《Law of God (Book 1)》Chapter Two
Advertisement
I went inside my office and was assigned a case by Judge Judith. She explains to he that it was based on a fourteen year old girl who was born with a rare genetic disorder, but was raped by a man who she was friends with before, and her mother is not talking anymore without a lawyer present. I sighed, "Well my day just got great, didn't it?" I asked, chuckling.
"Yeah, but that's not the only thing. This young girl was also tortured, and her name is Sarah Grace, as by the way her mother only calls her Sarah, and her father is no longer in the family. Mom says her husband left her after finding out that their daughter was gonna be born disabled."
I understood, shaking my head. "Mom is in the interrogation room." I thanked Judge Judith, with a soft smile. Judge Judith sighed, "Now if you'll excuse me, I have another trial to go to right now." Judge Judith said, walking out of my office.
I cleared my throat and had already gone straight to the interrogation room to see Sarah's mother, Mrs. Jade.
"I know that my husband did this, he left me alone so I had to raise my daughter on my own." Mrs. Jade said.
I understood, shaking my head. Until one of the detectives who I am enemies with, is Detective Sailor questioning my own client.
Sarah was being interviewed in the playroom while Detective Henderson was just playing with her. "I hated Jimmy, I always knew he was gonna leave me for someone else, and not having the nerve to take care of me or Sarah."
I sighed, just listening to Mrs. Jade, and Detective Sailor continued to question. "You don't have to answer that," I said to Mrs. Jade.

Mrs. Jade sighed, until I noticed Detective Sailor giving me an upset look. Jacob came out of the cafeteria a few hours later along with Izza and David. Other students came walking behind them, and Jacob, David and Izza were the first ones to come out.
I sighed, walking my way out of the interrogation room. Detective Sailor was waiting for me to come out. "What the heck are you doing?" Detective Sailor asked. Before I continued to walk away, I turned.
"You are making me look like the bad cop in there, what are you trying to prove by not making Mrs. Jade answer my questions," Detective Sailor said, in an angry tone of his voice.. "Well I am her lawyer and I have the right to tell her not to."
Detective Sailor chuckled, laughing sarcastically. "I understand that, but don't you be judging my every move, when I have a witness who has the right to answer my questions."
I laughed sarcastically back at Detective Sailor, and I walked up to him. "I was doing my job," I answered back. "No, you do this every time I am trying to interview your clients." I sighed, crossing my arms. "Maybe because you ask inappropriate questions to my clients who you just make them uncomfortable. If it's always gonna be that way, then maybe you don't deserve that badge," I said, before walking away again.
I sighed, as I was on my way to another trial. I was tired of Detective Sailor always accusing my clients of something. He blames Mrs. Jade for not doing a good job raising her daughter. I think I know what's best for Mrs. Jade.
"Mrs. Endedson, can you point out to the man who raped you?"
Mrs. Endedson points out to Mr. Jakeson. "He is the one who raped me, almost killed me to death." I understood, shaking my head. "Mrs. Endedson, did this man force you to have sex with him even before he raped you?" I asked.

Mrs. Endedson sighed, shaking her head. "Yes, that's correct." I swallowed and gulped as I walked up to the jury. I sighed, and continued to question Mrs. Endedson. "Did you ever wanted to have sexual relationships before?" I asked.
"Objection, revilance," Mr. Lewis said.
"Sustained." Judge Mathis said.
I sighed, walking up to Mr. Endedson. "No, I mean, yes with my husband, but I didn't want to do it with anyone else." I hmm at Mrs. Endedson, "No further questions." I said, walking back to my seat. Jacob had got into the bus, and Izza had to ride with her mom.
David rides the bus with Jacob. They have been friends since the third grade.. David was new at Jacobs school. They would tell each other everything. "Will the attendant please rise," Judge Mathis said. Mr. Jakeson stood up and Judge Mathis asked if the jury reached the verdict.
"We have your honor." Judge Mathis, sighed. "On the charge of rape, and murder, we find the defendant, guilty." I sighed, I then knew Mrs. Endedson got justice. I turned and Mrs. Endedson smiled at me, and we shook hands. She thanked me, and I smiled.

Re: Dragonize
After an unexpected turn of events, Drew must now survive in a world full of challenges with life-or-death stakes. Gone are the days when the biggest problems to face were awkward small-talk at physics department luncheons or mountains of lab work; this former physicist is now adrift in an unfamiliar land without any equipment. Now, Drew's only tool (if it can be called that) is a System, which provides constant reminders of all of the things that are still out of reach for a low-level being who's just arrived in a new world. Luckily, Drew has one powerful asset when taking on the challenges of this new world: surviving violent conflict is a lot easier when you have the power of a dragon at your disposal. Still, Drew has always considered violence a last resort. Why turn to fists (or claws) when a bit of quiet consideration might expose a better path forward? Maybe a life of quiet contemplation is still within reach for this former academic researcher. ...Or maybe not. It probably won't be a life of bloodless pacifism. Additional information for those who wish to calibrate their expectations (I'm adding this based on a few comments I received from readers who feel that the story is not what they expected from a dragon-themed story): Re: Dragonize is not a power fantasy -- or at least, it's not intended to be one. Re: Dragonize is a progression fantasy starting with a protagonist who must start at the bottom (or close to it), and work gradually upwards, making incremental progress with plenty of setbacks along the way. The protagonist, as someone coming from the world of academia, tends to be cautious, methodical, and contemplative. As such, expect this story to contain more than a few digressions as the main character takes the time to pontificate on a variety of topics ranging from Newtonian physics and horology to the nature of existence and the ethical dilemmas associated with being an obligate carnivore.
