 Thank you to those on discord once again for editing this chapter.

A deep heavy breathing could be heard within the walls of a deep cave. Soft movements could be heard from a pair of eyes that were closed. The owner of the eyes was a dragon larger than most mountains.  The eyes stirred for a moment before opening, the eyes larger than most humans focused before the head of the giant sat up, the eyes began to glow.

Great Wyrm Dragon: “... Strange… My ancient blood stirs once more.”

The dragon shifted, which caused the grass, moss and rocks that had formed around its body to break and crumble. A half of the mountain which had grown off its back fell, causing the local animals and monsters to scatter like scared rats. An ancient terror had awakened, this action of it simply moving was enough to cause most kingdoms to riot and plunge themselves into ruin.

The dragon’s head lifted above the local mountain range shifting its giant eyes around as if searching for something. It took a deep breath before yawning once, within its range of detection through his draconic true sight, a man in black leather armor and a long red and black coat was plainly visible. He appeared human except for the red horns that had sprouted out of the back of his neck. The man remained at the edge of the dragon’s range of detection before establishing a connection telepathically to the man.

Great Wyrm Dragon: “What brings a demon to this land?”

Demon: “I apologize if I disturbed your sleep, ancient one.”

The dragon stares off to the east, its eyes blinking once trying to focus on the disturbance that had caused it to awaken from its slumber. It didn’t care about the man in the least, it was simply there sleeping, but something ancient stirred him to rise and prepare.

Demon: “Lord Ancient one, I seek your power, I have awaited you for nearly ten millennia for your awakening.”

The dragon snorts hearing those words frustrated at first before attempting to stand up. This action alone caused the entire mountain on its back to crumble and fall apart, it stretched its giant form out breaking another mountain nearby down before a giant yawn escaped its maw. It stretched out its wings which blocked out the sun of the entire valley of death. The magnificence of the wings stretched out, showing off golden scales of the Great Wyrm. Its aura alone was enough to crush the demon’s body to the ground, it resisted by still being so far away, merely standing on the nearby mountain in front of the Sovereign Wyrm caused the demon to want to escape. The demon had a mission, and the demon was going to carry it out.

Demon: “Lord Ancient one, if I can’t have power than a single answer shall suffice, I shall leave your presence completely.”

The dragon turns its head focusing on the demon for once a strange sensation of pressure forced the demon to kneel staring up at the dragon. Sweat rolled down the demon’s body, taking every drop of willpower it had to resist collapsing or passing out under the dragon’s gaze.

Demon: “Forgive me Lord Ancient, I need a single answer…”

The dragon forms a smile across its huge face seemingly interested in the demon in front of him. It was rare for a creature to not end up passed out under its gaze alone. So the dragon chuckled which caused the air around it to ripple with ancient power. It stopped chuckling before leaning its head forward, resuming a closed mouth once more.

Dragon: “I have awoken due to a call from my ancient blood, the mission is vague. I must take the form of a local creature of this time. I shall aid you, in exchange I would like for you to teach me the ways of the ways of the normal people of this time. I assume this is a good deal for a creature like you who seeks my power.”

The demon raised its head fast hearing the ancient dragon of the god’s words. It willingly kneels down, remaining still upon its response.

Demon: “ You have my word, ancient one, I shall guide you myself to assist you in this mission in return for your favor.”

The dragon’s body shifted and rapidly shrunk, turning into a human male with handsome features, long golden hair hugging his form wearing a cloth kimono with white and gold emblems around showing off a divine flair for the human man. The man walked up to the demon from thousands of miles away in an instance before nodding towards the demon.

Dragon: “Call me Gurge while in this form demon, what shall I address you as?”

Demon: “This powerless one’s name is Verrik, allow me to escort you for your mission”

The demon stood up and took place next to the dragon’s side looking up to the taller man with a raised eyebrow curious about the lord dragon’s mission.

Verrik: “May I inquire sir… What are you looking for?”

Gurge didn’t respond at first merely tilting his head before nodding, he folded his arms into his kimono taking a few steps forward.

Gurge: “A child has awoken with my ancient god’s blood, I need to find and take care of the child if I find it in a bad position. I just can’t locate it yet. The blood of the child hasn’t awoken.”

Verrik’s eyes went wide hearing that, the sweat resumed flowing along his body staring at Gurge with a look of disbelief and confusion.

Verrik: “Lord Gurge, wouldn’t this mean that they are…”

The people of the world had no idea that some of the largest gears were turning, the old Demon Lord and the Familiar of the gods walked together to find a child.

 Gurge: “Silence on this matter Verrik, there is no need to speculate, it is my job to move to take care of the child, to raise it and nurture its power. Man cannot move to do so, I worry about corruption that people seek from the child.”

Verrik looked forward, focusing on the way east before nodding.

Verrik: “Of course my lord, I shall follow you till the end of time.”

Verrik kneeled once more on the spot after hearing the Ancients story, deeply respecting the ancient power that it now called “lord”.

Gurge smiled and began to walk forward, this caused Verrik to stand and walk with his lord forward towards their goals. The world would not realize yet that the two strongest creatures had awoken for a princess. 

Hello there, I just wanted to say enjoy the double release, I got massive help from both Mitch and Drago with editing and proofreading the chapters, this chapter was just to small to release on its own so I did a double release, this chapter might be updated later. I just hope you enjoy it.

Side note: I am doing a TON of experimenting with this story. Balance is going to be everywhere, but our protagonist won't be free to wield her power for quite a while.

I have an artist friend drawing up a cover image, its going to feature our protagonist on it, so look forward to it. Thank you for all the follows for the story, I will try not to disappoint.
