First time flying

DLR - 40

'Okay...what do I do' Vernox asked as he stared at the top of the volcano that had smoke coming out of it.

'I wonder what demon Lord Vernox is doing. He's been staring at the entrance for quite sometime Now' the guard thought, referring to the top of the volcano as the 'entrance'.

...

'It may be difficult because it's my first time. But I'll try' Vernox said to Ariel inwardly as she just finished explaining how to use his wings without transforming to his demon form.

He closed his eyes as he began feeling the soul energy inside his body. He located his soul vortex which was in his abdomen. The soul vortex was red and a red aura surrounded it as it swirled like a tornado.

All he had to do was to direct his soul energy to his back where an overload will cause his back to transform.

Trying it he directed all his soul energy and red light from the vortex moved and spread around his back.

*Voo*

Two red dragon like wings sprouted from his back and tore his robe from behind. He didn't mind his robe as he was busy checking out his wings which were...wide.

It was as if he had another limb on his back and it felt surreal. It didn't take him long to figure it out as he started flapping his wings gently while still looking at the volcano's top.

...

'Wow' was the word that came to the guard's mind as he saw Vernox's dragon wings. They were beautifully red and was as beautiful as his brother's, Damien's which were blueish.

It was rare for a dragon kin to have wings of other colours except from brown which he had.

Only dragonkin demons with rare or unique bloodlines could have a stronger part in their genes.

Although Vernox was adopted the guard wondered what exactly was the demon Lord's bloodline.

Putting more energy in his extra limbs that were his wings he made a big flap and...

*Boom*

He shot upwards with a great speed, leaving dust and wind on the floor.

The guard was covered with dust from the action. He could tell how much force was put in that flap. He admired the demon Lord even more now.

The guard jumped with force towards the demon Lord that was moving too fast. Brown dragon wings sprouted from his back. There was two open rectangular holes behind the armour for the guard's wings.

He flew at great speed but compared to the demon Lord's speed, his speed paled.

...

"Damn...I'm enjoying this!" Vernox said as he flew upwards towards the volcano entrance. The wind howled in his ears, making him feel like he was a wind God of some sort.

He flapped his wings harder, boosting his speed more ass he left the guard far behind.

***The guard***

'I'm catching up to him' the guard smiled as he was flying at full speed and was getting close to the demon Lord.

Suddenly, the demon Lord looked at him and smiled. He wondered what the demon Lord was smiling about when suddenly.

*BOOM*

The demon Lord blasted forward with greater speed while leaving a force wind as he flapped his wings.

The guard was hit by the wind and spun a few times in the air before regaining balance.

"HOW?" he said out loud as he just witnessed speed greater than the previous demon Lord's. He was almost catching up to the demon Lord, happy that he was a little bit faster when...the demon Lord showed him that he is supreme and left him in the dust.

"Ahh!" the guard grunted as he flew towards the volcano at his speed. He can't believe he was leading the demon Lord to the academy, it feels like it was the opposite now.

***Black dragon general***

Guardian of the demons sacred land and a previous demon general. He stood on a black rock on the volcano's mouth.

He was clad in full body black armour with a cape like a war general. His helmet had holes where his two black horns protruded from at the sides of his head.

His red eyes that were showing from the helmet were fierce and unwavering. He looked like he was about to fight a war right now.

"Hm?" he sensed a slight turbulence in the air as he felt a vibration.

He walked to the edge of the top and looked down.

*BOOM*

Something flew past him and a wave of wind blew him away due to the force of the wind.

He took his big sword that was hanged on his back and stabbed it on the floor as he stopped due to the friction.

He looked up slightly annoyed and saw a demon with red wings flying high above the volcano.

He furrowed his brows as he didn't recognize the demon that was flying due to the speed, making the demon look blurry.

***Back to Vernox***

He was having the time of his life... flying was like a way to relieve stress as the winds wash away your worries with the cool feeling.

"Hah!" he sighed as he reached the clouds and suspended his wings while they were wide.

"This is amazing!"

"I would never choose to go back to my old world...ever" he said as he remembered his usual boring life before now.

"This new life...is the best thing that happened to me" he smiled.

He soon started falling in free fall as he dived, closing his wings to not stop his momentum.

Gazing further he saw a black armoured demon looking at him from the volcano and the guard that followed him here.

...

Before he landed he opened his wings quickly and flapped them as he descended, reducing his speed gradually.

*Flap flap*

He retracted his wings as he got close enough and fell normally.

*Thud*

He landed on his feet. He looked at the Demons in front of him which were the guard and the black armoured man...the black armoured man.

"My Lord" the black armoured man knelt down in respect.

Vernox recognised the man as the black dragon general that was...what was he doing again?.

'I think he protected something' Vernox walked towards the demon.

"What is your name?"

"I'm Zaratroth my Lord" the man replied to Vernox's question.

"What is your role here as a soldier?" he asked .

"I'm the guardian of this place. Anyone who wants to enter the training grounds must pass some tests that I will give them" Zaratroth replied.

'Oh...' he remembered now. This was a boss in the game that he defeated to explore the demon training grounds or the demon academy.

"Arise!"

Zaratroth stood up and put his broad sword at his back.

"Where are the rest of your squad?" Vernox asked as there are supposed to be seven people guarding this place.

"The rest of my black knights squad is currently inside the academy currently"

"Ok" he replied flatly.

Still not knowing where to go, Vernox looked at the guard that followed him here.

"Right!, this way my Lord" the guard said as he walked towards the bridge that lead to the middle of the volcano where it stopped.
