《Justice》


 Chapter 1-Laika Shoto

    There I saw it. Itwas covered in red scales with gold lining.It looked majestic and domineering.It was adragon.The dragon opened it''s maw and spoke in an ancient language. The next thing I know, I was staring at myself from the dragon''s eyes. Then, everything went black.


    I suddenly woke up, covered in sweat.Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site.


    What was that? Was it just a nightmare?


    I sat up and looked around my room.


    "Huh? What the heck?"


    There was a shining red halberd leaning against my wall. As I stared at the halbred, I saw images appear within my mind. I saw a man in gold armor, fending off thousands of Royal Knights. Behind the man, I saw a dragon. I then gasped in shock as I realized that it was the same dragon from my dream.


    That''s when I knew that my dream, the dragon, and the halbred, were alltied together.

 Chapter 2- The Halberd

    I stood up and walked towards the halberd. When I reached for the halberd, I felt a strong heat illuminating from the handle I thought would burn my hand, but to my surprise.


    My hand was fine.


    The fire didn''t affect me, but the surge of energy that went through my arm did. I droped the halberd and tried my best to hold in my scream. That''s when my father called me. I had to hide the halberd before he came up the stairs. To my surprise when I turned around, the halberd had shrunk down to pocket size and I quickly hid it.This story originates from a different website.

    "Laika, are you ok? Why are you not dressed for school?"


    "Sorry, I woke up late."


    "Hurry, or you''ll be late for morning classes."


    As father left my room, I smelt somthing burning, and as I turned around, the back of my shorts had burned away and almost burntthrough the floor boards. I quickly had to pick up the halberd before it went any futher. Welp, this was the first part of my story.


    I had to get ready for my first day at the royal magic school. My father and I were poor, but my father somehow got the King to enroll me, but I felt that I might not even be here for long.

 Chapter 3 - The palace

    As I walked down the road towards the Royal academy, I had already felt that I should turn around, but with enough mustered up courage, I managed to walk through the doors. I couldn''t believe my eyes with what I saw. The halls were decorated with diamond, the floors made of emerald, and almost everyone was wearing the best of clothing.


    All except... the slaves. As I watched as a prince from another land told a slave to carry his things for him, but the slave didn''t hear him. So he went over to he slave, and kicked her down. Instead of anyone helping her, everyone started laughing.This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.


    "Ha ha ha! How did you get a job in the royal palace slut!"


    "Please your majesty, please stop."


    "you dare speake to me slut!"


    The prince rose his foot up and in a split second I knew what was about to happen. The prince was going to kill her. some how I made it down the corridor in less than 10 seconds, and I wasn''t even that fast of a runner. When I made it down the hall I grabbed the slave and returned to where I was previously standing. I examined the girl and i immediatly noticed that she had scabs, bruises, and cuts that were all uncovered. I felt so digusted with how the royals treated people that worked for them. I felt enraged. A red firey rage.


    I felt something getting bigger within my pocket, and when it stopped growing, everyone in the hall gasped.

 Chapter 4 - The others

    I ran, I had to run as fast as I could. I heard the royal gaurds behind me, telling me to stop, but I didn''t. I cut corner''s, ran into crowd''s and even hid in ally way''s, but somehow they alway''s found me. I thought that the people were telling them where I was, but I wouldn''t jump to conclusions.


    I decided to hide at a near by corner to see how they keeping track of me. I thought they would ask people from the town, but no. They pulled out a strange crystal, held it up and it startedglowing.Whenever a crystal glows it means that there is someone with a strong magic near by, but it was glowing a eerei red glow.If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road.

    "But wait, I''m the only one here"


    "Come out criminal, if you run we''ll only find you again!"


    "How about you guy''s get lost!"


    I looked,up their were 4 people standing on the roof of a house.They all had weapons, each a different color. Blue, yellow, white and black. The weapons all had dragon engravings on them just like on the halberd.


    "So, youtrash knight''s finally show yoursel-!?!"


    Before the knight could finish talking the 4 strangers had already made their way to the ground, they were eager to fight. As for me... well lets just sayI skedaddled.

 Chapter 5 - Chow Tetsu

    After I had ran a safe distance away from the kingdom, I stopped to think to myself.


    Who were those people? They looked pretty strong.


    And that¡¯s when I heard a rustle in thebushes next to me.


    "You think I''m strong? Thanks, kid."


    "W-what the fu-?"


    It was one of the four people I had seen earlier.


    "Save your breath kid, I''m not here to hurt ya."


    The fuck?!? That¡¯s the least of my worries.

    "I didn''t ask."


    "..."


    "How''d you find me?"


    "I followed you, how else?"

    "Laika Shoto."


    "Let''s go for a walk, Laika. The others should be arriving soon."

    "Yeah. The others."

 Chapter 6 - Leo Iwa

    As I walked in the field with Chow, I saw someone rushing towards us. I panicked and tried to run, but chow grabbed my shirt and pulled me back.


    "Don''t worry, stay where you are"


    "Well I don''t know if your trying to getyourass killed, but I''m getting the hell out of here"


    Before I could even take a few steps away from Chow, he reared up his arm, ready to punch.The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.


    "This won''t take long"


    In a flash, Chow threw a strong punch and a thick cloud of smoke covered the area.


    "FUCK!!! YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!!!"


    "Shouldn¡¯t have come at me so damn fast then"


    The guy Chow had hit was lying on the ground crying. He was wearing a short sleeve hood and shorts. Like Chow, he had a weapon, a war hammer.


    After the guy had a good cry and Chow a good laugh, he finally introduced himself.


    "My name is Leo Iwa, nice to meet you"


    "Did I ask, like what is up with you guy''s telling me thing''s I didn''t ask"


    "...Chow can I kill him"


    "No! The hell"


    "You¡¯re lucky kid, if Chow wasn''t here, you would have been dead"


    I was starting to feel like the other two that would arrive wouldn''t be so nice.

 Chapter 7 - The past

    <hr>


    Ever sinceallthese events happened, I''ve been wanting to get answers, and why the king was hunting me down.


    "Chow, why is the King hunting me down? I''ve done nothing wrong"


    "Because of your blood line, and because of what our ancestors did to the royal family"


    "What do you mean?"


    "you mean you don''t know?"


    I shook my head. I knew nothing of what happened in the past.


    "Sigh. Sit down Laika, I''ll tell you the story of the past"


    I sat down to listen to Chow''s story, I felt this story might take a while to tell.


    "15 years ago, in the royal palace, all of the knights were quite capable of taking care of criminals, but a new threat arrived.Dragonscame to the land. The King thought of this as a chance to take control of them and use them to conquer other lands. When the Dragons refused to help the King, he was furious.Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.


    "The King plotted to kill all the dragons, and succeeded in killing one, but just barely. The King heard of this and thought of an easier way to kill the dragons. He summoned his wizards and sorcerers and they performed experiments, and after many years, they finally found a weakness.Dragonitestone, created from boiling dragon blood and diamonds. The King was pleased to find that his army finally might have a chance to beat dragons. He sentaarmy of 50 men all withDragoniteswords and arrows"


    "The army was surprised with their discovery, the dragons drew weak when they got too close to the stone and upon being hit, could not move. After they defeated 5 dragons, they felt like going on a killing spree but decided to stop and tell the king their discovery. When the King heard of this victory, he was speechless, pleased that after months of experimenting and test but after a while, he began to chuckle, and that chuckle turned into a laugh... a demonic laugh"


    "Those pathetic dragons think they are superior tomankind! but with our new weapons and armor, they''ll never stand a chance!"


    "So that¡¯s what they did. The king had the finest blacksmiths in the kingdom craft moreDragoniteswords, halberds, arrow tips and armor. Now at that time the king''s army had many men and armor, so the king finally made up his mind... he declared war on dragon kind"


    "Little did the king know, the dragons also had an ace up their sleeve. There were some people who respected dragon kind and wanted to help them in war. That''s when one smart dragon came up with an idea. This dragon asked for firstborn over the age of 15 and had them train for weeks before the war, and during that time he asked for one child to help him with experiments. A week before the war, the dragon finally came out from his cave with the boy"


    "What the people saw changed the way people thought the dragons wherecapableof"

 Chapter 8 - Tsumaki Kami

    As I heard the rest of Chow''s story I was astonished by all of these things that happened years ago.


    "Chow, is this all really true?"


    "It is," Said a voice behind me.


    "WHAT THE HELL?!?"


    "Damn kid, chill"


    "I''LL CHILL WHEN PEOPLE STOP SNEAKING UP BEHIND ME!!!"


    When I had finally cooled down, I looked behind me to see who it was. I was taken by surprise.


    It was a girl wearing a white robe with long blonde hair in a ponytail. She looked like she had depression


    "Hello, my name is Tsumaki Kami. Nice to meet you Laika"


    "Hello Tsumaki, it''s nice to meet you too"If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.


    "Please, call me Maki" She blushed and looked away from me.


    "So, do you know how to use that thing?"


    "What, this," I said lifting up the Halberd from behind me.


    "I can barely lift this thing up, much less use it"


    "Well I can teach you if you want"


    My eyes lit up and I imagined myself being able to use the halberd like a true knight. I nodded my head and Maki gave me a warning.


    "Just so you know, this training will take weeks if not months to master"


    "When I heard this my heart skipped a beat and I thought to myself"


    Am I really ready for this? Am I ready to take on the name of a Dragon Knight?


    After a whole 5 minutes of thinking, I looked up at the sky and smiled.


    "Let''s do this"


    Chow and Maki smiled.


    "Come on we need to get to the training ground to start your practice"


    We walked for 2 hours before we reached a tall old tree.


    "What are we doing here Chow, this is just a tree"


    "Oh, you''ll see Laika"


    Chow removed a wooden cover from a knot in the tree that revealed a slot.


    He took out his sword and stabbed it into the slot and almost immediately, a part of the tree shifted forward and slid open.


    "Follow me, and try not to hit your head!"


    He jumped in and started falling


    "Oh hell no, I''m not doing that"


    But before I could back away from the tree I felt a soft hand that pushed me forward.


    WellFuck, here we go
