When we reached Drago's study Apollo was standing by the window.
"Drago what's going on?" I asked him
"It's Jim…" Drago stopped but continued "Jim died today." Drago told us with sorrow in his voice.
All three of us were surprised to hear the news, but Apollo's face grew angry, I got worried I know that look I just hoped he didn't die like my uncle Jim in my dimension.
"Drago, how did Jim die?" Artemis asked Drago
Here we go.
"He was going to the Osbin Pharmacy when a drunken Dragonoid was causing trouble, Jim went over to try to calm him down but the Dragonoid pushed and the back of his head on the ground causing massive brain trauma." Drago explained
All of the sudden they heard a loud thud they wondered where it came from then Drago looked at me.
"Alex?" Drago said worried
"Damn it! Why did it have to happen here too? WHY!" I exclaimed
"Alex what's wrong?" Artemis asked me
"Your uncle died just like my Uncle Jim." I told them
"Really, Dad who did this, I'll make him pay for what he did" Apollo asked Drago
"The description a witness gave us was; Dragonoid male, 11'5, and green and white scales. That's all we have no other leads." Drago replied
"Leave it to me. I'll find this guy." Apollo told us
"No way Apollo you're too emotionally attach to the victim. Let someone else catch this guy." Artemis told Apollo
I could tell Apollo was getting angrier and angrier. I took my left hand started to massage my right.
"Apollo, Artemis is right you're too emotionally attached to the victim, so let one of your lieutenants catch the guy." I told him
Apollo's anger exploded he rushed over to me. Grabbed me by my shirt and pinned me against the wall.
"Apollo what's your problem!?" Drago yelled at Apollo
"Then what should I do? Just let the bastard get away." Apollo exclaimed
I didn't say anything
"Well!" Apollo exclaimed while slamming me against the wall one more time.
I've had enough! I curled my fingers into a fist and swung on Apollo, my fist connected on his lower jaw he stumbled backwards and fell. I walked over to him and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt.
"Apollo, trust me I know what you're going through but if you go after this guy you'll end up killing him, you think Jim would want that?" I told Apollo
Apollo didn't say anything; he broke away from my grip, stood up to checked his jaw and left the room.
"What was that for we could have calmed him down?" Drago told me
"No you couldn't of; the only way to calm someone like that down is to knock the sense into him. I never told anyone but I wanted to kill the bastard who killed my uncle." I replied
"If nothing else I'm leaving." Artemis told Drago
"Same here" I told him
"Hold on Alex we need to talk." Drago told me
Artemis walked out the door shutting it behind him.
"Take a seat." I sat down. "Hikari told you about her father right?" I nodded "Well, the day before he died he asked me a favor to pass on to you."
"What was the favor?" I asked Drago
"The favor was to ask the warrior of legends to watch over Hikari in his absents." Said Drago
"Why would he ask that, Hikari has her brothers along with her uncle Ra, so why would he want me to watch over her?" I asked him
"I told him the same thing but he told me her brothers protect her from anything and her uncle Ra won't always be there." Drago replied
"But what are his reasons? Don't get me wrong Hikari is a beautiful dragoness and a great fighter but why should I protect her?" I asked Drago
"I don't know." He told me
I was silent
"If anything else, I'm heading up to my room." I told him
"One more thing, don't tell Hikari."
"How come,"
"Hikari had no blood relation to Jim, but she was one of the closest people to Jim because he treated her like his own niece. So don't say anything to her."
I nodded and left. When I reached my room, I dropped in to the bed.
After year of living here, I still can't believe this is happening. I thought to myself
Then there was a knock at the door, I got off the bed and walked over to the door. I opened the door and on the other side of the door was Hyperion
"Hyperion what are you doing here?" I asked Hyperion
