Thud! Thud! Thud! Arad walked out of the forest, Eris trailing after him. Both of them smiled as he looked at the sky, "The beautiful moon," He giggled, "I can smell them from here,"

With a silent grin, Eris stared forward and saw the bandits' camp in the distance. "Fresh blood. It's been a while since I hunted like this,"

"Don't make a mess, or do if you want." He pointed toward the camp with his thumb, "I would have to clean afterward."

"Don't worry, I will do my best." Eris cracked her knuckles, licking her lips as her eyes glowed red. "I will burn the mess afterward,"

"Brother, won't you go inside?" A man asked, holding a spear as he stood guard outside a long wooden wall.

"Nah! Some freaks are playing with goblins and giants. I want no part in that." The other guard beside him sighed, "The hell is going on with them?"

The other man gasped, cringing, "Yeah, better stay here." He looked toward the ground, a sad expression on his face. "Even though we got a good harvest today."

"A whole village. We got decent gold and goods, even some girls to play with," The other man laughed, "It won't be long before we grow strong enough that the kingdom won't hold us back."

"I'm not too sure about that. Why let us grow like this? They are bound to send someone to take us down."

"Huh! Let them try. The giants would crush them to the ground." He waved his spear down, mimicking a giant swinging a club.

"You're right," The other one smiled, "And since they are monsters, the powerful paladin army won't be more effective than a regular army that is a bit strong,"

Thud! Thud! As they talked, they saw two figures approaching the camp through the wood. The moon shining behind them.

"Who are you?" One of the bandit guards walked forth, pointing his spear forward with a growl, "Don't think you would leave this place alive,"

"Stop right there!" The other one added.

Arad and Eris stopped, staring at the guards from a distance.

"Good, that's like it," One of the guards slowly backed up and rang the warning bell, calling reinforcement.

As Arad and Eris waited, about twenty armed bandits rushed to the gate, pointing the bows at them.

"What do you want?" The bandits growled, and Arad giggled, "Dinner, we came for food," His eyes glowing red, radiating bloodlust.

"Food? Sure, you can be food for the giants," One of the bandits laughed, "Shoot the big guy! We'll have fun with the girl later, so don't harm her,"

Arad walked forward as the bandits fired all of their arrows.

PEW! PEW! PEW! PEW! PEW! PEW! PEW! PEW! PEW! PEW! PEW! PEW! PEW! PEW! PEW! PEW! PEW! PEW! PEW! PEW! PEW! PEW! PEW!

Tens of arrows pierced Arad's body as he walked forward, never stopping. Seeing their attacks having the same effects as needles on a cushion, five of the bandits pulled their wands and started flinging spells at Arad, chipping on his body.

The bandits finally halted their attack as they saw Arad's body stop moving, riddled with arrows and charred from the spells.

"He died standing. He wasn't big for nothing," One of them said.

"Hehehehe," A giggle escaped Arad's bloody throat, "Where are the giants and goblins? Those might prove better than you," His eyes started to glow as he stared at them like a living corpse. The arrows stuck in his body slowly sank deeper, disappearing into the depth of his torso.

Now that Arad has become a young dragon, his organs are fully encased inside his void. There are none in his torso, only the infinite nothingness. To strike his heart, you must force him to bring it back to his body.

The bandits started shaking as they saw Arad crack his neck, blood squirting from his jugular vein. CLACK! His wounds healed with a thud as he smiled, "Eris, what do you think?"

"Not much, there aren't many people that could pose a threat to you," She smiled.

Arad then stared back at the bandits, "You wanted to play with her. Why don't you give it a try? But be careful. She bites,"

Eris smiled, her fangs reflecting the moonlight.

"You bastard..." One of the bandits growled, trying to pull his sword when something flashed beside him. "Guh!" He could hear a pained cry behind him.

The bandit slowly turned back, seeing one of his friends withering as Eris bit his neck.

"Eris! Don't kill him," Arad shouted from the back, "Bring him back to me. There is something I want to try,"

Eris took her fangs off the man and lunged in the air, hurling him with her like he was nothing. BAM! She landed beside Arad and smiled, throwing the shaking man at his feet. "Here he is,"

With a smile, Arad lifted the man by the hair and bit his neck for a second before dropping him to the ground. "Now, let's see how this works,"

The man's body twitched and spazzed, black veins emerging on his body for a second before a tortured cry for help escaped his throat. "Spare me!"

As the man's screams sent terror among the other bandits, he fell silent and motionless. BAM! His arms flailed and hit the ground. His legs twisted as he stood like a newborn animal.

The man's eyes glow red, and his fangs have grown longer. The starved glare on his face said it all.

"Nice, it worked," Arad smiled, and Eris stared at him, "What else did you expect? Ginger taught you, right?"

The newly created spaw turned toward Arad, bowing down, "My cruel master. I have been born anew. What order you might have for me?"

Arad stared at the other bandits with a smile, "Those are your friends? Might you be willing to guide them to the right way?"

The spawn stared at the other bandits, "Brothers and sisters, tonight is a good night," He smiled, "A master of blood has blessed us with his presence. Shall you not join me?"

Confused and terrified, the bandits lifted their bows and called the giants.

"One last thing," Arad stared at the newly born spawn. Pointing at Eris, "Right now, you're worth less than the dirt beneath her boots to me," He smiled, "Prove yourself first."

The spawn bowed, "Yes! My Master!" He smiled, lunging at the other bandits.
