Chapter 7- The greater riches- Kane

I had just got the kids into bed with their newfound toys, clothing and blankets, they slept soundly as I spread what little treasure I had onto my bed. There was just enough here no doubt to cover the damages the kids cost. Khali's boots were one thing, then Big Daddy V's, Vince's briefcase and the other random items the kids destroyed like Randy's favorite shirts and Triple H's dress pants… don't ask, the kids were just really board one day. I was about to call it a night myself, when the power flickered… that wasn't right especially for a high-end hotel. The room remained darkened for a moment, until the lights came back on again. I found myself no longer in the hotel room… but… back at the abandoned Dragon King Palace! Looking about, I was surrounded by gold, jewels and silver!

"I think I am dreaming," I muttered aloud.

"Hardly!" came a voice. Looking about, I saw no one that was until I turned right around again and came face to face with a huge ass dragon! He was at least four times the size that I am! "So, you're my reincarnation? I thought you would be bigger?"

"Uh… hi" was all I could get out of me, the dragon was massive, with the same colored scales that I have. He looked me over and nodded his approval.

"You're the one that brought down all those who opposed me, and took revenge against Onaga… I am impressed."

"Thank you… is… is there another reason why you're here?" I asked of him.

The dragon smiled… and yeah, I'm shocked too that I could tell he was smiling! "Indeed, it's because of them!" Not far from me were the children. "You see, that palace was a test. I had to be sure," he explained.

"Be sure?" I questioned.

"That you are the reincarnation of me! You see, only a selfless dragon would have put his children before gold. As well your friends proved to be those once loyal to me. Sharing their treasures with others and wanting to ensure the other was looked after properly. You chose the treasure of your children than that of the gold and jewels"

"I couldn't break their hearts" I explained. "Any father would have done that for the children they care about!"

"Precisely!" he said in an excited tone. "Which is why you are going to be rewarded… with the full treasure that was once mine! Kane… Glen. You have earned it, but, there is a catch!" he explained. My head nodded to him, understanding he does have conditions. "It must be shared!"

"I have no problem with that" I announced, I am not some sort of greedy bastard! I don't mind sharing. The room went dark once more, I found myself back at the hotel room. The kids were still asleep and I still had the same amount of Gold as before lying on my bed. But I just thought to myself. 'if it's met to happen, it will happen'

I cleared the gold from my bed, and called it a night. I moved the kids' bed closer to me incase I was needed, I turned back to my human form (do you have any idea how difficult it is to sleep with wings and a tail!?)

Sleep came quickly to me, as the day wore me down. But waking up the next morning would prove to be a rather big surprise!

I awoke to the kids tugging at my blankets, slowly I stirred and looked down, they were as happy as they could be and were ready to start the day… lucky me… it's only four in the morning too. I transformed once again, since the kids are startled when I am not a dragon. Lucky for me I cast a spell on the people in the hotel; I look like nothing out of the ordinary, as well as out on the streets. I figured it was time to find the kids a meal. They looked hungry. I called Taker for assistance… who was very incoherent at this time in the morning as well as cussing my name. But he came eventually and just flopped on the bed. He reluctantly turned into his dragon form as well as I made my way out of the hotel.

I was rather glad to be in my normal flesh and bone, it's quite odd when one hasn't been human for a while, and you nearly forget what it's like! I lose my balance ever so often since I don't have a tail… strange no?

Anyway, as I made my way out of the hotel, I walked about to see if there were any twenty-four hour places open that sell food. I just happened to have found one when I noticed a homeless man on in front of it. I feel for these people, I really do. Reaching into my pocket I tried to find loose change… I only pulled out a fist full of gold coins! Was… was this the dragon treasure the past king told me about?

I tried again in my other pocket… more gold! It just came out of nowhere! I approached the man and let the coins fall into his cup, he stared at me wide-eyed, shocked to say the least, as his hands grew heavy with gold. Tears drifted down his face, it was all I need to see before going inside. I gathered some of the kids' favorites, cereal and some junk food and strangely enough beef jerky! The kids go nuts for that stuff! When I went to the cash, I looked for my wallet again. Yet… I didn't have it! I reached into my pockets and found gold and jewels, some happened to be diamonds! The cashier stared at me oddly and wide eyed like the man outside. I decided to just leave it on the countertop. "Will this cover it?"

Needless to say I was able to help myself to a few more items of my choosing before heading back to the hotel room. I wished I had my camera though. The moment I walked in were the kids climbing and tugging at the Undertaker to get up and play. The Deadman lived up to his name and was out cold on my bed and wasn't stirring anytime soon!
