Bloodline

Dagon looked towards the hooded man and realized that they were flying towards their home. The amazement in Dagons eyes immediately shown. "Sir, you can fly??? Are you also a hero?" Dagon eagerly asked with excitement in his eye. " A hero huh? Well you can put it that way, hehe" with a smug look on his face. Dagon hearing this was so excited he almost fell from the mans hands. "Oops, hehe sorry sir, It's just me and my brother have always wanted to fly and become heros like you!"

Dagon gave a innocent smile towards the hooded man.

"Kid being a hero is a lot of hard work, are you sure you can handle it, hahaha." the hooded man laughed. As he laughed his hood came off. Dagon got a good look at this man. He looked like he was in his 50's with a big beard and white hair. "OH shoot, promise you won't tell anyone what you saw ok kiddo?" Cautiously the man told Dagon. "No worries sir, It'll be a secret between us." Dagon giving the biggest smile towards the hooded man. The man smiled back and they soon arrived at the hut.

Hearing the air rustle outside Mary rushed outside. Upon seeing the hooded man with her two children, Mary turned hostile. The hooded man seeing Mary was surprised. Flames appeared around Mary, they then turned to all sorts of weapons pointing towards the man. "GIVE ME, BACK, MY CHILDREN!!"

Lost in this spectacle Dagon couldn't speak up and stop his mother. The hooded man stood still and gave a smirk. " Calm down lady I mean no harm." Hearing this Mary tensed down a bit, but then suddenly said, " Take off your hood then, If you're sincere." Seeing the weapons still aiming at him, the man pulled down his hood to reveal his old face.

Mary upon seeing his face immediately recalled her flaming weapons, and bowed down, "My apologies, Your Majesty." After a long sigh the man or rather King raised his hand, " It's fine, you didn't know, I knew you were only protecting your kids." Mary got up and gestured Dagon to come over, but looking towards the unconscious Azri she paled and ran over. The King seeing this gave her room to check up on Azri.

Mary in distress, asked Dagon what happened. Dagon retold the story of what happened through his eyes. "You both encountered a tiger and snake?" Mary exclaimed in surprise. Feeling guilty for what happened Dagon asked, "Mom? Are you mad at us? If you are, I-I'm sorry." Hearing this Mary felt bad. "No No No dear I would never be mad at you or Azri, I'm just glad you didn't get hurt."

The king looked at Azri with a pondering gaze then looked at Dagon. After Mary was done talking to Dagon, she invited the king in. "Please Your Majesty, It may not be much but it's all we have, please come in a have some food." Hearing the word food, the king nodded his head and helped carry Azri, " It's quite fine actually, all those big boring palaces bore me so it's nice to experience a change for once." With that Mary and the King went inside the hut.

Dagon just now realized that the hooded man was a King. Dagon got so excited that he actually meet a king, and he was even so close to one too. Dagon was all smiles but then he realized he was the only one left outside the hut and quickly rushed inside still smiling.

As the king placed Azri down on his bed Dagon came in and looked at the king then his mom and just smiled to himself. Looking at this the king and Mary couldn't help but laugh. "HAHA quite a kid you have here." Mary couldn't help but smile and signal Dogan.

"Dogan, Please watch over your brother, I need to have a talk with his Majesty, yell for me if anything goes wrong or needs my attention." Dogan nodded at Mary then turned towards Azri. The King glanced at Dagon and Azri then looked at Mary.

"Shall we talk now, Your Majesty?" Mary spoke towards the King as they walked into another room. The King gave a serious look towards Mary and spoke, " Do you know that the tiger and snake that your sons encountered were rank 2 beasts, not just that, that kid Azri gave off great power even I'm not sure of, from Dagon's story Azri seems to have gone through some sort of transformation, and not a simple one at that." Mary looked at the King seemingly nervous.

"Is something wrong?" The king questioned. "Actually..." whispered Mary. "Those two aren't my children, about 9 years ago, before we were forced out of the village." Hearing that they were forced out, The Kings face visibly twitched. " My Husband and I awoke in the middle of the night to crying coming from our door, He went to check it out and came back with those two. He said that when he opened the door they were there crying and then a black figure streaked into the air disappearing forever."

The King hearing this was visibly shocked. "Was their anything with the children?" Mary stunned that the King would say that. There indeed was an item in face there was two. Mary was hesitant on whether to tell the King or not. Sensing her hesitation, The King smiled" No need to tell me, it's fine. Did you check their talents for cultivation yet? They both seem really eager to cultivate."

"I was going to do that when they were of age but it seems like they might already have unknowingly started." Worried Mary said aloud. Now was the time for the King to be shocked. "You mean they are already in Body Evolution stage?? How's that possible?? Their body shouldn't be ready for that til the age of ten??"

"That's what I thought too, But this morning they complained about their backs hurting, I even checked and felt that they should be in the first realm of Bodily Evolution stage." The King was in deep thought. "I get it, I realize what might've happened, A few years ago on my travels, I met a person who could utilize a bears strength even though he has never cultivated, He told me he used his Bloodline to strengthen himself. This might be a case like that. "

Mary was speechless, she had never heard of Bloodlines. "I will give you this token." Mary took it, on the token it said "King Xi" in bold. "Come to the palace in 2 years, that's when the Sect recruitment will take place, I'll recommend both Dagon and Azri to any sect of their choosing."

Then out of nowhere you could hear Dagon shouting, "MOM, MISTER KING, COME QUICK, AZRI IS WAKING UP." Sounds of coughing could also be heard coming from that direction, and then a voice could be heard, "shut up Dagon, you're too loud."
