The Sentry was standing guard watching for anything coming. Towards the wondrous Palace known as Draconis. A Palace Auroara and Arbiter built with their own claws.
“Sire someone approaches. Can you tell what it is. Appears to be a Griffin sir, and he is carrying another one, the one he carries is injured. Let them in. Alright I will let my brother know. Thank you Feth".
Arbiter waited at the front entrance.
"Are you sure about this sire. Any one that would come all this way to help someone can't be too bad. Besides you know what I am capable of. They try anything I'll handle it. Plan and simple. Understood sire".
The doors opened. The injured griffin was hardly breathing.
“Please help my sister. Set her with me", said Auroara.
She is one of many dragons with the ability to heal others. Took about 15 mins to heal her fully. She woke a minute later
"How do you feel?", said her brother
"Fine Undsey. Good. Thank you both so much. It is no problem. What happen? I was attacked by a bunch of leapers."
Leapers? Aren’t they demons. Kye they're supposed to be in the underworld. Kye this is strange.
"Sire", said Feth,"You might want to take a look at this". <
br>
They got to the roof top.
“Well that explains everything".
There was a huge pentagram in the middle of the forest. Demons poured out of the middle of it.
“This cannot be good. Shall we", said Arbiter to Auroara.
“Kye I'm ready when you are. What are you going to do? We're going to try to stop this. What do you think? Just you two what can you do? We are both shadow dragons. We can handle a few lesser demons. Would you like us to come with you? If you want. Just be careful. Don't worry about us. We'll be fine. Alright, let's go".
They engulfed themselves and the two griffins in their shadows and transported to the pentagram. Soon as they got to it they were faced with multiple Leapers.
"Oh how nice a welcoming committee", said Arbiter.
The Leapers attacks. Arbiter grabbed them with his shadow.
“Shadow Crush".
He was now drenched as demon blood rained from the aftermath of Arbiter's attack. Another demon crawled out of the center of the pentagram. It's hands were on fire. It looked at Arbiter, and growled at them. It then brought its hands
together. Making fire stream at them. The two griffins went airborne. Countering with a lightning bolt from their beaks. The demon simply raised a wall of fire to defend itself. Then the wall of fire streamed in every direction. Arbiter and Auroara Covered the griffins and themselves.
“Okay I've had enough of this". Said Auroara. As she swallowed the demon.
“Shadow Blood".
Absolutely nothing was left of the demon. Except for blood stains
“Impressive", said some other creature.
They looked at the creature, “Oh Hell, what now?", said Arbiter.
“Word of the day”, replied the lizard demon, ”You know what’s happening here? Oh you don’t? Kye, that’s why I asked you, I thought the almighty Dragon King, knew everything that was going on. Surly you can’t tell me you haven’t noticed that powerful demonic aura? Kye I feel it. This means...”, he said waiting for Arbiter or Auroara to respond. ”It means that Viscera is coming", said Undsey. “And the Griffin King has the answer. He will rise on the night of the Blood Moon. Why are you telling us this? Are you not a demon yourself? Only half. The other half is reptile right? You are smart. For a moment you lead me to believe you had a rock for a brain. Do me a favor don’t insult my mate. Oh my apologies Queen Auroara. Say that to him not me”.
The lizard demon bowed his head. “Any way I tell you this because I want to prove not all demons are bad. I’m tired of my tribe being seen as evil. Just because we are part demon. So who are you? I am Zork leader of my tribe. I know all four of you. So you don’t need an introduction. And how is it you know us? You think what you did would be unnoticed? We gathered information on almost every race that exists through reptiles, and birds. As well rogues of your two races once and a while. Is this the only reason you’ve come? No. You see there are other tribes. Those who want to prove what we are not; I’m here on their behalf. I want us to unite to take out Viscera. I don’t know”, said Lana. ”You want a good reason as to why? Well I have connections to just about all you need to know when it comes to resources”.
Arbiter and Undsey looked at one another. ”Okay let us unite. Alright. Let’s leave this hostile place. We have to get rid of the pentagram first. You need me first”.
Arbiter sighed, “Okay anyone else wish too join us out here? Silence you idiot. We don’t need to draw attention towards us”.
Arbiter turned to look at who it was. The dragon lord himself. ”Oh sorry my lord”. He said lowering his head, “Raise your scaly head, your embarrassing me. Now do you want to close the portal or not? Kye sir”.
Arbiter unleashed his shadow to break the barrier surrounding. Hundreds of demons poured out. The dragon lord. Raised his palm. From it he fired a red wave of some kind of energy. The wave created a huge ball. Which he smashed into the center of the pentagram. It vanished leaving behind nothing more then blacked dirt.
“That was some power. Well that’s what a dragon lord can do. A? I thought there was only one. No much more then me. There is at least one for every race of dragons. I am the Lord of The Drakes, Arisen. Is there a Lord of All? Kye that would be you. Me? No I’m The Dragon King. Kye which makes you the king of All Dragons. The word ALL does not mean only some. What did you think it meant when you stood before us all? You did not know we were all lords? I knew of them I just did not know what they looked like, so there is no way I could I have known. That would be understandable since we never introduced ourselves to you in the first place. So my Queen here is she with for all this? Kye Always. Dragon mates are together. Through every single thing. Any way enough of this Arbiter. Time to address this problem. These Pentagrams have appeared all over Reach, so here is what I want from you. Go back To Shicken. Ask Raedeke The Shadow Lord to grant you a few Shadow Dragons to help you out. Alright I can manage that. You should be able to. Seeing as how he is your Father. Alright I see you all later”.
Arbiter’s Shadow swallowed him and he was gone. Auroara did the same after him.
Arbiter and Auroara landed in the dark world of Shicken, the red eyes they have help them to see in the darkness. They were heading for the shadow palace. Where Arbiter's father resigns. Two shadow dragons let him in after alerting Raedeke to his presence.
"Arbiter my son. What brings you here after 80 years. Well you see there's a bit of trouble back on Reach. Pentagrams have popped up all over the place. So what do you want me to do about it? Well I was asked by Lord Arisen to gather some Shadow dragons to aid us in this problem. You leave for 80 years with out even letting me know you were alive, and here you show up, completely unannounced asking for a favor. Why should I care if reach is destroyed by hell? Because father it is the work of old Viscera? Okay that changes things a bit. SHINE COME".
A Shadow dragon with a blue underside appeared. A shadow dragon with the blue underside means they've ascended to Pestilence Shadow dragon. A vicious type of dragon with a poisonous shadow.
"Kye sire. Bring ten of the best Pestilence dragons. Kye sir As you wish".
Raedeke then noticed Auroara.
"Ahh and your here too. Doe's this mean what I think? Kye father she is my mate. Any hatchers yet".
This was a question that stunned them for a moment.
"Well to be honest we have not given it much thought. What it has taken till now to think of it. You two really need to get on with it. We'll decide when".
Ten Pestilent shadow dragon appeared in their black purple shadows.
"Alright did Shine inform you as to what you're all doing here? Kye sir. Alright. Arbiter you have ten of the best Dlachons you could ask for. I will join you once Viscera has risen again. As you wish father. I will be one my way. Hold on a moment, before you go there is someone Auroara should see so I must ask you Will you stay for awhile. Kye Lord Raedeke, you go ahead Arbiter I'll catch up with you. Alright I will see you later".
They shared a kiss before they Arbiter left.
Raedeke, took her to her mother.
"Drakanael your daughter is here shall I send her in? Kye if you don't mind. Why is she talking like that. I'm not going to mix words with you, she is dying my young queen. This may be the last you see of her".
Auroara entered the cave. Drakanael laid on her stomach. Slowly she raised her head.
"My dearest daughter? How I have missed you. Mother are you really? Kye Auroara. What Raedeke told you is true".
A tear rolled down Auroara's face.
"It will be alright Auroara. Be strong. How did it come to this. My shadow spirit could not recharge itself on the night of the last Lunar Moon so by this time tomorrow My shadow will die, and I will go with it. Well then I will be by your side. You have to be next to Arbiter my dear. No I wont let you die alone. I appreciate it but the fight is more important. Alright fine. But I wont like it.
He will comfort you in this trust me. I do with my life. I love you mother. I love you too my dear sweet Auroara. Now go Auroara. Alright mother". Auroara cried as she walked to the exit of the cave. Raedeke put his claws on her shoulder. I promise you this Auroara. Your mother will never be forgotten. Thank you Raedeke. Now go to Arbiter. Right". She appeared next to Arbiter. Still crying. Arbiter could tell by looking at her what was wrong, "Auroara. I'm sorry". She wrapped her neck around his. Arbiter raised his huge claw and placed it on her back, "It will be alright". It Auroara cried loudly, "Let it all out my
Laive. I will not leave you. Thank you Arbiter truly".
