I stood in the middle of a meadow.

I held on my hand, a single sword. It looked heavy yet for me it weighs like a stick.

Sighing, I removed the sword from its bladed sheath and raised it on the air.

"Embrace your honor and dreams. Never forget who you are or what your mission is," I said slowly as I closed my eyes. I want to protect them all, my family and friends.

I felt the breeze hit my face gently and I feel the grass, the trees and everything around me singing a song of life and death. I could not help but smile as I remembered something from a few weeks ago. I let the sword rest on my back and grabbed the sheath with my other arm and smiled. I opened my eyes and they felt like they were burning. I glared at the sky filled with beasts and demons and run towards them with a battlecry.

I lied down on the sand, my body feeling so heavy and I was almost about to pass out. What a drag! I pushed my body and tried to stand but was stopped by a pair of girls who helped me sit properly.

"Thanks, Sakura, Yukino," I told them sincerely and I felt all my bruises, wincing with every breath.

"Jeez, don't burn yourself out," was Yukino's only reply as she wiped a bead of sweat from her forehead and tied her black hair to a ponytail.

"Mao-chan is right Ren-Kun," Sakura replied as she glowed with magic and I felt my body become lighter.

"It can't be helped. I need to get stronger!" I said as I tried to stand up and was helped by my two companions.

"what are you even trying so hard for?" Yukino asked me as the both of them helped me walked towards the Taka and his girl, Kaori.

That made me think about what I was doing this. Is it for me, for my mission, to sate my boredom, to keep my mind off things. I remembered my little sisters, one by blood and two by choice on this world. I then remembered my father and mother. I don't really care about anyone else other than those who are important to me. I looked at the two beautiful women beside me and saw their looks filled with curiosity, confusion, admiration, and worry. I smiled as I remembered what Chrona told me. I saw Wahrheit as a wolf along with Taka and Kaori under a tree.

"I do this in order to live and protect those important to me." I smiled at them and rubbed their heads lightly before walking ahead of them. I laughed a bit when I heard them curse. When we reached the tree, I smiled and turned around at them before sitting on my partner. "After all, I need to practice more because If I don't I won't be able to protect you to the best of my abilities."

I looked at the two of them and saw that they were smiling happily and a bit of red on their cheeks?

"fufufu. That's so sweet Ren-kun." "sheesh don't worry too much about us."

"I know you two."

"BUT!" "BUT!" They shouted at me and I listened at them.

"You have to make sure that you will take care of yourself as well Ren-kun. You always get hurt." Sakura's soft voice told me and I was touched. Only my family has been worried about me.

"She is right. You need to...."

I suddenly see myself on my room and I remember the events that happened in Ignia.

I looked at the mirror and saw my older face. It has been 7 years since I was summoned in this world and I am now 22 years old with White hair. I traced the scars on my face, particularly a nasty looking scar that runs through my eye. It was the mark of my greatest failure. I lost two brothers and a sister that day. I clenched my hand and looked at myself with disgust.

It has been 2 years since the Dragon Kingdom of Ignia was destroyed by the great dragon civil war along with the surprise attack of the demons and a combined assault of several enemy kingdoms. We were able to hold them off for half a year, successfully evacuating the youngest members of the royal family. But it was not without a price.

I looked at the two females besides me and looked sadly. The prices were our companions. They both lost a sister and a brother and they still carried on while I,

An image of a girl wearing an armor lied dead on the throne room surrounded by thousands of bodies, an Old dragon ripped to shreds with the only thing remaining of the once proud beast was its head used as a throne, several hundred of comrades and people, a kingdom, and a dead wolf on the feet of a heavily injured dragon.

I lost my way once.

The smell of blood, on me. The sounds of bones breaking, dying screams and ghastly wails. I left war on my wake. Killing demons and all those who oppsed me or dare to utter insults about my kingdom. I went mad and was called a warlord. I remember that when the demon king sent an army against me, I impaled them all on my chains and decorated an entire area of 5 kilometers with the impaled corpses of their troops.

They stopped me. We fought and fought and they said what I needed to hear. I rubbed the heads of the two girls beside me and get off the bed silently, making sure that they were comfortable.

I hope Milli is okay wherever she are. In the end, I failed her and the only thing she has to remember me is a golden knife and a whip made of chains. I failed my promise but I gathered all the remaining Dragonkin on a single country anf led them until they chose a king, one who would rule and protect them as well as do what I couldn't.

I am now ths leader of a special force in this kingdom, Ryuuou. I am in charge of destroying all those who threaten to harm my new home.

I know if Goetia is defeated I will be returned to my world. So, until then I will stay with Sakura and Yukino. It might sound lame but I guess I did fall for them somewhere along the way. Goetia I'm coming for you.

I smiled and reached out my hand summoning a beautiful halberd made from a dragon's corpse. This will be the end. The heroes may be the ones who will kill you But I will be the one who will defeat you.

It was just a few hours after I snapped at Ren. He was my childhood friend and best friend. He knew that I liked-no loved master Griffith but he hurt him.

I was so angry that I didn't control myself and I destroyed our friendship. It was too late, before I could apologize Ren laughed. He laughed bitterly. This was the first time I saw this side of him. He always has been kind but when I tried to apologize he stopped me and he left.

I didn't care much at first and tended to Griffith and took him to the infirmary along with the others.

I was curious as to why Griffith attacked Ren and he told me that was because he scared Trina. Oh my sweet love, always protecting those close to you. I listened at what Trina said and I was shocked. So that was why he exploded.

I. I need to find him. I was about to leave and remembered what I said. Oh no! I need to find him now!

I wanted to leave but I wanted to make sure that Griffith is safe. While we were fretting over Griffith and made sure he was alright, I asked Trina what happened and I was shocked. I now understand why he is angry.
I was about to go after him when A bright light surrounded us and when it disappesred, we found ourselves on  a castle.

We were told that this world was in a war with demons abd that we were summoned as heroes in order to help them bring balance to the world. Naturally, we all accepted without a second thought. Soon, we were all winning every battle we went through and we went over our heads. We lost for the very first time and we all felt dread as we looked at the monster that stood before us three years ago.

Our allies and kingdom managed to gather 300 thousand troops in order to defeat a kingdom that was led by evil heretics. We led the vanguard thinking that we will win  but it was the opposite. When we got there, we saw demons attacking that kingdom and seeing an opportunity, Griffith ordered for us to charge with the against the kingdom and the demons attacking them. It caused a three-way war that we shouldve have won.

But, THEY came. A man covered in armor amd blue robes, hiding his face, a huge dragon that was more powerful that all those we have seen, behind them were several smaller dragons with riders on their backs. We found out that they were the storm borne, Elites of the Elites of the kingdom of Ignia, they were battle proven and tested, effective and efficient, deadly and precise. The demons, numbered 20,000 while our armies were at 300,000 while the Ignians numbered 5,000.

The man dodged an attack from a demon and landed on the battlefield gracefully. A beautiful longsword appeared on his hand as he slowly walked towards the armies. I remembered the time when we laughed at that man, several thousand of our men were sent forwards as they all ran towards the man. The man simply held his sword high and muttered several words before walking, jogging and then running towards the army.

"It's over now Crystal," Griffith's calm voice soothed me.

"well Griffith, wanna go on a date later?" A seductively mature voice came from an annoying cow said.

"Back off Joan! I asked him first!" I shot at herand she merelysmiled before hugging Griffith's arm putting it between her mountains.

"Why you?!" Our constant routine of fighting over Griffith along with the other girls usually lightened the mood but when we looked at our soldiers we froze up. Down on the battlefield, the 1st battalion we sent was almost wiped out in a span of a few minutes.

The man boredly flicked off the blood on his blade and pointed to a part of the battlefield with the corpses spelling out, "Is that the best you can do? That was not even fun."

We saw him dance around the invading demons, while cutting them down. One of them succeeded to disarm him of his sword l, but, it turbed to a wolf that devoured and killed those who would get close. The man drew a beautiful whip and used it skillfully to destroy those who would attack them. When we recovered enough to form a plan, we found out that the storm bornes have been attacking our rear and flanks continually. We gathered all the key figures of our armies and we managed to escape, from the 300,000 soldiers, all we had left were 30,000.

For several years we kept fighting to defeat that kingdom losingmore and more soldiers each time. Yet at the end we managed to win.

At the last battle of that war we were all ordered to stand by as several hundreds of thousands of troops attacked the capital of Ignia and we were sent to train in order to defeat Goetia
