Chapter 7 - Ch7: Missing

They first approach the closest which a dragon of frightening scales as if it was made of shap stones.

"This one is Ezra the mighty dragon of protection he is known to be the guardian that help us guarding the borders of the dark forest "

Then they approach the next one a dragon with fiery scales and flaring eyes.

"Raeburn the dragon of fire he is the guardian that gives the power of warmth, with him none would freeze during the battle in the winter"

They approach the third dragon which made Erez shivered the dragon wasn't that big but the eyes that seem to perceive all scared him and his scales which are black as the night giving off an intimidating aura.

"This is the void dragon Ragna it is said she was the one that envelopes the hidden enemies of Argonia no can predict where and when she would attack"

Then they move on to the fourth which was quite similar to Ragna.

"Shadow dragon Ragnar him who wipes the enemy that lurks in the shadows it was said he was the main protector of Argonia"

The family moved again and the last dragon on the corner was like a god of light he gives off a brilliant aura that cleanses any dark feelings you have.

"He is the sun dragon Rafal it was said that every time Argonia was swept with great darkness he would light up the day for us"

Erez look at the sun dragon Rafal and couldn't help but feel astonished with his noble aura.

"And now the last one he was said to be the first dragon and father of all magical beast"

They moved at the center which where the dragon altar stood. Looking at the stone statue of the dragon the family quietly look at him.

"What was his name?"

The boy inquired somehow he felt very attached to all six dragons inside the room.

"Alpha"

"Alpha?"

"It means the beginning" Elek said while fondly looking at the dragon altar.

The family decided to stay for a little longer inside the Pentagon hall before deciding to go inside the treasury.

"Erez I'm going to show you something" Eric begin to smile excitedly and hurriedly pull Erez towards a sword.

"See that floating sword over the center that's the sword of the first Pendragon"

Inside another separate room for artifacts floats a beautiful sword. It's hilt is made out of gold with different elemental crystals embedded on it. Red for fire, green for wind , blue for water , yellow for earth and black for darkness. Then the blade of the sword was similar to a claymore although it was little bit shorter.

"It's pretty big"

"Yes when I first saw it I also have the same thoughts but looking at it now it might just be the right size"

Elek just stood at the entrance of the separate room letting his two sons try out the ancestral sword.

"I can't lift it!"

"Of course you can't even I struggle to even lift an inch on the ground"

Erez gave up trying out the sword Eric then return the sword inside the sphere that protects it.

"You okay brother "

"Shut up and let me breath"

Returning the sword to its proper place drain the strength of Eric then when he stabilize his breathing he immediately drag his brother towards another section of the treasury.

"Seriously his like a little boy excited to show off his new toy"

"Cut him some slack his been working hard since his elder brother's passing "

While the two boys walk around the treasury as if it was an amusement park the couple just observed everything with a smile on their faces.

"Erez this stone here a special stone that measure what type of body you have"

"I know this, this was also called as a talent measuring stone used inside the academy for measurement of the talents of the students"

"Correct you were supposed to take your measurement when you enter the academy but since we have our own we should just try measuring yours"

Erez became slightly nervous he wasn't that confident about what kind of result he will be getting. Deep down the boy knew something was wrong with him but he doesn't know what it is. Since he was seven he's been secretly training his sword but looking at the trainees that would only take a couple of months to defeat him was truly frustrating.

'Calm down nothing is confirm yet let's try it first"

With shaking hands the boy came forward. He look at the black stone on top of its stand feeling even more nervous.

'Deep breath you can do this'

Placing his hand on top of the black stone seconds tick by until it finally shown colors.

"Red" Eric muttered feeling horrified.

"Why!?"

Liliana look shocked her hands that covered her mouth keep trembling.

Elek's expression was no better but instead he look at his son who's figure seem to be dead already.

"Erez"

With comforting voice Elek put one of his hand on the trembling shoulder of the boy and the other to the hand that touch the stone.

"Father I am...I am...*sniff*... a RED!"

The world seem to crashed in front of the little boy as his dreams begin to shattered.

"Calm down Erez remember the sword that the king gave you it woke the energy inside of you, so even if you can't wield a sword the same way like me or your brother could you can still fight!....son you didn't stain the name of our family....Erez!"

Words seem not to reach the boy's ears he still looking at the stone that now turn back to black.

"Red , orange, violet, yellow, green and blue the six body types which represents the capacity of an individual to handle ki "

Erez begin to say then he finally clear his thoughts and look at his father.

"Blue being the strongest having the maximum potential for having the largest pool of ki while red the body type that I have was categorised as a useless body type, incapable of handling even a speck of ki "

"It doesn't matter Erez "

"Whatever body type you have you are still and will always be a Pendragon "

Eric and Liliana slowly approach the two and begun consoling the brokenhearted boy.

"It's fine okay sweetie everything will be fine"

"Father and I will somehow think of something so don't think too much of it"

"Indeed you'll be fine Erez for now let's end the tour and let all of us rest... Erez, we will think of something okay no need to feel depressed "

Despite those words the emotion he have made him depressed and feeling weak. The boy have no choice but to lay quietly on his bed.

*Sniff* *Sniff*

"Now it all make sense....*sniff*....why ...damn it!... almost five years of hard work reach by others within just a few months"

"Damn it...*sniff*...the reason I won't progress was all due to me being unable to gather ki energy.....argh!...."

Like hundreds of needles begin to tear the heart of the young boy yet he doesn't know what he should really do.

"I'm tired"

Crying tired him up slowly his eyes begin to close until.

"!?"

The air begin to tighten Erez felt his hair stood up and chill run to his spine.

Dodging from the side Erez roll down the bed making a thud sound. From where he was previously laying a set of dagger was now stab there.

Erez didn't stop he started rolling to the side barely dodging the rain of daggers.

'This is a sword art!'

The boy stabilize his breathing and secretly push a hidden button from one of the furniture inside his room.

"!?"

"That noise!"

"It's coming from young master Erez!"

The knights and guards resting inside the lounge heard the alarm which alert everyone.

Elek, Liliana and Eric was taken aback they just returned from the treasury and decided to tackle the problem tomorrow but now a distress call came from Erez.

With a burning anger Elek grab his sword and run like speeding lighting scaring even his wife Liliana.

"Erez!"

Elek's panic voice alarm the other guest who decided to stay inside the castle until morning.

"What's happening?"

"I think I heard the baron's voice"

"The baron's quarters are located at the uppermost section of the castle how could you hear it..!?"

The castle suddenly shook which scared everyone inside the castle. Seconds later the guards and knights of the baron all came to check on the young master.

"My lord we heard the alarm what happened?"

The current head of the guards said looking at the devastated room of Erez.

"What happened..!?"

He couldn't finish his sentence everyone inside the castle felt a very powerful bloodlust that almost made them collapsed.

"Arthur called the crows and shadows I want my son before dawn!"

Arthur the head of the guards could only response with a nod having almost been paralyzed looking at the beast like aura of the baron.

The 27th day of the 10th month of the year 567 of the royal calendar marked the day that the kingdom of Acacius was flip upside down by a baron.
