Journey of the Dragon

Chapter fifty four : Glauss's past story

 Dragon, who has been freed from the control of Stellan flaur spellstone, is now able to tell everyone the reason behind all his bad deeds, and that also makes Dragon have marathon to explain everything that has happened, he must tell everyone who asks explanation from him. And it is a result that he must doing for the deeds that He has done.

 Long story short, Dragon has met with his friends back in Eijin Village, and now Dragon has made them all understand about the problems he has been through. So after that Tatsui, Gill, and Glauss began to make a decision, they would not allow Dragon to face the problem alone, from now on as their friends they would join Dragon to find the whereabouts of the Night Crow (who had killed Dragon's teacher), and they would join Dragon on his adventure.

 Even though Dragon refused their help because facing the Night Crow was a dangerous thing, Dragon's friends still insisted on joining, and there was nothing Dragon could do to stop their determination, therefore Dragon inevitably had to accept help from them, because they were the ones who did great things for Dragon, so Dragon couldn't resist their request of willing to help Dragon.

 From then on, Dragon will continue his journey again to find the Night Crow, and this time he is not alone, because Mellinda, Tatusi, Gill, and Glauss will accompany him.

 At night in Eijin Village, or more precisely where Tatsui lived. Apparently their conversation was still not over, when they were still gathered at one table, Glauss said something to Dragon.

 "Then what are you waiting for? Quickly use the power of Ghistory's necklace to find the whereabouts of the Night Crow.” Said Glauss.

 Then Dragon replied, "Well, actually I've tried that many times ... But the images that always appear in my brain are just blurry and unclear flashes of the Night Crow."

 "Could it be, because the Night Crow doesn't want to be found?"

 "What?"

 "... He has incredible speed, right? So since his existence can move around so quickly, it's hard to determine exactly where he is right now." Gill said.

 “That's right, Ghistory's necklace can indeed find the whereabouts of an object or person, but if the object keeps moving around, then Ghistpry's necklace can't determine it with certainty ... If for example Ghistory's necklace finds that Night Crow is currently in a forest, then we go to the forest, but suddenly his existence has moved again to another place in an instant, that means it will be difficult for us to be able to meet him ... It's different if the existence of that object or person isn't much moving or even just staying in one place, then there will be a greater chance for us to be able to find it ... I guess that's the disadvantage of the Ghistory necklace's search power. " Dragon said.

 “So that means, even though we use the power of Ghistory's necklace, only the Night Crow who can't be found easily?” Asked Glauss.

 "I think so." Dragon replied.

 "But ... Do you have a definite clue about the Night Crow's plans or schedules perhaps?" Gill asked Dragon.

 "Hmm, actually there is one clue ... Before taking his last breath, Kai had said to me, that the Night Crow and the Grim Claw are planning something against Gold One." Dragon replied.

 “What?? Planing something?”

 "Gri- Grim claw?" Said Glauss while feeling shocked after he heard the name of ‘Grim claw' being called.

 "Hmm, I thought you would know him, Glauss." Dragon said to Glauss.

 "Of course, He is the one who made me into a hybrid (Human half animal)." Said Glauss while looking down.

 "Can you tell us in detail?" Gill asked Glauss.

 "Yes, Glauss, tell us." Tatsui said.

 "Long ago, even before we were born, the Grim claw was a scientist, as well as the inventor of a hybrid DNA serum that could make humans possess animal powers, and the first person he used as a test material, of course, was himself, so he could turn into a human Eagle, and finally he could become a member of the Emperors unity under Darkros' leadership… Then, after Darkros was defeated by King Velodros, he continued his life as an evil scientist who experimented on humans. ”

 "You know that much information, you really are great." Said Dragon.

 "Of course, since I was one of his experiment victims, when I was a child, I was kidnapped and lived in his hideout base for several years ... But luckily, when I become a teenager, I managed to escape from that place. Then finally I continue to live as an outer Knight in the Nexus kingdom, by using the power of my DNA Hybrid. ”

 "Wow, that must have been the hardest time of your life." Gill said.

 "Hmm, yes." Glauss replied briefly.

 "Can you tell us more about Grim claw?" Tatsui asked Glauss.

 “About 25 years ago, after Darkros was defeated in the great war in the Nexus Kingdom, the members of the Emperors unity began to split up and go about their own business. Grim claw started his ambition to create his own human hybrid army, he built many hidden research facilities in various places to develop his hybrid DNA serum, besides that he also started k********g small children to be used as guinea pigs, like what happened to me .. At the facility, I and the other children were detained and treated like an orphanage, which would prepare us to become troops. We were given hybrid DNA injections of all kinds of animals until they found the right animal type for us, and it was very painful procces.”

 "Ugh."

 "Then we were all trained carefully from childhood so that we could become Grim claw's powerful Hybrid troops ... In that training, many of us couldn't keep up so they had to be tormented and suffer, besides that many of us fell and didn't survive when undergoing training. Until one day, I and my friends did an escape attempt from there ... But unfortunately, I was the only one who can escape. " Then Glauss lowered his head when he thought of his fallen friends.

 "Hmm." Then Dragon rubbed Glauss's shoulder.

 "From then on, as you can see today, I am an outer Knight who is free to do wherever I want."

 “Wow, what an amazing story ... If that is still happening today, then we must save the children who were being an objects of the experiment there. Besides, there is a high possibility that the Night Crow is at the Grim claw's place… Then, I will use the Ghistory necklace's power to be able to find the Grim claw's whereabouts now.” Said Dragon.

 "Are you really wanna going there?" Asked Glauss who was a little hesitant, because it seemed he had a sense of trauma towards the Grim claw's figure.

 "Yes of course, now things have changed Glauss ... You're not a teenager anymore, and you've gotten stronger. Besides, you will go there with us. So you don't need to be afraid. " Gill said to Glauss.

 "Afraid? Who's afraid? … Of course I’m not afraid, let's go over there right now. ” Glauss said as he braced himself up.

 "Hahaha he's so funny." Said Mellinda.

 "Looks like we've already determined which place to go next." Tatsui said to Dragon.

 "Yes, of course ... Let's find the Grim claw."

 "Then what about your promise to go to Nexus Palace ??" Mellinda asked spontaneously.

And of course it just made his friends confused, so they all said at once.

 "Nexus Palace?"

 Then Dragon said, "Ye- yes, I still have a promise to Princess Reina that I will come to Nexus Palace to tell all things about What had happened to me. Also i must speak to the King and General."

 "Haah ..." Then Dragon's friends immediately felt weak while leaning on their respective seats.

 "I thought we were going straight to where the Grim Claw was." Tatsui said.

 "Yes, I can't wait to get into action." Gill said.

 "But we should really go to the Nexus Kingdom to recover Dragon's good name first ... Because maybe, after that, we will also get help from Princess Reina and the King Velodrian." Glauss said to them.

 "Hmm, thats right ... But for now, you should all sleep and rest first. Tomorrow we will talk about this again,” Said Dragon.

 After that, finally they all went into their respective rooms to go to sleep, because it was already late at night, and tomorrow it seems like they will start their journey to the Nexus Kingdom, to meet the Princess and the King first, then they will leave. to the Grim claw's hideout base to rescue the experimental victims as well as to find the whereabouts of the Night Crow there.
