Chapter 13

In the middle of the night, Byleth is inside his bed trying to sleep. He could not help but think about what his mother had heard. Whatever it is it cannot be good. He tries so hard to fall asleep but he is too scared. He lifts himself up to look at his emerald crystal pendant.

According to his mother, the crystal Pendant was a gift from his father since the day he hatched out of his egg. Than he remembers his encounter with the large dragon that saved him from an assassin who wanted to kill him. If the young half-Kobold could remember, the dragon looks almost like him making him think it could be his father.

Suddenly from the door, Byleth's mother Azara burst him wearing a cloak shocking him in fright.

"Come on! We have to go!" Azara franticly tells Byleth, as she grabs him by the arm to drag him out of his bed.

"Mother?! What is going on?!" Byleth asks his mother in a worried tone while he is being dragged out of his bedroom.

Azara takes Byleth all the way to a corner and hides against a wall. She takes a peek to see a pair of shady guards marching into Byleth's room. "This is worse than I thought!" Azara silent speaks to herself. She turns around to Byleth's eye level and says, "Son, I know you might have a lot of questions but we have to get out here! You are not safe here anymore!"

Azara takes Byleth out of the castle into a courtyard where they take a Snaguana for a ride out of the city.

Back in the quarters hall, the shady guards entered Byleth's room getting their swords ready. They approach the bed with a lump making them think the accursed one is still sleeping. With their swords, they start stabbing the lump. As they stab they noticed that no blood is drawn.

Consused, one of the assassinating guards removes the blanket only to reveal a pillow with stab marks.

"By the Spirits, the accursed one might have discovered our plans and ran off!" one of the guards complains in a worried tone.

"How are we going to tell the boss about this?" the other guards nervously asks.

Around the outskirts of the Yggra, Byleth rides with his mother on the Snaguana as far as possible into the meadow. They eventually run into a hidden cave to make their stop. "Why did we stop mother? And what do you mean I am not safe anymore?" Byleth asks wanting to know what is going on.

Azara turns around, kneels on one knee to put a claw on his shoulder. "I fear there is something shady going on in this kingdom. I have heard whispers of those who are seeking you harm. I don't know why but I am going to get into the bottom of this which is why you are going to meet your father."

"My father!? You mean I get meet him!" Byleth excitedly asks but his mother looks serious making his excitement dwindle. She did have a small smile though.

A pair of wings is heard behind Byleth making him turn around to see a familiar dark dragon wearing a cloak landing right in front of him. Byleth gasps at the sight of the large drake that is in front of him.

Azara walks past Byleth and embrace the large dragon into an emotional hug followed by a romantic kiss. The Kobold and the Dragon break off and gaze at curious Byleth.

"Byleth, this dragon is Necros, your father" Azara states while Necros had a warm smile on his face, happy that he gets to see his son.

He walks right up to Byleth making the young hybrid a bit shy at the sight of the large dragon who is his father. Necros leans his head down to face Byleth in eye level and greets, "At last we meet again at a better yet unintentional circumstances my son."

"Oh My gosh! So it is true! You are my father!" Byleth latches onto Necros's foreleg into a hug. After a few moments, Azara makes a coughing sound making Byleth let go.

Azara walks up to Byleth to tell him, "Son, this is going to be hard for you know but I need you to go with your father. It is time for you to learn the dragon side of yourself."

"What do you mean? You not coming with us?" Byleth starts to tear at what his mother just said. He had always dreamed for his family to be united but not like this. He turns around to see his father has put on an apologetic face knowing how difficult the sudden change is going to be for the young one.

With a deep sigh, Azara explains to Byleth, "As I have said before, there something shaddy going on. And I am going to find out. Until then you need to go with your father so you could be safe, you are not safe around here anymore."

Byleth grabs his mother into a tearfull hug. He cries onto her shoulder not wanting to leave her behind. Eventually Azara breaks him off and puts him onto Necros's back still crying. Azara and Necros exchange looks to each other for one more moment until Azara tells him with a tear coming down her cheek, "Keep him safe my love".

Necros in turn uses one of his fore claws to gently wipe off the tear from Azara's face and give her a quick kiss on her lips and vows to her, "I will protect him with all my might dearly beloveded as he too is also my son….May the ancestors watch over you."

With that he flies off with Byleth holding onto him. Byleth looks back as he flies off with his father in tears at his mother who stood onto the hill watching them fly to dragon claimed territory in the south.

"Spirits watch over you both" Azara tearfully spoke as she turns around to get back onto her Snaguana to ride back.

In the nighttime sky, Byleth held onto his father who is flying him to where ever the dragons were living all this time. Eventually the father and son fly into the dragon colony which now a large city called 'new warfang' due to the arhcitexture looking almost identical to the original Warfang back home.

Byleth and Necros fly into a large castle onto the balcony where the dragon drops off his hybrid son. Byleth walks into a room which looks like a large library. Compared to the one back at Yggra palace, this one is bigger. As much as he wants to read one of the books, his father calls out to him.

"Son, follow me so I could lead you to your new quarters where you will be staying." Necros explains as he walks past expecting Byleth to follow so he did.

As they walk, Byleth looks around the dragon castle to gaze at the strange decorations, mostly the dragon statues and banners that show strange symbols. They finally made it to Byleth's new room and Necros gestures with his fore claw for Byleth to enter.

Byleth slowly enters his new room to see it more spacious than the one back at Yggra. The new room even has a big balcony in front of him where he could see the entire city of new warfang right under him.

"This is where you will be staying for the time being, you probably have a lot of questions but what you need to do right now is to get some rest, we have a lot to discuses for tomarrow for your new life among dragons." Necros explains and leaves to his own quarters.

Byleth walks up to his new large round bed where he will be sleeping. He opens up the black silk blanket and flops into it. As he tries to sleep, he could not help but cry himself to one as he already misses his mother. His new life among dragons is about to begin.
