Dragon King's Abused

Episode 6

Years passed and since both of them decided to walk on a different path to change their lives for good, from the moment when they met for the first time, Logan and the Dragon King were always together and grew stronger with the help of one another.

It was like, Logan found a home at last, even when the Dragon king had nothing to offer him with, not even a proper shelter except for food and being by his side all the time until he dies. Even so, it was enough for Logan as he learned to survive all on his own and grew up to be a man with powers as the first hand of the most feared king of all.

Draco made sure to turn Logan into someone who was indeed worthy of his position to stay by the king's side. He taught him how to fight, how to hunt, even how to kill only for the sake of his own life. And Logan learned each and every single thing without any complaint over the past few years.

He was now a fully grown man of twenty-three years old whereas Draco was about twenty-five.

Even though there was not much difference in their ages, Logan surely knows that he could never dare to stand up to the Dragon King ever. Because Draco grew up to be something beyond anyone's explanation.

If Logan was called a strong and capable one among all without any doubt, then the Dragon king was the strongest and his powers were immense. And the huge and the most lethal dragon Egan by his side as a killer machine, he was almost immortal and untouchable by anyone on the entire world.

But still, it was only Logan who could dare to talk to him among all the other men that Draco had in his army of savages.

And only because Logan was the only one to show this little bit of courage ever in the entire life of the Dragon king yet, Draco also considered Logan as the only one with whom he could talk, but only when he feels like.

Yes, that was how they were.

And now, at present time, when the deadly storm had already passed, everyone once again got relieved right after and indulged in some kind of brutal act as the very way of rejoicing their survival. Seeing that the King was certainly enjoying the brutal slaughter that was going on in-between his men currently, Logan had nothing to say, neither he had any powers to stop the act of savagery that was going on right at that moment.

His men were indeed fighting like animals without bothering about the fact that Draco was still present there to cut their heads down, only if he wished to do that.

But it seemed that today Draco had no intention to interrupt.

The entire afternoon went by just like that. All the men were now done with their barbarian fights, and were lying here and there on the dusty ground, being all exhausted due to the riot from before, but only after fulfilling their stomach with the foods that were provided to them.

Seeing them without any kind of worries about any of their goals in life, it was really hard to distinguish those men with the animals who live only for food, and their physical needs in time to time.

The whole surrounding which was in a pathetic condition due to the chaos just a while ago, now fallen all silent. It seemed that the entire forest was once again in some kind of slumber after the hunger's feast. The sunlight which was shining ever so brightly on all of them before, now started to become dim, announcing the arrival of the subtle evening time. The leaves, the twigs and every little thing which was fallen on the dusty ground were moving along with the soft evening breeze, creating a delicate murmuring sound around the entire place.

All the horses that the Dragon King had besides his huge army of savages, during the journey to conquer lands, were also sleeping while some were making the neighing sound time to time, declaring their presence in such a tranquil surrounding.

And the Dragon king was in no different state either. As he too was sitting on the dusty ground of the forest along with others, leaning back on the trunk of the huge tree. His eyes were closed even though he was awake. It seemed that Draco was trying to get some rest even when he knew as well that sleep was not going to come to his eyes that easily, just like every other time.

From far, the frightening sound of Egan's earth-shaking growls kept coming, which were indeed resonating through the air all around the place, warning everyone about his very presence that no one could ignore that easily.

And Logan was busy to gather some log of woods and few other things to lit up a fire to keep everyone warm in the cold dark night which was going to come any time soon.

Even though the entire forest was destroyed by the storm from last night, it was not at all difficult for Logan to find all the resources for tonight. With the help of a few other people, he went on arranging a bonfire in the middle of the forest, not only to warm up the place but also to keep the wild animals away who usually tends to prey on others in the darkness of the night.

It did not take much time, when the last ray of the setting sun left to hide behind the horizon as well, leaving each and every single one engulfed by the menacing darkness of the night, until the bonfire gets all prepared to be ignited only to keep burning until the last hour.

No sooner had the night fell, sounds of all the wild animals started to come one by one from a far distance where the forest was the densest and the darkest, declaring the fact that it was now their time to come out to hunt.

The logs were already set together for the bonfire but it appeared quite difficult for Logan to lit it up any time soon, at least when the storm from last night made sure to make everything soaked in the rain last night, that even the bright daylight could not dry the woods completely.

Seeing Logan struggling to make the flame, the Dragon King who was observing this hard-working man till now, whistled as loudly as he could. And in no time another storm occurred all of a sudden in the dark, while the vicious noise of the flipping of two enormous wings started coming closer with each passing second, and just within a matter of time, two large eyes which were glowing in the darkest shade of crimson even in the darkness of such a treacherous night, came into vision, making everyone completely terrified to witness such a horrible sight.

And in just a flash of a second, Egan breathed fire on the piled-up woods and without much effort, the bonfire started burning in the next second, making a huge flame, that was enough to brighten the whole place removing the darkness of the night, completely.

The huge dragon slowly landed on the earth, making sure that his mountainous body fits in such a place in between the forest without bothering about the fact that he might end up smashing one or two men if they do not move, giving Egan some space. Just when he came down on the ground, just like an obedient fellow, Egan went to the side of Draco and lied down quietly, so that he could rest his huge head beside the Dragon king.

Meeting Egan after a whole day, Draco finally felt a bit relieved as he lifted up his hand and caressed the softer and ticklish part of the dragon playfully for quite some time. It was not that Egan did not respond to Draco's such act, as the huge dragon made some subtle noises, declaring the fact that he was extremely pleased to get such an attention from the King.

It did not take much time for the dragon to close his glowing red eyes, as Egan dozed off to sleep once again after a long hunt for the entire day only to fulfil his hunger just for today. And now he needed to rest, so that he could again look for his prey tomorrow as well.

"Draco, my King." Logan came to stand behind him after some while.

"Yes?" The savage King cared to reply without even bothering to look back at the person who came to ask him about something right at that moment.

"The drinks are here." Logan informed carefully while his men were already standing with a big jar in which there was a lot of mead, enough for King Draco to get himself drunk for tonight.

"Let them coming." With just a few words from Dragon King's mouth, his servants started to come in a line and busied themselves to serve him with the finest mead that they managed to find even after such disastrous storm from last night.

And only after serving the King, the rest of the mead from the stock were distributed among the savages once again. As time passed, it became the night of the drunkards, who soon indulged themselves in some weird kind of exultance tonight.

The flame kept burning, making the whole surrounding a bit warm, while the cold night breeze was always there to warn us about the fact that the night was going to be a lot more chilled.

Again the night turned quiet as most of them now fell asleep already as the mead had already started its effect on the savages, but it was not the same with Draco. Cause he was yet to reach the absolute peace tonight.

Finding that the alcohol was not even enough to make him asleep, Draco stood up at last from his spot and dragged his exhausted body to somewhere, where the light could not even come any longer to bother him.

He kept walking through the forest until the soft sound of water, attracted him to the fall somewhere in between the forest, away from all the noises and hustle-bustle of the world.

Under the moonlight, the entire place seemed alive in the eyes of the dragon king. The waters were falling down in its own pace from the cliff while the lake underneath was shimmering quietly in the chilled night. Everything around the place was creating a magical vibe as if the entire lake, the grass, the trees and everything else was dressed up in silver tonight, only to rejoice this fine night along with nature.

Draco unwrapped the clothes from his body that he was wearing since the last night and let it fall on the soaked ground unconsciously. As if the marvellous view of nature had already pulled the savage king in some kind of trance without any effort.

Without waiting for one single second, the king stepped forward only to dip his legs into the chilled water of the lake with no intention to stop. He kept going ahead, letting his entire body dip into the stream.

The chilled atmosphere did not bother him at all, instead, he found the water a lot pleasurable on his warm skin, as he kept going towards the fall.

Under the moon light, the water was glistening ever so beautifully that even the savage king was astonished to see the offerings of nature.

Even Draco did not realise, for how long he kept swimming in the lake, letting his mind, as well as his body, relax after a really long time, until, the very familiar voice of his enormous dragon came to his ears all of a sudden.

Egan came down to stand near the lake, finding that Draco was already enjoying himself in the cold water of the lake, all on his own. Even the dragon might have felt envious of his King as he tried to get in the water but his enormous size did not let him do so.

Seeing no other way, Egan just sat there dipping his lower portion of the head into the water, and kept watching Draco for the whole night.

Yes, it was how they used to live once.

They used to play with one another, when no one was there by their side.

It was just that, back then, Draco only had Egan to play with and it was the same for Egan as well.

But now, everything changed.

Both of them grew up, and they merely find such opportunity to have such a nostalgic moment with each other.

And Egan, irrespective of being the most lethal beast, was not at all unaware of their situation, as he kept recalling their moments together from the past, while he was dying to get back to those days once again, when everything about them was so pure and innocent.

But, it was just that, both of them knew that it was quite hard now to get back the oast that they once left.

Little did they know back then, that memories were hard to avoid, no matter how badly they want to forget.
