My Dragon System

Chapter 355 - Leaving again

After his visit with Lenny, there was one last place that Ray had left to visit and that was Slyvia's room. Before while walking around the academy, Ray would find it a struggle to get around.

Several of the guards would constantly ask him about who he was and he would constantly have to find someone of high authority to allow him to get past.

But the announcement that had been made had spread around and they all knew who Ray was now. Even the simple city folk and townsfolk we're starting to learn.

The guards would constantly bow down to him as he walked past.

"The king is here to see you, elder." The guard said as he entered Slyvia's personal room.

Hearing this news she was was fl.u.s.tered, she looked down and noticed that she had already gotten dressed in her pyjamas hoping to go to sleep in a few minutes. She also had just washed her face allowing all her make up to disappear.

"Stop him from coming in here at once!" Sylvia shouted, but it was too late, as Ray had already let himself in through the door.

"Is this a bad time, you seem to be annoyed at something?" Ray said as he looked Slyvia up and down. She was currently wearing a pink top and bottoms with little white bunnies all over.

"May I suggest you have the image of something more menacing on your clothes next time, it should help you scare off your enemies while you are asleep. A bunny would just make you look like food to your predators."

Once again Ray was spouting random words that were strange, but this was Ray, and Slyvia was used to it by now.

"What are you doing here so late?" She asked.

Ray explained how he planned to set off with Jack on yet another trip early in the morning tomorrow. Hearing this, she felt crushed inside but tried her best to hide it.

Ray had only been here for a short while and he was already off again. She had hoped her hard work making the city a better place would feel welcoming to him. Enough for Ray to want to stay in the city.

"You look a little worried," said Ray. "If there is an attack or you need me in an emergency do not hesitate to message me. You know I am able to teleport back at any moment."

"Thanks for those words Ray, I feel a lot better now."

After informing Slyvia, he had done everything he needed to do and was ready to set off tomorrow morning, but before he left the room, Ray had one last thing to say.

"You have done a good job here Slyvia, I hope you can continue doing so for when I come back."

With those words, a warm feeling entered inside Slyvia's heart. She had been told she had done a good job from many of the people and elders in the city but it never meant anything to her.

Hearing these words from Ray himself was the best reward she could get for all her hard work.

The next day had arrived and Ray had already set out everything he needed into his endless void. Standing outside of the entrance of the Academy, was Jack and all the high members in the Redwing army.

Although Jack didn't have much luggage on him either, before he would only carry his weapon but now he didn't even have that. All the food and water they could need was kept with Ray.

So Jack looked more like a normal civilian with bulging muscles.

"Jack!" Harry said. "I promise the next time you see me, I will be a new person." Jack gave a big old bear hug to Harry before leaving. Squeezing him tightly to the point where he thought one of his ribs had broken.

"Sylvia, I heard Ray came to your room late last night." Martha whispered, "Looks like someone grew up."

Sylvia started to think back to last night about how Ray' words had made her feel and a smile appeared on her face. Martha seeing this took it as a sign that what she hinted at must have been the truth.

"looks like I hit the nail on the head."

Then Slyvia had realised her mistake. "No, you got it all wrong," she said fl.u.s.tered.

Martha knew Ray was incredibly dense, it was like he was mature for his age but at the same time wasn't. Still, she couldn't help but tease Martha at every oputuinty she had.

The sound of footsteps and squeaky wheels turning could be heard and as they turned, they could see that the carriage had arrived.

Jack got on first and Ray looked at the others before getting on himself. "Cure the area of the shadow, be careful of the beasting process, make sure the city continues to grow, and let me know if you need help." With those few words, the door shut and the carriage was off.

"Was that his way of saying goodbye?" Said Bliss. "Looks like he might really need to work on his people skills

"Short, sweet and straight to the point, how a leader should be." van replied hoping to one day be half the man that Ray currently was.

Van had his own goals while Ray was away, thanks to the piece of Divine crystal that had been given to him, he could now use his powers without being detected by the Shadow.

For all these years he wasn't able to practice using his magic powers properly. For fear of who else might get dragged in, but now he had a chance.

Just as the group were about to head back into the academy, they noticed that a hooded person with high quality materials had a bag on her back, and he was walking towards the academy.

The members found it odd and readied themselves to be ready for a fight any moment.

It was strange because usually only students and other knights approached the academy. The city folk had no reason to be in this area.

So they could only suspect someone who was covered to be the ememy.

As she removed the hood of her face, her long black shiny hair came into view and a beautiful face was seen.

"I'm here to see my baby boy." The female said.

"Baby boy? Martha repeated, finding it odd the choice of words she had used.

" Yes, he's my little ray of sunshine. Ray Talen." She answered.
