In the expanse of time, Hero was floating. It was almost like gravity wasn't around. He could see everything around him, but he didn't open his eyes. There was no sound and no thoughts ran through his head. He just knew. Suddenly, he started to think again. His eyes opened and a bright light consumed him. He felt something strange enter his body. His body became numb and his mind felt cleared. He felt pain running from his head, down to his feet. He was still in the bright light. Everything was spinning. Then, he fell unconscious.
Hero woke up moments later, but his vision was blurred.
After a few minutes, his sight cleared up completely. It was six o'clock in the morning around the harbor area in Dana Point, California.
The waves were softly setting, the air was crisp of the ocean with the scent of salt and sea. There were rocks everywhere around him and gigantic cliffs were towering over him. He was located right next to a staircase and a large jetty. He had never felt the ocean before, but he wasn't scared.
He got up off the soft sand and walked up the stairs leading to the Ocean Research Institute. He brushed off the sand on his shirt and headed up the wet stairs. The Ocean Research Institute was a huge building for tourists. It was dedicated to oceanography and sea animal research. It was closed, because it was six o'clock. As he passed by the empty, brown building, a man with a dark blue cape and blue hair, jumped up onto the roof. He wore a fancy shirt and white pants. He pulled out his com-link and stood quietly observing Hero. Com-link stands for communications link. With it, you can call anyone in the world for free. His com-link rang. He picked it up and answered it.
"What is the information regarding the Legendary Warrior?"
"He's breached. The trans-dimensional portal is open and secure."
"Good work Yuin. You may proceed with the operation at any time you wish."
Just as Hero walked by the empty building, he saw something out of the corner of his eye. He quickly turned around and looked on the roof, but there was nothing there, so he continued his long hike. Later that morning, Hero found the five highway and started walking south on it.
The highway was long and few people were driving on it. When Hero saw a car for his first time, he was frightened. After a while of pondering, he concluded that people controlled them. He figured this out, because he was half genius. His mind processes thoughts faster than normal brains, therefore he can respond quickly to things. People would often stair at him, because he had a sword strapped to his back. Then, he realized something. He unraveled the rope he used to attach his sword to his back. He put his sword on the ground. Amazingly, his sword flew up and attached to his back again! This time, without rope! By tapping into the sword's power, he increased the gravity on his back. His sword contained the element of gravity. So that's why there was no sheath to his sword!
"Ahh… I see. This will be fun." Hero said joyously while looking at Soul Reaper on his back.
Soul Reaper was a short sword. It was about four feet long, but incredibly light. It has a semi-transparent blade which is a mix of a mellow gray and a tan. The hilt was white and very soft. The guard was dark-gray with four, small, purple crystals and one big crystal in the middle. The crystal was half yellow, half purple. The crystals represented the four elements in the sword. The big crystal represented the two forces in the sword trying to rule Hero, because of the elements of light and darkness.. The yellow side was the good and the purple side was the evil. At the end of the hilt was a yellow crystal in the shape of a diamond.
As soon as he reached the exit Camino Estrelle, he found a spot behind a tree and camped out there. It was a red coral tree, which was a beautiful crimson color. People stared at him more often, because he carried a sword on his back and it was an exit for the busy highway. It was also noon.
That night, two policemen spotted and started questioning him. One of them said, "It's illegal to carry a sword out in the public. I'm sorry, but we're going to have to confiscate it."
"What do you mean?" Hero asked.
"The law states that it is illegal to carry a sword, because it can harm a civilian. Are you even from around here? Your clothes look different." asked the other cop.
"We should take him in for questioning. He looks like a terrorist. Why are you here?"
Hero quickly grabbed his belongings and ran for the shopping district beyond the highway. He dashed into the parking lot and ran towards K-Mart. They tried to catch him, but he was too fast for them. He lost them down an alley behind K-Mart. He crept slowly down the dark, wet alley.
When he reached the end, he found a strange door with an unknown language on it. As soon as Hero put his hand on the doorknob, the cops spotted him and chased him. Hero burst through the door and closed it immediately.
Suddenly, the door disappeared. He was now in an enclosed room with blackness all around him. There was only one thing, an elevator. It was just beyond where he entered. He looked above it and saw a shiny, gold slab, just like the one in the Aerian temple. He slowly crept down the dark hallway; a light above the elevator barely lit the path.
The slab read: "Vinifia" on it. He pressed the old button, which called the elevator up.
"This language… it's becoming readable! How am I able to read it?" Hero thought.
As soon as the elevator door opened, Hero's heart pounded hard and fast. When he took a step inside of it, his heart pounded harder and faster than before. Then he started to cough up blood. He got really dizzy and passed out in the elevator.
After a few hours, Hero regained consciousness.
Still dizzy from passing out, he looked at the control panel inside the old, dusty elevator. He then pressed the down arrow accidentally, instead of the door open button. The elevator sped downward at an extremely fast speed.
When it reached the bottom floor, Hero flew and hit the elevator's doors, which caused them to open.
Suddenly, Hero was paralyzed with fear. He looked around and there were thousands of dragons! He was both scared and confused.
He tried to comfort himself by looking at the beautiful scenery. It was an gorgeous island, surrounded by a vast ocean and green grass everywhere. In front of him was a giant building where all the dragons were training. He couldn't help but be scared, because he only heard about dragons in his text books on Aeris! His eyes would look at the scenery, then look at the dragons, then look at the scenery, then look at the dragons he saw before, except they were heading towards him! He was very confused.
Then, one of the dragons walked over toward him while the rest stayed behind. The dragon was a golden color with gold hair and wore a dull yellow headband on his head. He was a light dragon. The other dragons stayed behind and watched the brave dragon approach the non-dragon looking Hero. He heard many of his comrades yell, "That's it, Rei! You can do it!" The gold dragon walked up to him and asked, "Where are you from?"
Hero immediately covered his eyes while the dragon said, " Hey, take it easy little guy! I'm not going to hurt you!"
The dragons had different elements for their different colors. Rei was a light dragon, the least common dragon. He was given light-based powers. Fire dragons were the most common, then water, then wind, then earth, then lightning, then darkness, and finally, the most rare, light. Judging by their colors, you can tell what kind of dragon and what elements they can use. But, as the saying always goes, you can never tell a dragon by his color.
The dragons were actually more scared then Hero was of them! Hero looked in horror as the dragon slowly approached him with his fiery eyes and thick saliva drooling down his sharp teeth! On his head, he wore the wretched headband of death! He was walking on his two, horrible legs over towards him! Hero was obviously exaggerating…
The dragon watched Hero as he slowly approached the mean, evil boy. Rei, the dragon, was scared to his wits by looking into Hero's demonic eyes while walking slowly yet steadily toward him! He noticed thick saliva oozing down his sharp, crooked teeth! Rei was also exaggerating…
In reality, both were shaking as Rei approached Hero.
"Oh my gosh I'm going to die!" Hero thought to himself as he covered his eyes.
Then, the dragon touched Hero's shoulder and Hero shouted, "AHHH! I'M GONNA DIE!"
Rei shot backwards and shouted, "OH MY GOSH HE'S GOING TO KILL ME!"
The crowd of dragons all shouted and flew away while Hero and Rei fell backwards to the ground.
"Ahhh! You can talk! You're a dragon! The text books only said they could breath fire!" Hero screamed.
"Ahhh! You can talk! You're one of the members of the Dragonslayer Order! The text books only said you could slay dragons, not talk!" Rei screamed.
AHHH!" both screamed simultaneously while on the ground. The dragons came back and noticed that Hero and Rei were both screaming. An orange dragon walked up and kicked Rei. She was a fire dragon.
"He's not one of the Dragonslayer Order! He doesn't look like it, nor wear the armor!"
Rei got up and looked at the confused-looking Hero and said, " Umm…it's ok, you guys. It looks like this kid just took the written exam. He's so traumatized that he forgot he was a dragon too."
Suddenly, a blue flame engulfed Rei. He gave a quiet shriek, and then he looked like a human! He must of transformed into a human!
"Hi, my name is Rei, what's yours?"
Hero looked at him for a moment and then replied, "Hero. How do you look like a Aerian? I thought you were a dragon."
"Ha ha, funny joke. I can transform myself into a HUMAN so I can disguise myself from normal humans if I choose to go to the human world. I'm not an Aerian or whatever that is. Don't you remember?"
"Uhhh… yeah. Now I do." Hero lied.
"Great, now why did you come from the human world? This is the island of the Dragon Order. This island, Vinifia, is located in the middle of the seven other Dragon Islands. This world is the Dragon Realm. Where did you come from?"
"Uhh… I come from the imperial city of Aegis. It's really far away from here."
Rei gave him a blank stare and laughed, "Man, you are confused! Ha-ha! There's no place on Earth called that! Nor in the Dragon Realm! Anyways, come join me for lunch. I'm sure you'll remember everything after you eat!"
Just as he told this to Hero, Morin, one of the Dragon Order, walked up to him. He was an orange dragon with white hair. It seems all of the dragons had hair. He was a special type of fire dragon.
"Where is your master?"
Hero responded, "I… don't have one… I guess."
Then, Morin gave Hero the same blank stare as Rei gave Hero a while back. He glanced at Hero's sword and asked, "Are you a dragon? You don't look like one. Dragons do not need to carry swords. They can fight using their claws."
Hero looked down and shook his head. Everyone nearby gasped and ran over to see Hero. Morin was paralyzed shortly after hearing this. He transformed into his dragon form and got into his fighting stance. He tried to attack Hero, but Hero backed up. Then, all the dragons tried to attack Hero. Hero dodged all of their moves and took out his sword.
"Why are you trying to hurt me! What have I done!" Hero asked.
"You are a member of the Dragonslayer Order! You must die!" Morin shouted.
Hero backed up and a red and orange dragon flew up and pierced his back with his claws. He was a fire dragon; the most common dragon. Hero reached behind him and felt blood. He thought, "No way. This dragon breached my armor! How could this happen? Was I ripped off?"
Then, Hero fell to the ground as dragons walked over and looked down upon him. The dragons looked at each other in shock and horror, for this had never happened before. Then, Hero fell unconscious. The dragon who hit Hero, walked up and cockily smirked, "Well, he wasn't much. I killed him with one hit."
Rei walked over to the unconscious Hero and touched his neck.
"Nope, he's alive."
The dragon ran over to Hero and shouted, "I'm going to kill this Dragonslayer!" while trying to kill Hero.
Thankfully, the dragons formed a crowd and held him back.
"We'll kill him soon. Don't you worry." Morin replied.
Then, all of the dragons carried Hero to a nearby building. This building, was called the Dragon Order building. This is where all of the dragon masters meet to discuss anything happening in the world of the dragons. This building was huge and had several shops and rooms conveniently located near the main door which included a cafeteria, coffee shop, bookstore and a school devoted to train dragons how to fight and survive. They also had rooms for all of the dragon masters and teachers.
Two guard dragons strapped Hero to a wall in their prison and walked away. The prison was wet, dusty and smelly. It was a very damp prison; you could see the drips of water fall from the ceiling. It was found under the water systems and was sealed behind a secret door to hide it from everyone, but the Dragon Order.
Later, as soon as Hero woke up from his unconscious state, he soon realized that he was strapped to a wall outside of the Dragon Order! Hero looked around frantically and asked, "What are you doing! Why am I tied up!"
"Well… you're going to die soon. The rules state that "If ever there was a Dragonslayer to enter the island of Vinifia, then the Order must slay them"." Morin replied.
"Who wrote those rules?" Hero asked.
"I wrote them. Morin and Alrid of the Dragon Order also wrote them." Rica explained as soon as she entered the scene. She was a yellow and blue dragon. As you could obviously tell, she was pretty old. She was a lightning dragon.
"These rules sound very "last minute"! Did you just make that up!" Hero shouted.
Both Rica and Morin looked at each other and then Rica said, "Is this how you address one of the Dragon Order? I am far older and wiser than you are!"
"Older, yes. Stronger, no. Don't underestimate your opponent!" Hero shouted.
Then, the red and orange dragon from earlier ran up and stabbed Hero with his sharp dragon nails!
"Don't reply like that! Keep your mouth shut, you pathetic Dragonslayer!" he shouted.
The orange dragon, his sister who kicked Rei, ran up to him and shouted, "What are you doing! Don't kill him! He didn't do anything to us!"
"Stay out of this! We must kill this Dragonslayer! Let a REAL dragon do a real dragon's work! The law states that if ever a Dragonslayer were to enter the island, we must slay him!" the red dragon shouted.
Hero looked at them with blood dripping out of his mouth. You could see a weird sense of insecurity in his eyes. There was also a bit of anger, confusion and sadness. It was very obvious.
"What is a Dragonslayer? I don't want to be a Dragonslayer!" Hero shouted.
Everyone looked at him in shock. They saw that Hero truly meant this question, so the red dragon said, "You're one. How can you not know what a Dragonslayer is? Your goal is to slay dragons and try to exterminate them!"
"I'm an Aerian! Well actually, I'm a Wyvernian. I've heard of dragons from my Aerian textbooks, but I would never harm them!" Hero explained.
It was said that only two Wyvernians were born. Wyvernian means, "All is one" in the Aerian language. Hero was Wyvernian, because he was every race. Who could the other Wyvernian be?
"Yes you would. We captured you just in time so you didn't have a chance to try anything! Why, do you think you are stronger than me, a dragon master? Ha! I except your challenge!" Rica shouted.
"Yeah! You tell him, Rica! It doesn't matter what race you are, you could never beat master Rica! Do you agree, Ashley?" the red dragon shouted.
"Well, for once I have to agree with you, Dylan. I don't think he could. But, I don't want him to die. We shouldn't kill him." the orange dragon, Ashley, added.
Rica walked up and untied Hero from the wall. Rica got in her fighting stance while Hero stood still.
"Well? Aren't you going to attack?" Rica questioned.
"How pathetic… you should know never to ask questions in battle! What kind of dragon master are you? Concentrate on the battle!" Hero shouted.
"Why you!" Rica shouted while charging at Hero.
Hero block her attack with Soul Reaper. She looked at him and noticed instead of his normal eyes, they were replaced with courageous, brave, strong, and cool. She was scared by this, because he had more determination than her!
"What's the matter? Wyvernian got your tongue?" Hero asked cockily.
"I won't lose to you!" Rica shouted which boosted her determination.
Hero let go of Soul Reaper and punched Rica's stomach ten times while Soul Reaper remained in the air! Rica was still trying to push the sword back while Hero was punching her with two hands. The sword was still going at it even when Hero didn't hold it!
"What's… happening!" Rica shouted.
"I used gravity to make my sword float in the air while I attack you!" Hero shouted. Then, he grabbed his sword.
"Now, I'm going to show you a move I just invented! Cross Sky Slash!" Hero shouted.
Soul Reaper then split into two swords; both of them were the same size as it, but one was made of light and the other, darkness. They were both as clear as glass, except one was yellow and the other, purple. Hero wielded the sword made of darkness in his left hand while he wielded the light version of Soul Reaper in his right.
Then, Hero jumped up in the air and dove down as Rica stood still in awe. He cross slashed Rica on the chest and she fell back. Blood shot out of her mouth as soon as she landed on the rough dirt. Hero then ran over to her and shouted, "HEAL!"
Suddenly, a white, purifying light consumed Rica. The light faded and she was perfectly healed! Dylan, the red dragon, ran over to Hero and stabbed him with his claws! Hero turned around and felt the devastating blow which successfully hit him in the stomach! Hero fell to his knees and fell asleep.
"Why did you do that! He was healing Rica!" his sister, Ashley, shouted.
"Oh. Oh well, at least he's dead."
"No… I'm… NOT!" Hero shouted.
Hero got up and looked at Dylan. He shook his head and shouted, "Man, you can never die!"
Hero smiled and Rica said, "You… saved my life. Thank you."
Then, Morin ran over to strike Hero, but then he stopped as Rei ran to Hero's aid.
Then, Rei grabbed Hero's arm and it turned into a white dragon's arm! Hero and Morin were both very surprised! Hero was so surprised that he dropped Soul Reaper.
"See, there's no need for violence… he's one of us!" exclaimed Rei. Every dragon near by gasped and stared at Hero. Hero transformed his arm back, picked up Soul Reaper and took off running.
"Is this… the legendary dragon we've been searching for?" Morin asked Rei.
"I think so. I'll check into it. After all, I've never seen a white dragon before." Rei replied.
"He is. I sense his power. If we capture him, we'll train him." Rica added.
"I'll take the task." Rei replied while smiling.
While running Hero shouted, "What's happening to me!"
After a while, he spotted a small cavern in a waterfall. He went inside, sat down, and fell asleep. The water drops constantly dripping didn't bother him, because he was really tired. It had been a long day for him. Hopefully, his wounds would heal that night.
Night fell and Hero woke up.
He looked to see if anyone was there, but alas, there was no one. Then, he got up, and walked to the spot where he met Rei, hoping he would be there so he could talk to him. He sat down in the moon's pale light and saw a purple, dark aura light the sky up.
Suddenly, a purple and black dragon stood right in front of Hero! The dragon had sharp, black nails and a red sheen to his hair. He was about seven feet tall and stood on his two hind legs, just like all the other dragons. He was a dark dragon. Hero jumped up, drew his sword, and asked, "What do you want?"
The dragon looked away and scoffed, "Wow, you changed."
Hero took a step back and whispered, "Yui! Is that you!"
Then Yui looked at Hero and said, "No. I am a sage of the realm of darkness now. It was because of you that I was exiled! Now you must pay!"
"Sage of darkness? What's gotten into you!" Hero questioned.
"Only the truth… and why you should never trust an Aerian! You got me exiled because of your own greed!" Yui replied angrily.
"Actually, I'm Wyvernian. Man Yui, you've gotten duller!" Hero shouted in the same way Yui did earlier.
"You… I will kill you! You sold me out to get your way!" Yui shouted back.
Hero looked in Yui's eyes as he closed in on him.
"No! It wasn't my fault! I would never tell anyone! All the good times we had together… I would never give them up for money! If you are my friend, you would believe me. Please… understand." Hero exclaimed.
"How pathetic… you don't understand, do you? I am an Iyallanos… my real father was the same man who murdered your parents!"
Hero dropped his sword and fell to his knees. He started crying uncontrollably and asked, "Why Yui! Why would you betray me! I thought we were-"
"Don't ever call me your friend! Because of you, I lost everything! For that you must pay… Face me or die!" shouted Yui.
Hero picked up his sword and threw it to his right. Yui looked at Hero's sword and laughed.
"Fine, no weapons then! You just threw away your only chance of beating me! Do you realize what you are doing?"
"I don't care! I will show you the truth!" Hero shouted.
Hero looked closely at Yui's sword. It was a yellow sword with a flame design in the middle. The outline of the blade was yellow and the design was light-blue. It appeared as a holy sword.
Then, Yui grabbed his sword and threw it to his right, just like Hero did. Yui transformed into his dragon form, dashed forward and attempted to slash Hero's neck. Hero transformed his left arm just in time to block Yui's piercing nails. He used his dragon arm as a shield against Yui.
"Where did your sword go when you transformed?" Hero asked Yui.
"Since we both transferred to this world with our swords, we were fused to them. When I transform, my sword becomes a part of my body. I thought you would know this, because you are half-genius. Oh well." Yui replied.
Then, Hero parried Yui's next move with his arm.
He had much more defense with his dragon arm. The only problem was his offense. Even dragon nails can't pierce the hard scales on his dragon arm, but since he didn't have Soul Reaper and he can't fully transform, he didn't stand a chance.
After parrying the attack, Hero accidentally lost his balance. Yui seized this opportunity by attacking Hero's chest at full speed. He made three deadly slash marks. When Hero caught his balance, he grabbed his chest as blood leaked on the cold grass. Then, Yui drove one of his sharp nails into Hero's right shoulder, impaling him. Hero gave a quiet cry of pain as he grabbed his shoulder that was bleeding heavily.
Hero got up gripping his shoulder and started walking towards Yui!
"What strength… what perseverance… all wasted." Yui said calmly.
Hero attempted to transform his arm, but it wouldn't work! Instead, he started to cough up blood.
"Just as I thought… you are weak. Your body isn't used to the change."
When Hero came over to Earth, his body was transformed into a dragon body. He was Wyvernian and dragon. The chance of an Aerian or any race coming into Earth becoming a dragon is very slim. As soon as he entered Earth, he was reborn. The law of trans-dimensional transportation states that one must be reborn to cross between dimensions to exist in that world and the other. That is why he's a dragon.
Yui calmly walked over to his sword and picked it up from the ground. Then, he raised it above his head and shouted, "It's time to end this! DIE HERO!"
With one swing from the heavenly sword, he unleashed a devastating force of light discharge. The wave of holy light energy hit him, causing to fly back two hundred feet. This blast should have killed him, but instead he was out cold.
Assuming he was dead, Yui transformed into his dragon form and flew away. For some reason, he left Soul Reaper there. He probably forgot…
The next day, Hero awoke and found himself in Rei's house.
Rei saw him and said, "Good morning! I don't know what happened to you last night, but I'm guessing it was a fight. How do you like your eggs?"
Hero looked at him and replied, "I just encountered my long, lost friend, who wasn't very happy to see me. I hate eggs."
Rei laughed and asked, "Did you lose?"
"Yeah." replied Hero.
"I want to become stronger. Please… can you train me?"
Rei stopped frying eggs for himself and answered, "Sure. We'll start at noon. You'll need to learn the basics about being a dragon, like how to transform at anytime, before I can teach you about combat."
"But first, I have to tell you the truth." said Hero.
"There is another world, parallel to this one. This is originally where I came from. The planet is almost the same as it is here. Most of my people are excellent swordsmen. They use ultra sonic sword techniques capable of exceeding the speed of light and faster. When my friend Yui and I were dueling, time was the main element we used in this battle. We could adjust how fast we were moving and how fast it took to slay an opponent. Time is out of balance on my world Aeris, so we can use it to our own needs. I entered this world through a portal with two other people, Yui and Yui's dad, who is my parents' murderer. When you enter the portal, for a period of time, you don't exist. When you transfer to each realm, you must be reborn, in order to live. Surprisingly, when I came through the portal, I was reborn as a dragon... Just like my friend Yui. Now, I must avenge my parents… and slay the man who killed them! To do this, I need your help. If you could train me to become a good enough fighter in my dragon form, than surely I could slay my parents' murderer. Right now, I can only transform my left arm. With your aid, I'm sure I can go full-dragon. Please… help me."
Rei gave Hero a long, blank, confused stare.
Moments later, he started laughing and said, "Of course I'll help you! I'll do everything in my power to aid you! Follow me; I know the perfect place to train. It's away from people, so we can remain focused."
Then, the two left for the training spot.
"Ok Hero! You're first lesson begins now!" Rei shouted as soon as they entered the temple.
Hero looked around and answered, "Umm… ok? Sure. Watch this!" Then, Hero's arm was engulfed in a white flame. It transformed into a white dragon arm.
"Is that good?" Hero asked.
"No! That was horrible! I wanted you to fully transform! Man… you'll have a lot of training to do…" Rei said.
Then, Rei transformed into a golden colored dragon.
"See, this is what you should look like. Try-"
Then, Hero transformed fully into a white dragon. Rei stood in awe and gasped. "Woah… man. It took me a long time to transform! How did you do that?"
"I concentrated my soul energy and pictured a dragon. Then, I transformed. Pretty cool, huh?" Hero asked.
"Uhh… I've never thought of it that way. I just concentrate and poof, I'm a dragon. By the way, did you know that since you're reborn that you are not a human nor a Wy.. what's it called. You are one hundred percent dragon now. You were born with a human side too, but that's just to disguise your true dragon nature. In other words, you are a dragon in human skin." Rei explained.
"Uhh… no I'm not. Sure I was reborn, but that doesn't mean I'm not Wyvernian. Right now, I'm one hundred percent Wyvernian and dragon." Hero explained.
"How could you be two hundred percent?" Rei asked confused.
"Well… I figure that since I live here in the Dragon Realm, I live in the Dragon Realm. Since I transferred, I also live on Aeris. That's why. I currently exist on two worlds… that means I can transfer to Aeris at any time and still exist there."
"Wow… that's cool."
"Yeah. Here's a question for you. How come any of the humans or Dragonslayers haven't come to this island?" Hero asked.
"Well… this is kinda the Dragon Realm we live in right now. When you took that elevator, it must of transferred you over here. Otherwise, we have to use almost all of our energy to get over there. I've never been there, but I know what it looks like because of the school I went to. They had pictures in the text books. Dragonslayers cannot come to the islands, because they slay dragons. Instead, they stay in the area in the west. The Dragon Realm consists of ten parts; Vinifia Island, Sayar Island, Crescent Island, Atlas Island, Kailia Island, Aaqcina Island, Ician Island, Lacaio Island, Final Grounds and the area in the west." Rei explained.
"But what if they did come here? What would happen?" Hero asked.
"Then… we'd call the other Dragon Islands to help us."
"Really?" Hero asked.
"Yeah. So let me get this straight, there are three worlds in one place?"
"What do you mean?" Hero asked.
"Well, Earth is parallel to the Dragon Realm. You live in Aeris, and that is parallel to both of the other two parallel worlds. Doesn't that mean there are three worlds in one spot?" Rei asked.
"Yeah. There are also four realms. The Realm of Light, the Realm of Darkness, the Realm of Earth and the Dragon Realm. Supposedly, if you're good when you die, you go to the Realm of Light. If you are evil, you go the Realm of Darkness. We are currently in the Dragon Realm and the humans live in the Realm of Earth. My world, Aeris, is not a realm, because time is out of balance. For it to be a realm, it has to have time orderly. In all, there are three worlds and four realms." Hero explained.
"How did you… do that? Are you… a genius?" Rei questioned.
Hero smiled and replied, "Half-genius. In other words, I think normally, but when danger approaches, my genius kicks in. Also, I can think faster than a genius and an Aerian combined."
"How can you?" Rei asked.
"Well, I am technically both a Wyvernian, dragon and genius. The normal mind only uses about ten percent of the mind daily. A genius can use about fifteen to twenty percent. A dragon can use about eleven percent. Combine all of them together and you get twenty-six percent." Hero explained.
"Wow… you're smart. Does that mean you can use psychic powers?" Rei asked.
Hero laughed and replied, "No. I can just think twice as fast as normal people."
"So how did you like that transformation? Did I do good?" Hero asked.
"That's was… sad."
"What is it! I transformed!" Hero shouted.
"Not that… I'm jealous. The chicks will be all over you and your dragon six pack." Rei replied.
"Six pack?" Hero asked.
"I forgot… you're not from the Dragon Realm. I have an idea. I'll throw in slang lessons. No charge. I might even add history lessons too." Rei said.
"Wow! Thanks master Rei!" Hero replied happily.
"Uhhh… no. That won't do. Just call me Rei, ok?"
"Sure. Rei it is." Hero replied.
"Ok, now. Transform five hundred times." Rei said.
Hero sighed and began transforming. That day was a really long day. It was only the first day of the whole year that they agreed to train with each other. Sometimes Hero lost confidence, but he always regained faith and trained hard. Also, Rei taught him almost every phrase, slang word, catch phrase, and pick up line imaginable. For Hero, it was a great learning experience. For Rei, it was a nightmare and a lesson in life. The lesson was:
Never train an Aerian how to do a dragon's work. They always can beat you in everything.
