Rus was sleeping peacefully, until he heard a small noise in his house, for some years he has had a habit of being very alert to the slightest noise, even if he is sound asleep. The day they entered their previous home 5 years ago was night. He was completely asleep without worrying about the outside world, but he was forced to wake up by the cries of agony that resounded throughout his house, the scene he saw just after waking up makes every night have nightmares, he saw all the corpses of the servants and trusted friends of his father thrown throughout the house covering the floor with blood.He immediately thinks that it is Goro who came to buy him the stones, slowly opens his eyes, sees the figure of a person in the dark, Rus is instantly surprised since the figure he sees is not from Goro! the difference is too big, remember that Goro"s body is thin and the person you are seeing is from someone very fat! Rus" heart begins to accelerate at a very high rate, since he does not know who the person is in the dark, he will try to pretend that he is still asleep to prevent the person in the dark from doing something malicious. He doesn"t care about other things in his house, as long as the person doesn"t look at what"s under his bed, which is where the red stones are. Rus realizes something, why would someone from the tribe go to his house to rob him when everyone in the tribe is aware that he has nothing of significance?
The person with the fat physique walks around the house checking every corner of his small old house. The light in the house is very small, there is only a soft red light that can barely illuminate the surroundings of the tribe since almost all the moonlight is blocked by red clouds that only appear at night covering the colored sky Red. Rus doesn"t need much light to see in the dark, but he doesn"t know why he can see in the dark, he never told his parents that he can see in the dark for fear of being seen as a monster, but now they are dead... Rus sees that the person suddenly stops moving, with his back to Rus, the person says "Hmmm, Oh? You woke up boy, well, that makes things easier for me since I don"t have to search randomly in this dump, although I think I know where the things I want are.
"!!!" Rus" pupils tremble with fear, his breathing is accelerating rapidly, he does not understand how that person discovered that he was awake, but he feels that he has heard that voice somewhere, then he thinks of the person who helped him a few hours ago to prevent Fatri check his clothes "T-that voice... are you Nacus?" He asks in a trembling voice, his expression is full of disbelief.
"At that age, you are still calm enough to try to recognize the voice of the person who entered your house so late at night. As expected from the son of the previous chief of the tribe, you are very different from the other children in your age" Rus hears the voice of someone else in his house, before he can even try to find the origin of the voice, he hears a whisper in his ear "I"m here" With his mind in disarray for everything that is happening, he turns his head slowly in the direction where that voice came from and with wide eyes he sees with surprise the person who is only a few inches away from him "...Fatri?" Rus sees that Fatri is in his bed, Fatri is looking at him with cold eyes, he does not understand how he did not realize the moment when Fatri got into his bed.
"Boy, you really surprised me, I didn"t expect you to listen to me since I was using one of the Nyrai breed"s skills and it"s not a weak skill since all the races that belong to the dragon G.o.d of darkness are born with the talent of becoming a.s.sa.s.sins where stealth is very common" Says Nacus, approaching Rus" bed with small steps.
"Pff, with that fat body I doubt that our race"s skill works for you" Fatri says with a snort looking at Nacus. then look at Rus and see that he has an expression of confusion as if he did not understand what they are talking about "Of your expression, it seems that you don"t know what we are talking about, could it be that your father has never told you the skills that the Nyrai race has?"
With a look of mockery, Nacus says "Surely his father did not want to tell his son that he would never have the opportunity to inherit any of the skills of the Nyrai race, boy, if you have to blame someone, blame your mother for being of a race of another dragon G.o.d and the worst part is that she was from the race of the dragon G.o.d of light! Sigh, really, what did the former chief of the tribe think when he married a woman from one of the races of the dragon G.o.d of light? I think I understand a little because the current boss decided to kill him and his wife, he should have known that in the tribe we hate the other races of other dragon G.o.ds, the only races we accept are the races of the dragon G.o.d of darkness!"
Rus has a puzzled expression, his parents never told him about the skills of the Nyrai race and n.o.body from the tribe said anything to him since all the people of the tribe avoid him as if he were a plague. Now that he thinks about it, the reason he sees in the dark is probably because it is a skill of the race of one of his parents, listening to what Nacus says, the safest is the skill of his father"s race, since It is logical to think that seeing in the dark is related to the dragon G.o.d of darkness and not to the dragon G.o.d of light, or so he believes.
He already knew something about the races of the different dragon G.o.ds, although he only discovered it by chance because he heard it from some servants, when the servants discovered him, they stopped talking and even when he tried to ask the servants what they were talking about, none of the servants responded to nothing he asked. Rus does not understand why his parents hid all this information about the races of the dragon G.o.ds and the skills that each race has. But listening to Nacus that he can"t use Nyrai"s race skills makes Rus understand that maybe his parents wanted to protect him from feeling excluded because he couldn"t use race skills, although for some reason he can use a skill that is to see in the dark...
Rus knows it"s not time to think about those things, looks at Fatri and says nervously "W-why are they here?"
"How stupid you are, do you think we wouldn"t realize that you were hiding something? Even if we don"t check your clothes, we can still say that you were hiding some stones because of the way your heart was beating, maybe you underestimate the skills of The Nyrai race? Not only are we good for stealth, we have always been good at having a very good sense of hearing, but a mixed-race will never understand it" Nacus says in a insulting tone of voice.
"Y-you!" Rus was going to shout to try to attract some night guard from the tribe since the stones are too important! But his mouth is quickly covered with Fatri"s hand "There is no need to scream, we will not kill you or anything, we just want the stones you have hidden" Says Fatri, then look at Nacus "Stop wasting time, surely this boy he hid the stones under all this c.r.a.p" Fatri points to Rus" bed.
"Who wouldn"t know something so easy to deduce? I just wanted to check the rest of the house, I was leaving the bed for last" Says Nacus, looking angry at Fatri.
Fatri is not interested in hearing Nacus" excuses and dragging Rus out of bed so that Nacus can search the entire bed without losing a single corner where those stones can hide "Don"t resist, let my friend verify the existence of those stones" He sees that Rus tries to resist trying to remove the hand with which he covers his mouth with his small weak hands.
"Hahaha, I found them!" Nacus takes out some stones that glow slightly red and also says "There are even some Rushu flowers next to the stones, but these things are useless, it"s just poison"
Fatri looks at the stones ignoring the Rushu flowers "Great! If I can sell these stones I will no longer have to worry about that Yurum b.a.s.t.a.r.d, with that money, I can get Arald"s favor, he has always been a money addict, If I can persuade Arald with a lot of money, I"m sure he will help me kill that b.a.s.t.a.r.d of Yurum" Fatri has an expression of happiness at the thought of Yurum"s death" I can even stop being a useless guard who has to spend the whole day standing still next to that d.a.m.n door"

"Don"t forget what you promised me" Nacus says with a frown at Fatri, there"s even a hint of doubt in his eyes as if he was deciding to do something drastic if Fatri doesn"t keep his word...
Fatri stops smiling and looks seriously at Nacus "Sure, I don"t forget my promises so easily"
Rus has his eyes covered in tears, he can only look helplessly at the stones in Nacus" hands that cost him so much effort to get. With much anger in his eyes, he bites Fatri"s hand with all his might "Ahhh!" Fatri momentarily releases Rus, but grabs him again and this time from his neck.
"Cough cough!" Rus coughs dryly, Fatri is holding his neck too hard, with a somewhat manic laugh, he says "Hahaha and think that you would dare to bite my hand, although you are important to my plans if you keep doing that nonsense, I a.s.sure you that I will kill you" He was about to break Rus"s neck, but he calms down and says "You will wonder why I need you to get the stones if it seems easy enough to go to the mountain and take some, right? You know that my job is to collect all the stones that the slaves of the tribe find in the mountain of flowers Rushu, I always wanted to have some stones to be able to sell them since in the countries of the dragon G.o.ds they are sold at a very good price. As you know, slaves can"t steal anything, since everyone has a magical seal of obedience. Even I, who is the guard in charge of collecting the stones, I have to take off all my armor, including my underwear before entering the tribe, so that other guards can verify that I have not stolen any stones, because if they find out that I am stealing something, they will kill me immediately! The chief of the tribe does not want anyone to steal the stones, but for some reason he did not put any magic seal, it seems that he is not interested in other guards checking your clothes to enter the tribe, the chief of the tribe treats you like you don"t exist, which makes you unique, now you understand? If you choose to help me with sincerity, I promise you that I will let you go from the tribe later so you can be free and not live in this deplorable place"
