Heaven Fate: The Freedom

001. Freedom

"Freedom is what I dream of. Adventuring, fighting monsters, having many friends, and marrying the woman I love, ah.... It's beautiful"

"But.... It was all just a dream"

Crack.... Crack.... Crack....

Wushhhhhhh

There was a crack in the space above the ceiling where little Cain muttered. And behind the crack of the space, appeared a large black dragon, with very sharp and deep yellow eyes.

"Sometimes, we have to accept bitter reality, rather than false beauty." Said the giant dragon.

Little Cain glanced at the dragon, then turned his gaze, "That's just sometimes right?"

The dragon smiled slightly, then nodded his head, "Yes, that's just sometimes"

Little Cain pouted, then lashed the ground with his tiny arm, "Arghhhh! I'm tired of the dragon lord, can't you just let me go?"

The dragon closed his eyes, then looked at the ceiling of the room, "Can't, young master"

"Why can't it?! It's just an easy request, isn't it?!".

"That's all you think, young master"

"Erghhhhhh! You're infuriating!" Little Cain pouted, then turned his small body, because he was too angry to see the dragon figure in front of him.

Looking at the angry little Cain, the Dragon shook his head, then sighed. "There's actually one way that you can get out of here"

Upon hearing that, little Cain was instantly happy, and his eyes were filled with a light of hope, "Right???"

"Yes" The dragon nodded his head.

"What's? Whahuh? Say it!"

"Sacrifice"

"Sacrifice?" Little Cain looked dreamy thinking that.

"Yes, with my precious and holy life, you can get out of this place right now. So Mr Cain, how did you decide?"

Cain widened his eyes in disbelief, "You mean if I want to get out, you have to die first?"

"Yes young master. I was willing to sacrifice my life for the young master's will"

Cain's eyes glazed over, he held back his tears in shame, "No need! Freedom may be blissful, but happiness is not equal to your life"

The dragon's heart was touched upon hearing Cain's words, "Thank you young master, I love you so much"

"Hmmphh!" Cain simply snorted, to hold back his embarrassment.

"The "God of Space, and the Goddess of Time, a ruling entity that once lived thousands of years ago. The strength of both of them was equally powerful, even each of them was able to split the sky with a single swing of a finger, then the swing of his hand was able to create a tsunami, and the stomping of his feet was able to split mountains. But because it was strong and there was no comparable opponent, the Goddess of time was bored, and challenged her husband to a fight, and it just so happened that her husband was bored, so the two fought for decades, until the god of space died in the fight, for succumbing to his wife. His wife felt guilty for killing her husband, so she killed herself to atone for her sin"

"Master dragon, why are you so happy to tell me about that selfish married couple?" Cain wondered why the dragon in front of him kept telling the story for hundreds of times.

"They've been paired for thousands of years, so they must have had children, right? And of the two, no one thought of his son at all, so they both deserved to be called selfish."

The dragon gave a small smile, he was very proud of his extremely critical young master, and was broad-minded, "That's right young master, they indeed deserve to be called selfish"

"Yes!"

"But even though they are selfish, they have saved billions of people, so they do not deserve to be hated by others, but deserve to be hated by their children"

"So I don't deserve it?"

"I don't know"

Cain raised next to his eyebrows, when he saw the reaction of the dragon figure in front of him. "Oh"

***

"17 years have passed together, until finally the time of separation has arrived. Ah... Beautiful times, huh?"

"Yes, mr dragon"

"It is time for me to die, and so that my death is not in vain, I will get the young master out of here"

"Yes, mr dragon"

"You're too quiet, young master"

Cain who was already big smiled slightly, "I'm just holding back my tears, dragon lord." Now, Cain's appearance has changed 180 degrees. Her short jet black hair, with her deep bright red eyes, made Cain's face like a sculptured sculpture, from the greatest artist in the world.

"Haha, you are indeed adorable, young master" The appearance of the dragon master was older than before, his complexion that was pitch-black and extremely hard, turning into a gray skin that had been weathered away by time.

The dragon master stuck his head on Cain's head, then closed his eyes deeply.

A single tear flowed down Cain's cheek, "Thank you and goodbye, dragon lord"

"Find your true destiny, then I can die peacefully"

Cain nodded his head, he was too sad to talk to the dragon lord. "Mr dragon.... Can I know what your name is?"

"My name is Mavros, the king of dragons." After saying that, the dragon lord's body turned into light flakes, and entered Cain's body.

The black ceiling and dome that confined Cain for thousands of years, slowly began to crumble, and was devoured entirely by the light. At that moment, Cain collapsed unconscious.
