Chapter 32 - Chapter thirtytwo: the allknowing

Hi comes back home and meets up with Aria. "I´m back!" he says walking into the garden where Aria is tending to the plants. "Hi? You look different what happened?" Aria asks confused. "Dragonification to reign in my full power flames." Hi says. "Now you have dragon blood too?" she asks him. "We already had it but it was too little to be awakened, now I am a dragonkin." Hi says. "At least I don´t have to worry that your own flames will hurt you." Aria says relieved. "That´s good. I can now use my full potential!" Hi says. "That doesn´t mean you can get ahead of yourself!" Aria says. "I know Sozin said the same." Hi says. Hi senses an aura in the distance. "You feel that too?" Hi asks. "I do! Be careful!" Aria says. Hi rushes off into the next village and arrives just on time. In the village there was an important scroll of ancient magic, that the demon stole. "I knew you´d come." the demon says leaning on a tree holding the scrolls in his claws. The demon is dressed in long silky garment. His face looks human with only the horns protruding, sharp teeth and his pointy ears as well as tough skin. He doesn´t have wings nor a tail unlike the other demons. He has long straight black hair. "Give back what you stole!" Hi demands pointing his sword at him. "Threatening me already, Hi?" he asks. "How do you know my name!?" Hi asks attacking the demon. "Uhuh!" he says waving his finger around. "How rude of you." he says with a barrier deflecting the hit. "So that´s how it is!" Hi says hitting it a couple times more with more fire. "Oh, so naive. No amount of fire can break this barrier." he says. "Yeah?" Hi asks punching the barrier with brute force. "Good job!" he says clapping appearing behind him. Hi turns around swinging his sword. "Too slow." he says teleporting next to Hi. Hi starts following him and attacking him. He gets close once but misses nontheless. "With your abilities it will take more than a hundred years even to touch me." the demon says. "Just wait and see I´ll get to you eventually!" Hi says powering up even further. "Better, but not enough!" the demon says creating a katana out of mana. He deflects all of Hi´s hits and stabs him in the chest. Hi drops on the floor bleeding out. Hi´s mana and fire go wild and his body catches fire and his dragonblood is running wild healing him. Hi grows wings, claws, scales and a dragon tail. "Congratulations it seems you are indeed stronger than you look." the demon says. Hi attacks but misses again. "You´re too naive I can already see what you will do from a mile away!" the demon says. Hi attacks faster and more violently using his claws and wings to assist him. "You have the dragonblood in you indeed, but can you use it?" he asks. Hi swings stronger and gets stronger and faster. "Progress, that´s what I like to see!" he says. "Enough playing around!" the demon says catching Hi´s fist and sword and disarming him and throwing him away. He restrains Hi on the ground with some magic. "It seems that´s it from you for now. " he says. Hi on the ground. "Who are you?" he asks. "Me? Allow me to introduce myself, One of the demon generals, Sapherion the allknowing." he answers. "Why don´t you kill me?" Hi asks. "That would be a waste. I know your fate already and it´s worse than death. I would like to see that. I´m just preparing you for what´s to come. " Sapherion says. "It seems today is my lucky day!" Hi says freeing himself from the barrier and attacking him. "I knew I can trust you to break free." Sapherion says teleporting behind him. "Nighty, night!" he says knocking Hi out. It fades to black and next thing he knows he wakes up in a house in the village. Hi wakes up. "Where is he?" Hi asks. "Calm down." a village lady says holding him back. "So he´s gone already." Hi says. "He is long gone by now. Thank you for your efforts. My kids saw you fight said you were a dragon." she says. "Your kids are they fine?" Hi asks. "More than fine!" one of the kids says. "Show us again." the other kid says. "Now stop pestering our guest and let him through." she says. "Fine." they say disappointed making way for him to leave. "Thanks for looking after me and my stuff." Hi says picking his sword back up. "And the money you took, you can keep it." Hi says. The woman flinches but calms down later. "Don´t try it again, next time they won´t be that kind. I know how people tick." Hi says giving her a stern look. "Please forgive me." she says. "It seems like you need it more than I do. Let it be charity." Hi says leaving the house. Hi teleports back with his chest wound healed. "I remember being stabbed and the wound is gone?" Hi asks surprised. "Where have you been?" Aria asks. "Fought a demon, Sapherion was his name." Aria says. "Sapherion, you say? Good thing it was him and not some other demon general. He is known for being a pacifist even for demons. He never killed anyone he didn´t need too. All he wants is all the knowledge around the world." Aria says. "I thought he was allknowing already?" Hi asks. "He isn´t ,he can see the future and posesses vast amounts of knowledge about everything." Aria says. "He was in another league of demon general compared to that wannabe drakeling. He knew already what I would do and set me up." Hi says. "There were twelve demon generals from hell and a tier over them are the seven deadly sins each representing one sin and having the power to exploit one´s weakness and turn it into strength, and finally the king of hell: the devil. He is close to a god and only the king from the old times could slay him with his sword, light magic and the help of the angels who fought alongside him." Aria explains. "How do you know about the holy kingdom of lights backstory?" Hi asks. "Everyone knows the story of the ancient times when demons and angels fought with humans joining both sides. The stories are all the same demons and angels fought and they used the humans to assist them sometimes dragons would also join in turning the tides. And all stories end the same the old king of all humans slew the devil and there was peace. Strengthened from war they defended themselves agains monsters and dragons. A few dragons were evil and waged war with humans. Humans took it to heart and the dragonslayer knights almost hunted them to extinction and took the dragon´s treasure and took their bodies apart to make a profit and protect the kingdom. Some remain today in the from of dragonkin monks and leftover dragons. Eventually the humans interests split and so did the kingdom into many shattered peaces. Each of the king´s sons or daughters inhereted such land and so all ruling families share the same old kings blood." Aria says. "Fascinating." Hi says. "Now let´s go rest up." Aria tells him.
