Kurou
And it's here! The dragon so terrible, mighty and powerful. Unleashed once more from the grave of a flesh prison! I knew. Of course I knew. I remembered my past very clearly from the day I was born till I am now. My name in this present is Kurou,just a regular guard and peasant. But previously, a lifetime ago I remembered the swords, the fire and how the once glorious kingdom of the West burn in flames unending! I swore my revenge upon that dragon that leaves my kingdom ablaze.
Born as a mere peasant, it was hard to find out what happened to my kingdom or my son. Finding out what becomes of that cursed dragon was easy though. Adopted prince! Bah!
I kept a close eye on him, trying to find his weakness. It was more than obvious that his soul was trapped in Syura's body. It was a disgusting sight! The pure beautiful body that belonged to my friend, made into that disgusting form. I dug my nails deep into my arm every time I saw it smiled. I hated the fact Sou gave him a second chance in life. It does not deserve a second chance!
That monster destroyed my life! My kingdom! And everything that I ever cared about in my past life. Now, I would do everything in my present life to ruin his.
Finding out about the curse was as hard as finding out how to break them. Rennosai apparently gave a second lock to the flesh prison in form of a stone. The flame stone of Ginnori. It was quite sentimental I presume. To let the last remnants of Reiji the flame mage do their work of encapsulating the dragon. What he did not know was the fact that Reiji's soul was obtainable. With the help of Katsuo, I managed to convince him to gather the soul of Reiji. I promised him a sea of flames. He hates the dragon too.
When Reiji's soul had been inserted to Reishin, it answers to me. Rennosai was sentimental enough to see Reishin as the reincarnation of Reiji. The plan went well. It was slowly in motion. It took a few attempts to steal the stone from Koumei. It was hard to keep a low profile and hide my identity. I managed to do it while befriending Izumiya the librarian in the process.
Next, I need a distraction. The kingdom's rulers will be guarding "Ryuura" with their lives. I placed my bet on defeating Hajeem to gain of him. I won, I began my plan.
An unexpected part of my plan was Torqya…
Tokiya the second. My son. In a way, I am glad to see him grow into the noble man he is. A tinge of regret as a father for never being there to take care of him. This lifetime, at least. I am just a slightly crazed villager, trying to take revenge on people in my past for hurting me and others that I cared about. He do not need to know anything about me.
"Would you mind delivering this letter to the man in that room ?"
Does he know who I am ?
Ryuura looked longingly to the door behind him. Did it actually develop feelings over him?
"I cannot stay with him." he sighed. "I will go back to my room and call Seiryurei. It is about time I end this…"
It was time indeed.
I rode the carriage and delivered him to his castle. Soon. Soon it will end.
Soon he will be ended.
