A dangerous person

2024-10-29 19:42:56"Halt! Stop! Stop, bastards!"
The surprising sudden curses forced the crowd to cease their actions temporarily. The excited mob, as well as Apollyon, turned their attention, baffled, towards the two newcomers that had just rushed here with flushed faces.
"What the hell are you doing? Are you trying to destroy the village's reputation?" The Chief began shouting, enraged, upon witnessing the spectacle occurring in front of his eyes. He and the Great Shaman came to check the reason for the disturbance happening in the island's sacred place, only to see that his people were about to lynch a boy in public near their deity's home! The Chief thought he would go mad. If other tribes learned about this embarrassing incident, the Dragon Village would definitely become the topic of ridicule during the gatherings between the four tribes.
"Are you mad? Do you know where we are? Do you want to provoke the Dragon God's wrath? And what's the matter with this situati

"You must be cursed; I can't think of another explanation," Nerida sighed as she saw the pathetic state the bedridden Sirius was in. The continuous dangerous situations he kept falling in had given a permanent pale color on the boy's drawn face that made him look even more unhealthy compared to back when he was skinny.He was definitely the unluckiest person she had ever known; Nerida had never heard about anyone else who had to fight for his life whenever he walked away from the village. He was certainly a difficult person to befriend as he seemed to have a natural gift of worrying the people who cared about him."It is one thing to encounter a demonic beast, but you even met an exiled person that we hadn't had news for years. We didn't even know whether he was alive or not. What's next? Do you plan to challenge Chief for his position?""Have mercy on me. It is already hard for me to endure the pain of my injuries. I can't handle your mockery too. W
The Brightest Star A shocking explanation
"So that's why the demonic bear came so close to the village. How strange? Why didn't it take the stone and return to the mountains but stayed to protect it here? Even if the magic stone attracted other beasts, I dare to say they would be less dangerous than some of the warriors of the tribe; no need to mention the Chief and the Great Shaman," the boy wondered aloud. Was it because of the beast's low intelligence, or there was still something in the cave that discouraged the bear from leaving the area?"You have to thank Ajamu and his gang for that," the girl who was listening to him with amusement gave him suddenly an unexpected answer that crashed all the possible scenarios that had began to formulate in his mind."Ajamu? That's not a name I expected to hear," the boy remarked, surprised."Do you recall if anything unusual happened that day? Before the fight with the demonic bear, I mean," Nerida didn't proceed to explain immediately but addr
The Brightest Star Going out
"Him?" the boy was genuinely surprised upon hearing the girl's answer. Sirius still remembered the Great Shaman's firm refusal to teach him anything relating to magic when he asked him once more the day he woke up from the coma.Did the man begin having second thoughts because of what happened later on that day? The two of them had an argument when the Great Shaman told the boy about Apollyon's past, and since then, they hadn't reconciled yet. Naturally, the reason Sirius was sulking hadn't been because he was angry for his enemy's sake. Although he felt some pity for him, he still hadn't forgotten how cruelly Apollyon had treated him on their first encounter. He had almost killed him. The boy was just afraid. Afraid that the coming awakening day could make him the next Apollyon. Afraid of losing the family and friends he had managed to acquire.No, if it was anything else, that geezer really might have changed his mind, but it's a different story when we are

"Isn't it obvious? If our bloodline was pure, wouldn't we have the characteristics of a dragon?""It's not like I have seen a dragon before, but considering the tattoos on your bodies, the image of the dragon I have in my mind shouldn't differ much from reality," the boy nodded in thought.What was the reason behind the peculiar human appearance of the Dragon tribe's people? Sirius had once thought of that question. The reasons he had concluded were far from complicated, however. Since there were four tribes with four different bloodlines residing in this island chain, the constant relations between the tribes might have triggered the change in their traits. As the years passed, their bloodline continued to deteriorate until their appearance looked nothing like their ancestors'.Another scenario was that their whole species had evolved gradually. Weren't mammals originally organisms that lived in the seas before moving to the land to find food? Supposing t
The Brightest Star Buried feelings
I don't have extraordinary things to remember about my life. Always the same monotony. Sometimes I stay in the house and help my mother with the household chores, and sometimes when I am bored, I play with my brothers, the only way that had remained for me to interact with the outside world. An everyday routine, that's how I would describe my life. And the turning point that led to this result was that fateful day, a curse disguised in the form of a blessing.My hair changed. They acquired my mother's awful color-- the color of a person loved by destiny. My eyes changed. They could see further, not in the distance, but the future. They became the eyes of the tribe, a power that made my position even higher than my father's. And finally, I changed. Destiny gave me wings, and from a mere caterpillar, I became a butterfly, a sacred existence that had to be worshipped and be protected by all in the village.I became afraid. I suddenly found myself having
The Brightest Star Buried feelings(part ii)
Sirius's surprise was genuine and not for an unreasonable reason. Despite meeting with the girl regularly, the boy didn't remember doing anything remarkable that could induce Sarah's romantic feelings. It wouldn't be false to say that the two of them barely chatted at all during his visits to her house. Unless it was what the people call ''love at first sight"?The boy shook his head instinctively upon thinking this. He hardly had any commendable assets compared to the boys at his age. He was weak and timid, completely different from the warrior's paragon idolized in the village. As for his external appearance... Well, after gaining some weight and muscle, his looks had visibly improved. However, if he were to stand beside someone like Ajamu or Anders that looked like the reincarnations of heroes from fairy tales, he would be glad if he would be labeled as just average.If only I were taller,he thought with a pained smile.

"That's why I want to avoid any possibility of being involved with that guy," Sarah looked with a pleading expression at the boy, knowing her request was quite excessive. Although she knew that even without the boy's help, her father would probably refuse the tiger tribe's proposal anyhow, she didn't want to take a risk. She wanted to limit the possibility of any mishap's appearance, or the anxiety wouldn't allow her to sleep peacefully in the nights.There were also some selfish desires mixed behind her request, but Sarah judged the boy didn't need to know about them. Although Sirius's words had appeased the worries in her heart about his and Nerida's close relationship, it wouldn't be a bad idea to exploit the situation to discourage any annoying insects that might have strange intentions about the boy. Not to mention that her chances of getting closer to him would greatly improve if she stabilized her position as his fiancee."We are bound to be engaged
The Brightest Star Tiger tribe(2)
Dragon Island's forest had always been a place filled with numerous dangers. Although the area surrounding the village could be considered safe thanks to the Dragon Tribe's warriors, even someone with their strength wouldn't venture deep into the forest without making extensive preparations first. Someone had to be strong to survive in that kind of place. Plenty of formidable beasts existed on the island, some of them being so powerful that not even the Great Shaman or the Chief would dare to provoke unless they had no choice. That was why the forest had a rule that all the island's lifeforms were following regardless of their species or strength in order to cross the forest as more peacefully as they could: Move like a ghost, make as little noise as you can."This forest is annoying as always," a diminutive man with long silver hair muttered with annoyance as he pulled his sword from a wolf lying down near his feet. Since the battle's sound kept on echoing from b

The Brightest Star Meeting(2)
Considering that almost the whole village had assembled at one particular place, one had to imagine how especially eye-catching Sirius's and Nerida's performance truly was. And despite the various rumors that were secretly circulating among the tribe's members, not a single person wasn't caught off guard by their sudden display of affection, whether that person was someone overfamiliar with their circumstances like Anders or someone who had no idea what the hell was happening like the Tiger Tribe's Chief, Skar, whose jaw had fallen to the ground. "Oi, old hag, am I dreaming? Isn't that over there my son's bride-to-be with another kid arm in arm?" The diminutive man with the long silver hair whispered to the aged woman beside him in a low voice. The ugly expression on his face, however, betrayed the vexation he genuinely felt. "Are they trying to provoke us? They should be aware of our visit's purpose. I have a bad feeling about this," the woman muttered,
The Brightest Star Meeting(1)
"You are becoming bolder and bolder these days. Have you forgotten you are still a weakling?" Ajamu, from the very beginning, was a bad-tempered and arrogant person who wouldn't shrink off anyone's challenge, much less Sirius's, who he still looked down on. Although he had to admit that Sirius had proved to be surprisingly resourceful in a crisis and that his character had also shown a little promise, that was all, in the end. Except for his luck, his overall ability remained laughable. How could he accept such a person talking back to him like an equal? Had he not saved his life, Ajamu wouldn't just reply in the form of words. Sirius, however, ignored his rival's poisonous remarks. In the first place, the boy hadn't meant to antagonize Ajamu. He couldn't have even if he wanted to. He knew, after all, his own place. How weaker he truly was compared to his peers. This was a world with superhuman freaks that could move mountains with their hands. Sirius, in
The Brightest Star Arrival
"Do you like this book?" The woman asked teasingly as she watched with affection at the child holding a huge historical textbook in his little hands. The spectacle of the child reading attentively with a serious expression like he was some kind of scholar was such an amusing and charming image, she thought with a smile. In the end, she couldn't contain herself after being exposed to such cuteness and hugged the bewildered boy from behind before he even had the chance to give her an answer."I thought you would prefer mathematics or physics, but you were actually hooked on history," she commented with surprise as she casually took a peek at the book's contents."I like them more, but I don't have any interest in them," Sirius replied with relief when he managed to retain the book as it had almost slipped from his hands because of the woman's rapid actions."Why not? If anything else, science is the most reliable method humanity has used to
The Brightest Star Proposal
"Please, raise your head! It was just a dispute among children, nothing for an adult to worry about," the boy hurriedly said in shock. The image of a man bowing his head to a child was an embarrassing spectacle, a humiliation that could stain the warrior's reputation considering the importance the villagers were attaching to their honor's preservation."You are the savior of my children. Apologizing for their rude behavior is the least I can do as their father," the man stubbornly continued, as if his words were an indisputable fact.He was a person worthy of being respected, Sirius inwardly thought. Despite being a man of a high position in the village, he didn't hesitate to apologize to him in person, even though he had done nothing wrong, only because he felt he had to do so for the sake of his children. In truth, Drayce's and Melly's attitude towards him wouldn't even be considered blamable in the village's society. He only had himself to blame for not
The Brightest Star Rivas the hunter
Sirius leisurely walked around the village in thought, the Great Shaman's words still echoing inside his mind."Beasts born by magic? Isn't magic just another form of energy? How can it create new lifeforms?""I don't know the answer. There are many mysteries in the world we can't explain. Imagine this, however. Our ancestor and father, the Dragon God, is supposed to be a being that didn't come to this world naturally but was born by magic. Of course, I don't mean to tell you that all beings born by magic have equivalent power to our father's, most of them are not even intelligent creatures, but some of them can be quite terrifying. Even I might not stand a chance against them. That's why places with a lot of magic energy can be perilous if you are not familiar with them. The forest surrounding our village is also like that."'I don't understand why I am so surprised. This world already has plenty of things that could be considered
The Brightest Star Demon Species
For Sirius, the next several days had been way too exhausting. Because of his injuries, the boy had been forced to neglect his training for more than two weeks. No sooner had his body started to get used to the daily exercise than he encountered Apollyon. Sirius really wanted to express his frustration somehow. He felt as if his whole progress had regressed to zero. And the worst thing of all was the insufferable boredom of training alone. Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do about this. As Anders and Nerida had to prepare for the sparring competition with the Tiger Tribe, they were training these days singly. All the people who would participate in the competition were training feverishly, with Sirius being the only person at his age that didn't really have anything to do. Luckily, Sarah would sometimes join him when she finished her chores early, but as she was also busy helping the village's women organize the welcoming feast, the two barely spent any time together.
