Heavenly Dao Child

"With the help of Daoist Brother Iolranth of Deva realm, Sister VanishingShadow and Brother BlackThorne by risking their life and soul have managed to gather information about the location of Preta Realm cultivators' camps." 

"Of all the camps this camp on the east side of the gate to the seventh level is not only the lowest in number but at the same time it is the nearest, according to their information there are seven cultivators from the Deva realm kept as hostage amongst them."

"The entire group of cultivators from Preta Realm can be divided into three factions, they are each led by Devil Emperor Jethrar, Devil Empress Ithrura, Devil Emperor Zikris and since Brother Ryuu has already killed Devil Emperor Zikris, his group is now being divided and assimilated into the other two groups, as such their group is in a state of chaos and as such I believe it would be a good idea to attack that small group now.". 

As Chianyu finished his presentation, Ryuu smiled inwardly at that, 'Chianyu needs a projector and laser pointer and then he would have been perfect.'

"Brother Chianyu", Frost Flames spoke while drawing attention towards her as she continued in her usual cold manner, "What is the strength of this group?" 

Chianyu acknowledged her with a nod as he spoke, "From what our esteemed fellow cultivators have managed to gather, the camp is around thirteen hundred in strength." 

As he spoke the numbers the group broke into furious discussions, as Chianyu spoke trying to calm them down, "Please be silent.", as silence descended in the cavern, Chianyu spoke again, "I know many of you have many questions so for the time being please calm down and let Brother Elmer inform you all about the plan."

Elmer gave a small bow towards Chianyu as he spoke, "Thank you Brothers Chianyu for the wonderful summarization of the situation, now what we are about to do is…." 

As he droned on about the plan Ryuu turned him off, 'I hate such meetings they are so boring.'

As he lost his attention at the meeting his mind wandered back to his latest dream that he had, since he had received 'Genesis' these dreams have been more and more frequent, sometimes he had the same dream but sometimes it was different like the dream he had when he was sleeping 'ahem' meditating after the fight. 

It felt so nice, and warm as the small child opened his eyes he was greeted by the smiling face of the most beautiful creature that he had ever seen, and she was smiling down at him, her black hair cascading down like a waterfall, amongst them were red strands of hair that looked like blood being mixed, the person looked at him with relief as she spoke, "That was some wakening of your Divine Body, I have never seen something like that….", as the woman rambled on and on the child tilted his head in confusion.

The woman blushed at that as she spoke, "Ahh, where are my manners, my name is....."

Ryuu never heard the name as every time he was forced to wake up and left wondering but then the latest dream was a bit different. 

The child hid behind the woman as they were surrounded by angry people, bigger than those 'meanie' as the child was calling his attackers and they were dangerous and angrier than the bear who was always covered in fire, and it scared him. 

"Surrender yourself and that demon behind you woman, if you know what is good for you." 

The woman in question simply laughed at the man, a sound that the child found to be extremely pleasant for some reason.

"Really and if I don't what will you do suck on your thumb and throw a tantrum, get lost you are scaring my disciple." 

The child watched in wonder as the big 'meanie's' face turned purple as he bellowed in anger, "How dare you wrench speak to me like that, I am….."

"A nobody in some backwater and unimportant region of the universe that no one would care, now stop whining and SCRAM!!" 

Later on, the child would learn some very important things like what is a 'teacher' and what does the word 'disciple', but most importantly for the first someone, he would receive his name. 

The woman who called herself as his teacher kneeled in front of him as she gave a small pat on his head as she spoke, "Every child deserves a name as such I would call you….." 

Just the thought that at the end he had failed to learn his name as he woke up, made him feel extremely annoyed. 

'If only I can learn my name then maybe I can find out about the rest. I have so many questions yet I have yet to find any answers.'

"....and with this we would succeed. So are there any questions?"

As Elmer finished his speech or as Ryuu classified it in his head as 'Elmer's battle plan 101', Ryuu had many questions in his mind with the most important being, 'Can you please repeat the entire thing? I kind of lost focus and as such I have missed the entire thing.', but unfortunately he cannot say that out loud just decided to listen to others and maybe get an idea or two. 

"Daoist Brother Ryuu, what do you think about the plan?" 

Ryuu looked towards True-Spear he had the urge to bash True-Spear's head for drawing attention towards him, as he spoke with a faux smile on his face, "It sounds great Brother True-Spear."

As such a couple of hours later the group was slowly creeping towards their prey, a solitary group that was a tad bit away from the rest, although they had all agreed to attack, Ryuu was not excited about it, he wanted to wait and learn a bit more about them, and not to poke a hornet's nest like they were about to do.

'Hmm, maybe if I plan some form of diversion, it might cause their attention to be drawn towards it.'

"Ryuu you have been quiet for some time now, are you alright?", Frost Flames words brought him from his musings.

He turned to face her as he spoke with a reassuring smile, "I am fine, just a bit worried about the plan, so many things could happen.", the last part he whispered so low that only frost flames were able to hear him.

Upon hearing that Frost Flames could not help but ask out, "Why is that Ryuu?"

Ryuu looked at the eager looking Elmer as he spoke, "Look at Elmer, he is already walking on cloud nine, I hope you may understand why."

Frost Flames frowned for a moment before she spoke with a gasp, "I understand where you are going, you are afraid we are about to poke a hornet's nest and from the looks of it Elmer is too eager to poke it."

Ryuu nodded at that as he spoke with a small smile, "You took the words out of my mouth, it was what I was thinking about we are about to kick a hornet's nest, and as for Elmer I understand and sympathize but at the same time I cannot condone his actions, actions that would see us dead."

"Why did you not voice your concern before we all ventured forth into this mission, Ryuu?"

Ryuu simply blushed as he tried to hide the fact that he could not have voiced any concern as he had not paid any attention to it and it was now coming to bite him back with vengeance.

"Well, it recently occurred to me the foolishness of our actions.", Ryuu somewhat managed to stammer out an excuse as Frost Flames giggled at his words.

"Please Ryuu you do not have to make any excuse, I was by your side the entire time and I noticed you instead of paying attention to the meeting were daydreaming."

Ryuu ducked his head trying to hide his embarrassment, 'Damn it, how many of my fellow cultivators noticed it'.

He was brought out of his embarrassment and self-pity as Frost Flames spoke with a serious tone in her voice, "So what are we going to do."

Ryuu frowned as he looked towards Elmer before he spoke with a sigh, "There is nothing for us to do now, but keep up our guard and act accordingly and improvising as the situation develops."
