Chapter seven
"Master Ladon sire, May we speak with you?" Ryu spoke. Once again, the dragon appeared inside the wall.
"Yes, my son? What is it that you wish to speak of?" Ladon asked.
"We wish to know about the demon who tried to destroy the world a thousand years ago."
"Ah... a thousand years ago... I remember it was a time of the St. Eva organization was first brought to the world. Guardian, I do believe you know of this religion. The St. Eva church was nothing but a scam to gather human life energy to bring back the demon king, Deathevn. But thanks to the destined child and his seven friends, they stopped the beast. But, they didn't kill him. He will rise soon and be much more powerful then before. Ryu, you must meet with the destined child and receive your power to finish off the demon king." Ladon explained to the group.
"But who is this destined Child? Where can I find him?"
"He is a half blooded dragon whom was destined to defeat Deathevn. Now, he is guarding the gate to hell. But,k he is growing weaker as we speak. He won't be able to hold his guard up much longer."
Night had come to Dragnier and the party was asleep in the tent like hotel, all but Ryu. He had many thoughts traveling through his head, most of them focused on his dreams. They were going to come true and he knew it. But the question was, was how was the others going to handle it? Especially Nina...
Ryu loved her and he wasn't afraid to admit it. She was everything to him, and he didn't want anything to happen to her. The warrior knew that she loved him but, he still felt that she shouldn't have come with him. Ryu wasn't sure what was wrong with him, but he felt lost, dazed and confused. It was like something was calling him and it wasn't good.
He sighed and looked at the star filled sky. The moon was full and the blueish-black emptiness of space filled his heart with sadness. He felt alone. Just as Ryu started to drift out of reality, a warm, soft hand came from behind and graved him by the waist as another hand came around and placed itself on his chest. Ryu felt a head on his back and heard a soft humming sound from behind. He smiled to himself and said, "Nina, what are you doing up?" he placed his hands on hers.
Nina let out a moan. The dragon chuckled and said, "Couldn't sleep?" Her head moved up and down. Again, he laughed.
"I was thinking about you. I had another dream." Nina said. Her warm breath could be felt through his shirt.
"Did you? What was it about?" he knew he didn't need the answer. It was always the same...
"The same as before... only, the demon ripped your heart out and laughed harshly. It was different from before, last time he stabbed you with a sword." Nina told him.
"You know what?"
"Hmm?"
"Your kiss was sweet and delicious. I still have that wonderful taste in my month." Ryu told her. It pleased him when he heard her giggle.
"Ryu!" she said softly and pinched his stomach.
"Ouch... okay, okay. But, it was."
"Ohh! You're asking for it buster!" Nina chuckled.
"Oh am' I?" Nina moved her hands so he could turn to her. "And what is my punishment?" he asked as he looked at her. Ryu placed his hand on her cheek.
A smile, that's all I needed...
Ryu bent down and placed his lips on her, giving her a sweet, short kiss.
"You call that a kiss?" Nina asked. Her eyes were lite up and she blushed with rosy red cheeks.
"You want a better one?"
"Yeah... it's what I'd expect... of you." Nina replied. Ryu smiled and just as they drew close,
"Ryu! We need to- oh! I'm sorry! Are you two busy at the moment?!" Garr noticed how far apart Ryu and Nina was from a kiss, but they let go of each other and stood next to one another facing him.
"What is the problem Garr?" Ryu asked in a causal tone.
"Uh... we could talk tomorrow if you want." Garr stuttered.
"No. That's all right. Just don't do it again. Good night." Nina said a s she walked past Garr going into the hotel. Garr staired at Ryu for a moment with his jaw open.
Ryu leaned on the ruin wall and stared into the town as Garr walked up to him and stood next to him. "How long have you two been like this? Do you? Does she?" he asked a little shocked.
"Yes Garr. I do love her and I think she loves me. And you're not the only one who knows..." Ryu sighed deeply.
"Momo knows?"
"Nope, Rei."
"Rei?!"
"I really don't want to talk about it right now. Now, What is it you wanted to talk about?" Ryu asked a little annoyed.
"Oh... uh. Does your master know where this gate is? I asked the goddess and she didn't know where it was." Garr asked. Ryu sighed again and looked at the horizon. The sky was turning and orange red color but most of it was still black. The wind was chilly and Ryu had the feeling that he was somewhere else. Like he was incomplete. He felt a power just like his Infinity but, warmer.
"Don't worry. I know where it is." Ryu assured him.
"Didn't Ladon say something about a half blooded dragon? He said you have to meet with him to get your power. But, who is he?" Garr seemed interested in this dragon.
"I... don't know."
"Master Ladon sire, May we speak with you?" Ryu spoke. Once again, the dragon appeared inside the wall.
"Yes, my son? What is it that you wish to speak of?" Ladon asked.
