Chapter 7 Zone: Draco

When Nox saw the smoke and noticed the scent of something charred coming from the circuit board, he knew what was going on. Being the one and only Lord Nox, a broken-down car was nothing to him.

He quickly went to the trunk and whipped out a wrench. Nox then quickly turned the screws on the engine, trying to open the lid.

Queenie was still making a call when she saw Nox fiddling with her car. A momentary pause later, she trotted up to Nox. "What are you doing?" Queenie watched Nox in surprise as he took off the engine's lid.

Nox said nothing. He was going unscrewing the screws and checking the circuit.

"Wait. Are you trying to repair my car?" Queenie asked curiously.

Nox said nothing and kept going on with the repairs. About two minutes later, Nox finally connected the broken wire. "Done."

Queenie was flabbergasted. She stared at Nox in disbelief. "You're done? That was fast. You sure that's right?"

Nox grunted. Queenie had more questions, one of them being why an amnesiac knew how to do car repairs. Doubtful, Queenie quickly went back into her car and revved it up. The engine hummed, and the weird noise was no longer there. Even the smoke was gone.

Queenie was delighted to see her car back in working condition. "I can't believe you repaired my car. Maybe you were a mechanic before all this amnesia stuff."

Nox was flummoxed.

"Not bad. I'm sure you used to be a mechanic. Or a repair guy, at least." Queenie thought she knew who Nox used to be.

Nox, however, was speechless.

Just like that, the car was fixed.

Queenie happily drove the car and Nox back to the city. She wouldn't stop praising Nox on their way back, though most of the praises were along the lines of how handy he was and how great at repairing he was.

Nox smiled dryly. Never in his life did he expect someone to see him as a repairman. He was a god of war.

The car finally got onto the highway, and Queenie sped up. Just then, a motorcade of military vehicles came roaring from behind like a dragon. Dozens of tanks followed them.

All the cars on the road made way for this motorcade. They knew who this motorcade belonged to. They came from Zone: Draco, an army base near the south of Riverton. Through the windows, they saw armed militia inside.

Zone: Draco was one of Faeast's Ten Military Zones. The person in charge was a man called Draco Fort.

Draco was a legend among the military, but more than that, he was one of the four most famous generals under Nox.

The military cars went ahead, roaring through the road, eventually passing Queenie and Nox.

Queenie watched the motorcade in excitement. "That's one of the Ten Military Zones. Look at that. It's so grand."

Nox was watching the motorcade pass by as well. "Wonder if Draco's going to cry when he finds out I'm dead."

Nox fell into reminiscence, thinking about his old friend.
