The Dragon Lord System
S3 - Orthros's

Inside the dark and silent passageways, Luna stood up excitedly, calling out the name of the creature she seemed to expect to appear.

"Orthros! Come here!"

However, there was no sound of an answer heard, except a gentle echo that echoed in the great hallways of the dungeon.

But Luna did not give up so easily. With a cheerful hum, he continued to call out the name, combining his excitement with the tone of the call.

"Orthros! The orthros! I'm home, come here! Look I brought you a present for papa, look here! And I also kept some delicious meat for you, come here!" Luna shouted enthusiastically, creating echoes within the darkness.

However, there was still no sign of Orthros appearing. Luna frowned, her confusion increasingly apparent.

"It's weird, why doesn't he come out? Is he playing hide and seek with me? Or maybe he's asleep? Looks like. Alright, it's time to find him in this 1st floor passageway," he muttered in a mixed tone between excitement and confusion.

Luna carefully decided to venture deeper into the large, dark passageway, hoping to find Orthros.

However, leaving no gifts for her father, Luna kept a tight hold of the large egg in her hand.

Walking in light steps, Luna entered the darkness that was embracing her into the gloomy dungeon.

Luna continued to search for Orthros in every dark corner, calling out her name with vigor. However, the answer was still not forthcoming, making him even more frustrated.

After walking for some time, Luna finally stopped somewhere. He saw the debris of the skeleton undead strewn about in that huge passageway.

Luna approached the crowd of wreckage of the decimated skeletons undead. His eyes were fixed on a large, conspicuous flint in the middle.

Doubt began to fill his mind, and he grabbed the stone fragment with curiosity.

"Well what is this?" muttered Luna, while fumbling the flakes carefully. But as the shape and size of the splinters began to form in his view, his expression turned to shock.

"Orthros?!!!" she screamed, not believing what she saw. His eyes widened and began to glaze over, and was immediately startled.

Luna laid her eggs temporarily and with great sense of haru, she embraced the crushed rock of the golem shreds. His cries were unstoppable as he looked, his pet that had now only become a stone fragment.

"Orthros!" muttered Luna bitterly, hugging the stone fragment as if it was still her living pet.

Before leaving the dungeon to follow her brother, Luna felt heavy leaving Orthros, her beloved pet.

The great Cerberus, Orthros, was Luna's loyal friend, and their relationship was like an inseparable friend. Luna always spent time playing with Orthros, and often heard their merrily laughing in her father's dungeon.

Orthros is a cerberus who is not only loyal, but also very funny with his adorable demeanor. She has become an important part of Luna's life, and Luna loves her very sincerely.

Before leaving, Luna had actually begged her father to allow Orthros to come with her. However, his father refused on the grounds that humans would fear and suspect animals such as Orthros. Although disappointed, Luna respected her father's decision.

Orthros remained in that huge hallway, standing with unwavering loyalty. Luna's father only gave Orthros permission to be there, as a place to say goodbye to Luna before she left with her three brothers.

Luna had actually ordered Orthros to return to his room on the 7th floor after he had left the dungeon. However, the great Cerberus, Luna's loyal pet, remains faithfully waiting in the large hallway on the first floor. His heart was filled with enthusiasm awaiting the return of his master.

Luna was speechless, tears streaming down her cute cheeks. Trembling, he crouched down beside the rock fragments that used to be loyal companions.

"Orthros... Why did this happen?" muttered Luna in a shaken voice, trying to cope with the deep loss.

He clasped the stone fragment in his arms, as if it was the remaining part of his beloved pet.

As tears fell, Luna pondered all the wonderful memories they had shared.

"Who would dare to kill my Orthros?!" luna exclaimed with burning emotions. While still hugging the corpse of Orthros, he exuded a white holy aura that filled the dungeon passage, reflecting his deep anger.

However, the scenery he saw around him only made his anger even more heightened. The huge hallway of the dungeon was filled with broken and dead skeleton undead.

Luna realizes that this is a spawn point job created by her sister, Karina. He used his skill to create a spawn point of the undead skeleton pop-up troops in this hallway.

Luna continued to look around the large hallway, looking for signs of the abuser who dared to do this heinous deed. His eyes were finally fixed on something on the floor. He grabbed an arrow that still left a residue of holy magic.

"A holy magic arrow?" muttered Luna with curiosity. His heart felt increasingly called upon to unravel the mystery behind this attack.

Who is the real culprit? What is the motive behind this cruel act? Luna feels her determination is getting stronger to seek the truth and avenge her Orthros death.

And in the midst of his chaos and fury, Luna looked at the large floor of the dungeon and saw a piece of broken bottle that still held a bit of water. Holy water.

It didn't take long for him to realize the meaning of these findings. His memories instantly brought him back to when he was in the human city and visiting the adventurer guild.

Suddenly opened in his eyes. This bottle fragment was an item he had seen in the human adventurer guild.

"The human adventurers?!" luna said in a voice filled with shock and anger.

The anger within him peaked. They were the ones who had killed Orthros, his loyal friend and pet.

Luna felt a dull breath as her anger grew bigger and bigger. He clasped his hands tightly together, letting his fist smash against the dungeon floor with a room-shaking force.

BAMM!!

BAM!!

The sound of the blow echoed in the large hallway, reflecting the burning fury in Luna's heart.

"DAMN INSECTS! I WON'T FORGIVE YOU, DAMN IT!" luna shouted with a voice that echoed throughout the hallway.

As the hatred and anger within her overflowed within her, Luna also realized that she also had a responsibility for what happened.

Tears poured from his eyes, mixing with the look of regret that adorned his face. He spoke in a choked voice, revealing a new understanding that weighed down on his heart.

"Ti-no this is all my fault" muttered Luna, her voice full of regret.
