This silly light dragon, Sadori... This abomination knew, where Ayame Kessho is, but he didn't want to tell him!

Well, it was Ryushi's fault. If you bully someone since you've known that they exist, you can't expect that they'll love you. But what Ryushi could do? He loved bullying Sadori. And especially loved using Sadori's... condition.

Ryushi laughed, rubbing his hands, when he remembered, how beautiful and funny Sadori looks, when he's choking and laying on the ground.

Maybe this is how he will force him to show him the way? But he has to find him first. He's been trying for a few days, so it won't be that simple. This kid must have somehow escaped after Ryushi had injured him and thrown him to the ground. Sadori fell on the trees. Ah, that bang, that sound of trees breaking... And not only that, because some bones must have gone too.

Ryushi put his feet up on the armrest and looked at the ceiling. His red eyes narrowed as someone knocked on the door.

"Open" he said in a low, hoarse voice.

His subordinate entered the room. Winged, but he was even pretty smart.

"Good morning, Ryushi-sama" said winged, bowing.

"Something happened, Akishi?" asked Ryushi.

The winged smiled mysteriously.

"I brought newbies with me" he said, letting two men in.

Ryushi stood up from the armchair and walked to the shorter man. He grabbed his chin.

"Red eyes and perfect human form. Are you a fallen?" he asked.

"Yes, Ryushi-sama" nodded the fallen.

"Name."

"Yoshiri" replied the fallen.

"Good" Ryushi let him go and he wiped his hand on Akishi's shirt.

Akishi frowned.

"But dirty. When was the last time you washed yourself, stinky?"

Yoshiri frowned. He couldn't remember, when he took a bath last time. Finally he gave up and shrugged.

"You have to bathe at least once every week, do you understand?" Ryushi pointed his finger at him. "Akishi will be checking on you. If not, my trusted fire dragons will set your big ass on fire."

Yoshiri trembled and his greasy hair covered his face. Akishi chuckled like a hyena.

"Shut up" growled Ryushi and Akishi stopped chuckling instantly. "And you..."

Ryushi grabbed Yoshiri's friend's hair.

"Name."

"Bakei."

"Bakei... Are you a human?" asked Ryushi, smiling and showing his white fangs.

He threw Bakei to the floor.

"Tell me, the stinking plague that consumes the land of our ancestors with corruption, by what right do you even enter this house?"

Akishi backed up against the wall as Ryushi's long black hair rippled and the man returned to his dragon form with clouds of dark gray smoke.

"Ryushi-sama..." Bakei covered his face with his left hand, leaning on his right arm.

"Did you seriously think that you wouldn't become my dinner?" Ryushi rested his front paws in front of Bakei. "Really?"

"I won't let you down, Ryushi-sama" Bakei said firmly, revealing his face. "I won't!"

"Prove it" Ryushi stepped on his chest.

Oh, a habit after Sadori.

Exactly... Sadori...

"Fallen?"

"Yes?" Yoshiri stood slightly scared next to Akishi.

"You, winged and that human trash" Ryushi raised a paw. "You're going to help me catch the light dragon."

"You were supposed to settle it at the council, Ryushi-sama" noticed Akishi.

"Be silent, winged" he growled. "Let's assume it was the council."

"Yes, Ryushi-sama" Akishi bowed deeply, Yoshiri picked up Bakei and they both did what the winged did.

Ryushi chased his subordinates away and returned to his chair.

They'll help him get Ayame Kessho and then they'll disappear. After all, they couldn't have known that Ryushi intended to keep only the dragons alive. He had two trusted subordinates among them, Souta and Yori, so it wouldn't be too bad. And he'll spare chimeras in exchange for these mutts a'ka light dragons. They'll be the first ones to disappear.

Ryushi laughed maliciously. Yes. And he'll destroy Sadori in the end. He let him see his power, which is something what such a weakling like him will never have.
