Psycho little snake tamed by the dragon king

5) Strange stranger

"Do it again" the dragon king said when the little snake fail to cast the dragon spell. Trying again with hand movement unable to control him self little snake cough up splitting blood.

"Hey" the dragon king sat beside him patting his back. "Let me check on you"

Dragon king checked his body using spiritual power. "The effect of phenix fire that was on your body no longer there. My dragon blood is superior it surpressed it. But it seems like your internal injuries are still here."

"How do you know I was injured by phenix fire" little snake asked surprised.

"As a thousand years old dragon I can't even recognize that, what's the use of living all those years" Dragon king moved his hand to wipe the blood on little snakes lips. Moving his thumb on little snakes pink lip he stopped in the middle and kept looking at his lips gulping down.

The little snake lowered his gaze to look at the tumb on his lip then back at the dragon king. Then he slapped away dragon kings hand wiping the blood from his own hand looking the other way.

The dragon king cough (a fake one) also looking away.

"You can't practice in this state, let's go to the town tomorrow to get some medicine." He stood up from there. "Get some rest" with that dragon king left hurriedly to his chamber.

Late at night the little snake took transformative paper  and ink to write massage "tommorow at dragon valley town" then he burned with flame of a candle watching red burned ashes moving towards the window taking massege to the receiver.

People moving along with streets dragon valley town was busy. Dragon king looking majestic with his red robe walked together with the little snake curiously watching here and there. As they move the little snake slowed down getting his hand to his chest.

"what's wrong little one" The dragon king asked looking back at the little snake.

"I... " the little snake spoke through pain. "I think.. my... injuries are acting up again"

Dragon king went to the little snake. Putting one hand around his slim waist helps him to stand up with the other.

"Let's find somewhere you can rest" he said. After getting a room in an inn. Dragon king helped the little snake to sit on the bed. Then dragon king transferred some energy to him.

"Stay here okay" the dragon king said. "I'll go and fetch the medicine, I'll be back in two hours, I'm not going far don't worry"

The dragon king turned to leave. But after taking a few steps he came back taking the jade ornament on his waist band and cast a spell on it.

"Keep this" Dragon king gave it to the little snake. Then left.

The little snake laid down on the bed rising the jade pendent taking a good look at it. "Did he put a tracking cast on this" he said to himself.

After about 10 minutes he got up from bed throwing the jade pendent on the bed he left the inn making sure servants in the inn won't notice him.

Walking down the street in a hurry, he suddenly bumped into a man knocking down something that was on the man's hand.

"Oh, I'm sorry" Apologizing he bent down to pick up the thing that fell down. 'A toy drum really' he thought. Standing up moved it towards the man in front of him. The man reached for it but instead of taking the toy drum he grabbed the little snake's wrist pulling him towards himself. Leaning in the man moved his face toward the little snake's neck. The little snake turned his eyes towards the man , surprised. 'Is he sniffing me'

"You smell of him" The man stated. The man turned his face towards the little snake his eyes glowing green. The little snake couldn't look away from his eyes. The next moment the man in front of him was totally different, instead of the middle aged man there stood a tall young  man with long narrow eyes and pale skin.

"Take a good look at my face" He said to the little snake tightening the grip around his wrist. "And remember it clearly."

The little snake having no clue what's happening kept looking at his eyes. The young man let go of the little snake's wrist and snatched away the toy drum. Turning away he left in a hurry.

"What the.." the little snake said shutting his eyes and shaking his head then he looked back at the young man only to see the previous middle aged man's back. "What kind of demon is it? So strange"

With that he turned back entering into the nearby alley.
