Chapter 2 – Birth

The land of Yer.

It has many mysteries.

Like how it originated?

Where its people came from?

How many races living on it?

How large is it?

And endlessly many more.

But one thing is certain.

It is ruled by powerful beings, no matter their race.

The races which walk on this planet are varied but some still not discovered, scattered all over the vast planet.

Races include Celestials, Deities, Humanoids, Monsters, Spirits, and many more. 

The most powerful race among them is Dragoons.

They are the descendents of the almighty dragon race.

Their existence is unquestionable.

Proof of their reign over this planet is all over the Yer.

But the Dragon abandoned this planet to travel around the multiverse, quenching their thirsts.

They are evolved form of their Ancestors, but smaller in size acquired humanoid form, but keeping their long life span, power & intelligence.

They rule vast majority of the populated area on the Planet Yer.

Other areas are under rule of different races.

This planet contains many secrets.

The use of science and magic is common but not in the past.

Proof of more mysterious things can from the ancient ruins left behind by the people of Old.

After discovery of the ancient ruins, things begin to change.

In the depths of the ruins, legacy of the ancient civilization is found.

They are known as Monoliths.

These monoliths were very powerful, and the material of their making is not found anywhere on this planet.

They poses vast amount of unknown energy, and more advance ancient technology.

Some of them are still in research, but some of the technology is used by sentinents of this planet.

Some used this for prosperity of the people and some used it for spreading despair.

The unknown secrets these monoliths contain is still a matter of argument.

Emperors Drago POV:

--- The Dragoon Empire “Dragua”.

--- The Capital City “Balaur”.

--- Underground Research facility, Main Dogma Centre.

Walking towards the main hall, I started to ponder about the things which transpired in these past few months.

“I always wonder what will happen to us when all of this came to an end. But we still try to live like there is no other tomorrow. I have to fulfill my duties as Emperor as well as husband. My dear Dria, I really miss you sweet voice, your warm touch, your strict preaching & your gentle consoling”.

Reaching to the main containment unit, I Looked at the most beautiful creation of the entire multiverse softly floating in the large cultivation pod.

My precious half, my wife, Drakania. All the people close to her calls her Dria.

“Please, wake up”.

Noticing me near the cultivation pod, current incharge of this facility & our close friend, Minerva, walks towards me.

She is very intelligent incomparable to every scholar in the entire Yer.

She is the descendant of an ancient race just like us. But her race is far more mysterious, Phoenix.

They are known to be immortal. But this legend still not yet had proven.

“Drago, how are you today?”

She looks me into the eyes. Trying to see what I try to hide.

“I am doing fine, Mina. Just waiting for her to wake up.” [Drago]

“Is Rakia still at the Academy?” [Mina]

“Yes, she is still 5 and I think she is better with her friends than in this depressing environment.” [Drago]

“You still sulking all this time, didn’t you? You are still not good at these things all these year, huh.” [Mina]

“You don’t have to ask if you know everything.” [Drago]

“I know, just trying to make conversation to the grumpy & lonely man”. [Mina]

“Enough with the insults and tell me what are today’s observation report”. [Drago]

“Same as always, but…” [Mina]

“But what?” [Drago]

“We found some anomaly in today’s regular check up.”[Mina]

“What kind of anomaly.” [Drago]

“The stasis condition of your child in Dria womb has become active this morning.” [Mina]

“WHAT?” [Drago]

“Calm down, we still analyzing the data and running simulation to determine the cause.” [Mina]

This statement rendered me speechless.

Mina keeps talking about the situational change indifferently, but her eyes show hope.

The hope we all had lost long ago.

It all started with that meteorite which landed in our courtyard.

Dria was the real in-charge of this facility until she falls asleep in statis condition after coming in contact with that unknown meteorite along with my unborn child.

She was two month pregnant at that time. The light of life just started burning in her womb.

I tried to let her rest till her delivery but she more prone to research than taking care of her health.

When I remembering the day when my suffering started.

Maximum priority alarm rang loudly.

Ghoooong…..ghoooong….. ghoooong….. ghoooong….. ghoooong….. ghoooong….. ghoooong…..

“What the hell happen, John” [Mina]

Mina shouted anxiously onto the communicator.

“We are having a code red situation here, Boss.”[John]

“Give me the exact details.”[Mina]

“The meteorite gives of every kind of energy we can think of, as well as unknown types. It is reacting to something.”[John]

“What is the reason for all of this?” [Mina]

“Our system running analysis & simulations, but result is always the same.” [John]

“Stop wasting time & tell me now, John.” [Mina]

“The results of all these analysis are Our Queen, to be precise, it’s the child.” [John]

“Stop sprouting nonsense. We are observing her right now…” [Mina]

As we turn to look at Dria, she was glowing covered in pale light.

“What the hell happening here, Mina.” [Drago]

“I am trying to find out exactly the same thing, so shut the hell up for a second.” [Mina]

Mina desperately operating the control tab, trying to find out the reason.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

As the light covering Dria grows stronger the cultivation pod shows sign of breaking.

The cracks emerging all around it.

After the light intensified, we have to cover our eyes from this blinding light.

After a moment humming can be heard from the cultivation pod.

Aaaoooohhhhuuummmmmmm………………

As the humming increasing, suddenly intense pressure can be felt in the surrounding area, pushing us onto our knees.

The creaking sound from the cultivation pod also increases.

Not be able to withstand the sheer amount of pressure the cultivation pod break as a shockwave kind of pulse emerging from it.

The pulse can be feels deep into our souls making it shudder.

The pulse can be felt all around the Empire that day.

Making people trembled to their core.

After the light subsided, we open our eyes to find my wife sleeping peacefully on the floor, safe & secure.

Seeing her like that my heart become peaceful again.

I tried to touch her, but my extended hand grabbed by Mina.

“Mina, what are doing?” [Drago]

“Sorry, I know you are happy to see her sleeping peacefully, but we have to take precaution. You understand this, right?” [Mina]

I pondered for a while, knighting my eyebrows.

Seeing my behaving like a child, Mina let out a chuckle and flicks me on my forehead.

“Calm down you big baby, she is like my sister, I love & cares for her more than you do.” [Mina]

After hearing her say that, I stop pondering.

“But, please let me stay with her.” [Drago]

“Ok, but under my conditions.” [Mina]

After that we called the medics.

They gently put her in the bed of the medical facility with advance machinery.

24-hours monitoring assign to the most talented staffs.

The chaos gradually calms down and Dria’s condition is also stabilizes.

Seven months passes normally.

Dria didn’t wake up for first two months but the child in her womb continuous to mature.

After she woke up we all sigh in relief.

Whole empire celebrates the awakening of their beloved Queen.

Celebration held for a week but the happiness of the people keeps it for a month.

Now the time for her delivery is on the clock.

Medics keep watching her 24 hours, monitoring her & our child’s condition.

My Daughter Rakia came to visit whenever she got time from the Academy.

______________________________________________________________

--- Royal Chamber

Finally, time for another celebration is around the clock.

All the empire is nervous about their Queen’s delivery.

Anxiousness can be felt around the whole Empire.

Praying to whatever they believe in to make the delivery safe.

I was holding Dria’s hand, trying to calm her down.

Encouraging her to do her best.

“Hang in their Dria, you can do it.” [Drago]

“I am trying.”[Dria]

“Dria, breath properly like I told you.” [Mina]

“Dria, Push.” [Drago]

“What do hell do you think I was doing here?” [Dria]

She shouted on me gripping my hand hard enough to break.

But this is all I can do for her.

Seeing her face covered in sweat. I started to feel anxious.

“Dria, we almost there, one last push.” [Mina]

Hhnnnmmmmmggggg………

For the last push Dria pull all her strength, pushing the baby out and almost breaking my hand, which make her faint from exhaustion.

Uuuwwaaaahhhnnnn………. Uuuwwaaaahhhnnnn………. Uuuwwaaaahhhnnnn……….

The cry of the new born baby echoes throughout the castle.

“Congratulation, it’s a healthy boy, Drago.” [Mina]

“Our Son.” [Drago]

Seeing our little son’s face gives me feeling of relief.

A single tear fall down from eyes, following that I started shedding tear like a broken dam.

Seeing this everyone can only look at me with a wry smile.

Mina leaks a heavy sigh after looking at me like that.

“Can I hold him?” [Drago]

“Of course you can, you are his father. Until then I check up on Dria” [Mina]

Mina handed me my son and goes to Dria’s side.

I tried to very carefully holding him like he is very fragile.

His sleeping face looking more precious to me than any other thing in they all Yer.

He woke up after a few moments in my arms and started staring at me.

He resembles Dria but his fiery red eyes are the mark of our Royal family. Looking at his face I smile like an idiot.

No one utter a single word, trying not to disturb the serine serene scenery.

“Drago?” [Dria]

Dria’s voice makes me come back to my senses.

“Dear, are you alright?” [Drago]

I ask her looking at her pale beautiful face anxiously.

“She is alright, just fatigued.” [Mina]

Dria nodded at Mina’s words.

I sit down near her giving her our son to hold.

“Did you think of a name for him?” [Drago]

“Yes, it came to me when I was asleep before.” [Dria]

"When were you in cultivation pod?"[Mina]

"Yes, but after seeing his fiery red eyes and adorable smile I think our Great-grandfather's name suit him better, don't you think so, Drago?" [Dria]

"Yes, I also think that Great-grandfather's name suit him better. He will become strongest and brightest of them all, just like great-grandfather was." [Drago]

"From today’s onwards your name will be Ddraig. Victoria, announce our son's birth & name to our people. And inform Rakia as well." [Dria]

"As you wish, Her Majesty." [Victoria]

The royal maid Victoria, she is from beast race, Shadow Wolf. She is my wife trusted aid.

As she heads out to announce the great news, we settle ourselves in our seats.

After few moments a loud cheers of excitement resounded making the whole castle tremble.

Hearing that we all started laughing, making this moment memorable, whole Empire celebrated for whole month again.

Seeing my son’s adorable face, I can only hope for a better tomorrow.
