My Dragon System Chapter 187 - Rebuilt

Chapter 187 - Rebuilt

The great battle had finally ended but at a great cost. The entire council of elders had been eliminated apart from Humfree and Slyvia. The only Master knights still alive were Sir K and Wilfred who had gone underground at the time to protect the Divine being.

And the city. The city was in great ruin. Several buildings all over the city had been destroyed and would take a long time before they were rebuilt.

When Wilfred and Sir K returned to the surface, they were shocked at everything they had been told. Avrion City was no more. The only thing that still stood strong was the Academy and city walls.

Ray immediately took this chance to take leaders.h.i.+p and control of the whole city and not one person was against it. In the end, even Wilfred decided to join the Red wings.

The banner that hung on top of the Academy was torn down and replaced with the symbol of a red dragon head. It was the same symbol that each member of the Red wings received when they accepted the contract.

Ray then gave the remaining students and knights two choices. They could stay at Avrion city but only if they became a member of the Red wings or they could leave. Ray wanted to make sure nothing like the Pure bloods would happen ever again.

He was now in charge of this city and he was going to do it right. There was no way for him to tell who was still a member of Pure blood or not and this was the easiest way to chase them all out.

In the end, Half of the knights and students decided to stay and accepted the contract, while the other half left. It was a better outcome then Ray Originally thought. This was thanks to Wilfred and Sir K. They had earned a dedicated following over the years since they spent the most time with the knights and students.

Over the next month, the students and Knights that remained continued to rebuild the city. They made sure that tunnels that had been made were sealed up and added in even more iron doors with different pa.s.sword combinations so something like this could never happen again.

This whole time there had been something bothering Ray though. When the city was being attacked by the beasts, why didn't the Dark guild attack as well? Jack had told Ray that they had seen Morfran down in the tunnels.

They couldn't have known about the Wyvern otherwise they would have planned to deal with that beast in the first place.

When Ray questioned Sir K and Wilfred, they said that they had found multiple members of the Dark Guild dead in the tunnels. A whole army, judging by the condition their bodies were found in, it looked like they had been killed by a deadly beast but no trace of the beast was found and Ray didn't want to waste any more time.

When the city had finally finished being rebuilt, everyone decided to have three days of silence and rest for the dead that perished including the master knight Bernardo and the other Elders.

There was no protest against this and everyone thought it was the right thing to do. After the three days though it was time to decide who would be left in charge of the city.

Ray no longer needed to stay at Avrion but he needed people he trusted to remain there. A vote was cast and the new leaders of Avrion were selected.

Wilfred and Sir K had been promoted to Elders which was to be expected. Most of the knights had only joined because of these two anyway. Humfree also kept his position as an elder, there was no suspicion about Humfree being a member of pureblood. There were multiple times where he could have killed Ray in the hospital and the fact that he was almost killed by Gib confirmed he wasn't working with them.

Finally, the last person was Slyvia which surprised even her. Ray trusted Slyvia and her brain and so did the other knights. They had seen how hard and caring she had been over the last month while the city was being rebuilt.

Ray had also offered Von his old position back, Since the city no longer followed the old rules but Von decided to decline.

Of course, Ray remained at the very top but the others who didn't know Ray's ident.i.ty, only knew him as Nes. Ray was still only 17 and looked it too. The other knights would find it hard to take their leader as a 17-year-old so whenever Ray needed to make public apparencies or executive decisions, he would transform into Nes.

Now with nearly everything sorted at Avrion, Ray was ready to leave and head to his next destination but there was one last problem that had occurred in the last month and that was Gary.

Gary had become almost obsessed with his new sword. He would carry it around with him wherever he went. Even in the shower, afraid that someone was going to take it from him.

When Ray used his Dragon eyes on it, it didn't seem to have any presence so Ray left it but it was clearly doing something to Gary.

Gary had lost a lot of weight during this time and it was starting to worry everyone. He wasn't eating properly and he wasn't talking to anyone, even Ray.

Slyvia eventually called a meeting in the elder's meeting room between all his old roommates to have a talk.

"Gary, we called you here because each of us are worried about you." Slyvia said, "Isn't that right guys?"

Everyone around the room nodded in agreement.

"Look I'm fed up with us tiptoeing around the problem!" Martha complained. "You need to get rid of that sword, look what it's doing to you!"

"You just want to take it for yourself!" Gary snapped back.

"That's not it Gary." Monk replied, "You've been acting strange ever since you got that thing."

"It is strange," Dan added.

Gary said nothing back and only gripped the sword which was in its sheath around his waist.

"Look if you won't listen to us then you have to listen to him!" Slyvia said as she pointed at Ray.

Ray then got up from his seat and slowly started to walk over to where Gary was sitting, he held out his hand palm open. "They're right Gary, hand me the sword."

Gary looked into Ray's eyes and looked back at the sword. Then suddenly, Gary drew the sword from its sheath and placed it right against Ray's neck.

The movement was so fast and so swift, Ray didn't even have time to react.

"I'm sorry," Gary said as he cried with his sword held against Ray's neck.
