Rise Of The Dragon Emperor

153  Leaving Avalon

 The next 2 days after the youth showcase event saw many powers interested in building deep connections with Avalon.

Percy got a total of 43 marriage proposals whereas Ronan got a whopping 71. Sierra became extremely worried about the future of her two boys as it was a given now that in every major social gathering , some or the other evil witch will try and seduce them for sure.

While Sierra wasn't too afraid for the loggerhead Ronan , she was worried about Percy after his last love escapade.

The relationship between the Draco family had smoothened out in the two days  following the fight between Ronan and Percy, as while the two boys recuperated , Percy's sincere penance for his mistake made the elders of the family forgive him quite easily.

However a bothering piece of news occupied much of Alexander's time which was that a border village had been raided and destroyed and the assailants had supposedly fled the territory after looting and plundering.

The peculiar part about the attack was that all the bodies of the deceased were devoid of a single drop of blood and as writhed as a shrivelled corpse.

It was the most dastardly of attacks and the chances of the attack being a bandit raid seemed to be seldom. This annoyed both prime minister Leif and Alexander to no ends , as Leif took it as his personal failure in terms of information gathering while Alexander looked at it as a failure to protect his people.

But both men understood that the key now was to search for the attackers and wipe them out to make sure that such an incident did not repeat again.

Search parties were hence deployed in the region and the security of other border towns was tightened.

Shakuni chose to stay in Avalon after the tournament as he started to oversee Ronan's day to day training.

The old man did not provide any pointers to Ronan whatsoever, however observed his every training session intently as he passed his days in complete secrecy otherwise.

There was some sort of secret that shakuni was hiding and Sierra could feel it in her bones. However she could also feel that whatever the secret was, the intent of shakuni towards Ronan was not malicious at all , which made her feel reassured about Ronan's future.

Ronan was technically supposed to stay in Avalon for much longer , however when the time for the fiery flames sect to depart from Avalon came , and Percy went with them , Sierra let go of her selfish ambitions to keep Ronan around for herself too as she blessed the boy to leave with shakuni.

It was a tearful day for grandma Luna and grandpa Augustus to see their boys depart , however Sierra seemed to be unusually level-headed as she did not shed a single tear.

If nothing else there was immense pride in her eyes as she truly felt amazed at what her boys had become and what their future was going to look like.

If nothing else , atleast in terms of moral values both Percy and Ronan were morally strong and just. She had succeeded in giving them good intrinsic values and make them true warriors of honor which was her greatest success as a parent.

Now the job of making them the best warriors were upto their respective masters.

faith in shakuni and his methods , as he did not cross question the old man's orders even once

throughout the journey.

Now the job of making them the best warriors were upto their respective masters.

It was a new beginning and a start of a new journey for the kids , although the atmosphere was a little bittersweet nobody truly thought it was the last time that they were seeing one another , however little did they know what fate had in store for the Draco family.

As Percy left for the fiery flames sect and Ronan left for the Heaven Sky Pavillion , grandpa Augustus left for the frontier village where the terrorist raid had occured.

Seeing Alexander so stressed out about it , the old man volunteered to take charge of the mission and investigate the perpetrators himself.

Although he had been out from active combat for over 7 years now , grandpa Augustus was still in a tremendous fighting shape and could easily take down a fighter of similar callibre.

In this manner , 3 of the four Draco men left Avalon on the same day to different parts of the world.

Ronan and Shakuni walked the road in silence as shakuni mentained a 5 meters gap behind Ronan and carefully studied his walking style , his vigilance and his temperament.

Although Ronan found it a little creepy , what shakuni was actually doing was to study Ronan's bone and muscle structure and understand which muscle groups were weaker and needed training while which ones were too stiff and needed flexibility training.

Alongside that he also studied his inherent danger detection and temperament , as although he could scare away all the beasts in the forest with his aura alone , he hid his power deeply and let Ronan lead the way.

The more that he observed Ronan , the more excited he became about teaching the kid , as shakuni could see that he was a true diamond in the rough.

His senses were unparalleled in the forest and although he could not sense the whole area with his aura , he could read physical signs such as claw and footmarks as well as terrain to understand what areas to avoid and what areas to go through.

The best part about Ronan however was that from the very first day he seemed to have complete faith in shakuni and his methods , as he did not cross question the old man's orders even once throughout the journey.

If shakuni said ' Go left ' , he would turn left immediately even if he had determined that left was a dangerous path to go , and this quality of the  young man was all that shakuni wanted from his disciple.
