi.
tatsumi: don't mention it now onto to the capital
Now both tatsumi and ren were both heading to the capital but will Ren be prepared for the corruption that dwells inside this world for him and his new friend.
