"Ta khu ta ta khu ta ta khu ta dhan dhan" the beat of the Dheeme Baja (a traditional instrument from Nepal) was echoing throughout the whole kingdom.
Half conscious Leo could feel his whole body ache from some unknown pain.
Even though the itching had stopped Leo's skin started to burn up eventually it started to come off little by little like a snake shedding its skin.
The old mage with some of his companions didn't notice the small change happening to Leo's body.
Until..
Leo's body started to grow which could not compare to a mere 13 year old child.
His hands were turning into claws of a tiger his teeth were becoming more and more like the fangs of a viper. The peeled off skin started to grow into a black hard cover.
Instantly Leo's body changed into something that could never be imagined. His eyes turned green, he grew a small tail and the most surprising thing was that Leo had sprouted wings.
***
The old mage and his companions by now had already caught on to what was going on. As they were afraid of what Leo might do, one of them strangled a girl.
Enraged Leo with a blink of an eye snapped the person's head off.
The others panicked and started to scream, panic and hide behind the children. With a split second Leo killed every single one of them with his claws.
*** Some time before Leo's transformation;
Dorge with a concerned look on his face.
"Guys where's Leo?"
Ekki replied, "I saw him following some kid saying that he felt something shady"
Not seeing Leo made Dorge feel uneasy as the festival ritual was about to begin with the Dheeme Baja playing the ta khu ta beat.
As he felt shivers from the direction Leo had headed. Dorge informed his father, the head priest of the temple along with the King. Seeing the blue moon the King rushed with Dorge, his father and Zigon, Leo's cousin of the same age as Dorge and Leo; towards the back alley.
***
Back to the present seeing Leo's appearance all the people present there were all horrified.
As Leo's body was out of control, Leo charged towards the King with his claws. The King took out his sword and dueled his own son with both of their lives on the line.
Leo caught the King's sword with his right hand while pulling the King towards him and charging with his left hand. The king with a sour look on his face casted a spell "Astorun ke chains" eight chains suddenly appeared from the ground holding both of Leo's hands and legs.
The King ordered the head priest to seal Leo's power inside him. Dorge and Zigon froze from the petrifying scene. The head priest started to enchant powerful spells with a rudraksha mala in his hands.
After some time Leo's body started to return to its actual form. The king gently held his son in his arms and put him in a cart that had just arrived.
As the King he ordered commanders of the royal guards to handle the situation and make sure that the children reached their homes.
All of them returned to the palace.
Leo started to regain his consciousness. Leo rushed towards the King's waiting area where the King, head priest, Dorge and Zigon were.
Leo with a shocked look on hos face,
"What was that? How did I become that? Was that the real me? Explain father, why are you so silent?"
The king after sometime exclaimed a deep sigh and with his deep and dominating voice
"Being the future king of the Ascales kingdom you sure are very intriguing."
He continues,
"Yes, that was your true form. It's in your blood, son. You are by birth half human and half dragon."
