Human among the Beasts

CLANG! A red aura blade blocked the dragon claw. They tried to push each other, then they burst.

Edgar is standing on a branch of a tree while his arm is covered in aura.

Dael stepped on earth in the air, then jumped to his back. A magic circle appears in the air, then a water dragon comes out and moves to his feet. He stands on the dragon's head as he stares at Edgar.

Edgar is also looking at the man.

"I thought men that are attached to families are all monsters, but you seem different. There is still humanity within you. You should have seen the horrors caused by the families. How can you still work for them?" asked Edgar.

Dael smiled when he heard Edgar. He remembers almost dying in a street. He can't move even an inch of his body because of hunger.

"Do you want to live?" asked a younger Mason.

The losing luster in Dael's eyes started to shine when he looked at Mason.

"Prove it to me. Reach out to my hand," said Mason.
