《Deck of Cards》Six months later
Advertisement
15th day of 6th month year 10353.
It has been a little over six months now, since Echo betrayed the heroes and killed Chris, the Legendary Hero. So when the king heard of his betrayal, he was angered beyond belief. He put a bounty on Echo head in his kingdom and so did the others. As for his bounty, it is 100 gold coins. And with that kind of money, you can live a pretty good life until your death. Echo himself was obviously aware of his bounty and so, he stayed away from the bigger cities.
As for Evelyn, she was in her room and taking care of her daughter in her hands. She is currently five months old. She named her after her deceased mother, Elena. As for little Elena, she had beautiful silver hair and light gray eyes.
As she was breastfeeding Elena, Mari entered the room, with her now permanent emotionless face, which used to be full of life and happiness.
"Hey Mari."Evelyn greets Mari, who replies with a simple"Hi."
She sits down onto the bed and looks at the baby in Evelyns hands. She looks at the baby and feels slightly angry. She doesn't hate the baby herself, but her gray eyes remind her of the bastard, who killed her boyfriend.
"Evelyn. Do you ever remember Echo having someone on his side, when we went to the dungeon?"she asks her.
"No."Evelyn answers"But now do you mention it, I too have a feeling that I saw someone, but it's always hazy and unclear."
"I have the same feeling. Like there was someone, but that person like doesn't exist in my memory anymore. It is very hard to describe it."
"I know what you mean."Evelyn replies and finishes feeding Elena.
"Okay. Thanks then."Mari says and gets up from the bed, before leaving the room, leaving the mother and daughter there alone.

About twenty kilometers away from the castle, on a road in the forest, there is a girl walking alone. She has red eyes with splitted pupils and bright red hair up to her shoulders. Under hair hair, a pair of pointy ears are sticking out. She is wearing dark brown boots, a pair of black pants, a shirt and a small red coat. Between the gap of his shirt and pants, a red dragon tail is sticking out. She is a young Dragonkin girl, who seems to be lost.
As she walks, five bandits suddenly appears out of the forest and surround her. All of them are wearing black clothes and holding a short sword in their hands. Obviously, they scared her and so, she is holding her arms against her chest, while trembling.
"Don't worry girl. We will be gentle."one of them says and all of them laugh after that. They lick their lips and as they are about to touch here, they hear a voice of a man nearby"How long are you gonna play along. Just finish it."
"Stay out of this!"the bandit randomly yells at a direction, as he looks around with his group.
"I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to her."the voice says and the bandits look at where the girl was supposed to be, but she wasn't there. Instead, she was hovering in the sky, by flapping her dragon wings. She opened her mouth and out of it, a continues wave of flames came out.
"Oooh shi-.HHHAAAAAA!!!"
The bandits scream, as they are being burned alive by the red flame. As they burn, their bodies turn into crisp with a horrible stench of burning flesh in the air.
Soon their screams stop, as they roll around on the dirt, while burning alive. Soon, the bodies stop on the ground, as their bones are only left and they continue to burn.

As for the girl, she lands on the ground, away from the bodies and as for the man, behind the voice, he jumps down on the ground.
He is wearing a pair of black combat boots, with armor plates, a pair of dark gray pants, with two dark brown leather straps around his right thigh. On his upperbody body, he is wearing a black hoodie like clothes with no pockets. Under it, he is wearing a gray shirt. And over it, he wore a black high collar trench coat which he left open in front. On his hands, he wore a pair of black fingerless gloves.
Currently, he had the hood up and had a black sword in its black scabbard attached to his back waist, with the hilt facing the left side. On his head, he wore a piece of black cloth, which acted as a eyepatch over his left eye. His ears were sharp and when he started to speak, a pair of sharp fangs could be seen.
"Okay Lily. That was good, but still not perfect."he tells the dragonkin, as he holds his hands in his coat pockets.
"Yes."she says and runs up to the man."Where are we going, Despond?"
"To get my lovely wives."he replies to her and starts walking, with her following after him.
Reason for why he is only now, after six months, returning home, is because for the past six months he had trained his new vampires powers. It was tough and challenging training to get the control over his new strength and powers. But his powers didn't come without a cost. After his transformation, he lost some of his memories on his life on Earth. He remembers training, but doesn't remember the person who trained him. He remembers killing a person, but doesn't remember who it was. To this day, he still hasn't recovered those memories and has given up trying to recover them, as they are his Earth memories and he right now cares about Terra's memories.
But the memories weren't the worst loss. The transformation took away all of his Elemental Magic powers and so, he just can't simply teleport back to Skyeza and Nina. And so, he has been walking back to them for the past week.
As for the dragonkin girl, she is his student, who she took under him few months ago, after she annoyed him for a week.
The two walked on the rode for two hours, before they got near the Kingdoms wall. The two looked at the kingdom from the distance and Lily asked him"So your wives live there?"
"Yes. Well at least for now."He replies to the dragonkin.
"We can't go through the gate, so we will go over the wall."he tells her what to do, before he changes into a bat and flying away, with Lily quickly following after him, after she grew her red wings.
With her sharp eyes, she follows the small bat over the wall and retracts her wings, when Despond changes back into a human on top of a roof. She lands next to her and asks"Are we close?"
"We're under them."he answers and jumps down from the roof and lands in front of the door. His sudden appearance, scares a few people slightly, before they go on their business.
He looks at the door, before he opens it and opens the door. He enters the shop with Lily following him into the shop.
"Welcome."Nina greets the two and then asks"How may I help you?"
"You tell me, Kitty."he says and removes his hood, revealing his face.
"Echo."she says in a happy voice, as tears start flowing from her eyes.
