The book said that the Inferno Flower had an Inferno Seed which was used by S-Ranked dragons to turn normal people into uncontrollable S-Ranked Dragons. Any human who ate the seed would turn into an S-Ranked Dragon and get out of control. They wouldn't remember anything. But they'd destroy everything. And the consumer of the seed would die in twenty four hours. The seed would also act like an instant poison after twenty four hours.

He was scared. Too scared. Diato wasn't scared of anything in his life except doors. But he was now.

Death...

This couldn't get any worse now. He laid back on the bed again. Thinking about all the times he was bullied at the orphanage. He hadn't had any good memories to think about except the ones that he passed the final selection - and how exceited he was to go on his first mission. His eyelids felt heavy and in no time - they were glued shut. Diato fell asleep with dried out tears not daring slip down his cheeks.

*****

A loud thud noise woke him up after an hour. It was someone banging at the door. "WHO THE FUCK IS IT?" Diato shouted from his bed so that the person outside could hear him. He didn't want to get out of bed. The little nap had helped so much. It had helped put down half of the burden. Half of the sorrow. Twenty Four Hours... Diato didn't know how long it would take toto pass that much hours.

"It's me!" It was John, "I was here to just remind you to het ready if you are feeling well. You can come with us at the cobble garden. Terra is coming there. That A-Ranked team member... Remember?"

"YEAH! I'M COMING" Diato shouted back. He thought it would be a good idea to hang out with his team. After all t was twenty four hours not twenty four minutes. He decided he'd have as much fun as possible before he died. So he'd have something to remember at the time of his death.

He jumped out of his bed amd changed his T-shirt which had dried tears on it. He wondered how did John even find his clothes. He pulled out some nice pair of new and washed clothes and wore them. He combed his hair and now was ready to meet the new member. He was now not afraid to open the door. He grabbed the knob and pushed it. It didn't open. Then, he pulled it. The door swung open with a smile on Diato's face.

*****

He met Max and John in the basement, unlocking their vehicles with some code. They stared at Diato as if he was supposed to do the same. But Diato stood there stupidly, not knowing what to do.

"Oh yeah he doesn't know about that" Max told John and then turned to Diato, "Enter your name and the vehicle will boot up. It will he basically taken on rent and the money will be taken from your bank account. You might not have connected your bank account yet so sit behind me"

Diato nodded as he jumped on Max's bike. Diato was excited to meet the new member but something pounded in the back of his head...

They left the Organization and turned left again. Towards Troll Tog. Even though he was not driving the bike, he felt like he was. Because he wasn't used to sitting behind people on a two-wheeler. The only time he saw behind someone was on a bicycle. He sat on the carrier of the bicycle of the bully. And he was intentionally thrown off the bike. Since then, he never trusted anyone who told him to sit behind them. But he did now. He knew Max wasn't a bully... Hopefully. They reached the Northern Slum, and the destination was near.

Diato jumped off the bike in the driveway. John and Max parked the bikes and they together went inside the garden.

"I came here on a trip, once! It's a spiral-shaped garden with a campsite and the best part is the adventure cave! There are so many fun things there" Diato spoke.

Max completely ignored Diato but John didn't want to eliminate his mood so he agreed with him with a nod. They walked over the little bridge and reached the campsite. There were no campers, of course. Who'd camp in monsoon? But there were several benches to sit on. Diato sat beside John on a wooden bench. Max sat alone on the bench beside John's bench.

"She told me she went on a mission at the Menders' Fields" Max started.

"Yeah. There was some sort of... You know... Abnormal activities. It was suspected that it was a dragon's activity." John replied.

"So what in the actual fuck are we doing here?" Diato cut in the middle.

John opened his mouth but closed it again as he heard Max say something, "We're waiting for Terra. And Don't you dare use that language with us again"

"What language? English? Okay, ich werde nicht" Diato said in a light-hearted tone.

"I mean that cursing and swearing stuff," Max said, trying to sound calm as he held back his anger. He had never found anyone who talked to him like that but Diato was just having some fun - joking around.

"Wakarimashita, gomen'nasai, dikkuheddo," Diato said, "and that was Japanese by the way. It means I'm Sorry"

"You know we don't know Japanese. So talk to me in English or don't talk to me at all" Max said, his tone clearly saying that he was holding back anger.

"Calm down dude. He's just just joking. I know he's not that rude" John added before Diato could reply rudely.

"John's right dude. You take too much personally." Diato said.

Diato saw John talk about other missions with Max. Diato had no idea what he was talking about. It was probably some C-ranked stuff he was too D-ranked to understand. He sat there dumbfounded, staring at Max and then at John repeatedly. He had nothing to do. He pulled out his phone and started to act like he wasn't sitting there awkwardly but was busy on his phone.

He went to Instagram, and updated his bio from:

Hate My Life

RIP...

He was prepared for it. He wasn't worried because he was going to die... He was worried because he wasn't going to die a Warrior's death. He always wanted to die after he did something big... So that the world would remember him. He couldn't do anything good for him to be remembered. All he could do was wait for his death like a coward.

He saw John stand up and go near the bridge. He glanced at Max, who didn't even ask John where he was going. Diato couldn't stop himself from asking Max,

"Where is he going all of a sudden?" Diato inquired.

"He's going to the washroom" Max replied with his face more neutral than distilled water. "Didn't he just mention it before he went?"

"I didn't hear it," Diato said, realising his absence of mind, "but there's no washroom near the bridge. Is he going to pee in the bushes?"

"No, you dummy" Max replied without looking at Diato, and his expression the same as before, "there's a restroom near the watchtower. You said you've visited this place, how do you not know this?"

"Because our guardian just let us pee in the bushes. And we were children" Diato replied in a similar tone as Max to show him how irritating his tone had suddenly become.

Max, however, didn't care at all. Diato was shocked to see that he wasn't irritated by someone who was talking like him. Diato would be annoyed with people when they tried to mimic him. After a while, John returned with a girl. Diato's eyes grew wide, as he saw John walking back towards them with his hands dry. Does he not wash his hands? Diato thought for a moment. He completely ignored the girl. He didn't know that she was Terra.
