It's a horse, sir. (III)

Adriel summoned his magic, tightening around my body, making me immobilized.

"What is going on?" I yelled in stupor and pain.

Sophia's eyes became wide in surprise. She was confused, just like me. "Brother, I thought you said you will not harm her."

"I never said I would harm her. The blood should only siphon off a small portion of the Dragon's blood." Adriel explained.

I was struggling hard, I could feel the rapid danger that was happening before me. The magic that I barely had was becoming smaller and smaller. I could feel the flames of my spirit becoming lethargic and my body heavy. My skin paled in comparison to how I once was.

"If I die here and now. I will curse you, your sister, and your descendants!" My words were like a hot burning iron. The moment I spoke those words, dark energy swelled around the three of us as Red and black binding energy wrapped around the three of us.

Adriel paled when he heard my words. "Quickly! Disconnect them!"

The doctors got up shakily and rushed over. They disconnected the wires. The dark energy quickly settled. I didn't have any more energy to keep myself awake. The whole ordeal today was taxing on my body, and I needed rest desperately.

"I stand by my words Demon Lord." I hissed, my eyes barely opening and closing. "My life is in my hands. Not yours." I don't know where all this courage came from, but I couldn't just let them toy with my life. I'm a dragon for crying out loud, not a servant or a slave. No Demon Lords will slay me, I will make sure of that.

"How did she know?" The doctors stare at me with confusion.

"Nobody should know that information but the few."

Adriel glared at the doctors to be quiet. He placed his hands on his hips and stared back with double the force. "How do you know what I am?"

"Do you think just because I'm a kid that I wouldn't know?" I replied. The cheat system that was in my head was sometimes useful in its own little way. Even though they were not much to go off on. "I'm a Dragon. I am not anyone's toy!" I stressed those words, so he understood it.

"I saved your life dragon!"

"I appreciate your help, but did you forget that you were the one that kidnapped me without my consent? Do you think I'll just docile go with all your plans?" The leftover magic around me intensified.

I was so tired.

I wanted it all to end.

"No, I-"

I glared, silencing him.

"Fine," Adriel replied he gave in.

"Fine? You can't ask more nicely? You idiot demon lord!"

"Why this little cheeky little brat!"

"Brother!" Sophia called out harshly towards Adriel. Adriel flinched and slowly turned towards Sophia. Sophia was glaring heatedly at Adriel. The power in this family truly rested on Sophia's hand.

I could definitely use this to my advantage.

"Berry is our guest. I have told you countless times to treat our guests with respect. Especially a dragon of ancient times!"

"I'm sorry, Sophia, it's just this brat. I mean, Dragon is arrogant." Adriel huffed, trying to persuade his little sister.

"No brother, you are the arrogant one. Leave the room now! I don't want to see you."

"But Sophia," Adriel whined, looking distraught.

"Leave!" Sophia pointed out the door. Adriel sulked and turned around. He motioned the doctors to follow, and they left the room.

Sophia sighed. "I am once again, truly sorry. My brother is truly kind. It just after he was named the Demon Lord, he had changed so much."

I walked over to Sophia's bed. "It's fine. If you don't mind."

Sophia looked at me, wondering what I meant.

The heavy drowsiness of sleep was washing over me. I needed to sleep poorly. I got up onto the bed and flopped next to her.

"I need to sleep-"

The world became black, and I fell asleep.

#####

"Berry." Sophia looked over my shoulders, wondering what I was doing.

"Yes?"

"What is that?"

"This is a magic stone." I got up and showed it to her. I was busily trying out new things with the Magic Stones on Earth. It has already been a whole day since I was stuck in Sophia's room.

"Magic Stones?" She asked, curiously peering over. "Why are you using that? Is it worth your time?"

"Well, I got nothing else to do. I'm basically locked in this room with you. Are you always locked in this room?"

Sophia thought it over and shook her head no.

"I see. So it's only just me. I get the feeling that they might even have guards on the outside."

"I'm so sorry, Berry. I know my brother can be overprotective." Sophia sighed, looking at Berry with guilt.

"He is your brother. I never had a brother before." I said I have heard about sibling love, and I saw it with Sophia and Adriel.

"He's really kind." Sophia tried to persuade me. "Just when it comes to me, he can get pretty out of hand."

"I can see tell." I felt a bit suffocated staying in this room. It's not that I don't like Sophia, it's just that I felt bad about her being stuck here in this room. My guess is that she probably has been sick for a very long time. Her thin arms and legs definitely state that she has not gone out and used them. "You know I was wondering, why exactly do you need my blood?"

"Well, my magic has a horrible tendency to suck in the dark energy around me and purifies the surrounding areas. This affects my body, especially my blood. Blood is one of the main sources of my magic. Every time I use my magic, the dark energy lingers in my body, contaminating everything."

"I see." I thought it over. Trying to figure out what I needed to do to help. "Do you mind if I try something?"

"What would that be?" Sophia asked, curiously looking over.

"Give me a bit of time. You remember the Magic Stone that I showed you?"

"Yes?"

"Well, I'm going to try something out. So give me a moment, okay?" I said with a hint of excitement. I knew whatever I was trying was something never done before.

Sophia nodded.

I quickly got off the bed and sat back onto the chair. My mind was rapidly forming up new ideas that I had never ever tried before. I took out six different colored Common Magic Stones that were all Level B. Gathering up my energy, I started to fuse the six stones together to create a Level B Rule Stone.

My magic was quickly draining in rapid succession. I knew that a Level B Rule Stone would take a lot of my energy but who would 've thought that it would take a two-third of my magic when I had a good rest. Containing the magic from going out of control was another challenge in itself.

Magic was already pouring out from the six stones as they came closer and closer to each other. A burst of powerful magic of six different elements clashed against each other, trying to devour one another till finally, a final burst of energy erupted outwards. I flew backward and crashed onto my back.

Air escaped from my chest as I slammed backward. I feebly tried to get up, but the amount of energy that I had used up made my hands shake. The door to the room burst open as Adriel burst through the door.

"What's going on?!" Adriel drew dark energy through his hand, and he searched around for any possible danger. "If there is an enemy, come out now!"

"Brother!" Sophia gave him a stern voice. "Calm down, Berry was trying to create something."

"What?" Adriel flew towards me, and he aimed his gun at my head. The black energy that he had in his hands was already merged with the weapon.

"Brother, stop!" Sophia yelled with panic. She tried to get up but failed as her body was weak.

"I can not have this dragon harm my sister!" Adriel yelled, trying to stop me from doing what I must.
