Part 3
THE PRESENT
Alzu then told the boy how life on the whole continent changed as the loyalist Forces lost the war and the rebels have taken power, transforming it to the Empire of Zeal as it would be known to his old days, when he looked at the Boy he then told him about his last and final shameful act that would hunt him for the rest of his days. "That was the moment" he said at first looking at the ground as the boy listened "it was at that moment at the time when the civil war was over when I could no longer serve as a knight of honor" he told the boy in a very broken voice that could be describe as a pure sadness. "It wasn't though as I continued my role as a protector of the people, king Phillip ordered the death of the entire Dragon Race from the continent and many Dragons were killed, but many humans died every time they got close to one" he said looking and feeling the stone cold memories of the dead dragons hearing their screams and sadness as they died, pure animals dying, left right and center of the world.

MANY YEARS AGO
when he first got to the hill of the Jushine Mountains, he first looked at his fellow knights as he then walked up, but soon the Mountain began to shake as the Dragon flew and burned all of his comrades alive as they died very fast, it was terrifying at first then he began to defend himself as his Shield was made specifically to deflect the Dragons Fire, as the Dragon fought with honor and knew his company of human were already coming after him, it was a Struggle between a human who fought with pride against an animal that was not only fighting for Survival but also honor, the Dragon Blow Fire at him but using his shield to defend himself, he was still getting thrown back by the wings of the dragon.
"Damn!" He said as he knew he was about to become meat for the dragon, but he saw one knight used a Crossbow and shot it's Next which the dragon cried out in anger and burned him alive, this gave him the chance to use his sword and cut the Dragons throat, he climbed on the Dragons back as he plunged his sword in his back, the dragon let out a huge cry as it was flying out of control, it was not only when he hit the side were a large mass of rock then began to crumble down, and as they hit the ground, Alzu then dropped and broke his left arm crying in pain, while the dragon was hit hard but was breathing Hard but with tears.
When Alzu came close to the Dragon he could feel the animals pain and sorrow as he was the only knight to have finished off the last of the dragon this day as he looked into the dragons eyes, he saw only Regret and sadness as the dragon died, it was at that moment when he realized he had did a crime as he was the one that finished off the last of the Dragons and soon would hunt him for the rest of his days like any sane man would feel.

TO PRESENT
"That is when I killed the last Dragon" he told the boy as he had noting else to say other then he retired and gave up the life of a knight and lived out his days here, his home Town that he loved so much, but he would never ever forget those days as to what he saw, the death, the pain, the loss of life, Humanity's Shame, all of these things made him feel so much guilt and he won't be the last as he knew "boy you should go home it's passed day light and will be Night time" he told him as he was blind and couldn't see very well "sure and um.... mister Alzu?" He said to him calmly "Yes" he said to him back "would you do all those things again when... you were younger?" He asked him a very simple and yet difficult question most would ask any man of his age. "No, if I knew better I would have stayed out of the civil war and the purging of the Dragons, I would do anything to make the right choice rather then the wrong, I prey That the gods forgive me for what I have done as I know, they have." He told him with that simple answer as he shed a tear from his eyes, the boy hugged him so that he does not feel lonely and he did smile that one time.
Then the boy left back to his family and never telling anyone about who Alzu is or who he ever is, Alzu was happy that he got the pain of his chest, he was so so happy he went to sleep on his chair, happy that he could share his knowledge of the past to someone who isn't bad nor good, but someone who can make a difference on the worlds point of view and to make sure the mistakes of the past will never happen again.
