75 Angry and Betrayed

Draig woke and found himself in a familiar bed as he looked at the three goofy demons standing before him that had returned to their friendly personas.

"Why am I here" asked Draig as he stared at the three with a cold look, he was not happy with the current situation.

He didn't enjoy the training that he was undergoing with the Founder but he could see the results as he continued to be beaten mercilessly into the ground each day. However now thanks to the interference of Zarra who had once again interrupted his training with the Founder he would see his progress slow to a snails pace.

"We rescued you, you don't have to worry about that loon anymore" laughed Gregory as he walked up to pat Draig's shoulder only to find the limb knocked away.

"Why would you do that" snarled Draig glaring directly at Zarra as he was the ring leader of this merry band of idiots.

"What do you mean, you are my child. I couldn't watch as you were kidnapped for whatever reason" stated Zarra

"Do you really expect me to keep playing along with this little merry man act. Stop acting a fool and tell me why you keep stopping my progress, my path to power" barked Draig angrily as he stood from the bed.

Zarra stared at Draig shocked that he would be so upset over saving him from the Old monster, however he sighed and his gaze settled into one of seriousness.

"What is power to you" asked Zarra suddenly causing Draig to pause.

"Power is the ability to slay one's enemies" answered Draig as if it was obvious causing the mage to bark with a cruel derisive laughter.

"Is that really what you think" laughed Zarra

"It isn't? I suppose you would have me believe it is to protect the likes of these mortals, just like you used your power to lock me in that box. Tell me if I hit the nail on the head mage" sneered Draig causing Zarra to narrow his eyes.

"Power is indeed having the means to protect, but it is meant to protect what you hold dear boy. You would do well to remember that" stated the Mage

"Yes, we know what you hold so dear." spat Draig angrily.

"You know nothing" roared Zarra as a pressure narrowed in on Draig but the young Feratu shrugged it off causing the mage to be surprised.

"I am aware of more than you think and even more than you are in some aspects. You are blind to the hidden truths of this world" snorted Draig causing the Mage to take a step forward.

"Oh? Have I hit a nerve, sickening. Even when your so serious you behave like a child when told your wrong" laughed Draig deciding he would devulge some secrets to the mage that would shatter his world.

"Tell me, what do you know of your beloved Class System" chuckled Draig causing Zarra and Jared along with Gregory to freeze.

"Oh? Perhaps you have some doubts to what is written in your text books" continued Draig as he took charge of the conversation.

"Your Class system is nothing more than a means to an end, a Pet Project created by my race's Founder to defeat the gods. Your mighty prophet was none other than the Founder himself, that tool that you cherish so much as a way to slay my kind and their fellow monsters is a creation by Vampires. You mortals then dared to use those skills given to you to slaughter our ilk like cattle and say that we are the evil ones, but have you ever looked in a mirror or at the actions of your brethren" stated Draig smirking patronizingly as he spoke.

"Those so called monsters have more integrity and honesty than any one of you mortals" finished Draig as he openly glared at Zarra.

Zarra however had his eyes widened before they narrowed again.

"You expect to take the words of a child who is ignorant of the world as fact, don't put on airs in front of me boy. I have walked this earth for too long to just believe the words of disgusting Vampire" shouted Zarra before his words caught up to him and his face colored with regret as he tried to say something else but Draig wouldn't have it. Head down he began to speak.

"That's how it is then....." started Draig his eyes shadowed by his bangs.

"Wait Draig I..." started Zarra but Draig silenced him.

"A disgusting Vampire" continued Draig as he turned his back on the mage and began to leave the room.

"Wait son, I.." started Zarra reaching out to grab Draig.

Draig merely snorted and turned to mist avoiding the hand.

"No, No, No, No. Not again, Not again." cried Zarra as the strength he boasted fell apart revealing a broken man.

Jared at the side saw this and his gaze hardened as he walked out the door with Gregory following closely.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.
