--------------------------------—————–??? POV—————————————–-------------------------------------------
I awoke to the tingling sensation of my wards telling of a visitor, I slowly opened my eyes and saw the sleeping form of my daughter perched on her own little hoard she made in the corner of the crèche.
“Sister dear,” I heard Tenabrexa yell from the entrance to my lair, “I have great news!”
“Greater than your niece hatching?” I asked as I lifted my head from my bed of coins curious as to what caught her interest.
“It is as great as my niece hatching!” She squealed as she enter my cavern.
“Do tell sister?” I asked wondering what she got herself into this time.
“Do you remember that during my last visit I came because I thought that I felt my niece hatch? Well it was not her but another mana dragon that hatched. One who was created by the Wheel of Fate ritual, and it’s a boy.” She spewed her story.
“Hold on a second, you found another mana dragon, and it was created using the Wheel of Fate ritual?” I asked with a bit of disbelief.
“Yes.” Tene smiled, “We found a mate for your daughter.”
“Tene,” I calmly spoke with the promise of death lingering in my words, “what did I say about playing matchmaker with other’s children?”
Tene paused for a second as she looked down, “Oh, don’t because I don’t want them to kill each other like the last five times.”
“Good girl, now could you watch your niece while I go meet this dragon?” I asked as I stood up from my bed of coins.
“Sure Tanixa, I would love to get to know my niece.” She enthusiastically replied as she started to move towards the sleeping wyrmling, “Just go towards Gaia’s domain and you should find him there.”
“Bye dear have fun with your aunt,” I shouted and with a flash of light I slipped into one of the interdimensional paths linking the multiverse.
———————————-Fafnir POV———————————————————-
“When are you going to take me home?” Ryan asked.
“I can’t take you home, I’m not that powerful yet.” I replied while I surveyed my lair’s walls trying to figure where I can expand my lair.
“Well then can you at least teach me magic?” Ryan asked looking a little dejected, “I don’t want to be eaten when you’re not around.”
“I could teach you magic, but I barely know how to consciously use it; why don’t you ask Therin?” I replied still staring at the wall.
“I tried but he just looked at me strangely and backed away slowly as if he couldn’t understand me.” Ryan gowned.
“Oh yah, you can’t speak any of the language’s here.” I started to chuckle, “Remind me, when Therin visits, that I need to get you a translation stone.”
“You mean to tell me that those growls and snarls are actually a language?” Ryan exclaimed surprise plastering his face.
“What?” I asked
“Yeah, whenever you talk to that long ear snob I just hear you growl at him and he replies in that flittering elf speech.” Ryan dryly replied.
“Good to know… well when he returns I will see if he can grab you a stone.” I replied as I continued to stare at the stone wall.
Night fell as I measured the thickness of the wall trying to determine if I could safely create a hallway deeper into the cliff face when I heard Azazel.
“Hey Daddy!” she called, “there are a lot of people making loud noise outside and I am trying to sleep.”
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
“People making noise?” I asked myself as I headed towards the front of the cavern. I poked my head over the ledge where a group of twenty demons in full armor were building what looked like a large ladder under the light of the full moons.
“They can’t be that stupid… can they?” I mumbled as I walked back into my lair.
“Who are they Daddy?” Azazel yawned as she entered the main cavern.
“They are silly people who think that they can come b… have dinner without me inviting them.” I replied hoping she didn’t catch that slip up.
“Do they like the blue stuff too?” she asked with a gleam in her eye.
“I don’t think they will like it, now I want you to stay with Ryan for a little bit while I greet our guests.” I replied as I picked Azazel up with my tail and walked into the back of my lair.
“Hey Ryan, could you watch Azazel for a few minutes? I have uninvited guest outside my cavern and need to deal with them.” I said as I set Azazel down in Ryan’s room.
“Hum, sure” he mumbled half asleep.
“Thanks, I’ll be right back.” I said with a wicked grin as I headed back towards my lair’s entrance.
I went to once again look over the ledge at the group of people, and before I even realized what I was doing I let out a loud roar. I saw everyone on the ground below freeze as they looked up at me.
“You have made a poor choice.” I bellowed as I jumped off the ledge.
I could see the terror in their eyes as I hurtled towards the small troop and flared my wings as I let out my draconic breath, bathing everyone below in a blue cloud. Screams filled the quiet forest as my breath melted armor and flesh alike. With a final thud I landed on the forest floor amid the partially dissolved bodies of their troop. I looked around the forest edge and could make out several humanoid forms under the pale light of the moon. The sweet smell of mana mixing with the twang of blood filled my nostrils driving me into frenzy. Before I even knew what was happening, I was sinking my razor sharp fangs into the neck of my next victim, killing him instantly. I snapped my head to look at the foolish creature that dared to try mar my glittering scales, and with a surge of mana the guy burst into a cloud of dust.
“Retreat!” One of the creature yelled as he started to run deeper into the forest. I saw several other forms starting to move amongst the stray beams of moonlight. I tensed my muscles as I leap towards the closest shadow, my fangs sank into his thigh, ripping it apart. I left the poor creature broken as I started to chase down the fleeing survivors.
The first rays of dawn were just breaking through the canopy before I came back to my senses. I blinked a few times as I realized what had happened. I could hear the faint moans of the dying creatures that had dared to attack me.
“Why would they try to attack me?” I asked myself as I surveyed the bloody scene around. I loped over to one of the moaning demons and looked into his fearful face.
“Why did you attack me?” I growled at the bleeding demon, anger once again raging at the edges of my mind.
“You killed our leader, you vile beast.” he spat between clenched teeth, “You deserve to die.”
I stared at the dying demon before I burst out laughing, “i didn’t kill your leader, I adopted her you moron” and left him there to his fate. I leaped into the sky and scoffed at their foolishness as I headed back to my lair.
