My Dragon System

Jack was unsure if he had heard Ray correctly. He was hoping Ray would let him go visit his hometown so he could find out some more information about himself, but now he was asking to go with him? It was something Jack had never expected.

"But Ray, don't you have a city to run? aren't you going to train the others?" Jack asked.

"Slyvia has been doing a fine job without me, the master knights have also trained the students well. I can see that when I went around. To be honest, if I was left here, I feel like I would just get in the way of everyone. I was planning to go out hunting to get stronger anyway."

Although Everything Ray had said to Jack was true, there was another reason why Ray wanted to travel with him. It was more than likely that Jack's parents were also werewolves, or at least they knew something about them and their past.

If Ray was able to get a few to join his army, it would raise its strength exponentially. It was an opportunity he couldn't miss. For some reason, Ray didn't want to tell Jack about his ulterior motives. He didn't know why, but he felt bad about doing this and didn't want Jack to know.

"Boss, I would be happy for you to come with me!" Jack said excitedly.

With that, Jack went to get some rest for the night. If they were going to do this Ray wanted to leave the city as soon as possible, but before doing so, he wanted to visit two more peoples rooms for the night, one of them was Lenny.

On the way back to his room located on the top floor. Ray stopped by a temporary office space that had been converted into a magical room. When Avrion had the funds, they would build two towers, one for Lenny and one for Bliss so they could do their own research but it would take some time before that. In the temporary room. Lenny had moved most of his research books and papers. There were boxes piled everywhere, while Bliss was busy sitting down on a chair, just watching Lenny do all the hard work reading random items Lenny would bring in.

She was quite surprised as she read through the research how much information Lenny had gathered.

"Ah Ray, what did I do to get a visit from you?" Lenny asked.

"Did you think about the proposal I made earlier?" Ray asked.

Lenny had never officially joined the Redwings, but he had a special position in the army now. Ray had explained the details of the contract and wished Lenny would accept so they could have better communication between each other.

"I have, and I have some conditions before I accept," Lenny replied. "Once the fight with the shadow is over, I wish for you to break the contract. I want to be a free man and enjoy the rest of my time. I would also like all the privileges I currently have. I don't expect you to act this way, but if I wish to do something else or travel on my own accord, I do not need to be granted permission from you. So do we have a deal?" Lenny asked.

Lenny's information was invaluable, there were many times when it had come in handy during the trips, and it seemed he knew more about what was going on in the world then Bliss. Although Bliss could see the future and had been around a long time, she never really mingled with Human's all that much.

"We have a deal," Ray said as he offered the contract to Lenny.

Lenny accepted the contract, and a burning sensation was felt around his wrist. Finally, the mark of the Redwings had been placed on his body, and he was an official member. Lenny knew at any time now Ray had complete control of him, if he wanted to, he could make an order, and his life would be in Ray's hands. But after travelling with Ray for a while now, he learnt what he was like.

As long as the two of you had an understanding, then Ray would do you no harm, but if you were his enemy, he would make sure you knew about it. Bliss, as the creator of the system, was unable to be offered a contract, and it wasn't like she would ever take on in the first place.

"There was a second reason why I came here tonight." Said Ray. "I was hoping you would be able to tell me a bit about werewolves, just what is Jack exactly."

Lenny then placed down a box he had in his hands and placed it down onto the floor. "You're planning to go with him, aren't you?" Lenny asked.

Ray didn't reply, but just from this, he already had his answer. "The boy came to me before. Honestly, i couldn't tell him much. Similar to dragons, werewolves have become but a myth, but we have concrete evidence that werewolves did exist, I mean Jack is living proof of that. The only thing I can do is warn you I told you before about how a long time ago a war broke out, and how there were two sides, one who chose to protect the humans and the other which chose to tried to rule them. Honestly, I thought both sides were extinct, so just keep that in mind that Jack's family could come from either side." Lenny explained.

Bliss started laughing in the corner. Right now, a human was warning one of the strongest beings to ever live on the planet, about a bunch of wolves that used to harm humans. The damage that they had done was only a fraction to what Ray had done, which was why Bliss never even bothered to intervene. Although Lenny had no clue what was going on and before he could even ask. Ray was already leaving the room.

"Look after the kids while I'm gone," Ray said as he exited the room.

As soon as Bliss heard those words, she buttoned up her mouth. "Did I hear that, right?" Bliss said.

"Hear what?" Lenny asked.

"About him asking us to look after the kids?"

"Is that really so strange?" Lenny replied. He knew Ray had always been like this. He protected the redwings no matter what.

But these actions, made her realise that Ray might have changed more then she thought.
