My Dragon System

Chapter 351 - Mysterious figure

The orange sash knights were quickly called upon to quell down the flames. Luckily they brought out a weird snake like object which fired water at an extremely strong pressure. Every time Ray would be amazed by the new items that had been introduced to the city. It seemed like his hunch was right allowing Randin to stay here and would have to keep his end of the bargain in the future.

After witnessing what Ray had done with the bow using his fire abilities, Martha wished to see if she could do the same. With the bow in her hand, she started to concentrate her magical wind powers. Slowly again something started to form inside the bow, only this time only Martha was the only one able to feel its energy.

Ray could also see it using his Dragon eyes, but to the n.a.k.e.d eye, the arrow was invisible. She shot it out at a banner that was flying through the sky and it managed to rip it as it went past. However, it was clear in her hands the bow didn't have the same amount of destructive power as Ray. Their magical powers were just at two different levels.

But this gave Martha more options. She could attack her enemies with an invisible arrow and in emergency situations, she would use the Glathreium bolts. Suddenly, with this thought, she was feeling a lot better about herself.

'You can't compare yourself to a monster like Ray.' She said. Recently after Martha had changed and showed her powers she was being called monstrously strong but after looking at Ray she could tell who the real monster was.

A notification screen had popped up via the system for both of them. After reading the contents they realized that it had been sent out to all the redwing members and it was from Slyvia.

"A meeting has been called in the dining hall, all the students will be there, and everyone will be required to attend as this is an important event. Please wear something formal to this event and not your normal beast gear."

After reading the message Ray wondered what the important event could be. But he had trust in Slyvia she had never done anything that effected the Redwings negatively, everything she did was for the sake of the city.

After putting away his beast gear into his dimensional void, Ray's current clothing was very plain and worn down. he didn't have many clothes. While he was at the academy he would just wear there uniform most of the time.

"You're not planning to go like that are you?" Martha said.

"Is there a problem?" He asked.

"Slyvia will kill you if you turn up to the event like that." She replied as she let out a big sigh. "I guess I'm going to have to help you out."

Inside the dining hall all the students were sat down at the large tables chattering away. Rarely did they ever hold meetings as a whole school so they thought it had to be big news or something to do with the Shadow or Empire.

The front of the hall had changed slightly, rather than the grand six chairs they used to have for the elders before, there was now just a single large table that went across the hall with several chairs behind. These seats were now not just reserved for the elders but also the higher-ups of the redwings.

First, there were the Elders. Slyvia, Von, Sir K, Wilfred and Humfree. Then the Master Knights were next, Kyle, Dan, and Harry and there was an empty seat left for Martha when she was due to arrive. Finally, they were then what was known as the founders of the Redwings, although they didn't hold a high rank within the army themselves, they had a special place and treated just as well as the Master knights.

In these seats, were Badger and Sloth, there were also three more empty seats by their side. In the past, Jack, and another two would sit there. But since Gary and Monk's position had been replaced the ranking formation had changed and there was no one there to replace them. However, in their seats right now was Lenny and Bliss. An extra seat had also been added for Van, but he felt a little out of place.

It had been a long time since he had sat at the head of the table. After entering Roland he gave up all duties as a prince but something didn't feel right sitting at the head of the table of another kingdom.

Finally, the double doors to one of the entrances just off the side opened and in came Martha, followed behind her was Ray, he was dressed like never before. A clean smart white shirt with cufflinks was placed on him. He then wore plain black trousers with shiny black shoes. And finally, his hair had been swept back and was no longer its spikey usual self.

In a way, he looked like an entirely new person. Martha continued to look at Slyvia seeing her reaction, and it was as she had suspected. It looked like Slyvia was going to collapses at the site of the new Ray.

As he walked up to the table with Martha at the empty seats that were provided, while Ray's seat was in the centre next to Martha.

"Wait isn't that Ray!" Flynn said sitting form his seat.

"Yeah, it's the guy who was at our training the other day."

"I knew he was someone important look he's at the head table with all of them."

However, it wasn't just the black sash knights that were in an uproar, the other colours were as well. They had each seen him at their training and all wondered who he was and now that he sat at the head table they still couldn't put their finger on it.

'No wonder he was confident in giving me whatever I desired.' Wendy thought. If he was a high ranking member in the Redwings it meant he had the power to do so.

Slyvia then stood up from her seat and the entire hall well silent. She was the head of the school, the head of the elders and the most important person in the room. There wasn't a single person in the Redwing army more important than her the students thought.

"Tonight is a special evening as we celebrate becoming independent from the other kingdoms to form our own kingdom," Slyvia said. "There are many things I wish to talk to you about today but there is one thing that is more important than all the others. I'm sure you all heard the news that a new king of the Redwing kingdom had been selected."

It was impossible to avoid this sort of news, every other kingdom knew about it, so of course, the Redwings did as well. But they knew better than anyone there was no king that stood on top of the Redwings it was a female.

"Well, I am here to welcome and introduce that said King to you. He is not only the king of the Redwing army but also the founder of the Redwings themselves. Please, everyone, show your respect to the new king. Ray Talen." As she finished these words she pointed towards the red-headed man seated by her side.
