To where a dwindling light forest, a golden light sparks the ground.

"Where are we?" Sei called.

"This is not the place! Don't tell me someone must have had disrupted my magic!" Sheila gasp somewhat in panic.

It was a familiar place they can tell; their sense tells them there are in danger, the danger of what's ahead of them. Even more so Akatosh is still in recovery grips the grass fighting the unholy presence inside.

Chifya with keen magic and a good sense of nature notices a plant, an exceedingly rare type of plant which can only be found near the drake's lair. She gasps upon seeing the plant she called to them.

"We have to hide!" Chifya shout.

"What?" Riya replies

"There's no time! We must--"

Before Sheila could finish her sentence, a loud growl followed by a crashing sound of trees spook at them. A red-eyed light the dark, coming in haste running but this was not the cause of the crashing sound. A large wolf sprung to them running for something, afraid of what's coming until the great wolf vanishes through the dark.

"Quickly we need to run!" Chifya called to them.

"Right!" They all respond except Akatosh.

Reith went to where Akatosh but what he felt to him was even more daring. He could still feel the power surging through his body.

"Leave me," Akatosh said trying to make out a word.

"But--"

"I said go!!!" Akatosh shouts in a devilish tone.

Chifya enrages by Akatosh's words went to him. Trying to give him regain his composure but before she could get closed to him a dark omens her. Clutching her teeth ignoring the unholy aura she closes her distance. Grabbing his shoulder when suddenly she felt heavy, she felt the presence of death himself.

In Akatosh's struggle to fight what inside, a word again spoke to him a peal of dark laughter. "Trying to wrestle me boy! … Do you know what's coming? Either way, it ends the same."

"And who decided that?" Akatosh responds.

The evil from within laughs. "Can't handle a slight dark, mm-hmm... can't handle a blessing"

A swoosh of powerful air sweeps through to them breaking the trees enough to blow the party away. For Akatosh however, the powerful air was but a mere breeze to him stuck in agony. The situation broods.

As the air slowly begins to calm, the large beast suddenly went nothing to a fire breathing.

"Protection!" Sheila cast a shield, the same goes with Chifya conjuring large roots for the unheeding flames.

"GRRRRR…" The beast roars. "I sense thee…." The beast could speak. "I sense your magic."

It was the beast of the 'Wooden Valley', near the borders of Ahgraim and Keshoval. The beast held tyrant of the place, a drake so to speak.

As the monster crawls, the ground trembles, trees fell allowing the lizard for a path to walk. The flames light the whole darkness enough for the monster to be seen. It wasn't a full-grown dragon, but its size was enough to scare a living. A dark and perpetual monster as its wing desolates the trees.

"Graahhhh… Who dares come to this place?" The drake says as it transforms into a being, a human being.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

"We… we've come here through accident someone must have disrupted our teleportation," Sheila says nervously begging for the drake.

"Lies! I will not be led by a mere mortal in hopes of retrieving what I hold."

"No… We mere wish to escape from this forest." Sheila responds.

"I've heard that many times! And I will not be swayed again… Grahhhhh!" The drake in human form lashes out a powerful fire."

"NOOO!" Chifya exclaimed.

While in the dark the thing had enough. "Pathetic, I had enough of this!"

A loud and powerful four lightning simultaneously strikes the land once again, Akatosh was yet again swooped by the curse living inside. The wind intensifies as Akatosh stands ready for a brawl. Before the fire could engulf the party, powerful wind voids the fire disintegrating into thin air.

The thunder horn itself is in the sky as the kingdom of Keshoval begins to wonder in shock by the astounding cracking thunder. Lightning could be seen at the Wooden Valley hammering the forest. Ashalain who's still living at Keshoval felt the unsettling wind and the lightning that continuously strikes where the drake lives. Atop the castle, the king and his associates could see the black clouds spanning itself in radius as lightning begins to fill the green land. Even the kingdom Ahgraim too, felt the wrath of the pale horseman.

The mighty drake finally felt a tremor within his heart. Wind erupts at the center of Akatosh throwing his comrades and parties in different directions leaving only the drake left standing. In the blink of an eye, Akatosh suddenly faces the drake in a human form ready for an instant kill.

By the time Akatosh blinks a bolt of distant lightning follows giving a tremendous force enough to send the drake half a kilometer away from the forest.

"GRRRRAAAAWWWWWRRRR!!!!" The drake roar now but in his full form, flying towards Akatosh enrage for what he had done. And as he flaps its wings in midair, a fire rages his mouth sending lava-like flames burning the forest. Yet Akatosh didn't care as he went towards the fire with full speed even tanking without fearing its effect. Lightning bends by his will traversing in curve form sending to the beast.

Shook the lightning hit as the drake cried in roaring sound. Its roar was so powerful reaching as far as Keshoval and Ravalind for the people to hear the intense fight. Far away the king and people even Ashalain herself could witness a far distance as one man and a drake maliciously doing their things. They felt tremor within their heart as the drake sends powerful flames casting magic to fully harden its skin. Yet somehow Akatosh without mercy rampantly throws a lightning bolt in every direction. Worst, the lightning and thunder became more aggressive striking the land in full force. Somehow Sheila and the others again manage to recover escaping to a safe place for them to teleport.

Upon teleportation, without a second warning, Akatosh sends powerful electricity crawling towards Ravalind miles away at an astounding speed. And before the powerful electricity hit Ravalind sorceress, mage, wizard, the young priestess even Roland and his party together creates a powerful barrier to hold what was coming.

And with their combined force they were able to withstand the large electricity like a tsunami. Most of them used their full strength yet the young priestess and Roland still holds some of their magic and stamina.

They all watch the drake being strike by lighting, as its horns tattered into pieces. His skin burns to a crisp. With a final attack, Akatosh unleashes an enormous armored spirit as Akatosh's hand sway, so too the spirit follows.

Its strike at lightning speed cutting the drakes leftwing. And when it falls to the ground about a thousand feet from the air. The sky was crying in full rage as Akatosh didn't let it end where he draws upon a large bow aligning to the fallen drake. Even the half spirit form creates a lightning arrow.

The sound it came and the force it carried blast the falling lizard. Except somehow the lizard manages to use its other wings for cover but all was lost as the drake burns by the astonishing white arrow.

With the fall of the tyrant Akatosh in his unstable form teleport at mere seconds. Its landing close to the kingdom of Ahgraim gave a cataclysmic effect desolating the ground. Blink for a second and Akatosh again disappeared and appeared at every random land deforming the landscape hitting everything at its path. While he traverses to every place lightning strikes where he lands.

The people living at a highland place or buildings by their very eyes witness the lightning that once strikes at one place now but at every corner of the land. At one last land near Keshoval the bag he still carries suddenly shines revealing an angle as she wraps her arms around his neck dissipating the storm. Her wings cloak Akatosh at full scale sealing the first.

The warmth he felt on his back gave flourishing serenity. With a paralyzed hand, all Akatosh could do was but kneel absorbing the warmth like fire traversing at his body.

He felt tired, he felt dizziness, and not long after slumber overcomes him. Eyes slowly close in deep dark slumber.

An hour had passed the black clouds slowly starts to erase. Scouts and search parties were sent to the land investigating what had happened.

Long after the search had started someone, a knight of Keshoval spot a man lying on a puddle of mud.

"I've found someone!" He cried to his comrades.
