My Dragon System

Ray was currently running as fast as he could to the meetup point. He no longer could rely on Noir as she was currently evolving but that didn't matter too much. Even without Noir's help, Ray's running speed was faster than most.

While navigating his way through the forest, Ray couldn't help but get a thought out of his mind. When Iron claw was talking about Tuffy's lies, one of them was about Tuffy seeing a dragon. Of course, Ray thought that it couldn't be true.

Even when Ray was still alive as a dragon, he wasn't able to find another one for a 100 years but that didn't mean there wasn't one. Ray thought it was a shame that he had to leave in such a rush, if he had more time, he would have been able to use the Dragons truth to see if Tuffy was lying or not.

At least Ray now knew were Tuffy was and when he could leave the city freely, he would be able to come back and ask Tuffy about the dragon in the future.

Meanwhile back at the academy, Slyvia couldn't stop thinking about the message she had seen the other day. "Dragon's roar." The only thing that she could think of was perhaps the ability was somehow linked to that of the Dragon Knights.

Not much was known about the Dragon Knights, only the Elders were old enough to have seen them in person. After giving it much thought Slyvia though it would be best to ask Von about them.

"Ha, I see that message has interested you as well," Von said with a big smile. "To be honest, even between the elders not much is known about the Dragon knights. They kept a lot of things to themselves."

"Is there anything more you can tell me about the dragon knights?" Slyvia asked with her puppy dog eyes.

Von thought hard for a moment before replying.

"Ah, we actually have a book at Avrion."

Sylvia's face suddenly sank.

"But I have already been through the library and read all the books about the Dragon knights."

"But that was before you were an Elder, now you also have access to the Elders personal library," Von said. "There's a collection inside, of all the writings each member had ever done. A room just about the Dragon knights you might even say. Although many of the words written down seem to be in some sought of code."

"What are we waiting for!" Slyvia said excitedly. "Let's go."

"I'm afraid there are too many eyes on us at the moment. It's best if we wait for things to calm down."

Slyvia was disappointed but she understood. Von was always doing things in his best interest for her. Slyvia also had her own matters in the Elders room to deal with. Every meeting so far there seemed to be one person in particular that had it out for her and that was the master knight Delbert.

Slyvia thought back to just before her brothers had left the academy, they had told her to be careful. The only way the Dark guild was able to plan an attack, that big, was if a high-ranking member was involved and Slyvia had her guesses that it had something to do with Delbert but right now she had no proof.

Von could see Slyvia had a complicated look on her face, she had a lot on her shoulders after all and she was only 17 years of Age.

"Slyvia, don't think we are doing nothing about what is going on at Avrion, we shall make our move soon, just wait till the time is right."

Ray had managed to safely meet up with Billy on time and just like before, Ray travelled in the back of the carriage to Avrion city. He had got in just as easy as he got out but of course, this wasn't something Ray could do all the time, as it relied on Von's trusted men being on shift.

Ray thanked Billy once more for all his help but before Ray was able to leave, Billy had received a message to pass on to Ray from one of his men.

Billy went up to Ray to whisper into his ear.

"This evening come back to merchant hall, Bay 22 right here. There will be a meeting organised by Von."

Ray was quite surprised to hear these words; he was wondering if something had happened in a short time while he was away. When Ray had arrived back at his dorm, it turned out he wasn't the only one invited to this meeting, all his roommates had too.

Once evening had arrived, A knock was heard at the dorm's door. To everyone's surprise, it was Wilfred who was there.

"Everyone grab a cloak, we must do our best to not be seen tonight." He said. "A secret meeting is about to take place and you must not speak a word of this to anyone."

All of them did as they were told and followed Wilfred to the merchant's bay. The other students didn't know their destination but Ray had already been informed beforehand.

The guards that would have usually been stationed outside and inside the merchant building, couldn't be seen and everyone Ran straight through to Bay 22.

Once they had reached the bay, they were all taken to a room in the back which had a large round table in the centre. It looked like it was able to fit about 30 guests on it.

When the students entered the room, they were surprised to see Slyvia and Von already there sat down but they weren't the only ones. Sir K, Bernardo, Jack, Badger and Sloth were also there but there was one more that surprised them even more.

It was a woman who was sat down by Sir K's side. Ray had a familiar feeling when looking at her but couldn't quite put his finger on it, until.

"Mother!" Martha shouted.
