Chapter Three - Your father was a Dragon

"My father? ... What about my father? "

"What exactly do you remember about your father?"

"Not much ... I remember he barely stopped at home and was always traveling, and when he showed up he barely spoke to me, but my mother was always smiling around him, the last time I saw him was when my mother passed away , that was the first time he hugged me, after that day he disappeared ... "

"Well, there is a reason why your father is so absent, believe it or not, the reason for your father's absence was for protection, not only yours and your mother's but all of humanity"

"What? But what the f*ck are you talking about? "

"DO NOT INTERRUPT" cried the female voice "Damn it, I think I stabilized enough to talk face-to-face, wait just a moment" the voice stopped and then a lot of luminous particles started to gather on top of the car dashboard, soon a small figure began to form.

A floatting girl emerged, she wave the height of a child doll, she was cute, had long white hair and two small horns on the side of her head, she wore a black Gothic Lolita dress, and two white wings protruded from the height of the her hips, her hands and feet were covered with tiny white feathers, ending in claws on her feet and hands, a small white lizard tail stretched out from behind her dress. The girl floated in the air, raised the two little hands and let out a cry.

"I'M OUT B*TCHES!!!!!"

Locke looked at the little creature with his mouth open, trying to understand if he had gone crazy or maybe he had been drugged at some point and that night was just a bad trip.

"So, this is how you look Locke..., well, it's not bad under this glamor..., But leave it for later, there are more important things I have to tell you about your father and this world" a little fairy said "when i finish you can ask me anything you want"

"Well, there is a lot that you don't know about your world, first, heaven's and hell are real and have been at war since the beginning of time, everything you know to be your reality is just a drop in one infinite sea of ​​realities and these realities have been used by both sides in this endless battle, millions and millions of species have become extinct in the middle as consequences of this war" the little fairy said while crossing her arms "There is a prophecy that says this reality will be very important in this war, so more and more monster incursions are happening in your world"

"What? This is impossible!" Locke cut the little fairy "Look, I think people would notice if there were monsters killing people out there, for sure it would be in all the news!"

"Are you stupid by any chance? Where do you think mythology came from? Have you never heard of an urban legend? How many people do you think have disappeared without a trace just in the last year? Don't you have a fucking fairy floating in front of you right now?" responds the fairy angrily "Wake up idiot, the only reason this information is not public knowledge is that powerful people prefer it that way!"

Locke was shaken, his mind was racing with the sudden revelation about his reality, he understood that what the abusive little fairy said seemed quite logical, after all, hiding the truth from the people was the government's specialty.

"Luckily your world still doesn't have enough mana for very powerful beings to manifest themselves without using a great sacrifice, so the incursions so far have been just small fry's" the fairy crossed her arms "In fact, the most powerful being who stepped on this earth was your father."

"My father?"

"Your Father, Eradan, was a very powerful being, your father was part of a neutral faction and when he learned of the prophecy he came to this world using his power, he intended to destroy this world so that it could not be used by any of the sides. But when he arrived in this world he realized that there was a lot of life here, he didn't think it was fair to condemn this reality like that, so he chose to defend this world, to prevent any powerful being from invading from outside he fought on the borders, preventing several invasions. When Eradan arrived in this world the humans still lived in caves and, for a long time he watched the human species from the void, in silence he saw kingdoms and dynasties rise and fall, he saw the best and the worst of mankind, but one day he saw a little human that caught his attention "

"My mom?"

"Yes, your mother, Nathalia, he wasn't normal, she had the purest soul that your father had ever seen, and a gift to understand what others didn't see, in fact she was the first being to realize the existence of yours dad by herself, she looked back at the void where your dad was hiding and she smiled "

The memory of his mother made Locke's eyes fill with tears, she was beautiful, although she lived ill, trapped in a bed, she always treated Locke with kindness, always having a smile on her lips regardless of the pain, even with so much time Locke could remember the feeling of her fingers sliding through his hair as she sang, he cried for many days when she died.

"Your father created a human avatar to approach her and they fell in love, even with the nature of his father your mother loved him, and as a result of that love you were generated. But before you were born your world was attacked, some of your father's species had allied themselves with the Abyss and they tried to invade and take over this world.

Your father fought at the border of realities, he killed all traitors of his own kind and also many demons, he managed to make the attackers return to the abyss, but the price was great and your father was very hurt, and he cannot realize that a powerful demon had escaped and crossed into this world. The demon felt your presence in your mother's womb and saw a chance to take revenge on your father, he attacked her in searchof your and her life. Your mother, however, was far from harmless womam, in her years with your father she had become a master of magic, even in her weakened state of pregnancy she defeated the demon.

The creature, however, did not fall willingly, he destroyed his own soul to curse you, Locke, still in your mother's womb! A curse strong enough to kill you, your mother chose to save you and took most of the curse for herself, she saved your life, but in return she became extremely sick! Your father tried to save her, but curses made in exchange for his own soul are nearly impossible to break, as they cost a true end for a being, even for someone strong like his father break a curse like that was difficult, and your mother did not accepted the option of passing this curse on to another living being, so all he could do was to mitigate some of the effects, which gave your mother ten years to live.

When your mother passed away your father lost himself in anger, he left his inheritance on you and invaded the abyss, the number of demons he killed was greater than that of stars in the sky, but even your father fell against the hordes... "

Locke held his head while processing everything he had heard, he never imagined receiving a revelation like this, Locke always thought he was just anybody and now he discovered that his mother had died to save him from a demon and that his father he was a kind of protector of the world.

"My father ... what was he?"

The fairy looked at Locke's troubled face, she landed on his leg, looking at Locke fondly she replied.

"Your father was a dragon"
