With the contract being signed, it is time for Zio to head out of this mountain and grow stronger, it is time for him to go out there and see the world and how it really is, how good it can be and how bad it can get.

To grow stronger Zio has to experience everything.

"It is time, I haven't seen the sun for such a long time"

Asura said inside Zio's head, now they have a contract between them, they can now communicate with each other through their minds.

"Woo, I can listen to your voice inside my head, how did you do that?"

Zio was surprised by this as this is completely new to him.

"We can talk to each other without opening our mouth, this is one of the abilities that you get when you humans form a contract with being of magic"

Asura explained.

"Now, let's head out, I am tired of seeing these walls for eons"

Hearing Asura, Zio started to walk towards the entrance of the cave, even he has not seen the outside world for three years and now he has got what he came for and is feeling great, he even forgot about the Dragon that is outside.

He just wants to meet his family and show them the Religan that is Asura.

_____________________

Outside the cave, the Dragon is doing its usual thing and that is sleeping, it spends most of its days sleeping and when it's hungry it goes for a flight and hunts down something big that can fill his stomach for two to three days.

As the Dragon is enjoying his time alone sleeping he noticed some changes in the environment around him.

He had completely forgotten about the threat that is inside the cave, it has been three years and he knows it but seeing no action from inside the Dragon thought that the being that is inside the cave forgave him and decided to continue its slumber.

But suddenly the surround around it changed and the Dragon clearly noticed it, the energy around him suddenly dropped, it was as if the energy source of this mountain disappeared.

For millions of years Mount Asura is feeding on the energy released from Asura, it is also the reason why the top part of the mountain is all green and the bottom is cold like a glacier, the beasts that live here depended on the energy released by him to grow stronger, every plant and trees that grew on top of this mountain is filled with Asura's energy.

The Dragon being one of the purest breeds of magical creatures easily noticed the changes, it opened its eyes and looked around as this change was very sudden, that is when he noticed, someone from inside the cave is coming towards him.

Not one but two different auras, the first aura was weak and didn't bother the Dragon much but the second one terrified him.

The Dragon backed off a little as he felt the three hearts inside his chest started to beat faster as the energy was too intense for him, after a few seconds he finally saw the one that has scared him so much.

He saw a young human walk out with a black sword in his hand, the Dragon looked at this human kid and realized that it was the same little one that fooled him and entered the cave, he thought the kid died but to his surprise, the kid is still alive and he is also holding a black sword.

The Dragon looked at the sword and chills ran down his spine, he realized what the entity inside the cave really was, it was this sword, that dangerous being that his parents warned him off.

The Dragon realized that the sword is actually a Religan and he also realized that it formed a contract with the boy as it could clearly see the connection between the sword and the boy.

Zio noticed the Dragon and backed down a little, he was so excited about his new Religan that he forgot about the danger this dragon possesses.

"Oh it's the little lizard"

Asura's voice came out of the sword, loud and dominating, as soon as the dragon heard it, he didn't know what to do, he just bowed down its head subconsciously.

"Little Lizard, looks like your job is over here"

When the Dragon heard this he got confused, he didn't know what it meant, he has spent his whole life in these mountains and doesn't know what to do with his freedom now.

The Dragon thought about the day when he will be free but he never thought what he was going to do when he becomes free.

Asura who is inside the sword looked at the Dragon and suddenly thought of something.

'Zio, I think you should make this lizard your second Religan'

Zio suddenly heard Asura in his head saying this.

'But will it agree to come with me?'

Zio asked.

'Why wouldn't he?'

Asura said and looked at the Dragon who seems to be thinking about what to do.

"Hey little lizard"

Asura called him, hearing his voice the Dragon panicked and looked at Asura as he doesn't know what to do.

"What is it, sir?"

The Dragon asked politely, even though Asura is in his Religan form he can still do a lot of hurt to the Dragon and he knows it, it is better to be safe and respectful then sorry.

"Become my partner's secondary Religan"

Asura said.

When the Dragon heard this he was shocked, a secondary Religan is no joke, people who have two Religans can suffer from slow cultivation and even the Religan will develop slower, becoming a secondary Religan is the worst decision a Magical Beast can make.

"Sir I don't know"

The Dragon said hesitating and trying to find a way to deny it.

"Shut up and do what I say, I know what you are thinking but I am telling you, you will be very happy at the end"

Asura said to the Dragon.

Even though it looked like Asura was giving a choice, he was clearly not, he wanted the Dragon to form the contract and nothing else, the Dragon could also no deny Asura, he is still not strong enough to go against Asura's will.

If it was his parents then maybe as they were adult strong dragons but this one here is still young and has not reached the clinical of its existence.
