Summary: I was born into this world alone, knowing nothing but fear and despair. All that changed when he found me; he took me in and gave me a purpose, a reason to live for. It was because of him I was able to become strong, it was through his teachings that I might be able to achieve greatness. He was my teacher and my father, the dragon of lightning, Anorak.
Oshibana – Year – X775
"Hey Yui, since you don't know where the market is how are we supposed to find it" Ryouta stared at the brown haired girl as she looked at earth and then out of nowhere she looked at him and said, "Well I guess we could go talk to the locals, I'm betting they would know where it is." Both Ryouta and Yui started to walk from house to house until a kid around the age of ten finally answered the door. He wore a black shirt with gray pants and he didn't wear any shoes.
"What do you two want; if you're looking for money I don't have any." The kid stared at the two younger children sizing them up in case they wanted to fight.
"We just wanted to know where the market is you Baka, why would be looking for money anyways I have enough right here." Ryouta pulled the sack of gems from his side and showed it to the black haired kid. The black haired kid stared at the sack of gems for a little while before he grabbed it and ran off. "Hey teme, what are you doing those are mine" Ryouta got up and chased after the black haired boy and dragged Yui after him. They chased the kid up to the train station and then they took a left down the alley when all of a sudden the kid stopped and Ryouta ran full force into him but just bounced off of him almost as if he hit a rock. "Hey teme, what are you doing."
Yui pointed at the shadow in front of the kid with black hair. A tall pale man walked out of the dark and pointed a knife at him and said, "Oh is that the money you owe me Ren?" The pale man grabbed the sack of gems while Ryouta exclaimed that they belonged to him. "Kid shut your mouth before I slice it off of you, understand you little brat." Ryouta looked at the ground out of shame rather than fear. "Now Ren, let's see what you got in this sack of yours." The man rips open the bag with his knife and all the gems inside start to spill out all over the floor. "Well than looks like short stack over there is a pretty rich, I wonder how much money I would get if I took him hostage." The man shoved Ren out of the way and sprinted towards Ryouta trying to tackle him. Yui snaps out of the daze she was in from listening to the conversation and saw that the creepy man was heading right towards them started to get on the ground and eat the dirt.
"Eh, Yui now's not the time to eat … dirt" Ryouta looked at her with his mouth agape as she continued to eat dirt.
Once she finished eating the dirt Yui stood up and stared at the man with a devilish grin. "Oi, teme, it's not nice to steal from kids. Looks I'm going to have to teach you a lesson." The earth and dust around Yui started to collect towards her mouth.
Ryouta thought to himself, 'there's no way that she could be one of us, she can't possibly be a Dragonslayer."
"Earth Dragon Roar" Yui let loose a small stream of gravel, stone and dirt at a high density out of her mouth which shot towards the man and sent him flying out of the alley and into the street. "Hey Ryouta, Ren, let me handle this." Yui rushed out into the street with almost demonic facial features as she climbed onto the chest of the man she just blasted and started to repeatedly punch him in the face.
"Hey Ryouta, that girl, is she a friend of yours." Ren looked at Ryouta with a slight hint of fear hoping that he wouldn't be on the receiving end of her rampage for stealing Ryouta's gems.
"Well I wouldn't call her my friend due to the fact that I just met her, but I would say that she has powers like mine." Ryouta turned and looked at Yui as she had just finished pounding the man with no hair and then she begins to walk balk towards Ryouta and Ren. 'I still can't believe that she is being raised by a dragon. I'll have to ask Anorak about that.'
"Hey Ren, Ryouta, you guys ok" Yui flipped her long brown hair and looked at the two young boys who had fear in their eyes. "You guys aren't scared of me are you?" Ren started to look at the ground and Ryouta noticed so he tapped on Ren's shoulder.
"Hey Ren, why did that man said you owe him money if you don't mind my asking?" Ryouta, Ren, and Yui were walking out of the alley and were headed back to Ren's house after they had picked up Ryouta's gems. Ren looked down at the ground for a little while longer before he finally decided to speak.
"Well 3 years ago both my parents were killed when a thief came into our home to steal our things and at the time he was downstairs I was sneaking down there to get some extra food. He noticed me and at first I didn't notice him till he grabbed me and pinned me to the floor." Ren looked at the ground as he remembered his painful memories. "The next thing I know I started screaming and my parents rushed downstairs to see what's wrong with me and the moment the man noticed them." Ren stops talking as tears start to fall down his face and then he breathes in some air and continues his story. "When he noticed me he kicked me towards the door and I slammed my head and I passed out but not before seeing that the man used magic and this one thing that really stood out was this mark on his shoulder. It was a tattoo of some kind, like a guild mark. It had the picture of a dragon with its claws outstretched. After that I passed out and woke up with my parents dead and everything in my house stolen." Ren started to break down after that and began to cry while Yui just stared into the distance and Ryouta tried to console him.
"Hey Ren, since none of us have any immediate family why don't we be each other's friend; we'll be like family." Yui looked down at Ren with a face that almost meant if he were to say no it would mean something bad. Ren thought about it for a little bit, 'I barely know these guys and according to Ryouta they met each other not long ago either, but I do feel like I could get along with these guys and it would be great to have these guys as a family.' Ren then sat up and looked at Yui, "Sure Yui, Ryouta lets be family." Ren looked at them both with a crazy smile on his face finally rid of the burden in his heart about his parents' death.
After finishing his conversation with his new kazoku and giving the rest of his gems to Ren, Ryouta began walking back towards the west forest of Oshibana; he started thinking about Yui and the powers that she used. 'Anorak has got a lot answer, one of them being why there is a Dragonslayer so close to us.
