《ABOMINATION》


 Peace Never Last

    It was a day like no other. The sun was shining bright, casting a golden glow on the world below. The view was breathtaking, a giant lake nestled at the foot of the tallest mountain on the planet, with a waterfall cascading down from an incredible 5125m height.


    The water was crystal clear, allowing one to see the vibrant life at the bottom of the lake. The water was also incredibly flavorful, invigorating the senses and giving energy to even the most tired of individuals.


    In the middle of the lake, there is an island, home to a tree that reached an astonishing 2000m in height. The branches of the tree were wide and bountiful, spanning an impressive 1000m outward. The massive field around the island was filled with wonderful plants and life, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere.


    The trees surrounding the open area are also towering high and give off a jungle-like vibe, while the sounds of all the surrounding life filled the air and the wind carried it through the extraordinary location. It was a place where one could truly find tranquility and escape the stress of life in this universe.


    This once peaceful land is now a war-torn battlefield, with blood and destruction as far as the eye could see. The clashing of swords, the deafening explosions, and the cries of agony are a constant symphony of death and despair. The sky was a chaotic mix of lightning, smoke, fire, ice, and water, as if the very elements themselves were taking part in the devastating conflict.


    This conflict will be etched in universal history as the universes will never be the same.


    This battle was completely one-sided at the start of the battle it was one million two hundred and fifty thousand to one. That single individual is butchering hundreds of thousands of beings in this fight¡­.


    The beings in this tremendous army are from two factions, one is the Divine light faction led by a Seraphim Angel, followed by 500 hundred lower angels. The other is the Dark Demonic faction, led by a Darkling, with seven hundred and fifty thousand lower demons.


    All arrived here to massacre this one being, no definitely not a being in their eyes a catalyst of change to the order that has existed for millions of years.


    ...20 minutes prior, someone sits in solitude under a towering tree on an island, deeply meditating. This someones striking good looks draws the gazes of many, with both women blushing and men feeling envious of their beauty. Before sitting they removed a full-face mask, boots, and black robe in order to fully connect with nature, as they sought to deepen their understanding of its laws. Breathing steadily, with closed eyes, fully immersed in this practice of comprehending.


    This someones name is Damian¡­.


    In that moment, he abruptly opened his eyes, revealing bright silver pupils with a distinct purple hexagonal iris. Surveying around the place, he takes in the picturesque scenery and the delightful aroma that fills the air.


    Damian couldn''t believe it, "My earth power has increased by 1% after just two days here. This place is truly extraordinary. And that''s not all, my soul comprehension has also risen. I''m so close to reaching my goal!"


    Someone talks, let''s call them S: "Shut up you idiot, you wouldn''t even have thought to comprehend here if I didn''t tell you to sleep here"


    Damien:"You are such an ass, always finding ways to ruin a wonderful moment. You should be awarded for your impeccable timing, it''s always spot on and incredibly frustrating."


    S chuckled, " HAHAHA...Thank you I try my best, I''ll make sure to request it in black... But seriously, you''re dehydrated. Go drink some water from the lake, it will replenish your body."


    Damian rose to his feet, extending his arms high into the sky before bending backwards, eliciting a series of satisfying pops and cracks as he stretches out his muscles. He then slipped on his boots and robe, and made his way towards the marvelous lake water. Cupping his hands, he submerged them into the lake and brought them to his lips, taking a long, refreshing sip.


    Damian lets out a contented sigh, "This water is delicious... I can''t believe how blessed it is. I feel fantastic now.", starts flexing his hands


    S brags, "I told you, I am super wise. Listen to me more and tremendous things will happen. I am all you need."


    Damian face changes to a very unpleasing one, "If I listened to you more, I would be..."


    S interrupts him, "Damian, I sense a powerful energy gathering in the field area in front of us."


    Damian''s attention is quickly drawn to something in the distance, his eyes focusing on it intently.


    "I can feel the disturbance too. Any ideas about what...or better yet, who!!!, might be causing it?" Damian asked.


    S lets out a sinister laugh, "No idea, I''m always in the dark. Hahaha..." He then begins to fade away.


    Damian scowled, "Here I thought you were super wise. Regardless, can I count on you and L for help?" He tightened his grip on the two short swords that are on his hip


    S snorted, "Tsk... Tsk."


    A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.


    L remains silent.


    In the distance a massive energy ball starts expanding, becoming bigger with each passing second. All beasts in the vicinity scatter in all directions.


    Damian retreated to his meditating spot, knowing that running would be futile. After 5 minutes of expanding to (120m) in diameter a monumental blinding light erupts for a few seconds...not once does Damian shut his eyes as he stares at the absurd view in front of him, thousands¡­ no, a million, of soldiers standing in front of him, ones he''s only ever read and heard about.


    An army of angelic and demonic now stands before him, their expressions varies - some showing disgust, others anger, and yet still others lust in their eyes. The demons are grinning wickedly, licking their lips in anticipation of the fight. The angels, meanwhile, look super furious, their eyes filled with so much anger and hate.


    Damian, on the other hand, simply gazed at the army of two different factions with a neutral expression.


    S exclaimed, "What the hell did you do? I told you not to meditate here... Haha."


    Damian rolled his eyes before yelling out, "Well, this is certainly a surprise... Hello, everyone! I''m positive that I''ve never picked a fight or offended the Divine and Demonic races in my lifetime." He raised his hand and waved at the army as they watched him


    Two powerful entities slowly fly forward, one dressed in full white and red armour, with four massive wings spread out in all their glory. The wing feathers were bright white with a red tinge to them. The other was clad entirely in black, with two wings made of darkness that looked like long, smoky black shadows. But if touched, they felt hard and seemed to try and pull you into the abyss.


    The power radiating from them was so overwhelming that the ground shook and cracked with each flap of their wings. The air had completely stopped blowing and the water started to ripple as they glided over it. Everything was deathly quiet and the army behind them were shaking to their core.


    But...Damian simply stood still and gazed, thinking where in his journey he might have gone wrong to cause this butterfly effect. Once they arrived in front of him, they landed by the water''s edge. So now was not the right time to reflect on the past mistakes.


    The one dressed in all white spoke in a voice that was melodic and sweet to men ears, "Are you, Damian?"


    She is dressed in white armor that radiates a powerful aura of pure light and a little red mixed in it. Her eyes are white with bright red irises and pupils to match. Floating on her back is a white ring also know as a halo, formed by pure light. On the outer rim of the halo is four feather-shaped spikes, that have a tinge of red like her wings.


    "Ah...No, I''m not," Damian replied, trying to weasel his way out of the situation.


    The taller, dark-clad one makes a tsk sound, "This little fuck, we know you are Damian. We''ve been searching for you and tracking your ugly description for ages now. You''ve been a real pain in the ass," His multiple horns on his head tilt in annoyance.


    He wares a chest plate that extends to the abdomen, adorned with spikes and sixteen protruding claws. In the center of his chest is the symbol of the Dark faction, emblazoned in grey and black. His shin guards also have small spikes and feature a pattern of rings and a line through them. Damian closely observes him


    "Language, please, in my presence," the woman glares at the dark one


    S sneers, "Who does this angelic and super hot woman think she is, a saint here to kill fucken hypocrite."


    "Then why did you ask a stupid question if you already knew who I am?" Damian retorts back at him


    The all-black one stares with his void black eyes like an abyss and releases a small dark wave of energy: "Why you little sh¡­.". His black robe floating down to the ground and evaporating into shadows moves. Damian doesn''t flinch at all when he does this...


    "Let''s focus on the task at hand," she interjected firmly, brandishing a twin-headed axe in the shape of wings. "I''m Gabriel (Axe of light), leader of the divine force of five hundred strong, and I believe it is only fitting for a warrior to know the name of the one who may put them to rest."


    S:" She doesn''t say, wonder why such a title choice. This also isn''t looking good at all¡­..!!!!!"


    The male refutes her claims: "Fucken unholy¡­.strong you wish, the great Necro (Blades of Darkness)". As Damian looks at his body filled with spikes all over it. "I could handle this thing like child''s play my seven hundred and fifty thousand, can also sit back and observe how a true Absolute being fights"


    S: "Wow, your title should be Damian, (Totally Fucked), because that''s what you are,"


    Gabriel gives him a death stare that sends a shiver down Necro''s spine¡­..but it isn''t a shiver supplied with fear it''s one of excitement if Gabriel is to attack him how much pleasure he will have¡­.


    Gabriel shot Necro a death stare, but it was clear that the male was not intimidated by her instead begging for that fight which she could see. "Enough with this bickering," she said, her wings and axe blades glowing red with divine energy. "Our gods have commanded us to exorcise this malevolent force, and that is what we will do. Necro, why don''t you focus on our task instead of trying to play with me?"


    Necro laughed wickedly. "Hahaha, you''re right for once. I can hardly disbelieve it. But tell me, why did they send us to handle this? Look at him, he''s nothing but a bug...no, even bugs are stronger than him."


    "Tells this old fuck I will show him who''s bug shit then," growled S not happy


    Gabriel stepped forward, her gaze cold and calculating. "Same reason you looked at me like a toy, those juniors and...mons...hmm...other things look at each other as well. They wanna fight and not do what is ordered of them, what is required of them. Instead, they''re itching to settle old debts." She lifted her hand, waving and pointing around.


    Necro let out a wicked laugh. "Hahaha, you know what? Another ring...you''re right for once, can you disbelieve it?" He touches his armor guards with the pattern on.


    This time, Gabriel looks at Necro, her eyes turning a bright red as her four wings turned redder, and her axe blades glow with a divine energy. A powerful wave of energy is released from her, making the ground shake beneath them.


    "Hahahahahaha too easy, you ringed are so predictable," Necro sneered, his eyes gleaming with a wicked hunger as he gazed at her, wishing he could play with her and claim her ring for a new marking on his armor.


    Damian stood there like he was witnessing a drama show play out. Not knowing when the action is gonna start, and he can sit back and relax.


    He wished they would fight it out and poof, problem solved. But he knows that wouldn''t be the case, and he couldn''t help but feel a sense of dread as the tension between Necro and Gabriel reached a boiling point.


    "Listen, I say why don''t you guys vent it out a little?" Damian suggests, his hands held out in front of him. "I''m not going anywhere. I mean, you all are holding onto some grudges with each other, so like an acquaintance says ''Got a problem with someone, fight and hash out your differences''...sooooo why don''t you all go a few rounds? I won''t complain."


    Necro sneered, his eyes locked onto Damian. "Aren''t you the little cunning snake in the garden... I kinda like it. You think adding fuel to a fire will make it burn more?....'' he scoffs''...what do you take us for? We are Absolute Beings, mere children definitely can''t detour us from the orders we received and you won''t for sure."


    Damien quips back "Well you can''t fault someone for attempting, was worth a shot I rate "


    Gabriel shakes her head in frustration. "That''s enough, Damian. We are the most powerful ones here, and we will not be swayed from our mission. Let''s head back and give the order to attack. Are you ready, Damian?"


    Damian looks at her then to the army behind her filling the entire vicinity, ''exhales'', and looks back into her red eyes:" If I say no would you be kind enough for a rescheduled, like let''s say ¡­.''acts out counting''¡­twenty million years seems fair right?"


    Necro laughs again. "Hahaha, I wish things were different, kid. You''re really growing on me."


    "Eww, no thanks. I''ll pass," Damian said, winking at Gabriel. "But you, on the other hand..."


    Gabriel blushes and smiles behind her helmet, caught in Damian''s gorgeous looks, she is a little mesmerized by them. Her helmet has wings shaped upward on either front side, and in the middle, a diamond crown arch.


    Necro grabs his weapon in his hands, it is a 2.4m long spear. The bottom of the spear is shaped like a small Fulham, and on the other side is a small sharp dagger. The spear body is cylindrical, Just before the spear blade tip, there is a ring that one can see through it from the side.


    Necro starts to charge it for a swing at Damian in anger since he disrespected him...


    "Enough Necro, not now, you will get your chance. Let them go first, that''s the order, and you know it," Gabriel''s voice echoed her tone stern.


    Necro vanishes so quickly that the army can''t keep up with where he went. But Damian looks at the back of the army as Necro reappears, his anger evident as he swings his spear in an arc away from the army, destroying hundreds of trees and damaging a mountain. In his rage, he killed so many beasts that were hiding.


    "You got guts kid, I''ll grant you that, but stupidity will get you killed quickly," Gabriel''s voice comes from the side, and she vanishes as well... "Really look at the destruction you have caused. This will take years to recuperate."


    Necro sneers, "Do I look like the type of existence to give a shit?" He glares at Damian in the distance, picturing killing him in the cruelest ways possible.


    .....


    Damian put on his mask and whispers, "Why delay death? Running gets you nothing more but another breath rather than just facing the inevitable."

 Army Attacks

    As Gabriel berates Necro, he sneers and stabs the bottom of his spear into the ground.


    Gabriel then says:" You ready to give the order now?¡­.because they won''t listen to me ", then he gives a fierce shout...


    "Listen up, all of you filthy fucken rejects of the lower order," the leader sneers, his eyes scanning the crowd of cowering soldiers. "You will obey Gabriel''s commands, or I''ll kill you, your family, and the whore you fucked last if you disobey her."


    He glances over at Gabriel. "They''re all yours to deal with, Gabriel. Even if you tell them to kill themselves, they''ll follow through. Otherwise, demise awaits them either way."


    Gabriel watches in disbelief as Necro sits back down beside his spear, the lower demons trembling in fear.


    She knows that she has to follow the commands of her God, even if it means working alongside Necro and his monstrous underlings. She takes a deep breath and soars into the air, her voice ringing out across the battlefield. "We are not here for revenge or petty squabbles," she declares. "We are here for one purpose, and that is to defeat that thing!". She points at Damian


    Damian smiles, then looks behind him as if searching for someone else. "You there, hiding in the shadows," he calls out. "I would run if I were you. This doesn''t look good."


    S: "Damian, this isn''t a time for jokes, but a nice one" a voice sneers. "It''s time to have some fun hahahaha"


    As Damian grips his dual short swords tightly, he looks back and sighs. "Thanks," he says. "I know, but why not joke a little before death?"


    The armies, both angels and demons, stare at Damian in shock and disbelief. They can''t believe that he''s still cracking jokes at a time like this. But as the demons start to unleash their dark energy and the angels release their divine energy, Gabriel knows she must act quickly.


    "Ground angels and soldier demons, to the front on the ground," Gabriel commands. "Ranged users, take to the air with the higher angels and higher demons. Ranged users, fire everything you''ve got first then ground troops advance after ranged attacks land and the target is still standing. Don''t fight each other for supremacy. Higher angels and higher demons, stay back and wait for my signal to fight."


    Necro sneers to himself, thinking that the angels always have a battle strategy and formation, but they never work when chaos enters the fold. But Gabriel continues, "Now, can everyone get into formation and prepare to attack? That''s an order."


    All the warriors take their positions, with the ground troops forming a semi-circle shape and the ranged fighters hovering just above them, charging their attacks. The higher angels, numbering 20, and the higher demons, numbering 31, are at the back of them.


    Damian watches in silence as the armies work together seamlessly to get into position. He wonders to himself how long this peacefulness will last before the real fighting begins.


    S says, "Those foot soldiers are not a problem. Just have to dodge their weapons and block. Their metal armour has longer durability than your armour and they underestimate you with the ones they brought. We can help you with the Absolute Beings when the need arises, but it''s gonna be difficult. You can''t kill them as you are now, especially those two."


    Damian nods his head and tightens his grip on his swords. "Thank you for the help," he says.


    L chimes in, "Don''t thank us just yet. Remove your restriction bracelets. This is gonna be a hard fight and you will need everything. Those Absolute Beings are on another level, but we have an advantage. They have power restrictions. I agree with S, it is achievable if you listen to my every order." Damian readies himself to do as he''s told.


    "L, good to hear your voice in this fight. I''m in your hands when it comes to fighting. No better strategist," Damian says.


    S scoffs, "WTF, I''m right here you know. Plus I say we just run straight at them sword swinging and heads rolling."


    Damian remains silent as L continues, "Ahh, Damian when they launch the range attacks, they''re all gonna be blinded. Appear behind the Higher Angels and Higher demons and take as many wings close to the spine and heads as you can so they fall. Their armour is light."


    S:" Are you insane? The two Absolute are right behind them. They won''t stand idly by."


    Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.


    Damian:" Umm¡­ L, are you sure about this?"


    L:" Trust me, I have a plan."


    Damian curses his luck as he grips his swords tightly and prepares to quickly appear behind the enemy lines.


    Gabriel bellows, "Prepare... Range fighters, attack!"


    In an instant, a storm of dark and light arrows, fireballs, spears, poison darts, flying blades, ice spears, and balls of energy are launched at Damian. The ground shakes and flames engulf the area for 500 meters as the lake water boils and evaporates in an instant.


    With a deafening KABOOOOOOOOOOOM, Damian''s body was reduced to atoms as dark energy clashed with light. The ground shook violently, flames engulfed the area within a radius of 500m, and the lake water boiled rapidly, evaporating in a matter of minutes. A giant crater, 20m deep, was left in the wake of the explosion, and the trees surrounding the lake were left damaged and ablaze.


    The once picturesque landscape was now a barren wasteland, with only the sound of the waterfall trying to fill the void left by the destruction.


    The Soldier''s demons erupted into maniacal laughter, most clapping and taunting, "He didn''t even move," "Talks big but freezes," and "What a joke."


    The Angels were visibly irritated, muttering among themselves, "Really, what a waste of time," "Why did we even come," and "What a beautiful place destroyed."


    Necro, standing off to the side, spoke in a low, ominous tone, "Idiots, dropping your defence... don''t you even realize?"


    Gabriel, watching from a distance, thought to herself, "You younger generation don''t know how to fight... why were we ordered to stand back and watch this? My Supreme Light!!! I''ll step in when the numbers drop below half. I can''t watch innocent lights fade."


    She mind-linked with Necro, "I know you won''t do anything even if they all die, but will you help me when they go down by half?"


    Necro looked up and let out a wicked laugh before nodding in agreement.


    Just as the explosion had subsided and the army is still laughing and complaining among themselves, loud, pained screams filled the air.


    All the demons and angels stopped in their tracks and looked back to see 21 Higher Demons and 12 Higher Angels falling to the ground. 20 Higher Demons were dead, 1 was gravely injured, and 7 Higher Angels were killed, with the rest sustaining injuries to their wings or spine.


    All the warriors were startled, wondering how this had happened. They had seen the attack land, his body even disintegrated, yet how had he managed to get behind them and take out so many higher beings in a matter of minutes without them noticing?


    With a fierce yell, L commanded, "Damian, move! Don''t stop! Jump into the middle of the ground soldiers. The ranged fighters won''t be able to attack you fully then."


    Without hesitation, Damian followed orders, slicing through the lower warriors with precision, aiming for their heads to ensure death.


    L continued to give instructions, "Damian, cast a lightning net, making the rest of the higher soldiers, also ranged ones, dazed and fall on the lower ones."


    With a fierce determination, Damian channeled all the static in the air from the explosion earlier, looking towards the ones still in the air, and cast a net spanning 50m by 50m, sending it hurtling downwards.


    All the angels with earth powers saw the net and cast protection spells, while the demons with fire powers coated their bodies to protect themselves from the incoming net. Damian also coated his body in lightning to protect himself from the electric shock.


    ''Cracks... BANG...'' Bright flashes filled the area as most screamed, and burnt, limbs fell, blood sprayed everywhere, and some lay on the ground convulsing, unable to move.


    Gabriel spoke in a low voice, "Why are none of you working together? You''re all trying to get recognition. The ones with protection abilities aren''t shielding the others that can''t. They''re even killing each other in this madness." Gabriel closed her bright red eyes in sadness.


    Necro, on the other hand, let out a wickedly loud laugh, causing some of the soldiers to look back at him with fearful eyes, others with pleading eyes for help as they lay on the ground, hurt and screaming, "Don''t look at me, you weaklings. I''m not gonna help."


    ...


    L continues to guide Damian, "Damian, the angels have weak armour by the ribs and knees, while the demons are weak by the hip and under the arm."


    Damian thanked him while targeting the areas L had indicated.


    S chimed in, "Use those new earth powers."


    Damian made pillars appear, impeding vision then used lightning to generate steam from the water attacks...


    "Time to die all of you," Damian snarled as he expertly dodged a twin blade coming at him while cutting into a demon''s body with his sword.


    With a fierce determination in his eyes, Damian unleashed a powerful spell, "Lightning Smite!" Spikes of lightning erupted from the pillars, charring the warriors around them.


    With his eyes locked on his next target, an angel lady who was desperately trying to shield herself from the lightning, Damian rushed towards her.


    "Time''s up," he growled as he swung his blade from behind her, cutting her neck with a swift motion.


    "Splat," blood spilt out as the angel fell to the ground, desperately grasping at her wound and pleading for help.


    But her cries for aid fell on deaf ears then she see a demon coming rushing towards them, her faith levels increasing even though it is a demon.


    The demon grinned wickedly, "Fire Whip!" A lengthy whip with spikes and six sabres swung towards Damian and the angel.


    With a regretful sigh, Damian used the angel as a shield and raised his swords to block the attack.


    But it was too late.


    With a deafening ''Whooosh, Boooom'', the six sabres cut through the angel, killing her instantly.


    "That wasn''t very pleasant, she asked for your aid," Damian said as he stood, shaking off the mud mixed with blood.


    "Hahahaha, she was already dead to me. So, fuck her. You''re mine," the demon sneered as he rushed towards Damian, pivoting his whip quickly.


    Luckily Damian is ready, "Vine and Earth Cage!" He lifts his hands and a huge prison covers everyone around him.


    As the sun begins to fade and the ceiling closes in, the darkness made it difficult for them to see. But the demon''s whip lights up the inside, helping them to see.


    "Steal the air," Damian commanded, and with a clap, the plants began to steal all the oxygen in the cage.


    Standing in the epicentre of the cage, Damian surveyed the scene as everyone readied their weapons. Then the fire whip starts withering away so the demon looks at it.


    The demon snarls. "What the fuck, Fire...Fire...what do you think I''m terrified of the dark? I am born of darkness," he sneers brandishing two black curved blades now.


    Damian is unfazed. "Then bring it on, demon. Why are your legs trembling like the others?"


    As the demon lunges at him, Damian calls out, "Nature''s Protection!" A creature erupts from the ground, grabbing the demon by the hands and pummeling him into the floor, shattering his body as bones break.


    "Shit, these earth powers are insane," Damian mutters as the creature vanishes.


    The other warriors try to break out of the cage, but Damian cuts them down quickly. "Hmm, I wonder if barbs..." he muses as massive spikes suddenly impale all of the remaining soldiers outside, sending some fleeing in terror.


    As the cage collapses and the angels and demons fall dead from the barbs, Damian comes into view. The remaining warriors back away in fear as they see the carnage inside.


    "Damian, don''t halt. They are scared now. Persist in your assault," L''s voice echoes in his mind.


    Damian continues his assault for 30 minutes, listening to L''s every command as he wields his weapons, powers, and martial arts. The angel and demon army launch a barrage of attacks at Damian, but he easily deflects or warps away, using the confusion to strike another being. The battlefield is soon awash with blood and death as Damian decimates his enemies with merciless efficiency.

 “Title at the end�

    With a roar that shook the earth, Gabriel''s voice boomed out, "ENOUGH! All of you were ordered to work together, but none of you was helping each other out. On the battlefield, it''s everyone for themselves. Now retreat and fall behind me and Necro, we will take it from here." Her rage reached a new height as she witnessed the one-sided battle.


    Damian watched as the remaining horde of soldiers backed away, knowing they wouldn''t attack him now that Gabriel had given her orders to stop.


    "They''re going to attack now, Damian. Be ready," L warned.


    "You better beat that bug''s ass, do you hear me!" S shouted.


    Necro stood, holding his spear. "Ah, so boring. I was enjoying the show," he said, then grabbed a retreating Higher demon. "Sir, what--" the demon started, but Necro crushed his head, sending brown blood squirting everywhere.


    The other warriors jumped back in fear, hoping not to be next.


    "What do you want? Keep moving, unless you want to join that last Higher piece of shit who thought sucking up to me was a good idea," Necro laughed, dropping the body to the floor.


    In the end, only two angels and one Higher demon survived out of the original army of one million, two hundred and fifty thousand, which had included twenty Higher angels and thirty-one Higher demons. Now, there were less than five hundred and forty-three thousand, and even that number might decrease as the injured succumbed to their wounds.


    As Gabriel surveyed the battlefield filled with bodies and wounded, crying or writhing in pain, she turned to Necro with pleading eyes. "Can you please give them mercy?"


    Necro looked at her, wondering if she was serious. "Why should I show them mercy? I''m enjoying myself listening to this symphony of screams," he said, with a smirk. But then he relented. "Fine, they are worthless trash anyway."


    The five blades on Necro''s shoulder guards, connected to skull faces, began to weep as the spikes on his armour started moving. He called out "Hixes and Nexus" and thousands of blades shot out from nowhere, quickly and efficiently putting an end to the wounded with a single strike to the head. As he called out "Hixes and Nexus" again, the blades flew back to him and the spikes on his armour reattached themselves.


    S exclaimed in awe, "Wow, Damian, did you see those blades and spikes?"


    Damian replied, "It was hard not to notice. It was loud, and then quiet a few seconds later, plus he didn''t even move that fast so I could see him flicking the blades out of his storage dimension."


    L added, "That''s not what he''s talking about. First, his armour spikes moved when he said ''Hixes and Nexus,'' also the blades that come out of his dimensional storage aren''t just a small count of thousands. They''re also laced with poison."


    Damian couldn''t help but smile behind his mask as he realized that Necro had a trump card but mistakenly gave it away. Yet he had one as well that can render Necros blades useless in this fight.


    Gabriel landed in front of Damian, her eyes now super bright red and her wings a deeper red than before. The energy she was emitting was causing the bodies around her to crumple under the pressure, with sounds of ''crack, pop, snap'' as the bodies were forced downward away from her feet.


    Necro stood tall beside the army, his head turning towards them as he sneered, "Allow us to demonstrate true fucken power. Do not dare call yourselves powerful again, or I''ll hunt you down myself." With a powerful leap, he took to the sky and landed beside Gabriel, causing the bodies around them to evaporate into liquid vapour upon impact.


    Gabriel glared at Necro in anger, her voice filled with contempt as she spoke, "Now their bodies can''t even be laid to rest with their families."


    Necro shot back quickly, "They don''t deserve it. With us fighting, nothing will be spared here. That''s why we''ve been restricted to only using 5% of our power. This pitiful realm would crumble otherwise. I can''t even use my Void-Fiendagon nor your Halo."


    AN:" Void-Fiendagon and Novaleon will be explained later"


    Gabriel, understanding the truth in Necro''s words, nodded and turned to the army. Her once beautiful voice now filled with rage, she bellowed, "ALL OF YOU, GET 5KM AWAY FROM THIS AREA IF YOU DON''T WANT TO BE CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE!"


    The army didn''t hesitate, they all began fleeing for their lives, knowing that they couldn''t possibly handle the fighting power that Necro and Gabriel possessed.


    Damian pondered Necro''s words, wondering why they were restricted. He understood why the lower army was, but Absolute Beings should not be. Necro''s inability to use his Void-Fiendagon and Gabriel''s Novaleon gave Damian the upper hand.


    Necro laughed, as he always did, unaware of the blunder he had caused for himself and Gabriel.


    The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.


    Gabriel turned to Damian, her eyes scanning the blood, brain matter, and flesh that covered his body as it fell to the ground. A look of disgust and anger crossed her face, but she quickly composed herself. "You didn''t disappoint and lived up to your name, destroyer of order."


    Damian looked bewildered at her words, thinking to himself, "Why are they calling me that? I''ve never done anything to their so-called order. I don''t care about their order.


    All I want is to get stronger and seek my revenge. Isn''t that what all races strive for - to reach higher ranks in life?" With a shake of his body, he tried to rid himself of the blood and other debris that covered him.


    "Listen closely, Damian," L began urgently. "You need to finish her quickly. I''ve observed her and the angrier she gets, the stronger she gets. I think she''s the legendary berserker angel."


    "That''s impossible," Damian protested. "I thought the berserker angel was a bulky 3m size man who died ages ago in the last war. That''s what the books said."


    "I''m telling you what I''ve observed," L insisted.


    "Okay, I''ll test her," Damian said. He turned to the angel, Gabriel, and said, "Say, you wouldn''t let me cool off and get clean by any chance?"


    Necro laughed. "Hahaha, kid. Don''t fucken sweat. You''ll be dead in one minute. I''ll burn your body to cinders afterwards to save the cleanup crew some time."


    "Darn, you''re right," Damian said, but then he added, "But your friends didn''t even lay a scratch on me. I can''t believe they''re so weak and useless."


    At that, Gabriel flared up. "You''re done for," she said, lifting her axe and jumping towards Damian. She smashed it down at him.


    "It''s her! Finish her quickly! Move!" L shouted.


    The ground beneath them shattered as pieces flew up, the air blew outward, levelling all the small trees, and the mountain with the waterfall split apart. The giant tree was still burning and branches started falling.


    Necro swung to his left quickly as he sensed danger, but he was slow, and the short sword scratched and cracked his armour.


    Damian did a spin, dodging the spear by a hair and retreating, but Gabriel was on his tail, swinging. He got hit and flew 500m away, rolling and hitting rubble around, spitting out blood as his left rib guard crumbled to nothing.


    "You fucking little shit," Necro swore, looking at his broken armour. "Where did you get Adimite blades from in this pathetic realm?"


    Damian coughed up blood, then wiped his mouth clean. "From your wife," he said, "after I showed her a good time. Or was it your daughter?"


    Necro didn''t even talk back. All of a sudden, he split his spear in two and threw the spearhead like a shuriken so fast towards Damian.


    L:" On your right"


    With lightning-quick reflexes, Damian blocked Gabriel''s attack and delivered a devastating high kick to her face, sending her flying a distance of 30 meters. With a loud ''bang'', she crashed into a tree, dazed and mad.


    "Duck and then leap 45 degrees back," a voice in Damian''s head warned.


    Without hesitation, he followed the instruction, first ducking as a spinning blade flew over his head, then leaping backwards as Necro smashed the ground beneath him. But as he was in the air, Necro couldn''t help but smile under his mask as he saw Gabriel appear.


    "I''m sorry, I miscalculated," L muttered as Gabriel swings her axe at Damian.


    He lifts his swords in a V shape, and a massive ''BAAAAANG'' echoed through the sky as a shockwave appeared, making the clouds disappear.


    Gabriel stayed in her position, but Damian was sent flying, rolling and hitting everything in his path.


    When he finally came to a stop, his arm guards were destroyed, his robe was shredded, his pants were gone, and his back guard was shattered from the impact of Gabriel''s attack from behind.


    He sat in a recovery position, spitting blood as he realized that 8 of his ribs and his spine were broken. But then, with a series of ''cracking and popping'' sounds, he began to heal at a rapid pace.


    As he stood up, he noticed a locket hanging from his chest armour and remembered the promise he had made. He shook off the dirt and leaves, putting the locket back into his chest armour, and sighed at the state of his armour.


    "Fuck me, that was a bumpy ride," he muttered.


    The next moment, Gabriel and Necro landed in front of him, Necro on her right, both of them with shocked and confused expressions as they looked at Damian''s condition.


    Gabriel stared in disbelief as Damian stood before her, seemingly unharmed and fully healed from the attack she had just inflicted upon him. "How is this possible?" she muttered to herself, trying to make sense of the situation.


    Damian, however, didn''t have time for explanations. His orders came quickly into his head, as he commanded the earth to rise up and block Gabriel''s view.


    Gabriel saw him lunge at her right side with an electrically charged sword and she used her red right wing to block the attack, sparks flying as an explosion was heard.


    Unfortunately, Gabriel''s confusion only grew as she heard the words "It''s fake, Nexus" and blood began pouring out of her mouth. Damian''s real attack was coming from her left side and Necro, who was also in the fight, shouted out "It''s fake, Nexus" as he defended her with spikes flying from his body. But he was too late, as Damian''s sword hit Necro''s neck, cracking his armour.


    As Necro rolled forward, he unleashed hundreds of blades in every direction, hitting Gabriel''s armour and cracking it. Gabriel gasped for air, blood pouring out of her left side as she collapsed to her knee. Yet the fight was far from over, as Necro detached his spear and threw the blade directly at Gabriel''s face.


    Damian was already in front of her about to plunge his sword into her neck to kill her, Necro''s blade came so quickly cutting his hand off and breaking his mask. The sword returned to his waist automatically


    Gabriel, still in shock and struggling to breathe, flapped her wings hard seeing Damian, causing the ground to shatter as she flew into the sky. Unfortunately, her right wing was burnt and unresponsive, causing her to fall 10m away. Damian, meanwhile, fell to his butt as he was blown away by her force


    Yet the fight was not over yet, as L commanded "Damian, dodge" and the battle continued.


    Necro let out a fierce roar as he retaliated against Damian with the other half of his spear. He unleashed blades from his dimensional storage, raining them down upon his opponent as he jabbed his spear towards him. "You''re one crazy kid, I''m impressed. You would''ve been a ruler of rulers if you lived for longer," Necro sneered.


    But Damian was not to be underestimated. Without hesitation, he threw a lightning ball at Necro''s spear, creating a blinding light. Damian grabbed the spear with his right hand, piercing it with a spike, and sent his right sword flying through the air with a lightning strike. With his left hand, now fully regenerated, he stabbed Necro in the left shoulder.


    Necro''s black eyes glared into Damian''s bright silver ones as he struggled to lift his spear. Gabriel, lying on the ground, tried to rise and help Necro, her arch-enemy, as she stumbled towards them.


    "How did your hand grow back so quickly? That''s impossible," Necro exclaimed.


    "Why waste time telling you? You''ll be dead in a minute," Damian retorted.


    Enraged, Necro spat out, "You look just like her, that garbage you know," as a blade came hurtling towards his head.


    Regrettably, Damian couldn''t pull away in time. His right hand and sword burning with lightning, swung towards Necro''s head. ''Splat'', blood sprayed everywhere as Necro''s body fell to the ground.


    Damian''s mind raced with conflicting emotions. Two thoughts rang in his mind, one filled with regret and apology "I''m sorry Damian, I couldn''t predict this," and the other, filled with anger and frustration, "Fuck!"


    Two new voices whispered in Damian''s ears, "Die you Abomination for good this time."


    His thoughts were jumbled and he could only manage to utter two words, "like who?", as he collapsed onto his knees, retching blood. He lifted his hand to see it slowly turning to dust, and in his peripheral vision, he saw Gabriel moving at a snail''s pace as if time had slowed to a fraction of its normal speed. But that was impossible, no one could control time.


    Damian looked down and saw the tip of a sword jutting out from his chest. He tried to touch it and remove it, but his right arm had been severed by the sword. He tasted the blood in his mouth as it rose up once again.


    The help in the fight sounded again in his ears fading away, "Goodbye Dam...", and he knew that his time was up


    Damian thought to himself, "I remember this feeling. This is what death is like. Time slows to savour it, but whom was he talking about...what is this? Why am I seeing my life flash before my eyes?"


    Title: Death awaits you, Damian!


    ........

 Boy with nothing

    In the midst of a forest, where tall blue trees loomed and the ground was a soft pink hue, a storm raged on. The clouds were dark and ominous, the rain pouring down in sheets, and the lightning illuminated the night sky with pink streaks. The thunder rumbled loudly, drowning out all other sounds in the forest, as the beasts took refuge from the tempest.


    Amidst the chaos, a campfire burned brightly, the smoke curling up into the trees. The fire offered warmth and a sense of sanctuary in the miserable weather.


    But the peace was soon shattered by the sounds of ''Clang¡­Clang..Bang¡­rumble'' as an attacker descended upon the camp, slaughtering all the ones within.


    They screamed for mercy but to no avail.


    "Ah please no no n.." ''Thud'', a head rolls on the ground


    A woman''s voice echoed through the camp, cold and merciless: "You revolting, vulgar beasts want mercy¡­ hahaha, what a joke. Don''t like it when someone grander battles back, hey?"


    She systematically killed all 63 Orges in the camp, showing no compassion for their pleas.


    Walking towards a tent, she stepped inside, her gaze locked on a child in a cage. She stared at him for a long time, entranced, as if something about the scene caused her soul to quiver.


    The child is black-haired, with a moderate face, a rugged, tanned human boy, dirty, bloodied, with cuts, and bruises all over his body. His attire was ripped, and he barely had anything on.


    But what bewitched her was...


    His eyes gleamed bright silver, his pupils were encased in a purple hexagonal shape that seemed to shift and change with the light. When she looked at him, it felt as though she was staring into a soulless abyss, yet still, they were extraordinary.


    She quickly unlocked the cage and opened it, but the boy cowered in the corner, too scared to move. "Don''t worry, child," she said, lifting her hands in a peaceful gesture. "I won''t hurt you."


    But the boy only heard a strange noise and cowered further, hiding his face behind his hands as he saw the three white horns protruding from her forehead.


    Safira realized the boy couldn''t understand her and touched her chest, introducing herself. "Safira," she said with a bow.


    The boy tried to make a sound, but all that came out was a dry and cracked Cough, "Ca...cough...cough."


    Concerned for his well-being, Safira slowly reached towards him, conjuring a water satchel out of thin air and offering it to him. But the boy was still too scared and covered his face with his hands again.


    As time passed, he peeked through his fingers and saw that Safira was still there with the water. He slowly reached for it and started drinking, but he drank too fast and began choking.


    "Careful, little one," Safira said, quickly grabbing him and holding him close. She handed him another water satchel and stroked his head and back, trying to comfort him. The boy struggled, but he was too weak to break free.


    So, he took the water and started drinking again, this time taking small sips so he wouldn''t choke.


    As Safira continued to caress him, she hummed a soothing tune and swayed back and forth. "There, there, little one," she cooed. "You must be famished as well." With a twist of her hand, a small piece of meat materialized, and she held it out to him, gesturing for him to take it.


    The boy''s nose caught a whiff of the delicious scent and his stomach grumbled. He reached out and took the meat, devouring it hungrily. Safira continued to feed him like this for 30 minutes until his complexion had returned to somewhat better.


    Wrapping him in a large cloth, Safira stood up and held him tightly. She looked into his eyes and lifted her hand to his eyes, shutting them. He opened them again, confused, so she repeated the gesture but held her hand there longer, putting her head to his and removing her hand.


    This time, he didn''t open his eyes and Safira grinned, showing her sharp teeth.


    As she stepped out of the tent, the sight that greeted her was a bloodbath. Blood, guts, arms, legs, heads - if you could name it, there was a body part of it scattered everywhere.


    "Fucken creatures," she muttered under her breath. "I wish I could slaughter you again, much slower, for what you did to this child. I can''t imagine what he''s been through."


    As she walked out of the camp, the boy looked over her shoulder and saw the devastation.


    Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.


    He then looked up at her captivating face and said, "Ca..cafar."


    Safira looked at him and giggled. "Hehehe, close little one. Safira," she repeated slowly, enunciating each syllable.


    He tried again, "Ca-fia-rea."


    Safira clapped her hands and nodded her head. "Good endeavour, you will get it soon." She then pointed to him, trying to see if he knew his name.


    As she touched his chest, he stiffened, noticing her sharp fingernail. Safira quickly yanked her hand back and pulled out another piece of meat for him.


    He gladly took it, as it was the finest thing he had ever tasted.


    "No one will hurt you, little one," Safira said, looking into his exquisite eyes. "As long as I''m around, I''ll take you to your home or clan, if I can find them."


    With a sudden jolt, he jumps out of his skin, as the lightning outside rages on, illuminating the dark sky and drowning out any other noise.


    Safira holds him close, trying to calm him down, wishing she could control the weather and not just lightning. She makes her way quickly to her heavily guarded camp.


    "Halt, who goes there? Identify yourself," the guards call out as someone approaches their campsite.


    Safira doesn''t stop, walking up to them, "It''s me, at ease you four, I''m back," she says as they recognize her voice and drop to one knee, bowing their heads to her.


    "Your majesty, please forgive us," they say.


    Safira responds, "Nothing to forgive, good job, keep up the good work. I''m going to my tent," and nods at them to be at ease before leaving.


    As she walks to her tent, everyone bows, and she nods back with respect,  to them happy to see they are all in high spirits.


    "Fenris, Fenris sweetheart," Safira calls out as she enters her tent.


    A woman rushes over quickly, bowing to her, "Safira, back so soon, hope you found something to hunt," she says.


    Safira groans at her words, "Yeah, disgusting ogres killed them all. Will you be a dear and warm my bath water? I want to wash this one," she says as she pulls the cloth covering his face off, revealing a young boy.


    Fenris looks at the child in surprise and quickly hurries over to the bath to heat it with her flame ability, and adds various smelling salts to the water, so the queen can smell fabulous and majestic.


    The boy looks around the space, wide-eyed, as it is stunning, an all-white tent with wonderful glowing things on the ceiling, it smells amazing, and there''s a massive bed that he gets placed on by Safira as she stares at him.


    ¡­..'' Click''


    "Hello, hello, there you are. We''re going to take a bath to get you cleaned up, little one. Don''t be scared now," Safira tries to talk to him, but he''s not comprehending a word of it and just looks around, still astonished by the room.


    He looks at her and notices he''s made her dirty and looks at her robe in dread, worried he might get injured, so he stiffens up again.


    Safira sees what he''s looking at and shakes her head, quickly removes her robe, and tosses it to the corner of the room. She pulls out another piece of meat and hands it to him, caressing his head, "They can be washed, dear. No dread and worry here," she says as she cuddles him to soothe him further.


    "Safira, please permit me to bathe him," Fenris rushes over to take him to the bath with open arms.


    Safira shakes her head and unclips her belt holding her long sword, and hands it to Fenris. She starts undressing and then walks over to him, two giant wings flick open, and a tail comes out from her back.


    "Good to be unrestricted from that harness," she says.


    Only now does he stop gazing around and notice the wings and also the tail. The long, snowy-white hair falls to her hips, with sharp ears going upwards. After she unwraps her hair from the cloth she had it in to protect it from blood.


    Safira stands in front of the boy and starts giggling because he''s enchanted by her now. She slowly lifts his shirt off and almost gets super enraged when she sees all the cuts and contusions he has, but then she removes his pants and strolls towards the bath to clean him to not frighten him by getting mad.


    Fenris looks at the situation concerned and speaks out, "Safira, are you sure this is very unorthodox of a Queen?"


    "Fenris, I am the Queen of the Dragons, an Ancient God beast. I do what I want when I want. Just because my powers are restricted here doesn''t imply other existence can look down on me. This boy has lived through...I don''t want to imagine. He''s skittish and badly hurt, just look at his body," Safira says with a tear slipping from her eye as she looks at him.


    " Yes Safira of course I understand that", Fenris bows and nods her head to Safira


    Queen Safira slowly lowers herself into the grand, oval-shaped bath, the water a milky white, infused with a lavender aroma. Her wings rest comfortably against the circumference of the bath, her tail hanging out lazily as she cradles the small boy against her chest, gently running water through his hair.


    "Fenris, please fetch me some clothing for this little one," Queen Safira commanded, her voice so gentle though. "And tell my royal vigils outside to circulate the word in the camp. We''re heading to the main city tomorrow, and I want the S squad to go ahead and gather knowledge about this child. See if they can find anything about his race in this globes codex."


    AN:" Vigils are Queen Safira''s royal guards"


    Fenris, ever the dutiful servant, quickly complied. She stood and went to a table, writing down the decrees and folding the documents, stamping them with an insignia. She then returned to the bath, jotting down the boy''s appearance before bowing to the Queen and rushing off to fulfil her duties.


    As Fenris left, Queen Safira tended to the boy, cleaning him thoroughly as he playfully touched her horns and fiddled with her long hair.


    She closed her eyes, lost in thought, "What are you, boy? I''ve never seen a being with eyes like yours on this planet. Your silver pupils are so uncommon, and the purple irises are shaped like a hexagon. Even more unique."


    But her musings were interrupted as she heard her name being called. She opens her eyes and looked around, confused. And then it comes again, "Safira," the boy said, staring at her horns.


    Queen Safira''s eyes widened in surprise, a smile spreading across her face as she giggled and nodded her head in approval, she clapped her hands and pointed at him


    He looked down but still doesn''t understand so she just plays with him some more.


    After 30 minutes of soaking in the bath, Fenris returned, holding a small pile of spotless new clothing, and laying them out neatly on the bed.


    She walked over to the bath, bowing to the Queen before kneeling to check the water''s temperature.


    As she rose to fetch the Queen''s bathrobe, she was suddenly grabbed by Queen Safira.


    "Safira, how can I assist you?" Fenris asked, quickly twisting to look at her, thinking she required something.


    Queen Safira grins as she points to Fenris and says her name, then points at the boy. The boy looks at Fenris and then back to Queen Safira, "Fenris," he says, mimicking the Queen''s words.


    Queen Safira claps and smiles, "Such a smart boy," she says, making a cute giggle.


    She then proceeds to label different objects in the room, and the boy repeats each one after her.


    Fenris stands by in awe, she has never seen the Queen of Dragons act in such a way before. She bows and asks, "Queen Safira, may I prepare your robe and a towel?" Queen Safira nods her head in agreement and Fenris quickly goes to fetch them.


    Rising from her bath, Queen Safira wraps herself in her robe and carefully places the young boy on the bed, covering him with a blanket.


    She surveys the plain clothing adorned with the dragon clan''s logo, a dragon soaring among the stars, its wings and tail resembling her own around a sword.


    As she begins to dress the boy, Fenris approaches, "Queen Safira, please allow me to do that." But the Queen shakes her head again, "My dear Fenris, you may brush my hair later." Fenris bows in obedience.


    Once the boy is fully dressed, Queen Safira takes him to her chest of drawers and sits him on top.


    She brings out a brush and begins to groom his hair. After a few minutes, Fenris steps forward to brush the Queen''s long hair and clean her horns.


    As the evening wears on, the Queen puts on her pyjamas and sits down at the table for dinner. Fenris serves the meal, but the Queen can''t help but giggle as the boy devours his food with lightheartedness.


    She raises her glass of dragon wine to drink it, but the boy glances over and points at it, causing Fenris to stand in concern.


    The Queen laughs and shakes her head, "Fenris, sweet water for him."


    She quickly pours him a glass and clinks it against her own, "Thanks, Fenris.", she then points to her, and the boy mimics her and drinks.


    After dinner, Queen Safira settles into bed with the boy cuddled close. She glances at Fenris and says, "Night, Fenris," which the boy repeats.


    Fenris smiles, "Goodnight, Safira and young man," before departing to her tent. The Queen sings a lullaby until the boy falls asleep, and then she too drifts off.

 A Unique Day

    As the morning sun rose, Queen Safira stirred from her slumber, her eyes fluttering open. She got out of bed and walked over to the boy, who was still sound asleep. She couldn''t help but smile as she tucked him in, knowing that he needed the rest after all that he had been through.


    As she got dressed in her royal kimono and robe, she couldn''t help but feel a sense of pride and responsibility. She placed her sword on her hip before glancing one last time at the boy, and then she left her tent to see how things were going.


    "Good morning, Your Majesty," three voices spoke in unison as she stepped out of her tent.


    She saw two dragons in humanoid forms bowing before her, her royal vigils, and the third was none other than Fenris, who was not a dragon.


    "Good morning," Queen Safira replied as she nodded her head. "Fenris, can you go look after the sleeping boy? I''ll manage things around the camp."


    "Yes, Safira, with pleasure," Fenris said as he rose and made her way into the tent to look after the boy.


    Queen Safira smiled and then looked at her royal vigils. "How is the camp doing?"


    The older one stepped forward and lowered his head before raising it in respect. "S squad left as ordered, Your Majesty. Everyone else in the camp is packing up, but uhmm, Your Majesty Drac stopped them and wants to speak to you."


    Queen Safira nodded and thanked them before making her way to Drac''s tent. It was the next significant tent within the camp area, and she arrived quickly. She made her way inside after passing the guards, who were bowing since she didn''t need permission to enter.


    "Safira, good dawn," Drac said as he stood and bowed to her. "It''s lovely to see you. Thanks for coming."


    "Good dawn, Drac," Queen Safira said with a rough glance, tapping her foot in an irritated posture. "I was informed you wanted to speak to me. Why was my decree not obeyed?"


    Drac nodded and looked at the beautiful Queen Safira, admiring her but not lusting after her.


    "With all due respect, Your Majesty, the youngsters haven''t had any survival training. We only arrived two days ago and were discussing Beast Creek. Why are we departing?" Drac asked confusion etched on his face. "And what''s this I hear about you housing a pararoach?"


    AN:" Pararoch, is a term given to lower lifeforms that breed and conquer because greed fills their eyes, raining destruction and spreading like wildfire."


    Queen Safira''s wings extended 2.8 meters outward, hitting the tent, and her pupils enlarged and brightened. She tensed her fists and a tiny power wave is discharged, an aura that would bring an Emmortal to the floor hurt.


    "Watch your mouth, Drac," Queen Safira growled, still releasing her aura. "The boy is not a pararoach. Do you hear me? Who I house in my tent is none of your concern. I am the Queen of Dragons. When I give decrees, they are to be obeyed without question." She takes a deep breath and rescinded her aura, closing her wings.


    Drac is in shock, not because of the aura, but because Queen Safira had never exhibited such wrath towards her clan members before.


    He quickly bowed his head. "Forgive me, Your Majesty. I meant no offence. The other dragons were just conveying their complaints because we traversed so far for nothing."


    Queen Safira breathed in and out for a minute before sitting at Drac''s desk. "I know we''ve traversed so far," she said, her voice calmer.


    "But I found ogres in the forest, too close to the perilous zones, with children''s bones ubiquitous. This drove me to lose my temper and obliterate a section of the forest. I also found the child caged up like a play pet. I want to proceed back to the central city to find his race on this planet and return him if I can. I''m worried about the young ones without me here. The troops can be mobilized again after that, the time here will just be less."

    Drac sits down, "Shit, Safira, that''s brutal. I''m truly sorry for what I said about the boy."


    Queen Safira gives him a nod, indicating that it''s alright. She knows he means well. Drac then thinks of a plan.


    "Why don''t we do this instead? You take your Royal vigils to the main city, see if you can find his race and return him. That way it''s not a complete waste."


    But Queen Safira is still concerned about her clan, "I don''t want the same thing to happen to the dragon youngsters. I won''t be here to protect them."


    Drac understands her concern, "I see, Safira, as always concerned about her clan, such an immense heart. I will personally protect them. You know I''m the best combatant here. So no harm will come to them, I vow it. I''ll put off exploring new places like I usually do."


    Queen Safira thinks for a moment and examines the map on the table. Then she stands and points at the map, "The central city is a 3-day chariot ride from here. The flight will take me 40 minutes to get back. You do not take my clan youngsters anywhere near the perilous zone. Other squads also stay away, you hear me? They''ll contact you every hour to check in with their zone. I''ll be gone for a week minimum, and two weeks maximum. You contact me if something happens."


    Drac smiles, "Yes, Safira, thank you, wise and gracious as always. We will await your return. Please journey safely and keep me informed, as I will do the same."


    Queen Safira starts walking out but stops, "Don''t be excessively rough on the youngsters, please." Before she gets a reply, she leaves to tell her Royal vigils the new plans. Once she''s done, they hurry off to spread the word. Then she enters her tent and notices a young man eating. Fenris bows as always.


    ...


    Ten minutes earlier, in Queen Safira''s tent, the boy is sleeping peacefully for once in his life. He''s never slept in such comfort before. Fenris stands to observe him, listening to his slumber. She can see he''s at ease and dreaming.


    Suddenly, Fenris senses an immense energy wave in the area. Recognizing the aura, she isn''t apprehensive. The boy unexpectedly awakens and sits up in terror, as if his past few hours were just a promising fantasy that is about to be gone. But then, he sees Fenris and the captivating tent and calms down a little.


    However, he panics again when he can''t see Safira.


    Fenris rushes over to him and notices his anguish. She puts her hand on his head and caresses it. She then pulls a small object from her neck, a necklace, specifically a locket, and shows him a picture of Queen Safira. He takes the locket and holds it tightly, staring at her appearance.


    Fenris backs up and walks over to the table, removing a chair and indicating the food. The boy stands up and sprints to the table¡­sits down and starts to eat fast, never letting go of the locket. He holds it close to his heart.


    After some time, Queen Safira enters the tent and the boy sees her. He runs into her arms, and she picks him up and holds him tightly, missing him as well. She notices the locket in his hands, the one Fenris usually wears, given to her by Queen Safira.


    "Thank you, Fenris. I''ll get you a replacement necklace," she says to Fenris as she holds the boy.


    Fenris smiles at her, "It''s my delight, Safira. I remember the day you saved me like it was yesterday. I can see that you care for this boy."


    Queen Safira nods and informs Fenris of their new plans. Fenris decides to go with Queen Safira.


    Queen Safira sits down, still holding the boy, and they all eat breakfast together. Afterwards, they pack up and get ready to depart since everything is already prepared.


    Outside the camp, a chariot awaits, loaded and ready to go. Fenris and the boy are sitting inside. The boy has his head out the window, looking at Queen Safira and other beings kneeling in front of her as she speaks with them.


    Queen Safira gives her final orders to each squad leader. There are six squads in the Emmortal Milky lane and one proceeded to the main city. They flu there straight away last night. Drac and the five leaders kneel in front of her.


    An:" Emmortal Milky lane will be explained later"


    "My squad leaders, please take it easy. I''m not here to protect you, but luckily, Drac is here. Even though you are powerful, remember you are restricted here. The youngsters in your supervision want to prove themselves, but preferably be safe. I would rather have you all perfect than lose you. I think teaming up two or three teams together would be best. Contact Drac if you are in crisis and stay close together as well. Somethings have changed since five years ago, monsters have shifted around, so always keep your eyes open."


    All the squad leaders bowed on one knee, saying "Yes, your majesty. Long live Queen Safira." They then get up and walk towards the camp, conversing about teaming up and which way they want to proceed.


    Drac gets up and walks to Queen Safira''s flank, setting his hand on her shoulder, "Truly a magnificent leader as always, caring so much for her clan and others. I''ll monitor them all and make sure the young ones don''t come into danger. Safe journeys and no combat," he says with a subtle laugh.


    As the overlord of martial arts, Queen Safira turns to Drac and jokingly scolds him, "You one to lecture, be safe, Overlord of Martial Arts.


    Hahahaha." Drac''s face turns red with embarrassment as he quickly tries to conceal it. "Those were my youthful days," Drac responds, embarrassed.


    Queen Safira then turns to the chariot, which is entirely automatic and white, with the clan logo in gold on the door. On the roof, there is a small surveillance tower where four Royal Vigils sit. The interior is a spatial dimension that makes it look like a miniature flat.


    She climbs into the chariot and sits by the window, looking out at her clan. The boy scurries over and climbs onto her lap, facing out the window. Fenris also walks over and sits on her right side, positioning her head on her shoulders.


    "Safira, what are you going to do if you can''t uncover his race? We can only spend a month in this universe, and he won''t survive the pressure from the God Beast Domain," Fenris asks her, concerned that Safira cares for the boy so much.


    Queen Safira takes a deep breath and strokes the boy''s head, holding his chest so he doesn''t fall. "Fenris, I hope we can find out his race. But like you said, we don''t have much time here. If I can''t find anything about his race, I''ll go to my friends, the forest elfs, and request their assistance by using their soul scanner to find out information about him, and then get him home if we discover anything," she says.


    Fenris smiles and touches the boy''s arm. "I hope so, Safira. He''s such a precious child," she says.


    The boy leans back onto Queen Safira''s chest and plays with her soft hair, but keeps looking out the window as the chariot proceeds towards the city.


    Queen Safira watches as her clan camp gets smaller and smaller as they depart. She hopes nothing will happen to her clan while she''s gone, otherwise, she will never absolve herself if they get hurt.


    Fenris attempts to play with the boy while Queen Safira is deep in thought. She doesn''t want to disturb her at all because she knows she''s worried right now.

 Pit Stop...

    2 days later...


    The clan of Emmortal were making their way home, their spirits high after a successful training session with the young ones. But little did they know, disaster was looming just around the corner.


    As they approached the main city, the loud sounds of battle filled the air. Suddenly, a group of 13 bandits appeared, attacking their chariot with fierce determination. The elders of the clan quickly sprang into action, using their powers to fend off the masked bandits and protect the young ones inside the chariot.


    The kids in the chariot were hiding behind the elders, terrorized and shrieking every time an onslaught sounded off. The clan elders, outnumbered and outmatched, fought for their lives with all their might. They had already lost two guards to flame arrows, and the bandits seemed to be a combination of various races from the planet or even other planets.


    The elders were at a disadvantage, as their main power was water, which was ineffective against the bandits'' fire-based powers in this desert climate. They were forced to use weapons mixed with a little water, but it wasn''t enough to turn the tide of the battle. The majority of the bandits were using fire, with only a few using air or poison powers.


    ''Swoosh, Splat, Ahhh'', a bandit fired an arrow, striking one of the elders in the shoulder. The arrow was covered in fire and made from a metal called Phromium.


    AN:" Phromium is a metal only found in the Emmortal Milky Lane, more information late"


    "Kill him already!", one of the bandits shouted.


    A curved blade swings towards the injured elder''s throat, but another elder jumps forward, parrying the attack with his sword and slicing the bandit''s hand off.


    ''Splat, Thud '', the bandit tried to retreat, but the injured elder pulled out a small blade and plunged it into the man''s throat, green blood spilling everywhere. He picked up his weapon and continued to fight since his life depended on it.


    For another 12 minutes, the battle raged on, the fate of the clan hanging in the balance...


    Then the bandits start backing up, their movements slow and cautious but not unnoticed. The elders couldn''t understand why they were retreating, but they soon found out. Suddenly, a giant beast with a single horn appeared out of nowhere and charged towards them.


    The elders were in a bind, they knew that if they moved the chariot with the kids inside, it would be hit and the children would be hurt. And if they stayed put, they would be collateral damage.


    Trepidation and daze washed over them. Two of the elders jumped out of the way, while the other four tried to shield the chariot with water shields. But they knew deep down that they were useless, as they were already drained.


    ''Kaboom¡­craaaack..snap¡­splat''


    A massive explosion echoed through the air as the beast imploded from a blinding light. Most of the elders couldn''t see what had happened.


    One of the elders who had jumped out of the way shouted, "White lighting...how it is a sunny day?" The others couldn''t hear anything, as everyone''s ears were ringing like crazy. Three elders were completely vision-less as well.


    The bandits weren''t any better off. One of them was burnt and hollering in pain, while the others were rolling on the ground or trying to regain their senses.


    Blood and dust filled the air, along with sparks, as the beast tried to move, injured.

    Suddenly, there was a rapid movement in front of them. The earth started shaking and a gigantic dust cloud kicked up, filled with blood, guts and flesh. Everyone was flung back onto their asses or backs. One elder even hit the chariot, winding him.


    Everyone started coughing and waving their hands in front of their faces, trying to catch a glimpse of what had occurred and what had caused all of this.


    After a few minutes, the dust settled, revealing a woman standing in the remains of the beast''s bones and flesh. She has three horns, a white outfit, wings and a tail. Her face is so attractive, but right now it was twisted into a vicious and enraged expression that sent shivers down everyone''s spine.


    This was none other than Queen Safira, and she was beyond furious. She glared at them with a dangerous glint in her eyes.


    A few minutes earlier...


    The elder in the chariot attempted to console the children, "Children, I need you to be strong, alright? Come, let''s go out the side and run for the main city or aid. Please follow me," he opened the door and helped the kids out of the chariot.


    "Sir, look over there! A chariot is coming in the distance," one of the kids pointed and said to the elder.


    The elder, who was unloading a child, turned around and looked. He couldn''t believe it, the child was right - there was a chariot moving towards them. "Mira, nice spot. Alright, children, quickly get back in, then I''ll sprint to go ask them for help," he then runs off.


    But before he departs for good, he turns to speak.


    "Children, be courageous for me. Hopefully, they have guards or are another clan that might help us. But if something happens to me, I want you to run that way, okay? Run as quick as you can, don''t leave anyone behind," he pointed at the main city and then looked at the children.


    The kids all nodded their heads at him before slowly climbing back into the chariot.


    The elder then turns and runs as fast as he can, like his life doesn''t matter but the kids do. So he will exhaust himself to death if he can get help.


    As he approached the chariot, his back hair stood on edge as he noticed the symbol on the door was clad in gold, meaning a very wealthy family but also meaning lots of guards as well.


    So the elder began to shout, "HELP! HELP US PLEASE! HELP!" He completely froze as he finally recognized the symbol of the car. He, of course, was told about it in his clan.


    "Halt! Stop right there! Who are you?" The guards stood up and unsheathed their weapons at the water goblin.


    The elder dropped to his knees, shaking in fear and too weak to stand any longer from running. "P..p.pppp.please hhhhelp myyy my clan", the elder trembling so much and started wetting himself from pure fear, thinking what is his luck a God Beast.


    The guards saw this and quickly jumped down and sheathed their weapons. The guard said, "It''s okay, what''s wrong? Explain, we won''t hurt you if you need help."


    The elder bowed his head down and finally mustered the courage to speak, "We are at your mercy please, bandits attacked our chariot well coming home from the beast forest, and the children are in danger..."


    Before the elder can finish, a white figure leapt from the chariot and headed in the direction of where the man came from. He looked back but saw nothing, it was that fast.


    The guard walked to the man and handed him some water because he was breathing heavily.


    "Don''t worry, our Queen went to go help. She will protect the children now. Come, let''s get you cleaned up and go there." They both picked him up because he was still shaking and leapt to the roof of the chariot, then proceeded forward to the location of the fight when the elder was cleaned up.


    Back at the attack location, Queen Safira stood tall without her robe, her dragon clan symbol on full display on her platinum-finished kimono.


    The bandits, who were once frozen in fear, now stared at her in shock. They knew that this symbol meant she''s from the Alarie Dragon God Clan which is not good.


    These weren''t just any ordinary bandits. Unlike most other bandit factions, these outcasts had been kicked out of their clans or guilds because they broke the rules. They were educated and knew that the symbol on Safira''s kimono meant that they were in serious trouble.


    Queen Safira glared at the bandits, who were still shaking in fear. "What, never faced an individual of my calibre before? You always thought you were at the top of the food chain, but the first mistake of fighting idiots is to always know that someone out there is stronger than you. Whether it''s power, skills, or combat, never look down on others."


    She uses her soul detection to check on the children and the elders in the chariot. The protective barrier on the chariot was nothing to her as she scanned the inside.


    The elders were hurt, but nothing serious. A few days of rest would help. At the same moment, her chariot arrived with Fenris and the boy staring out the window.


    The bandits didn''t know what to do or say to her. They were completely silent, while others groaned in pain and tried to regain their senses.


    "What the fuck are you all staring at?" one bandit finally said as he regained his vision.


    Another bandit pointed behind him and when he turned around to look in the direction of the bandit''s hand, he shat himself and fell to his knees in fear.


    The elders on the floor rushed together and looked in amazement. They never thought they would see a God Beast or even receive help from one in their lifetime. They checked their wounds but didn''t want to miss the fight that was about to happen, as a fight with a God Beast was extremely rare.


    Inside the chariot, the kids were in awe. "Quick, come look! It''s a God Beast! She''s come to save us!" one of the older kids exclaimed. Some of the other kids came to look, while others stayed away in fear and shaking.


    "Wow, a God Beast! No way!" "She''s so beautiful!" "What is she? A real-life dragon!" "Look at those wings!" "What''s a God Beast?" "They are so dead for sure!" "Serves them right!" the kids fired off questions, compliments, and one-liners.


    One little girl, Mira, asked, "Is she here to save us? Please tell me she is and won''t hurt us as well."


    A boy spoke up, "I hear the dragons are the most powerful. She might eat us."


    Another boy quickly spoke up to reassure her, "Shut up, you idiot. Mira, I''m sure she isn''t going to hurt us. Look, she killed that beast and is only watching the bandits with hatred."


    A boy spoke up, "Shh, shh, she''s saying something." The kids all got closer to the window to hear. Mira also watched, but she was still scared.


    Queen Safira let out a sigh. "Shit, just my luck."

 Zero Flexing

    Queen Safira, the powerful Dragon God Beast, stood before a group of bandits, her white eyes pulsing with power and focus. "So, it''s time to test your power and skills," she declared, her voice echoing through the forest. "Don''t worry too much, I''ll hold back my strength to 5% so you all have a fighting chance."


    The bandits looked at each other in fear, knowing that even at 5% power, this Dragon in front of them could level towns. They all nodded at each other, speaking a code to each other, one they had made up long ago when they started the gang. But then they heard...


    "Ah. Ah. Ah. Tsk, no running now. We can''t have that. Don''t make me extremely mad after I just offered you all a deal. I don''t want to destroy 500m of this area in one blast. You took me away from my peaceful playtime, so it''s only fair you play with me," Queen Safira spoke, not stopping her glare at all of them.


    The bandits'' faces turned completely pale as they realized she had read them like a book. There was no escaping, only death awaited them now. So, they faced it.


    One bandit started begging for mercy, "Please, great one, God Beast of the dragons, so beautiful and glorious. We won''t do it again, I swear on my mother''s grave. We will change our ways and become better beings."


    She stared at them blankly, not saying a word as she unclipped her sword and threw it to one of her royal guards, who had dropped down and was now guarding the elders. The other one tended to their wounds.


    "Don''t test my patience or take me for an idiot. I''m an Ancient God Beast, not some baby born yesterday. Now, prepare yourselves, children, to be punished for all you have done. Karma has finally flipped on you and is here to cash in," Queen Safira put one hand behind her back and lifted the other in the air...


    She didn''t even wait for them to speak again and moved, lightning shooting out of her fingers as she hit two bandits in the legs that tried to run. She then stabbed one through the chest with her claws as her duplicate killed another two by making their heads roll on the floor.


    One bandit swung his sword at another bandit, killing him, but he was under an illusion she had cast on him. The earth shook as another two bandits got impaled by spikes made from earth and rock. The real Safira blew fire, killing four bandits in one quick breath, and then the duplicate ripped one bandit into two pieces.


    All this happened in four seconds, that''s how fast she moved. The bodies fell to the floor, only once she was done. Some bandits were still alive, but they were already dead. They watched in slow motion as their demise occurred, but the fact was, they were already dead.


    As the last bandit lay on the ground, burnt and screaming from the lightning that had struck him, he surveyed the scene of carnage before him. His gang members lay dead, their bodies scattered around him, having been brutally massacred in a matter of seconds. He couldn''t believe what had just happened. Was this truly the power of a God Beast?


    Safira had said she would only use 5% of her maximum power, yet this was completely absurd. How could anyone fight her? The thought of it sent shivers down his spine and he wet himself as he saw her walking towards him, fear gripping him as he thought about his impending death.


    Queen Safira, covered in the blood of three different colours - green, red, and blue - fused back with her duplicate and twisted her hands, flicking off some of the blood as she walked towards the burnt bandit on the floor.


    The elders and children, even Fenris, stood in absolute disbelief, unable to comprehend what they had just witnessed. The fight had been over so quickly, all they had seen was blood and smoke, with no sounds of fighting or resistance.


    "That''s 5% of her power?" one elder finally spoke, his voice trembling. "How does one fight that kind of power?"


    A guard shook his head in disbelief. "No, that was only 2% power tops. I would say her duplicate was the 2%, the rest was nothing."


    This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.


    The elders turned ghostly pale, realizing the true extent of Queen Safira''s power. No wonder all the lessons they had been taught about never messing with Gods. One elder even began to pray, begging to be spared from death.


    Safira arrived at the last bandit and placed her foot on his chest, pinning him down with her claws at his neck. She looked at him with disgust, noting that he was an elf. "You spit in your ancestor''s faces with what you''re doing. Only Dark Elvin or Elfs resort to nasty and evil deeds like this. So why are you here with your beast-summoning power? You should be at least an Inner Warrior, maybe a Core Warrior of a clan," she said, shaking her head in disbelief.


    The elf, sweating and wriggling in pain, coughed up blood as he tried to speak. "I was taken as a child and sold. I was a slave for years, then trained by them to steal. I had no choice. They would starve me if I didn''t, or hurt me when I did something wrong," he said, tears rolling down his face. "Please, I don''t want to die. Spare me, please. I am innocent."


    She looked at him and made a tsk sound. "Tsk tsk. You all truly do take me for an idiot, don''t you? The tears were impressive, I''ll give you that, but your heartbeat is way too fast and your mind is so easy to read. You''re such a pathetic elf," she said, her disgust clear in her voice.


    The elf tried to wriggle free. "You fucking ugly bitch. Why don''t you go back to your domain? You filthy beast. This isn''t your business, so piss off and leave," he said, swinging his arm towards her leg with a knife in it.


    But she remained completely still as the knife came towards her leg. As it touched her skin, the entire blade snapped, unable to even pierce her skin.


    "You truly are a fool. Your universe''s metal can''t even scratch my skin, idiot. You should know better. A runaway elf should have some knowledge. What couldn''t you handle? Being treated badly?"


    The elf let out a deep exhale, his face contorting in pain. "I killed my parents and sister in their sleep," he confessed, his voice barely above a whisper. "They loved her more. Her talent for summoning was better. They never even looked my way when I did something. But look at me now, I''m a king." A twisted smile played on his lips as he spoke, the weight of his actions evident in his eyes.


    The elf''s eyes then gleamed with a sinister light, as memories of the night he murdered his own family flooded his mind. He had always felt overshadowed by his sister, whose gift for summoning was highly coveted among their clan. But he couldn''t stand the thought of living in her shadow any longer. So, he took matters into his own hands, snuffing out the lives of his family in one fell swoop.


    As Queen Safira listened to the bandit''s words, her anger boiled within her. "You showed them nothing, you coward," he sneered. "Killing someone in their sleep? You couldn''t even face them awake. You aren''t a king, just a pararoch."


    With a fierce determination in her eyes, Safira lifted her leg and smashed it down, crushing the bandit''s head with all of her rages. "Disgusting roch, die for your sins," she spat.


    But as she heard clapping behind her, Queen Safira''s anger dissipated, replaced by a warm feeling in her heart. She turned around to see a young boy, clapping and saying her name, and Fenris, her loyal companion, also clapping for her.


    Queen Safira smiled at the boy and Fenris and took a bow. A guard rushed over with a jug and towel, allowing Safira to clean up the blood on her face and hands. The guard then washed her wings, which were also covered in blood.


    The elders, who had been watching the scene in awe, couldn''t stop staring at Safira''s majestic body and beautiful face, even in her dragon form. The elder who had rushed to ask for help had already checked on the children, and they were all hugging him and some even crying, including Mira.


    Safira approached the elders and asked, "Hello, which one of you is the main elder here?"


    The elders quickly bowed and the one who had cut off the bandit''s hand spoke up, "Your Highness, I am the Grand Elder Cona. I would like to thank you for your help and kindly repay the enormous debt we owe you for saving all of our lives."


    But Queen Safira simply smiled and replied, "At ease, please. You don''t owe me anything. Seeing those children safe and sound is all the debt I need." She then asked, "Is your chariot functioning fully?"


    The elders relaxed but still kneeled to show respect to the God Beast. The children also kneeled, which made Safira''s heart ache a little, but she knew the elders might scold them if they didn''t.


    "Your majesty, the chariot is fine, just the protection seals have been damaged," the Grand Elder Cona said.


    Safira thought for a moment before saying, "Alright, you guys stay in front of us and we will escort you to the main city. That is where you''re going, right?"


    As Cona stood before the powerful god beast Safira, he couldn''t help but feel a sense of gratitude and relief wash over him. "Yes, your majesty, thank you so much for your protection," he spoke quickly, not wanting to anger the god beast. "We will pay you once we arrive. The Patriarch will be so happy his children are safe and sound."


    Queen Safira smiled warmly, "No payment is required so long as the children arrive safe and sound. I will be super happy then."


    As Queen Safira walked towards her chariot, where Fenris and the mysterious boy are waiting, she paused and turned to Cona. "Grand Elder Cona, could you help me with something, please? Do you know where this boy might come from or what race he belongs to?"


    Cona jumped up, rushing to Safira''s side as he looked at the boy she was pointing at. He examined the boy thoroughly for a minute, his expression a mix of amazement and confusion. "Your majesty, I''m so sorry, I don''t. I know all the races on this planet, my beast knowledge is about 80%, and monster knowledge is 100%, but no one on this planet looks like that, especially those extraordinary-looking eyes. Amazing, I''ve never seen eyes like that. Please forgive me for not being of help," he bowed to her.


    Safira shook her head, "No need to apologize, I''ve learned a lot more now. And there''s no need to forgive you, it was worth a shot. Thank you."


    With that, she opened the door and scooped the boy up into her arms, kissing his cheek before handing him to Fenris. She then turned and walked away, heading to change before departing for the main city with her chariots.


    ...


    As they made their way back to civilization, Cona couldn''t help but wonder about the mysterious boy. Who was he? Where had he come from? And what secrets did those extraordinary eyes hold? Only time would tell.

 Main City

    Two days ago, Squad S arrived in the bustling city of Parcae, determined to uncover the mystery of the boy their Queen had found wandering in the beast forest. The streets were alive with excitement as the news of the Dragon Queen''s possible arrival spread like wildfire.


    ...two moons set


    As the new day dawned, the Queen''s troops were scattered throughout the city, searching for any clues that might lead them to the boy''s whereabouts. Some delved deep into the city''s library, scouring books for any information about the planet and its inhabitants. Others sought out the local clans, questioning them about the boy and any knowledge they might have of his origins.


    Still, others visited the city''s bars and taverns, speaking with the proprietors and asking if they knew of anyone who might be able to shed light on the boy''s past.


    As the day progressed, the squad leader received a call from the royal guard, informing him that they had arrived at the palace and were awaiting their arrival.


    Without hesitation, the squad leader sent out a message to all of his troops, telling them to finish what they were doing and report to the palace immediately with any information they had gathered. He then flew to the main city palace, where he waited by the main gate for his troops to arrive.


    The guards at the palace were wary of the God Beast General, knowing that he was a powerful and feared figure. They said nothing to him, not wanting to offend him in any way.


    Inside the palace, the King and Queen were on edge, knowing that the Dragon Queen was on their planet, but not expecting her to arrive at their palace. They worried that they had done something wrong, that they had somehow angered her and would now be at her mercy.


    The King of planet Parcae, Aroc, is the most powerful Emmortal on the planet. Born from a Wizard mother and an Orc father, his body is dark green and very tall, standing at 2.5m. He has a tusk and short black hair, and his green eyes are like his mother''s. He is bulky but not overly so, like a pure orc. He possesses light powers.


    The Queen of the planet Parcae, Lily, is also a powerful Emmortal. She is from another planet but had come to Parcae in her youth and met the king. She was born to witch parents, is 1.7m tall, with green hair and green eyes. She and the king have four children together. She also has light powers.


    As Queen Safira entered the palace, making the most powerful existences on the planet kneeled and bow before her, as well as all their subordinates as they were ordered to.


    Queen Safira holds the boy in her hands, with Fenris by her side and the royal guards 2m behind her. "At ease King and Queen," she said calmly. "I am not here to cause trouble. I am simply here to find out information about this boy I found in the beast forest. I want to help him find his race, clan, race, or even his home if possible. Your help will be much appreciated. Thank you."


    The tension in the room was palpable as the King and Queen stood before the powerful Queen Safira and her entourage. The king approaches...suddenly, the young boy in her arms grabbed onto her tightly, hiding in her hair.


    "Wait, he''s scared of you. Don''t come closer," Queen Safira said, "Ogres had him caged, he might be traumatized by what they did to him." But as she spoke, she couldn''t shake off the feeling that something was off. How could this small child have caused her, an Ancient God Rank Dragon, to feel pain?


    The King backed away quickly at her request, and Queen Lily stepped forward to offer her assistance. "Your Majesty, may I approach? Will he be alright with me having a look at him?" Queen Safira nodded, still confused by the strange situation.


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


    Queen Lily approached the boy slowly, not wanting to scare him. As she reached him, she gently moved aside his hair to get a better look at his face. She spent five minutes examining him, going through every species and planet she had ever encountered in her travels. But despite her extensive knowledge, she couldn''t find a single match for the boy''s unique eyes.


    "I''m sorry, Your Majesty," Queen Lily said with a sigh, "I have never seen an Emmortal with eyes like that in all of my years of living. There''s nothing on this planet or any other planet I''ve visited, that might have eyes like that." The room fell silent as the realization set in that the boy''s origins were truly a mystery.


    Queen Safira stood before Queen Lily, her mind racing with thoughts of the mysterious boy in her arms. "Thank you very much for your help, it was worth a shot before I leave," she said with a sigh.


    Queen Lily''s eyes widened in surprise. "Is he not an Immortal existence that might have been lost here? Is that even possible?"


    Queen Safira nodded, her expression grim. "He might likely be. That''s why I''ll need to get him tested. Do you by any chance have a soul scanner?" she asked, hoping against hope that Queen Lily might have one.


    But Queen Lily shook her head, her expression apologetic. "I''m sorry, Your Majesty, but we don''t have one, unfortunately. Since they are very expensive, we also don''t need one on this planet. All the clans are friendly," she said.


    Queen Safira let out a sigh of disappointment. "May I ask when''s the next portal to the portal hub? I will have to take him to see my friends on another planet far from here," she asked, her voice filled with worry.


    King Aroc stepped forward, his voice steady and assured. "2 days from now, Your Majesty. The main hub will open to travellers over long distances," he said.


    The boy in Queen Safira''s arms started to tremble again, gripping her tightly and hiding his face in her hair. She felt something that made her realize it wasn''t in her head this time.


    She looked at her arm where he was holding her and saw a red mark appearing on her milky white scaled skin.


    Queen Safira''s thoughts raced. This is impossible, she thought. That knife from that bandit snapped and I didn''t even feel like a prick. How can he do this to me? Have I gotten weaker staying in this realm? Is there a new rule that zaps power? This is bad. I might need to warn Drac right away if something is wrong.


    She spoke out loud, her voice filled with determination. "Then may I be a burden on you and stay here for 2 days and use the portal? I need to get to planet Asclepiu to see an old friend," she said, just as the doors behind her opened.


    A guard stepped forward, bowing deeply. "Your majesties, the Dragon Queen''s squad is requesting permission to enter," he said.


    King Aroc nodded quickly. "Let our esteemed guest in right away. And all of you, prepare the best rooms, and food, and get the best wine brought up for the Queen of Dragons. We have the pleasure of hosting her," he ordered.


    The boy in Queen Safira''s arms squeezed even harder this time, yet not one tear fell from his eyes. Queen Safira held him tighter and stroked his head, whispering soothing words. "There, there. I''ll kill anything that harms you, I swear it. I''m here to protect you, young man. And you saw how strong I am," she said, her voice filled with fierce love and protectiveness. Yet it fell on deaf ears?


    ...


    As the S squad entered the grand dining hall, escorted by a guard who bowed and motioned for them to enter, they all immediately laid eyes on their Queen, Safira, sitting at the head of the table. They rushed over and knelt before her, but she quickly motioned for them to stand and sit.


    They stay kneeling, "Your Majesty, I regret to report that we have turned up nothing on the child," the leader of the S squad spoke, his tone calm and relaxed, knowing that the Queen would not be upset with him, but rather with himself for failing.


    Queen Safira, cradling a young boy in her arms as he played with her hair and face, looked at her troops and spoke with a heavy heart, " Come please at ease, all of you. It seems I gave you all a hard task and wasted your time. Forgive me. You all could be training and protecting your children, but instead, I had you rush around for nothing."


    But the leader of the S squad quickly reassured her, "No, Your Majesty. It was an honour to serve you, and we would gladly do it again in a heartbeat. We are proud to serve you."


    The Queen smiled at him, thinking to herself, ''My soldiers truly are loyal.''


    She then turned her attention to the young boy in her arms, giving him a kiss on the cheek and giggling. "S squad, I ask one more thing of you. You don''t have to obey and can go back to your children in the camp. If possible, can you stay one more day here, if it doesn''t impose on King and Queen Drac? I need to talk with Drac and make plans about departing."


    The King and Queen both spoke in unison, "Your presence is a blessing."


    The S squad leader also added, "It''s our duty and we would be honoured, Your Majesty, to stay with you. If there is anything you need, please ask."


    As the boy looked into Queen Safira''s eyes and touched his cheek, he suddenly leaned in and kissed her back on the cheek, causing Safira to giggle in surprise and happiness. But he didn''t hurt her this time!!!


    Fenris, the Royals, Safira''s Royal Guard, the S squad, and the kingdom''s guards were all shocked by this sudden display of affection from the boy, knowing that a God Beast would usually be met with fear and reverence. But Queen Safira simply smiled and played with the boy, showing her true loving nature.


    Fenris smiled, seeing Queen Safira so happy and carefree for once, usually burdened with the responsibility of protecting her clan from bad forces.


    The S squad leader also couldn''t help but notice the stark contrast in the Queen''s usually strict and stoic demeanor.


    They then sit down and eat food together...

 Fenris Real Look

    As the sun set on the kingdom, Queen Safira excused herself early from dinner with the Royals of the planet. She had been on a long journey and had just saved a goblin clan. The Royals were grateful, as they had been struggling with the bandit problem for ages.


    Queen Safira made her way to her appointed room, where she began to set up formations to quiet the room and make sure no one eavesdropped.


    As she settled in, she called out to her daughter, Fenris. "Fenris, can you heat the water for us to bathe?"


    "Of course, Queen Safira," Fenris replied. "How warm would you like it?"


    She then made her way to the bath, unloading a chest of doors from her ring.


    Queen Safira thought for a moment. "Not too hot, I don''t want to burn the little one. But those salts were wonderful. Can we have them again and remind me to get more." She began to undress the boy.


    Fenris put her hands in the water, heating it to the perfect temperature.


    The boy let Queen Safira undress him with ease, and soon both she and the boy were naked, making their way to the bath. Fenris added the salts and stood by, ready to help.


    Queen Safira climbed into the bath and sat down, deep in thought.


    The boy looked up at her and asked, "Safira... strong?"


    Fenris quickly replied, "The strongest, little one." She smiled at him and he smiled back.


    As Fenris washed Queen Safira''s hair, she asked, "Fenris, is that your full strength?"


    Fenris looked puzzled. "No, Queen Safira. I''m not even using 60% of my strength. Why do you want me to go harder?"


    Queen Safira leaned in and kissed Fenris'' hand. "Is that your true 60% strength or your locked 60% strength?" she asked, trying to discern something important well kissing her.


    Fenris felt her mother''s kiss on her forehead but was taken aback by her question. "My locked strength, Safira? Why do you ask?"


    A deep, sorrowful sigh escaped Safira''s lips. "Fenris, will you promise to do something for me? It''s a very selfish thing, but I need you to do it for me, my sweet darling." She averted her gaze, clearly upset about whatever it was she was about to ask.


    Fenris was startled by this sudden request. Of course, she would do anything for her, no questions asked. So why was she being asked to do something like this? "Yes, without a second thought, Safira. What''s going on? Please talk to me."


    Queen Safira''s expression grew serious, and the water in the bath began to heat up as she released heat from her scales. "Fenris, I need you to hurt me with all the strength you can muster. Use your claws and flames on me. I''m worried about something and there''s only one way to test my theory."


    Fenris''s heart raced as her hands began to shake at Queen Safira''s request. "Um... " she stammered, falling back onto her butt in shock.


    "Fenris, you promised without a second thought," Safira reminded her, forcing a pained smile.


    She then grabbed the boy and placed her hands on his ears, pulling him close and extending her wings out of the bath to shield him from the sight to come.


    Fenris trembles but stands up to do as she is asked. "Yes, Safira," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.


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


    She began to undress, taking off her silver robe and dropping it to the floor, then her black shirt and pants. She reached up to release her long black hair from its clips and then, with a trembling hand, reached for the black bracelet on her right wrist.


    "I''m sorry and I love you so much, sweetheart," Queen Safira says as a tear falls from her eyes.


    Fenris also has a tear running down her cheek, her all-black iris and red pupil eyes glistening with emotion.


    Sniffing sadly, Fenris grabs the bracelet and yanks it off, blood leaking out of the location where the bracelet once was. She grunts but clamps her teeth shut to keep from screaming.


    "I''m truly sorry for my selfish request, my child. I know how much you hate that form because of your father," Queen Safira says through her tears.


    Fenris starts screaming so loudly that the mirror shatters. On her head, two little horns start protruding out, and in the middle of her forehead, a third eye rips open. Her eyes turn blood red, the black iris turning yellow and merging with her pupils, matching the middle eye that''s sideways.


    Long, canine teeth extend from her mouth down to her bottom lip. Her skin goes from tan to grey, with wavy lines in patterns appearing and flames coming out in red colour.


    Loud cracking sounds are heard from her spine as fists appear and rip through her skin, causing a second pair of arms to appear. Her hands turn into claws. A fluffy, long, black tail appears out of her tailbone, catching fire just like her hair. A flame ring appears behind her back with runes on it. Her toenails extend to claws as well.


    Queen Safira hasn''t stopped crying this whole time. The boy tries to stroke her face worriedly, not understanding what''s going on, but wanting to help.


    Fenris cries bloody, red-hot tears and breathes heavily, steam coming out of her body. After five minutes of crying, she slowly starts to stand using the bathtub''s rim for support.


    "I...I...am...sorry," Fenris says before Queen Safira turns and grabs her hand.


    "Forgive me, my child. Please. I''m the one who should be sorry. I should never have asked this of you," Queen Safira cries at her daughter, who is in so much pain.


    The boy looks at Fenris, who now looks completely different. He looks up and down at the fiery figure touching Queen Safira, trying to understand where Fenris is and who this new person is now that''s in front of him. He accidentally pinches Queen Safira again, who feels it once more.


    Fenris holds Safira''s hand tightly as flaming tears fall again. "No, Safira. I owe you my all. I just forgot how much it hurts and the memories resurfaced," Fenris says, looking at her with a serious look.


    Queen Safira holds out her left arm from the bathtub and gestures for Fenris to hit it. Fenris stands up and channels her flames into the claws of her left hand, focusing all her power.


    Queen Safira, cast a protective light shield around the boy and the room, ensuring extra safety. Fenris, her daughter, swung down and unleashed a massive explosion, causing black clouds with flames to shoot out and hit the barriers.


    ''Kabooooom''


    The smoke and ashes dissipated after 30 seconds, and Fenris''s hand was still burning. The room was soundproofed by Queen Safira, so the S squad and royal guard couldn''t hear the commotion.


    Queen Safira was in shock as she looked at her daughter, "This is impossible, how much strength was that my darling daughter?"


    Fenris trembled and her hand ached, she looked at her mother and replied, "All 50% I was allowed access to in this realm." She couldn''t believe she wasn''t scratched or burnt, no pain absolutely nothing.


    Queen Safira moved the boy to her right side and kept the protection up, then pulled Fenris into the tub with her and cuddled her, causing the water to rapidly heat up. She kissed her daughter''s forehead and said,


    "My Fenris, my beautiful baby girl, I''m so sorry for that selfish request. You have grown into such a beautiful, strong woman."


    Fenris hugged her mother tightly and asked, "Safira, why did you make me do that?"


    Queen Safira breathed deeply, contemplating whether or not to tell her, and then she heard a voice.


    The boy said, "Is...Fenris?"


    Fenris placed a hand on her chest and replied, "Yes, Fenris."


    The boy looked at Queen Safira, who nodded, and reached out to touch Fenris''s face. Fenris pulled back in fear of burning him, but Queen Safira reassured her, "It''s alright, I have a barrier around him." Fenris leaned forward and allowed the boy to touch her facial markings, horns and warm hair.


    As the water in the bathtub began to steam and evaporate, Fenris couldn''t help but let a tear of joy fall from her eye as she heard the young boy say, "Be...beaut...Beautiful Fenris." She smiled at him warmly, her hand gently caressing his face.


    Queen Safira, who was watching them from the side, couldn''t help but smile at the cute interaction between the two.


    "You are going to grow up to be a lady killer, that melts girls'' hearts when you grow up," Fenris said, her hand still on the boy''s face.


    The boy rested his head on her hand and looked up at her with wide eyes.


    Queen Safira knew it was time for them to get out of the bath before Fenris''s flames evaporated all of the water.


    Fenris put her bracelet back on and changed back to her locked form, the process was still a little painful but bearable. She then combed both of their hair before Queen Safira did the same for her since her hair had gotten wet in the bath.


    "Safira, can you please explain now why I did that? I don''t understand why you asked that of me if you were so sad about it," Fenris said as she played with the boy on her lap.


    Queen Safira took a deep breath and explained her reasoning to Fenris.


    As she listened, Fenris looked at the boy in a new light and asked Queen Safira if she was sure, to which Queen Safira responded with an unwavering "yes."


    Fenris touched the boy''s nose and smiled. "Are you hiding your power like me, little one? Safira, could this mean he''s maybe from a higher realm? If so, this could be great," she said.


    "I don''t know, sweetheart. Let''s wait and see when we get him tested with the machine. Then we will have an answer," Queen Safira replied as she walked over to her jewel box and took out a custom hair clip. She placed it in Fenris''s hair and smiled at the beautiful accessory.


    Fenris smiled at the clip and then looked at the boy. "And how do I look?" she asked him, but he didn''t understand a word of what she was saying.


    Queen Safira smiled at him and touched Fenris''s face. "Beautiful, right?" she said, and the boy nodded his head, making Fenris even happier.


    The three of them then got up and lay down on the bed to sleep. Queen Safira held them both in her arms as Fenris smiled and enjoyed the cuddles she hadn''t had in ages.


    The boy fell asleep with his back being tickled and a song being sung to him.


    "Night, Safira," Fenris said with a smile.


    "Night, my daughter. Love you lots," Queen Safira replied as she held them close.


    "Love you as well," Fenris whispered as she closed her eyes, content in the warm embrace of her mother and the young boy.

 Late Call

    The next night after Queen Safira takes the day to think things through she then decided what to do now, she needs help with her decision and who better to speak to them Drac¡­


    After their bath Safira dresses the boy into PJs then she also gets into PJs, she sits at her dressing table so Fenris can brush her hair as she always does.


    "My daughter I need to call Drac and ask him something after this do you mind looking after Damian ?"


    Fenris smiles at Safira:" Of course not I would love to take care of him and play with him. What''s the call about if you don''t mind me asking, hope the young ones are all doing good "


    Queen Safira nodes her head:" Drac messaged me this morning that they went out today. I need to ask him what I must do with Damian I''m torn between something so I need his help "


    Fenris continues to brush Safira''s long white hair before putting a play in it:" All done Safira, why don''t you phone Drac while I do his hair now "


    Queen Safira stands up and kisses Fenris''s cheek while handing her the boy:" Thank you very much, daughter "


    Queen Safira walks out to the balcony in her room, she feels the air through her face while looking out at the big city.


    She thinks to herself for a bit I don''t understand how he hurt me and yet Fenris did nothing, not even a tickle. She runs her fingers over her shoulder and arm and yet nothing comes to mind.


    She then decides it''s time to call Drac and speak to him and check up on the young one''s day as well.


    She pulls out a circular object from her ring, lifts the centre of it, then takes out the rubber goo that''s in its centre and closes it, puts it into her ear then it suddenly expands over her entire ear.


    "Call Drac," she says while feeding it her energy and it starts ringing, then it lights up, and four balls float up and start rotating around it.


    2 minutes later¡­.A face appears in the middle.


    Drac:" Greetings Your majesty "


    " Greetings Drac, how''re the squads and the young ones doing after today ?"


    Drac gives the Queen a full report, on how the squads are doing fantastic they working in groups and learning how to fight together, track, build and share. The young ones were scared today being there the first day, the older and stronger ones protected the scared younger ones, but after a while, they started helping fight beasts and fend off attacks, the older ones even sparred with the younger ones to teach them tricks.


    They set up a basic camp with attempted defences, but he walked right past them ''laughs at them''. Some leaders have been increasing their understanding of their powers. All has gone smoothly since he had scared off the stronger beast the day before just to be safe.


    " Any luck with the kid?", he decides to ask her curious


    Queen Safira exhales in the relief while her eyes are closed, then opens them:" No luck, unfortunately, even the King and Queen have never seen any beings like him on this planet or others. The Queen listed plants she had been to and has information about, it a lot of planets so not looking good at all;


    That''s why I decided to call you Drac I think I''m gonna have to take him to Planet Asclepiu in the daytime, but I''m worried about leaving you, my clan, and the young ones here, I promised their parents I would keep them safe. I can''t let Fenris go alone either or part ways from the boy ", tears fall down

    Drac looks at Queen Safira getting all emotional and it hurts him to see that.


    "Your Majesty, this boy means a lot to you, by the way, you are acting and everything you are doing for him. So I think you should go and to ease your mind, I''ll get the squads to group up with the kids, so we all one unit, give them full team work and I''ll be by them all the time¡­'' deep sigh''¡­.I''ll even unleash you know what if the need arises, fight to the death while the clan escapes towards you. After I notify the leaders where you going. What do you say to that idea?".


    Queen Safira gets more emotional:" Ahhhh Drac but you swore on your wife and child''s grave, to never use that again unless it was to complete your revenge. How could I force you to do that, what kind of Queen am I to force a subordinate to break an oath¡­..


    "One that has a huge heart towards her clan, this old man has seen better days, and he will lay down his life for the Queen he holds dear and for the clan, he loves so much as well ", Drac cuts her off quickly


    Queen Safira smiles:" Ah Drac you are my oldest friend, so please take care of yourself and the clan while I am gone, you still have fight left in you, so never give up alright".


    Drac smiles as well:" You keep safe as well, I can see the boy has changed something in you, Queen of Dragons, it sparked something I haven''t seen in ages, so what do you think about that had you worried?".


    Queen Safira takes a deep breath and exhales, then explains to Drac what happened with the boy and how he has crazy strength, she says she thinks she''s going crazy.


    She even went as far as to ask Fenris to try to cut her with all the strength she could muster, yet she felt nothing. She thinks the boys might have done something to her or she''s imagining things.


    Drac has a shocked face then clams her down and asks: " Did you ask Fenris to try to let him grab her ?", she replies she didn''t know how to get him to try it on her, plus what if he hurts her more since she isn''t a God Beast.


    " Hmmm that''s true Safira then let''s keep this between all of us for now, let''s get the boy tested maybe he''s a Demi-God or a child of one, you know how Demi-Gods are to their children", he suggests to her


    Queen Safira agrees, then says her goodbyes to Drac with a heavy heart.


    Fenris sees Safira hang up the call so she makes her way to her:" All sorted Safira? , did Drac help you to clear your mind "


    Queen Safira wipes a tear away before turning around:" Yes my darling, he says we should go visit my friends on the other planet, he says he will protect the young ones with his life if it comes to it "


    "Yay Safira that''s super exciting, I can''t wait to finally put a name to this little cutie ", she touches his nose and smiles at him


    Queen Safira turns around looking out at the city she points at the city:" Beautiful city hey little one don''t you think ?, Beautiful!!!", she points out at the city and he looks


    The boy:" Beautiful "


    Fenris looks out as well:" His language learning is extremely fast, why is that Safira? "


    "He possibly could speak before but lost his memories, so now that he''s safe they coming back to him like second nature or he''s just a little genius ", Queen Safira explains a possibility


    Fenris nods her head at her:" I see that kinda makes sense, well little one I hope you learn quickly so we can have a full conversations with you¡­.Hey maybe he might also be able to tell us where he''s from if he can "


    "That''s also a possibility darling, we will just have to wait and see like I said we don''t know much ¡­.I just hope we finally get the answer about him "


    Fenris smiles and makes faces at him trying to make him laugh or smile but nothing, he face is still void of emotion which makes her sad.


    Queen Safira finally decides to go inside and lay on the bed with both Fenris and the boy, he plays with her face and horns like usual.


    Queen Safira feels something when he touches the diamond on her head like a jolt, she touches her head but it''s gone so she thinks it was static.


    After playing around in the bed with Fenris and the boy they finally decided to go to sleep, Queen Safira cuddles them both close to her and then hums a lullaby to help him sleep, once you pass out she goes to sleep as well.


    ¡­..In a place where no one can find is a monumental tree¡­this tree dwarfs the one Damian met his doom at as the branches extend endlessly. Someone sits on the tree looking at the spores floating around it


    This someone sits up suddenly as a spore goes into her one she''s been waiting for¡­


    That someone speaks out loud for no one to hear except her and the beast around:" Hmmmm to think the Queen of Dragons of all beings was the one to find him¡­hahaha sorry Queen Safira answer you will not get certainly more questions will be asked though"


    The existence looks around and then calls one of her beasts which comes right away.


    " Deliver this note to my dear friend and don''t tell her anything do you hear me", places a note in its hands before it flies away


    "Time to move some of my pieces around the board in case it starts now since times running out"


    ¡­.The Beast travels for a while as it uses special gates to get to its destination as instructed


    Once it arrives it goes to look for the friend who''s waiting and looking at it with wide eyes, the friend takes the note and opens it¡­.


    "It might be time "


    The friend speaks:" Cryptic as ever what¡­Oh, I see...hmmm this isn''t good or bad ¡­. Little beast do you know where he might be ?"


    The beast shakes its head at her since its not allowed to tell but it does


    The friend makes a puzzled face at the beast before speaking in a gentle and calming voice:" You wouldn''t lie to me sweetie would you ?", she touches its head gently


    The beast''s eyes roll back and it gets super jelly with her stroking it, it nods its head at her now


    The friend smiles:" Tell Mommy dearest everything please and I''ll carry on ", she turns her hand over and something comes out of it


    The beast walks forward eats the treat and then places its head on her palm and closes it''s eyes feeding her images, showing her everything it knows about the boy


    "Such a good beast come here ", motions for it to sit on her lap


    The beast jumps up and lays down as the friend strokes it and gives it love.


    "The Queen of Dragons what a relief she found him and not something more sinister, then we might have had a big problem, hmmm well I will have to see how things go closely "

 New Plan

    Queen Safira wakes up with both the boy and Fenris cuddling in her arms. She smiles and strokes their heads. Fenris wakes and yawns and slowly gets up not to wake the boy.


    Fenris bows to the queen and then goes to the bathroom. Safira kisses the boy''s head and he slowly opens his eyes feeling her moving. She smiles at him, he leans over and kisses her cheek and says her name.


    She then sits up and stretches clicking a few bones and gets up to get reading for breakfast, Fenris comes out fully dressed and goes to the boy to dress him in day clothing.


    They make their way downstairs to the dining room, all the guards bow as the Queen of Dragons passes by them. The double doors are opened for them, and the King and Queen are already inside waiting for them, talking with their guards about what to do. They all stand and bow to Safira when she enters she tells them to return to what they were doing.


    Safira sits with the boy on her lap and eats like royalty, the boy has finally realized that using his hands isn''t polite, so he tries using the utensils Queen Safira giggles every time, then helps him because he battles doing it.


    The full S squad finally shows up to breakfast. consisting of the leader and 7 others 3 of which are women, and the others are men including the leader. S squad stands for Stealth Squad, they are silent assassins that can blend in anywhere with special uniforms they wear and of course their powers.


    Safira:" S squad of got some news, tomorrow I''ll be leaving for Planet Asclepiu to take this little one to my friends that are there, hopefully, I can use their machine and get some answer about the boy, then we will go from there."


    "Your Majesty " S squad all nod at the same time and say


    Safira then sits back and looks at Fenris then back to the S squad leader:" Fenris is coming with me of course, do you want to join Kiron( S leader) you are not obligated to, you can go back to Drac and train with him, I wouldn''t want to ruin your chances to increase your power since the comprehending powers here is very rich, plus you will only be able to return after 5 years with us".


    Kiron looks at his squadron they all give him a nod then he turns back to Queen Safira:" We will gladly follow her Majesty wherever she goes, it will be our honour to help you with anything".


    Safira smiles and nods her head at your clan members, then smiles at Fenris who''s also happy now. Then she looks at the boy and has a thought that saddens her, she''s going to have to hand the boy over and let him go soon.


    The boy looks at Safira who''s staring at him "Queen Safira ", then gives her a kiss and a tear roll down her lips. She then hugs him tightly like it''s the end of the world and this is the final moment they will have.


    "That''s so adorable, Queen Safira you gonna make me cry as well ", Queen Lily looking at them


    Fenris looks at Safira and holds her hand:" It''s alright I know it''s hard but you can always visit him "


    Queen Safira nodes her head at Fenris''s words:" Thank you dear that helped me feel better "


    "Your Majesty if I may what if he''s not from this realm ?" Kiron asks her curios


    "Then I''ll do anything in my power to get him if I can l, she answered back with resolution in her voice

    King Aroc:" Imagine if he''s a mortal that acceded, when was the last time a mortal come to this realm "


    "That''s impossible, look how young he is it would take a mortal a thousand years to reach that kind of power, plus like you said it''s highly impossible ", Kiron stares at the king bewildered by his statement but gets more shocked when¡­.


    "It''s possible actually, there are small tears that allow one to get through. It is very small but he might have fallen or been sucked into one¡­.hmmmm what was that girl''s name again..fa¡­nal¡­he..yes Halei a mortal that fell down a cliff and appeared in the Emmortal Milky Lane ", Safira speaks playing with the boy and can''t see everybody''s stunned faces


    "Sorry what ?", everyone practically asks making Queen Safira lookup


    Queen Safira smiles:" You don''t know, owe sorry¡­.hmmm well it was nearly 20 million years ago so that''s probably why lost in history "


    The King and Queen choke on their glasses of wine. Kiron just stares at a loss for words same as Fenris.


    King Aroc:" Uhmm Queen Safira you say that so casually, we know you are old but 20 million years is no joke¡­ around that time the Emmortal realm was still at war which it still is¡­.how did you know she was a mortal ?"


    "I was flying around the universe looking at all the planets when I found a girl hiding in a cave sacred for her life, I went down and spoke to her¡­uhmm sorted she fainted like 15 times¡­ I eventually spoke with her and she told me her story¡­so I helped her as best I could ", she explains to them about her


    Kiron:" Wait wait where is she now? , what exactly happened to her¡­since no one knows about it clearly "


    Queen Safira sighs:" Unfortunately back then I had no friends so I couldn''t take her anywhere¡­.so I trained her a little before leaving her with some stuff and then I was kicked out of the universe "


    Queen Lily:" Wow that''s remarkable, what did you leave with her ?"


    Queen Safira thinks hard, like 20 million years is no joke she doesn''t have a memory like that turtle:" Hmmm¡­well obviously a sword..some clothing and armour..food and ahhh yes a necklace with snakes around an eye, it had a photo of me since she wanted to remember me "


    Fenris smiles:" That''s Queen Safira for you are always there to help when some being needs it. You are truly wonderful "


    "Thank you sweetheart but now I feel guilty I never checked up on her, I feel so terrible now ", she sighs and thinks


    King Aroc:" Queen Safira you did more than most beings would do, you gave her a chance to live. I think that speaks volumes about how kind you are "


    "Thank you King Aroc that means a lot to me ", she smiles at him and nods her head," But so as you can see a mortal can slip into this realm. It just takes the right time and place "


    Everybody now questions their thought process and teachings¡­


    "Wait could there be more mortals here then ?", Queen Lily suddenly realizes


    Queen Safira nods her head:" Indeed there might be, but you have to realize it''s super small unless they find the gate¡­.


    "THERE''S A GATE!!!!", King Aroc stands up completely blown away right now


    "Of course, there''s a gate in the mortal realm, there''s a gate in every realm floating around or in a set position. The gates automatically appeared when the realms were created. If they didn''t then what ?", Safira smiles at them


    Fenris:" But how come more mortals don''t use it then? , wouldn''t they flood here for more power and life force ?"


    Shakes her head " No No No, yes there is a gate but unlike our one Fenris, the Emmortal and Mortal one is hidden and very hard to find. You have to realize the mortal universe is massive, the Emmortal Milky Lane is like a section of the mortal universe. Now the Emmortal one is just very well hidden but could be found given time "


    Everyone sucks in a cold breath of air now, their minds are blown away by this revelation.


    "Plus I''m 100% sure Emmortals wouldn''t line up to go to the Immortal realm with the way they treat weaker beings ", she tilts her head


    Kiron:" How do you know all of this, Your Majesty ?"


    Queen Safira smiles at him:" I''m old Kiron do you forget that, watched a lot of things happen in my lifetime "


    They all just nod at her in full respect of what she''s been through and seen.


    After breakfast, Kiron requests from the Queen, if they can call their respective family members and friends still on the planet before leaving. Then if they can go out shopping and she agrees without a heartbeat.


    Queen Safira walks towards her bedroom, this time she''s holding one of the boy''s hands, while Fenris is holding the other, she asks" Fenris would you like to explore around the city for the day, maybe pick up some things ".


    Fenris nods so quickly and gets super excited about shopping with Safira


    "Then let''s go we need to buy the boy some other clothing as well since he only has two outfits, I want him to have so much more " Safira smiles at him¡­


    Fenris watches and gets super happy as well:" Thank you so much Safira "


    "Don''t thank me, sweetheart, it''s the least I can do, we haven''t been shopping together in so long and you have grown into a fine-looking woman. I have been an awful mother haven''t I ", Safira sighs and looks down


    They entered the room while Fenris talking¡­


    "No you haven''t it''s just been super busy Safira, plus you have a whole clan to manage don''t worry about me I''ll always be by your side, I love you lots and lots and will always be eternally grateful to you "


    Queen Safira turns and kisses her head:" Thank you, sweetheart, no come let''s grab something before we go "


    They rush around the room getting some items for shopping¡­


    After 20 minutes of getting ready while the boy sits on the bed waiting. They head downstairs to go, the king requested a chariot but Queen Safira declined to say she wants to walk around. They then depart the Royal main gates, of course, the Royal Guards are trailing behind them while the S squad gets their affairs in order.

 Shopping Spree

    As they walk through the city, everyone stares at Safira and Fenris, most notice their attire which prompts a bow from them, others high tail it not wanting to offend them. The boy is completely clueless and keeps playing with Safira''s soft hair.


    Fenris sees a clothing store called E.Y.S ( Emmortal Young Styles) and she points asking to go there. Safira nods so they walk over.


    As they enter a beautiful smell tickles their noises, and bright lights shaped like waves fill the ceiling. The shop is massive with a few fancy people in it. A sales lady turns around hearing the door ¡­


    She is dressed in a stunning red dress, 1.5m tall her skin is blue-brown her ears are elongated with a few jewels on them, Safira recognizes her race right away she is a Swamp Hobgoblin.


    While, the saleswoman turns she speaks:" How may I¡­." She stops speaking shock hits her but she quickly bows:" Your Majesty, how may this humble servant be of service ".


    Everyone in the store that sees Queen Safira walk in stops what they doing and freezes some bow some stare in shock...


    Safira pauses for a bit she''s making sure the boy isn''t scared of her, he doesn''t tense up seeing her, so she proceeds:" Yes thank you, your assistance will be gladly needed, I''m looking for clothes for this one not too fancy more casual, and my little Fenris here anything she wants. Also, do you possibly sell jewellery preferably a memory locket "?


    "Yes, your majesty¡­I can gladly assist you with all your needs¡­ hmmm we do sell stunning lockets, but Your Majesty I think they won''t be up to par for an extraordinary being like you, they are made from Eronel metal ". She stays bowing as a sign of respect


    AN"Eronel metal will be explained later on "


    Safira:" No that will be perfect for now, thank you very much, young miss, you can rise, can I get your name as well?".


    The sales lady stands up straight and folds her hand:" Your Majesty, my name is Sharx ". Lowers her head again but not a full bow just a greeting bow after saying her name


    Safira asks her to show them around the store so they don''t get lost. Sharx then walks towards the women''s side first leading the way.


    "Wow these are so beautiful look Safira ", Fenris looks at all the dresses and robes


    Queen Safira smiles:" They are super gorgeous sweetheart get whatever you want alright "


    Sharx smiles and shows Fenris around picking up some outfits with her, then they head to the changing room to try them on...


    "How do I look ", Fenris steps out in a blue dress with floral patterns on it in silver


    Queen Safira claps her hands together:" Like a true beauty my darling, definitely get that one "


    Fenris smiles:" Wait what does he think, she bows to the boy, beautiful?"


    The boy claps his hands as well:" Beautiful "


    Fenris smiles and starts straight:" Then it''s settled I will take this one "


    Fenris tries on many dresses and pants getting approval from Queen Safira and the boy, all he says is beautiful while Queen Safira gives honest reviews.


    They then carry on through the women''s section for a bit more and Fenris finds 5 more dresses she likes, 10 shirts, 4 pants, and 8 different shoes, the sales lady stores all of it in her dimension ring that is issued at the end of buying the goods.

    Queen Safira:" Sharx can you take us to the boy''s side now please "


    "Right away Your Majesty, please follow me there ", Sharx bows and then goes towards the boy''s section


    Safira places him on her shoulders and points at things, he shakes his head at things he doesn''t like and nods at things he does, he mimics Fenris minus the jump up and down. 15 shirts, 20 shorts and long pants and 11 shoes later he then completed his mission.


    Queen Safira:" Sharx to the jewel please "


    Sharx:" This way Your Majesty"'', she walks off towards the jewel section


    ¡­.The Jewelry section


    The jeweller bows to Queen Safira when she arrives: "Your Majesty, how may I be of service to you?"


    Safira notices he''s a normal elf cross human possibly:" Thank you, can we please see all your memory lockets metal is not a problem and price isn''t either".


    The jewellery bows, gestures to one helper to go to the back and grab something, then go to one of the showcases and takes out all the lockets, then he brings them, a few a small with hearts


    AN: "I''m talking real shape hearts"


    Some are square with a pattern on them, but one catches Fenris''s attention, it''s one shaped like an eye and the story from this morning hits her. The eye had a shape like a dragon, she points at that one


    Fenris " My I take this one please it reminds me so much of Safira ", the sales assistant hands it to her to view


    Queen Safira:" That''s very beautiful my dear, I like it a lot Fenris do you Love it ?"


    Fenris loves it and says she wants it so badly, so Queen Safira agrees to get it for her. Sharx adds it to their shopping ring.


    The doors to the back open as a helper come out and bows then bring out a box from his ring.


    The jeweller:" Your Majesty, might you be interested in this piece ", he opens the box before handing it gently to her


    It''s a locket with claws running every 0.01m distance apart to the back of it, then the main locket is circular, he then opens it, it has a mirror on the one side while the other is where you capture memories and store them to view later. On the back is a section you can engrave something on¡­


    Safira shows a big smile:" This is truly remarkable I love it, we will take these two please ", then tips both the jeweller and his assistants


    Share:" Your Majesty is that all, is there anything else I can help with ?"


    Safira thinks for a second:" A formal clan robe, do you know where I can get a custom one for this little guy ?"


    Sharx smiles:" Your Majesty please follow me we offer in-house custom robe making "


    "Just wonderful please lead the way I want a few for him "


    They start following her¡­


    Fenris looks at her:" Safira are you gonna make one with your clan symbol on it, what if he gets harassed by them ?"


    "Why not, plus I''ll make sure he only wears it around friends and his family if we find them "


    Fenris:" Alright Safira just be sure to tell him otherwise the other races might get¡­you know ruff with him "


    "I will thank you sweetheart "


    They arrive at the custom robe section¡­.but the woman is busy tending to another group of beings, so Queen Safira and Fenris sit down looking and wait ¡­.


    The woman comes forward and bows:" Your Majesty sorry to keep you waiting, how may I be of service to you", and stands up straight


    Queen Safira stands up:" I would like to have custom robes made for this little guy ", she pulls one out:" Like this, please? , can I also get it in green and brown without my clan logo on it "


    The woman looks at the robe and admires its beauty:" Your Majesty how many? and when do you need them by ?"


    "Four please two white and then one in the other colours, We are leaving early tomorrow morning so then would be fantastic, earlier even better "


    The woman:" Hmmm I think I can get them done by this evening, where might you be staying I''ll send someone to drop them off "


    Queen Safira shakes her head:" I''m staying in the main castle I''ll send Kiron to fetch them when would be best ?"


    The woman:" we close at sunset so come before then and I''ll have them done ", she bows to Queen Safira


    Queen Safira:" Thank you very much, good day "


    They go to checkout to pay for all the stuff the cashier is shocked to see a dragon but starts scanning everything into the system than with an even more shocked face:" Umm, Your Majesty that will be 5 Emlane coins "


    AN" Comes to 5,000,000= platinum coins that are 50,000,000 gold coins ". "They called Emlane cause they are a digital currency that can be exchanged into solid coins of your choosing". Each realm has its kind of universal currency.


    Safira doesn''t even flinch as she makes the payment with her bracelet and faces scan/fingerprint/DNA your choice for confirmation.


    Sharx is so happy she''s gonna get a massive payday for the sales she did, but then she sees Queen Safira handing her a Platinum coin as well so she bows," Thank you, Your Majesty "


    Queen Safira then takes them to go eat at a restaurant for lunch, they also walk through the marketplaces and look around. Once they are done they head back to the castle¡­


    "Your Majesty welcomes back, good news I secured you a VIB (Very Important Being ) passes for early in the morning tomorrow. They even opened up earlier just for you so you don''t get caught in the mayhem ", King Aroc tells her smiling


    Queen Safira:" Thank you so much, you truly have my deepest sympathy "


    "It''s truly an honour Your Majesty ", Queen Lily also bows to Queen Safira


    They all sit down and eat dinner and then head to bed¡­


    ''Knock Knock''


    "Your Majesty I have the robes"


    "Please come in I wanna see them ", Queen Safira answers him


    Kiron comes in and sees Queen Safira in the bath with Fenris and the boy, he averts his gaze in respect and goes to the bed placing them on the bed.


    Kiron:" Sorry for the interruption Your Majesty I''ll leave you all be "


    Queen Safira:" Thank you very much Kiron "


    He leaves the room and after a while, they get out Queen Safira has a look and they are just wonderful, she puts the white one on him and smiles at him.


    Fenris claps at it:" Just marvellous Safira, wow he looks so adorable "


    "And what do you think little man, do you like it ?", Safira looks at his face


    The boy plays with the robe and touches it, it feels so soft like Safira''s clothing, he then touches the pattern on the chest recognizing it.


    Queen Safira:" Come in smile at us little one "


    The boy just claps:" Beautiful ", and points at Safira one


    "Well at least he thinks is beautiful Safira and thinks he looks wonderful in it "


    Queen Safira kiss his head and then puts some PJ pants on him, then she goes to get her hair brushed like usual before bed.


    In bed, Queen Safira thinks about the boy and why he doesn''t smile and it worries her, she eventually decides to go to sleep and worry about it tomorrow.

 Planet Asclepiu

    Everyone woke up early to get ready to leave. They ate breakfast quickly as well and then went to the travel bridges together in Queen Safira''s royal chariot, even the King and Queen saw came with them to see them off.


    AN" Safira''s clan can fly through space no problem, that''s how they arrived at the planet and why no one knew they were there even the Royals. She''s worried the boy can''t reason for using the gate ".


    As they arrive at the massive tall building, the doors are opened for them, because the universal travel bureau got told that VIB guests are arriving so they all got super excited.


    Everyone:" Welcome, Your Majesty ". They all bow down on one leg as she gets out of her chariot.


    Queen Safira:" Thank you all very much, rise whose in charge here ?"


    A man and women step forward:" We are Your Majesty ", they speak in unison


    " Greetings, may you lead the way please ", she then comes closer to them


    They walk in front of her and head towards the gate. They tell her the gate will open in 15 minutes at the main travel hub, someone will be waiting for her arrival they have been informed.


    Queen Safira:" Thank you all so much for all your help "


    The King and Queen bow and so do the workers to her saying it''s a pleasure.


    The male officer explains how the bridge formations work and how it is powered by a star with an artificial facility around it.


    But then she says something that shocks even Queen Safira...


    Female office:" It''s a shame those huge new starships are gonna take over main transportation soon "


    "Sorry what now ????, what is a starship ?", Queen Safira asks not knowing


    King Aroc smiles:" Queen Safira seems you have been away for some time, a major peace faction is forming and they have jumped into technology advancement. They designed these massive space travelling ships "


    Fenris:" No way really what''s it like? , do they go fast? , how much are they? , wait where can we get them ?"


    Everyone looks at Fenris practically jumping with Joy¡­.


    Female officer:" Currently the wizards only have them, but they are introducing them you know to royalty. I don''t know much about them just we might be changing jobs"


    Queen Safira:" The wizards no way who would have thought they would help "


    King Aroc laughs:" Hahaa I know right, the new Queen is very powerful and lots of beings respect her we are talking right now about joining the peace alliance"


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


    "Seriously a Queen another shocker, usually the men you know knock them down a little ", Queen Safira touches her face thinking a lot has changed¡­.


    Male officer:" You are in for a real treat then when you get to your destination Your Majesty "


    Fenris shows a questioning face:" Why''s that ?"


    Queen Lily:" They joined the alliance awhile back you shall see, apparently the planet is very prosperous "


    "Now I''m interested in seeing my old friends maybe they have changed a bit, thank you all and enjoy your peace talks hope they go well "


    After waiting and chatting more They all wait at the main gate and a blinding red light appears, the formation lights up and runes start floating around the gate, eventually, the gate turns green giving the all-clear.


    Queen Safira turns to everyone:" Thank you all, I hope to see you again goodbye "


    Everybody presents bows to her and says their goodbyes before all of them walk through the gate.


    "Your Majesty what an honour it is to have you here ", a male officer bows to her


    Queen Safira looks around the big hallways:" Thank you very much, are you going to guide me to the gate that leads to Planet Asclepiu "


    Office rises:" Right this way, at least you don''t have to wait for it to open since it''s already active "


    They rush over to dodge the main rush of every being coming and using the gate, stopping moving this is the main way to travel between plants right now.


    Once they arrive at it Queen Safira thanks the officer before walking through the gate to Planet Asclepiu¡­.


    Queen Safira makes it outside the main building and is stunned at what she sees¡­


    Queen Safira:" finally made it¡­did we make it this looks different ".


    There are massive buildings, ones she''s never seen before usually there are clan castles or houses but nothing like this. She sees all different kinds of beings mingling with each other, one''s that not even 5 years ago were at war with each other.


    Fenris :" What is it Safira ? "


    "It has all changed I can''t believe it, last time I was here only big clans would have buildings like that, look at all this technology as well ", she stares at everything


    All the beings around that want to use the gate notice the Queen of Dragons so they bow and respectfully walk past her, but the travelling building starts to fill up now as everyone wants to use the gates.


    Fenris looks up because it also starts raining, but then the Royal guards cover both of them quickly with energy umbrellas, she asks "Safira, do you know where we need to go ? since so much has changed".


    Safira:" Not a clue knowing them they have a protective barrier on as well to hide, they aren''t the Royals of this planet so we can''t go to the palace they chose the forests rather, that''s the problem they move to give me a second ".


    She activates Soul Scan, now for Emmortal beings a soul scan can go about 5-15km, depending on their rank, but what is Queen Safira a God beast she can scan a whole planet with ease in seconds.


    The next minute everyone''s hairs on the back of their heads stand up on the whole planet at once, they feel someone scanning them, a tinge of fear runs down their spines and yet they know they can do nothing, the being that is scanning them is far too powerful. So they don''t resist and try to blend in hoping it''s not an evil being.


    Safira smiles:" Found you, my green forest friends " then giggles and turns around looks at everyone and says:" Everyone gets ready to fly, Kiron please can you carry Fenris while I hold and carry the boy ".


    Kiron nods his head and approaches Fenris and asks " Young Fenris, how would you like me to carry you ".


    Fenris blushes and turns her head to Safira then says softly but Kiron can hear:" As a princess please ". Which makes her blush even more


    Kiron nods and lifts her into a princess carry:" Then I shall oblige ", he gets her ready and asks:" Is this comfortable?"


    Fenris just nods her head hiding in his embrace.


    Safira giggles and smiles she then uses a bit too loud but strong voice:" Everyone make way for us to take off, otherwise don''t blame us if you fall on your ass and get wet". She then extends her wings and so do her clan members


    Everyone scatters quickly, they don''t want to offend the Queen of Dragon or get wet, after 30 seconds a big circle is made around Safira and her clan.


    She looks back at them and nods then with one flap and a very loud sonic boom is caused, then multiple little ones as they follow her.


    ''Kabooooom, Bang, Bang¡­.


    Everyone in the area has their jaws on the floor frozen in place, ears are ringing, and brains ain''t ticking. After about 5 minutes people finally wake up and get back to what they were doing.


    Kiron speaks while holding Fenris, the wind is blowing fast but she''s close to his ear and mouth:" Sheesh how fast is she, Your Majesty please slow down "


    Fenris shakes her head:" She won''t Kiron this is fun for her "


    "Catch up slow pokes you are trailing behind ", she slows down before


    ''BANG'', she breaks the sound barrier again, but she makes sure the boy isn''t affected by putting a barrier around him.


    "Your Majesty please we don''t know where to go ", Kiron begs again


    Queen Safira falls back again:" That way is a forest meet you there", she points before disappearing


    ''BANG''


    "I told you she wouldn''t, you are just gonna have to catch up, owe and you need to slow down. Your squad mates and the royal guards are small bugs in my eyes ", she quickly tells him


    "Bugs where are their bugs get them off", Kiron miss hears and freaks


    "Hahahaha, no Kiron bugs really!!!", Fenris can''t contain her laughter


    Kiron rolls his eyes:" Keep it a secret alright it''s embracing ", he slows down enough for his team and the royal guards to catch up


    Fenris just nods her head making him feel better.


    Kiron:" The Queen is waiting ahead at a forest section let''s catch up "


    They all then try to speed up to catch up to Queen Safira who''s probably waiting for them already.

 The Forest Elfs

    At the same time in one of the forests known as Illumidoriam, this Forst has very tall trees that are green trunks with green leaves, the floor grass is blue, and the beast in this forest are very friendly only a few predators reside in it, the lake waters are crystal clear filled with life, there''s a few mountains and caves.


    What sets this forest apart from the others is at night the whole forest lights up, everything illuminates and shines even the plants on the lake floor, and the rocks on the mountains with moss on them. It''s a stunning view and many come to see the beauty it is.


    Deep inside the forest behind a mountain range with a giant tree in the centre, lies a massive city filling the whole area, all the mountains have protection barriers on them and the tree gives aerial cover, in the tree is a massive building and at the top section is the biggest building, this is the palace of the Forest Elf Clan.


    King Aerin and Queen Estel are currently having breakfast with their children Crowned Prince Logon and Princess Aeryn. They are chatting away when suddenly everyone goes quiet, Princess Aeryn drops her spoon and starts shaking, the guards move to a defensive formation, but then the King speaks up to calm them.


    King Aerin:" At ease everyone, including you, Aeryn seems your aunt is here, last time you saw her you were nearly 1 year old".


    " Hahahaha, you should see your face Aeryn it''s as pale as a ghost¡­.Hahahahaha", Prince Logon burst out laughing


    King Aerin smiles and laughs:" haha, is that funny because you are one to talk I remember five years ago, a boy wetting his pants and practically jumping at his mom in fear ."


    " Dad so not cool man, I was 4 years old back then ", he sighs and looks away in embarrassment


    King Aerin:" Soooo, you get a pass because your sisters are 5 now? "


    Prince Logon invokes his right to remain silent at this point:"¡­"


    Queen Estel:" Don''t bully your son and you won''t be mean to your sister, I''m sure lots of people are pale right now even adults ".


    King Aerin just smiles: " Guards please send word to the gate, allow the Dragon Queen Safira in and escort her to the palace, also inform the city everything''s alright", two guards rush to do as they have been told well the young ones remain still shaken up they thought the Dark elf had found them.


    ...


    At the main gate after about 10 minutes of waiting the sounds of whistling wind can be heard then a massive wave of wind blows the guards back, one even does a half-back flip as he lands on his tummy. They get up and dust themselves off and then freeze as they look up, quickly waking up they bow "Your Majesty, we are expecting you this way please".


    Queen Safira smiles at them:" Hold on waiting for the slow pokes to catch up ", she points behind her:" Are you alright little one ", she checks on the boy and he''s fine just stares at her


    After 11 minutes of waiting everyone else arrives and lands by the Queen.


    Safira:" Sheesh took you long enough, getting slow I see Kiron ".


    Kiron puts Fenris down then face palms himself, and think is she kidding me not only is she an Ancient God Beast, but I was carrying Fenris as well ahhhhhh how ridiculous. He doesn''t voice his feelings and just sighs


    Safira then turns to the guard:" Please lead the way now that everyone has arrived". Then she feels someone hiding under her arm and looks to see Fenris, so she giggles:" Fly safe ?, Kiron didn''t drop or fly erratically".


    Fenris "¡­.", hides deeper under Safira''s arm.


    Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.


    Kiron just stares and rolls his eyes.


    The Elfs are baffled, but turn around and start leading the way to the tree palace.


    Safira is stunned to see so many Elf and how big the city is, last time she met her friends they had a small town, not much technology, and forestry-type clothing, but now she sees complexes/mansions even, stores, light everywhere, some chariots, small flying machines and everyone is wearing fancy clothing, even some with martial arts clothing and clan symbols. There are some other races as well that are here, which she didn''t expect to see.


    Safira asks the guards:" it''s only been 5 years right, what happened that got you to all this ".


    The one guard replies:" Maybe let the King and Queen explain, they will know better than me I''m just a warrior".


    Safira nods but keeps looking at the Elfs, playing in the streets, jumping from buildings to building, walking around carefree.


    It isn''t a one-way streak, the elves pause what they doing to look at the beings that are escorted by the guards, they have never seen a Dragon before, only been taught about them in classes and night stories.


    They know the terrifying power they have, (Dragens, Draganoids, and Wyverns ) don''t come close in power to a real Dragon, all bow but are worried they might have offended the dragon race and destruction awaits.


    Later thankfully word spreads that the Queen of Dragons is an ally and friend to the King and Queen of Elfs. The envoy continues to the palace.


    ¡­..


    Finally, Queen Safira and her clan arrive at the entrance of the gate after being lifted to the top 180 floors, they step out and see a magnificent palace, covered in vines, moss and earthy colours, there are even trees and flowers in the front garden.


    A fountain in the shape of the clan''s symbol which is a Tree, and in the trunks a knife facing down, and arrows in a cross shape through the knife, pours water from its end branches and lightly sits on top of it. A beautiful family is waiting by the fountain for Queen Safira to arrive.


    Safira smiles from ear to ear and whispers:" Can''t believe that young boy I saved could build such a prosperous empire, after what that tyrant did with the dark elfs ".


    Little earlier King Aerin and Queen Estel, with the prince and princess wait by the fountain, as they see the lift open and Queen Safira steps out, they rush over to greet her, leaving the kids stranded alone ¡­..


    King Aerin and Queen Estel repeat :" Queen Safira¡­Queen Safira..Que..".


    Safira butts in," I heard you too the first time, my word I know it''s been five years, but you don''t have to go giddy, you even left my sweet children behind ". Hands the boy into Fenris''s arms.


    King Aerin and Queen Estel freeze in their tracks and turn around and notice the kids back by the fountain. The king face-palms himself, and The queen sighs at her stupidity.


    King Aerin:" Kids come here and meet your Aunt Safira ". Thinks can''t believe we got so excited and forgot the kids. Then hears a whisper


    " Don''t worry child lots of people get excited to see this old Dragon still¡­.Hahahaha but they don''t forget their kids", Safira tells him


    King Aerin jumps out of his skin and turns to face Safira, shocked she got so close to him, then thinks I''m not gonna hear the end of this from her.


    Queen Estel: "Greetings Safira, how are you doing ". As she turns with a half smile at Safira


    Safira:" Greetings Estel, I''m good now that I finally see my friend''s faces, but said my kids weren''t with them and abandon left to fend for themselves ", grins evilly


    King Aerin and Queen Estel think at the same time we are screwed now.


    Prince Logon and Princess Aeryn finally arrive by their dad''s sides, nervously the princess hides half behind her dad. The prince bows to Queen Safira, but before he''s even lowered his eyes a hand grabs his face.


    Queen Safira is kneeling in front of him, looking into his gorgeous eyes so hazel that the autumn fall can''t beat. She then plants a long kiss on his cheek and hugs him. He''s in a complete state of stupor, his body reacts out of instinct and hugs her back. After 2 minutes of hugging, Safira stands and walks to Princess Aeryn and also kneels.


    Queen Safira:" Hello, Aeryn I''m your aunt Safira, you were weeeee big ''hand gesture her size'' the last time I saw you, have you grown into a stunning little girl, would you please not break my heart, give your aunt a big hug and a kiss pretty please ", she opens her arms, makes adorable dragon eyes and puts on a wonderful smile "


    Princess Aeryn, holding her father''s hand looks up at him, he gives her a nod and pushes her forward into Safira''s embrace, she moves her hands around her back, but suddenly they hit something making her eyes bulge in fear," A..I..I..ammm..sorry", she says to Queen Safira.


    Queen Safira giggles," Haha, don''t be my sweet Aeryn, your dad did the same thing when he was small, with a little fall on his butt included...Hahaha ".


    King Aerin blushes and hides his face by looking up and whistling. ''phweeee''


    Princess Aeryn giggles as well, "Really dad did that ? ".


    "You bet, was the funniest thing ever, he even beg for mer¡­" she gets cut off


    King Aerin:" Alright that''s enough storytelling, don''t I get a hug ".


    Safira sighed'' ahhhh'', "Fine come here, my boy ". Kisses him on the cheek and hugs him tightly, then whispers "I missed you so much ".


    Queen Estel walked over, standing by the kids and hears what Safira said and sneered.


    After Queen Safira is done with King Aerin, she leans in and gives Queen Estel a hug and kiss as well. Telling her she hopes King Aerin hasn''t been a pain in the ass and has been doing a good job otherwise she will kick his ass, which makes Queen Estel laugh and nod to save her husband an ass whipping.


    King Aerin:" I''m glad you are here Safira but what brings you so early are the young dragons alright, please tell me you aren''t training here in our forest ".


    Queen Safira turns around and signals everyone to approach:" Everything''s fine with the young ones, what you gonna do if we are ''evil grin''¡­.hahaha no we are on our usual planet Parcae, your planets for nature trying which doesn''t require combat ''rolls eyes'', "


    Just then she feels a pull on her hair and shoulders and knows who it is, she turns and grabs the boy from Fenris¡­..


    " I''ve come because of him, let''s talk to someone else where we can sit, it will be a long story".


    King Aerin nods and tells his guards to prepare some rooms, then tells everyone lets to go into the courtyard it''s bigger and can seat everyone.


    They proceed to make their way to the courtyard, his children ask Safira all kinds of questions as they walk there like "What''s it like to fly", "How strong are you ", and "What''s the Beast Domain like ", "Can they ever visit there ", " How big is her real dragon form ".


    Queen Safira answer all the questions well playing with them a little and joking, the boy just looks around the palace and plays with Safira''s hair.

 Boys Identity

    Finally, after 25 minutes of walking and admiring some beautiful trees and statues, they arrive at the big courtyard. They all get seated and comfortable, Kiron excuses himself he''s gonna report to Drac, to make sure everything is well on their side, and tell him that they have arrived.


    King Aerin looks at the boy then at Queen Safira then jokes:" Don''t tell me the most powerful Dragon sired a child, the other Ancient God Beast must be freaking out then? ", then laughs a little


    Queen Safira, smiles at King Aerin:" Like any man would be worthy of me, no it''s a long story let me explain, but first children can you show Fenris around the place". They agree with excitement and Safira thanks Fenris for taking them away.


    Safira then proceeds to tell them all the events that occurred since she arrived, how she went out for recon before the clan members ventured into the forest, and stumbled on to ogres she gets mad releasing a little aura, but retracts it quickly, then explains how she saw one eating a freshly killed child, Also there were bones everywhere of all kinds of species.


    She then tells them how she slaughtered all of them and wishes she could do it again. Then she found him in a cage probably their next meal, she kisses him saying thank goodness I saved him.


    Then she set out on trying to find the boy''s home and kin that might be like him. The King and Queen had never seen someone like him anywhere even on some other worlds they had visited. So she decided to head here and ask them for help¡­


    King Aerin and Queen Estel, are shocked to the core by the story Safira just told them, only real monsters would do that to kids.


    "That''s truly horrible what foul monsters honestly, to hurt children I can''t believe it ", Queen Estel shows a disgusted face


    King Aerin also has a disgusted face:" I can''t believe it that poor child shame man, he must have been through so much in his short life "


    "I know that''s why I really wanna find out who he is and what''s his race, he deserves to have something stable ", Queen Safira sighs and looks at him


    King Aerin pulls a tablet out¡­


    "What''s that Aerin ? ", she looks at him


    King Aerin smiles at her:" Our new peace treaty gets us these, they have all the races, beasts and monsters in it. Also Plants, trees, dangerous plants, it''s amazing if a planet is on here we have it all "


    He starts looking up possible races that have his looks.


    "Those eyes are extraordinary they captivate you and draw you in it''s remarkable. I wonder what lineage he has ", Queen Estel stares mesmerized by them


    Queen Safira:" I don''t know I''ve never seen an Immortal with eyes like that, nor a high-ranking God. He might be a son of a new God though or we think a mortal "


    "A mortal no way how? , there''s no way a mortal child could make it to this realm so quickly ", King Aerin looks up at that word questioning it


    "It''s possible though a small percentage chance it''s still possible ", she tells them


    "Dammit nothing on the database ", King Aerin gets frustrated at the tablet


    Queen Safira gets sad but she didn''t think it would work:" That''s why I think we might need to use your soul scanner, so please could we use it "


    King Aerin stands up:" Of course we can it would be my pleasure to find out information on this boy "


    The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.


    "Thank you so much it means the world to me, all I wanna do is help this cute little boy find a home ", she gets up


    Queen Estel smiles:" No thanks required darling Safira you are family and have done so much for this family as well, we are glad to finally be able to return the favours you have done for us ", she takes her arm and walks with her


    King Aerin leads the way through the castle, to the soul scanner they have in the laboratory.


    When all the races started mixing and no one knew who was who, the top Immortal races decided to come together and take samples of all the races, after years of research, testing and analysis of blood samples and studying bodies, they created a device that reads everything about an existence, even the higher realms were added to the data later on.


    When races mixed they didn''t know what attribute they would have inherited, or what their powers are at all.


    Queen Safira:" Wow this castle is so beautiful, truly one with nature and the artwork is fantastic "


    "Thank you Safira, I painted the pictures well King Aerin did the house design ", turns to smile at Safira


    "Well I commend you on a job well ", Queen Safira smiles back at Queen Estel


    Queen Estel:" Thanks, come look at this lovely one it has you in it ", she goes into one of the rooms¡­


    King Aerin points at the massive painting in his office, he then goes to the desk to get the machine''s master key.


    Queen Safira goes to the painting and stares at it for a while admiring the artwork in front of her ¡­..


    The painting is of the main war Queen Safira fought with Prince Aerin when he was younger, it shows her in a massive opening with all the evil elfs dead, including King Aerin''s father. In the background is the two moons reflecting her white beautiful light.


    All the elfs are cheering since they have won the war and Queen Safira had killed King Aerin''s evil father.


    "Wow this is magnificent work Queen Estel, it shows exactly what happened, how do you remember such detail, darling "


    Queen Estel smiles:" Because that was the greatest day of my life, you not only saved my future clan but also helped me to fall in love with King Aerin "


    "You jest¡­all I did was fight that day for a child I raised and to get rid of an evil prick and his forces "


    Fenris looks at the painting and is blown away but the sight she sees:" Safira was that you, I''ve never seen you fight a war before usually just small fries. I can''t imagine you losing through "


    Queen Safira laughs:" Hahaha thank you, I was quite the fighter back in my day sweetheart "


    King Aerin comes and stands next to Queen Safira holding the key ¡­.


    "Thank you for everything Safira, if you hadn''t taught me I might if been taken away or killed ", he smiles at her


    Queen Safira leans on him:" Anything for that little elf that wouldn''t give up trying to hold that big sword "


    "Wanna see the gallery Safira ?", Queen Estel asks


    Queen Safira looks at her and nods her head, so Queen Estel leads the way to the art gallery.


    Once they arrive they walk around and Queen Safira admires all the paintings and sculptures in the room.


    Some of them are memories of the past well others are just random panting Queen Estel has done ¡­.


    Queen Safira:" Queen Estel could I trouble you for a panting, I would like one of you all in my castle on the wall "


    "No problem at all, would you like to be in it as well ? ", she starts thinking of different ideas on the spot


    Queen Safira thinks for a bit:" Hmmmm yes that would be wonderful, also could I get a picture of this young one, including me and Fenris poss


    "Safira please no, I would look terrible in it anything but that ", Fenris hides in embarrassment


    Queen Safira just giggles:" Hehehe, don''t listen to her please with all three of us as well "


    "No problem I would love to do it "


    Queen Safira:" You hear that cutie I''m gonna have a picture of you with me because I never want to forget you "


    King Aerin:" That''s so sweet, I''m sure it will look wonderful¡­'' claps his hands together''¡­.now why don''t we put a name to that painting "


    "Yes please I would love that, I''m dying to find out more about him "


    King Aerin motions for them to leave, which they do and start walking towards the laboratory¡­


    They finally arrive in the laboratory with all the equipment, and he tells Safira to place the boy on the table the machine needs to scan him for 5 minutes so it''s better if he lies down.


    She walks to the table and lies him down and gives him a kiss on the forehead:" Will you be brave for me and wait here ". Then walks back a little and holds her hand up, showing him she isn''t going anywhere.


    The King starts applying suction cups and symbols on the boy''s chest. He doesn''t move just stares at Safira as she smiles at him.


    Queen Estel:" You care for the boy a lot, I can see it in your eyes you will kill anything if they harm the boy won''t you ?".


    Queen Safira looks at the boy and then at Estel:" I''ll do worse than kill that being, I''ll wipe their race off every realm and universe ", she doesn''t even blink when she says that.


    The King and Queen feel a chill run down their spines¡­.


    At that moment the children with Fenris walk in saying " And here is our lab¡­ owe mom and dad you are here how come? ". Then they see the boy on the table and get excited because they know them about to start a full scan.


    They ask "Can we please stay and see, we love watching the machine work ".


    Safira nods and says " You can stay but be quiet don''t wanna scare him alright ", she makes a shhh gesture to them


    " All is set let''s start the scan ", King Aerin then taps runes on the device and it starts up. The starting sound frightens the boy but he calms seeing Safira is still smiling at him.


    5 minutes later a ding sound goes off, telling them it''s done


    King Aerin transfers the data to the projection screen, well Safira checks up on the boy making sure he''s alright ¡­


    Then she hears Aerin''s voice:" This is impossible, how can this be something must be wrong ". Safira turns to see the screen.

    King Aerin:" No there must have been a mistake here "


    "A mistake darling no way that''s true now ", Queen Estel comments as well

 Not Right!!!

    Queen Safira, King Aerin, Queen Estel, Fenris, and even the royal guard just stand and stare. The children keep pulling their dad''s shirt asking what''s wrong¡­but no one will answer them because they don''t even understand¡­


    "Darling I think run the test again it must have glitched", Queen Estel suggested because sometimes that happens


    King Aerin moves not saying a word and starts the machine again¡­but the boy moves since Queen Safira not looking at him anymore¡­.


    "Safira can you possibly hold him still again please, let me run it to be sure ", King Aerin snaps Queen Safira out of it


    She turns around and cuddles the boy¡­but this time she can''t find the heart to smile at him¡­ she just feels a rage building up in her at what she has seen.


    Fenris tries to console her but she doesn''t listen, Queen Safira thinks all different kinds of thoughts¡­her mind runs wild trying to figure out how that could be possible¡­wait it might not be¡­it better not be


    After a long 5 minutes that felt like an eternity, the ding sound comes, and King Aerin transfers the results to the screen again. Queen Safira doesn''t wait this time and turns around in a hurry holding the boy close to her¡­.


    When the results show nothing had changed it''s all the same again¡­this time everyone is speechless since one error is possible but another one is not¡­.


    King Aerin finally decided to speak," Safira, I''m not that old and haven''t experienced much, but you are older since the dawn of time, what is that? who could do that to a child? how is he even still alive with that kind of¡­I don''t have words for it".


    Queen Safira holds Damian close and a tear falls on her face:" What sick existence would do this to a child, no I know only a God could place such a supreme hex on a child, and a fucken dark god at that since it''s a hex art"


    Queen Safira released her aura and extends her wings outwards, sending everyone flying away from her. Her aura keeps resonating and covers the whole forest in seconds and keeps expanding¡­.


    At the same time, Kiron who was still talking with Drac feels the Queen''s aura and recognizes it so he starts warping as fast as he can to her well still talking with Drac.


    Drac keeps asking him what''s wrong¡­what''s going on, and he tells him the Queen is going Nova for sure with this energy signature.


    He finally appears in front of her by tracking her aura. Sees the Queen''s wings are generating white light and are rising in power so rapidly so he decides to act fast¡­.before there''s nothing left of the world¡­.


    Pulls out a god formation throws it on the floor by the Queen''s feet and yells close your eyes or you will never see anything ever again.


    Everyone does as they are told some of the soldiers even crouch and wrap their wings around them.


    Nothing is heard no explosions nothing, the formation starts lightly up with Queen Safira''s energy powering it, and ruins start to glow brighter and brighter as the bridge is completed.


    Then the formation keeps sucking in her energy and expelling it onto the connected formation in space that is facing a lone star without planets around it¡­


    They set it up when they arrived since they knew sometimes Queen Safira can lose her mind and do this in real anger. After 15 minutes the heat and light slowly die down¡­.but that star is destroyed completely from her energy torn to pieces and dying, its light will slowly fade to nothing.


    Everyone slowly opens their eyes in the room but is still cautious about not becoming blinded. King Aerin and Queen Estel don''t let the children''s eyes go, well some guards don''t open their eyes at all till Kiron gives the all-clear.

    Drac who is still on the phone with Kiron speaks:" Is the Queen alright? , what''s going on?


    Kiron slowly looks at the Queen and sees the Queen holding the boy, her face is of pure anger the kind that got the saying "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned"


    He trembles but answers Drac, Drac then orders him to put her on now, and he walks over so slowly shaking, a leader of the stealth force is scared right now since his powers are darkness. Safira just stands and stares at the stats cracking her knuckles as she makes a fist.


    Kiron:" Your....Your¡­Your Majesty, Drac wants to talk to you ". In his hand, he''s holding the ear pierced and disk with the hologram trembling.


    She doesn''t even look at him she reaches for the stuff and puts the earpiece in her ear and listens¡­


    Drac:" Safira what''s wrong darling, please breathe and talk to me I''m here for you", he tries speaking nicely to her to get her out of her mindset since he knows where it''s at right now.


    " I''m gonna go God hunting ", doesn''t even blink and waver in her words and says them with full conviction


    Drac starts sweating this is no joking matter, and Safira is no light word speaker in this state:" Queen Safira please explain to me what''s wrong let me the help I''ll come to you¡­.I will tell the clan members it''s time for nature training early combat is on hold ...wait for me to come to you and we will speak please"


    Queen Safira exhales very loudly " You have a day the..", she stops as she feels someone touch her face it''s so soft and delicate and hears.


    Damian smiling:" Safira so¡­beautiful¡­light¡­.brighter please"


    Queen Safira then falls to her knees, she looks at his hands they are all burnt, his face is burnt as well, some of his hair is missing, clothing is mostly gone. She starts crying as tears fall," What¡­..What have I done I hurt you my sweetie¡­no no no please no¡­"


    Kiron looks at them both and says:" How can he still see, why''s he not crying in pain or anything what''s going on ". Everyone stares at Damian puzzled as well then they hear cracking sounds coming from Damian.


    Everyone''s jaws dropped as the boy''s body that is nearly 60% burnt now starts to heal, even Drac is watching


    " What the fuck, how is that possible not even angels can heal that fast or you Safira, I''m coming right now with the children and squads, I wanna know what you learnt about him", Drac starts giving regroup orders


    Queen Safira just keeps saying I''m so sorry over and over again. Only when Fenris comes and holds her does she come out of her lost state of mind.


    Fenris:" Safira, he''s fine to look at him he''s playing with your hair, not scared of you and his wounds are healing. It''s alright you didn''t mean to lose your temper, you haven''t vented in ages and you were just mad ".


    Queen Safira looks him in the eyes and kisses him on the forehead. He giggles back and smiles. Safira''s eyes widen and so does Fenris, that''s the first time they''ve seen him smile and even giggle.


    "Safira he''s smiling how he smiling, see he''s alright I told you ", Fenris grabs the opportunity to cheer her up


    Queen Safira:" Ah little sweet Damian I''m truly sorry I promise I won''t hurt you again "


    Damian:" Safira ", smiles at her still holding her face gently


    The King and Queen approach them slowly not to disrupt them right now¡­but King Aerin speaks


    :" Thank you Kiron that was close we would have been obliterated ". Kiron just nods his head agreeing to the king''s deduction


    Queen Estel bends down next to Safira," You weren''t joking were you Safira ".


    Queen Safira looks around, seeing her destruction her light has melted the machine¡­the roof and some other laboratory equipment.


    "I''m so sorry everyone I dunno what comes over me, I should have never lost it like that is everyone alright ?." Everyone answers they are all good quickly not to worry her, just shaken a little.


    Queen Safira then ask King Aerin directly:" Can you send me a copy of the results so I can show Drac, he wants to see it when he arrives tomorrow". The King nods his head.


    King Aerin walks over to the monitor and extracts the data onto a small device


    Queen Estel:" Come on everybody let''s go have some tea and relax and get Damian dressed, I think everyone deserves some treats ". No one disputes the king and they head to the dining hall.


    Queen Safira just stares at Damian that''s still healing slowly in her arm, she won''t take her eyes off of him till he''s healed. Her heart aches at the sight of him hurt by her but he keeps smiling at her, this helps her so much more to stay calm.


    "He''s smiling Safira, how beautiful is that I wonder what made him so happy and changed ", Fenris strokes his healing head so gently


    Queen Safira looks at her:" I don''t know but it''s truly magnificent to see him smiling, I hope it never disappears "


    "I do as well it is way too precious "


    " So the boy never smiled before? "


    Fenris shakes her head at King Aerin:" No not even once we tried so much to get him too but nothing "


    King Aerin shakes his head in sadness:" That''s so sad, I can''t believe it this poor child "


    They talk some more as they make their way to the dining room for some tea¡­


    ¡­..Elsewhere


    In a beyond surreal place that most plants would crawl through a dark abyss to get to a woman sitting on a bench looking into her lake smiling¡­


    The woman talks out loud" Finally time, after waiting for so long he finally finds himself in the arms of help. Ahhhhh but is it too late evil is spreading like wildfire ¡­'' sigh''¡­.only time will tell then "


    "Mom what are you talking about and what are you looking at ", younger women speak


    The woman looks up smiling:" No my sweet daughter come here let me show you something very important, sit my child and have some tea with me "


    The younger woman sits looking over at the water:" What''s the mom ?"


    The older woman:" The past my sweet child, look that was me when I was a little younger "


    The younger woman:" Who''s that young gentleman''s mom? He''s very¡­.hmmm


    "Cute ? is that the word you looking for daughter? That''s your uncle sweetheart let me tell you a story ....


    She tells her the story.


    ¡­..


    A woman stands yelling out into the horizon¡­.


    Women yelling:" FINALLY THE PIECE FALL INTO PLACE, HE''S COMING BACK AFTER SOOOOOO LONG "


    The beasts and the enormous tree look and shudder at her words¡­


    The woman vanishes and appears elsewhere on her tree she leans forward and a door opens up into it, she walks inside it and goes down the stairs


    After a long walk downwards she appears at a system connected to her roots of the tree¡­


    The woman speaks again:" You won''t do, nope¡­nope..nope¡­..ahhhhh you useless breast ¡­wait¡­yes yes yes perfect "


    The beast in the room doesn''t say a word just stares at her.


    " HAHAHAHA yes, you there get me a report on his place and make it quick ¡­.well you¡­I need information on the Beast Domain now and the God Sector Empires¡­. hmm and also¡­.


    She then explains to the beast what else she wants before leaving the room to go do other stuff.

 Calming Tea Time

    Everyone is sitting at the table eating and drinking an elf tea blend that helps calm the mind. They are so thankful the elfs have tea like this, they don''t know if they would sleep tonight without it.


    The fear of death puts a new lease on life for them. Queen Safira is still holding Damian that is now smiling and giggling when she plays with him, this makes her so happy and calms her mind that wanted to go God hunting, she''s completely dropped that for now¡­.


    The children are still a little scared though, which makes Queen Safira sad because she didn''t want to come off as a monster to them.


    "Children I''m sorry for what I did, please believe me I''m not a monster and I didn''t mean to hurt anyone ", Queen Safira gets a little tear well looking at them


    Prince Logon looks up and smiles:" Aunt Safira don''t worry mom explain everything, I''m super sorry about little¡­ hmmm what''s his name again?"


    "Damian ", Queen Estel quickly answers


    "Yes Damian, I''m sorry that he''s been through so much ", Prince Logon looks at Damian


    Princess Aeryn just keeps quiet and looks down at the table ¡­.


    "Little Aeryn are you okay my sweetie, can Auntie Safira do anything to help, anything you name it and I''ll do it ?"


    Princess Aeryn looks up slowly a little sad, pauses¡­.but she finally decides to speak:" An..anything ?"


    "Anything sweetheart, if it''s within my power I will do it. If it''s not well¡­'' winks smiling at her''¡­Auntie Safira will still do it "


    Princess Aeryn smiles at her:" Can we please play later or tomorrow "


    Queen Safira smiles at her:" Well of course lovey, we will certainly play together tomorrow I wouldn''t want it any other way. Anything else sweetie and what about you little Logon do you want anything ?"


    Princess Aeryn shakes her head because her parents taught her that to greedy is bad¡­


    "Uhmmm can I think on it please, I''m still you know¡­. processing what happens "


    Queen Safira nods her head at him:" No problem take all the time you need "


    "Thank you, Auntie Safira ", and goes back to eating a cake.


    Queen Estel looks at them and then to Queen Safira:" Well we finally have a name Damian isn''t that wonderful, what a beautiful name what does it mean ?"


    "Hmmm I know us Emmortal to use it for ''To Tame'', wonder what mortal might use it for ", King Aerin looks at Queen Estel


    Queen Safira then also speaks:" I know the Gods use it for many things like ''Master'' or ''Conquer'' ¡­.but you are probably right it must mean something else for mortals "


    " A conquer¡­ahhhh who would call their adorable child that¡­.I mean look how gorgeous he is ", Fenris says well looking at him


    "Hahaha, he better not be a heart stealer then, since all you women seem to be captivated by his¡­yeah I don''t think a word could do those eyes justice ", King Aerin looks at him


    Queen Estel looks at her husband and smiles:" You just might be right darling, maybe we should think about hiding them¡­others the women might you know ran after him "


    The author''s content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.


    Prince Logon looks at him:" Now I want eyes like that, where can I get them "


    "Little Prince Logon don''t say that your gorgeous hazel eyes are beautiful as well, I''m sure you will grow up to be¡­uhmm I''ll tell you when you are older "


    Prince Logon smiles:" You think so aunt ", touches his face:" But dad says always look for a kind-hearted girl, not a false girl "


    Queen Estel starts choking on her tea as she death stares at her husband, King Aerin just tries to fake a laugh¡­


    "Ha ha ha son you are funny aren''t you, jokes like that aren''t fun¡­'' whack''¡­ouch that hurt darling "


    Queen Estel keeps staring at him:" You want more d.a.r.l.i.n.g !!!!!!!!!"


    He lifts his hands:" I held please don''t alright I''m stupid as usual, and you weren''t supposed to repeat that "


    "Don''t blame your son for your stupidity ", she glares at him some more


    King Aerin just sighs:" Okay I''m sorry "


    "Hmph you will be later ", she drinks her tea again.


    King Aerin decides to change the subject:" Queen Safira what do you plan to do with Damian ? he can''t go to the upper realms, not with a powered rank level"


    Queen Safira sighs at those words:" I know he is indeed a mortal that slipped through a possible crack "


    He adds" I don''t think even his body can take the Immortal Sky River power level", he looks at his wife that may still be grumpy but also wants to know now¡­.


    Safira looks up at the King and says " You are right, Damian is too weak in rank wise he won''t survive the pressure, I was hoping to find his race, but it displayed question marks why is that? then eats a cake well feeding one to Damian.


    King then thinks for a bit and then finally answers " He''s either a race that hasn''t been documented, maybe a new one in the mortal realm " or " That hex is preventing us from finding out. I''m leaning towards the mortal one ".


    "Why darling ?", Queen Estel wants to know now


    King Aerin smiles trying to lessen his punishment:" There are so many mortals born, so those eyes could be as natural as our pointy ears, Queen Safira''s wings on her back, a merfolk tail and werewolphs eyes is a prime example of just natural to his species "


    "I see now, thanks darling makes sense now"


    Queen Safira looks at Damian then points to him and says "Damian" he looks at her pointing at him and says "Damian" she smiles and claps.


    She then looks up and says:" To answer your other question from earlier¡­.when my months up¡­. I have to return to the Beast Domain ''she gets sad''¡­", a tear falls down her eye


    "I will search for answers about this hex he has to help him, I''ll speak to some God friends and the Ancient God Turtle king he owes me favours I''ll cash in. About Damian, I was hoping you could maybe raise him for me please, as you can see he''s been through a lot so I was hoping to give him something stable and secure for once".


    King Aerin and Queen Estel both speak at the same:" Of course, we will "


    Queen Estel carries on:" He''s so cute and it will be our honour to raise him I was hoping you would ask us, I wouldn''t want to see him in the adoption agency "


    " Genuinely do you have that? , how many kids are orphaned?", Kiron speaks


    King Aerin sighs:" So many of the gods'' games have gotten so bad, it''s why we switched to peace now to help with the Dimensional Gates "


    "That''s so sad how awful what a bunch of monsters, I wish something could be done but that god just had to change the rules ", Fenris sighs and gets super sad


    Queen Safira also gets sad but speaks about Damian again:" Thank you two so much, I knew I could put my faith in you both¡­.Damian, you see they are your new parents and will look after you." She''s pointing at The King and Queen, but her heart is heavy saying those words and feels sad.


    Damian looks where she''s pointing then looks back and says "Safira ". That makes another tear fall and she hugs him and whispers so softy


    Queen Safira:" I Love you so much, thank you ".


    Then says out loud:" I''m your Aunt, Aunty Safira to you "


    Damian shakes his head, which melts her heart of steel even more so she drops the matter and asks the King what happened to the planet and explains this peace thing¡­.


    Then King Aerin tells her everything that''s happened. That the Emmortals were losing the fight in the Dimensional Gates, so the Queen of Wizards come up with the idea to unify everybody.


    So all the races on the planet and other planets come together and formed a UBC (United Beings Council), they then worked together and created a schooling system for kids ages 12-15 for all the kids to go to and learn and work together.


    At the age of 16 they still go to school but as apprentices, if they can get one with their skills, or they take a break.


    Then we created a post-graduation camp for ages 17-20, that takes the kids to worlds where they adventure together, and learn different skills, increasing their power comprehension by a lot ¡­.but is currently under construction to become a military academy


    From this union, we have also jumped leaps and bounds, in technology, runes, skills, combat arts, powers, talismans, you name it we have improved it.


    The forest elfs no longer have to run and hide, and no more wars with the other clans it has been a blessing, we learnt so much from water elfs and they learnt so much from us.


    Queen Safira then asks many questions she is completely blown away by the idea. She wants to know how it works and how they sorted out their differences¡­she just keeps asking and King Aerin and Queen Estel answer all her questions


    After so much talking they have already eaten dinner and decided it was time to call it a night. Each went to their designated bedroom.


    Fenris starts running the bath water and asks:" Safira, are you alright ? what''s troubling you?".


    Queen Safira walks to the bed and gets Damian undressed, " Nothing dear Fenris that you must be concerned about, I''ll talk with Drac in the morning they should be here or late afternoon "


    Fenris hugs Queen Safira tightly:" You are gonna miss him aren''t you, I can see your heart breaking knowing you have to leave him, when you saved me from my dad, I was able to stay with you, you cared for me, raised me like your child, I love you like my mother, even though you told me to call you mom, I can''t because I don''t wanna tarnish the memory of my mother, and yet I don''t love you any less, so I''m truly sorry mom " she cries well holding Safira


    Safira also starts crying:" Thank you my Fenris, my daughter you have helped me so


    much it means so much to hear that from you finally, you are right I am genuinely gonna miss him, I wish I could stay here longer with him, but I''m also a Queen and have a duty to my clan ".


    I''m sorry that you hold such a burden keeping the Dark Dragon King away if only he wasn''t here the other God beast wouldn''t pick a fight with you since you are the strongest beast ".


    Queen Safira:" Thank you my daughter now let''s get ready to bathe and then sleep ".


    Which they do¡­.

 Play Time With A Serious Talk

    Drac and the squads arrive in the afternoon they were escorted by the forest elfs, and the King arranged an envoy to as not to cause distress, he informed the council as well about the Dragon''s race on their planet and what happened yesterday. Queen Safira has been playing with all the kids this morning Fenris has been as well, S squad went out to train and advance their nature laws¡­..well Kiron decided to stay close to Queen Safira just in case she gets mad again.


    Once Drac settled down and got the children sorted with activities and tasks to complete he set out to find Safira to talk to her.


    In the garden playing¡­


    "I''m gonna catch all of you because you can''t run from me the scary dragon, here I come get ready" Queen Safira chasing the kids, She grabs Princess Aeryn and puts her over her shoulder and chases the others two, they are running around giggling having so much fun ¡­.


    Drac approach''s them in the courtyard, he thinks thank goodness she''s calmed down now¡­.I don''t think I can go through another War of the Gods, last one took one family I love not losing my best friend.


    Drac Coughs loudly'': "Ahem, Greetings King Aerin and Queen Estel¡­it''s very good to see you again, I say you look really good the kingdom looks like it is flourishing ", then he hears


    " What don''t I get a greeting, it was one temper tantrum that''s all, crises were averted by Kiron as well thank goodness", she stares at him rolling her eyes


    Drac frowns and just scratches his head thinking, a temper tantrum a star is gone my word sometimes I dunno what to do.


    King Aerin quickly speaks though: "Drac good to see you too, thank you very much, you looking older though, has Safira been working you ".


    "hahahaha, you have no idea she''s got me schooling the young ones in combat and giving orders out, she thinks I''m gonna go do something stupid again, one to talk right" then points at her and makes a funny face.


    Queen Safira:" I''m standing right here you know, just cause I have my arms filled, doesn''t mean I can''t whip my tail on your old asses"


    Drac puts his hands up into a surrendering position:" I concede then sorry"


    Queen Estel:" Drac, don''t listen to them you look great ", gives him a hug and a kiss.


    " Wow you Estel are a true beauty of the Forest elf race, is that new golden jewellery and emeralds shining I see, hubby been spoiling you ".


    Queen Estel:" You bet he has, no way he could keep a Beaty like me with his looks "


    Drac thinks jokes aside King Aerin is insanely handsome, his hair is blond with blue streaks through it down to mid back in length, blue eyes that captivate hearts. Blue runes and markings on his face as his main power shines through and is represented.


    Drac:" Your Majesty, may we speak please "


    "If we must I suppose you deserve an explanation"¡­


    Queen Safira then kisses the kids and tells them aunty Safira will be back soon, to keep playing with Fenris. Damian runs to her worried she''s leaving him and hugs her tightly not letting go when she''s walking to Drac, she embraces him again and strokes him telling him everything gonna be alright before handing him to Fenris. King Aerin decides to join them well Queen Estel stays with Fenris and the kids.


    They all arrive in King Aerin''s office they are seated by the table, and the servants bring them tea to drink. Queen Safira explains why she got so mad and lost control. Drac is shocked to hear he can''t believe it so he requested to see the information himself right away.


    King Aerin plugs in the drive and a hologram screen appears in front of them displaying :


    Name Damian.?.?.


    Birth Year: 100,465,514


    Age: 1453 Error current body age 5 (Age Hex)


    Race:???? Error !!!!!!!!


    Ranked: Powered


    Powers: Rapid Healing and Super Strong


    Skills: None


    Combat: None


    Weapon Mastery: None


    Equipment: Locket of memories


    Physically: Supreme Ultimate Love Hex(Causes blood to Stagnate, Heart not work), Scares


    Negative Effects: Power halved, Pain Hex(Pain 1 million times usual), Mind Shattered (Loss of memory when bad trauma occurs)


    Spiritual: Supreme Ultimate Love Hex(Soul Lock, Hidden and Never feel true love)


    Weakness: None


    Drac looks at the information his eyes don''t blink they can''t he''s completely in a daze at the visual display of information it is unbelievable, he''s not super smart but he still has some basic knowledge and this can''t be possible.


    Drac finally talks:" The machine is 100% accurate right no problems?".


    King Aerin:" It works all the time on the coming of age elfs, and newborns, I''ve seen some be faulty but we tested twice though so I''ve never seen before, there''s always a first in something"


    Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.


    " No I''m sure it is all right I''m just also puzzled by this, I mean even I''ve used this machine and so has Safira and it could read an Ancient God beast with ease so is confusing me", Drac just stares


    King Aerin:" I know that''s what it was designed for, because of the massive expansion no one knew who was on who''s side or what they were because dark attributes used backhanded methods as well, this is why each race would get tested and added to the system "


    Drac:" Then how come his name is Damian.?.? What''s with that Queen Safira or King Aerin ? can one of you explain ".


    "My grandfather once told me that''s a title error, it''s trying to give him a title or he had a title like: ''Safira Queen of Dragons'' Or even weapons like ''Fists of fury '' it''s maybe tried to give a title or he lost his title ", then ''sighs'' and...." My father had the title ''Wolf Among Sheep", because of what he did, when we discovered it his name displayed with ''?.?.?'' After we tested him in prison"


    Drac nods his head in understanding then sighs super loud: "Shame no wonder that child never smiled, imagine all his cuts on his body were 1 million times the usual pain scale ". Queen Safira hears Drac and gets mad again but calms down.


    Queen Safira:" You are correct, but after my outburst, he started giggling and even smiled as well, that''s what calmed me down from my rage a lot, I had never seen him smile or giggle before so what might have changed? "


    Everyone present just lifts their arms in an I dunno gesture¡­.


    Drac:" I''ve never seen something like that, I''ve seen a hex or curse be put on someone for torture, I mean there''s even formation that increases the pain by a maximum of 50%, and they only last a day at least so how''s that possible ".


    " Either Damian is a Dark Demi-gods child and that monster used him as a test base, or a new young hex god is at play, there is no way the ancient gods would do this and even the dark beast wouldn''t harm a child". Queen Safira keeps thinking that Demi-god might have eyes like that, they stand out so much how can she not know, the problem lies in the fact there are so many Demi-gods, the gods aren''t very faithful, and don''t treat women or men nicely.


    Drac:" He''s powered, but you said his healing and strength are off the charts for a powered, even divine existence doesn''t come close, maybe the parent or parents got jealous and cursed the child because they couldn''t stand it"


    King Aerin and Queen Safira nod their heads in agreement because that is a possibility¡­..but


    Queen Safira: " Still then one would also have the same healing which doesn''t make sense since that''s impossible"


    Drac:" I''m sorry Your Majesty, I''ve never seen a hex like this as well, even after I ended that dark tribe of creatures that used hexes. Only the God of Hexes might be able to answer you ". Then pauses and looks again¡­


    " Even this age hex!!!!!!!... how is that possible, you could directly make a mortal into an immortal with this hex, Damian might not ever experience death via old age like an Emmortal and lower races...but I''m not sure about that, maybe he can still die but be stuck in a 5-year-old body ".


    Queen Safira decides to answer:" I think he''s stuck in a 5-year-old body with that hex¡­.but I think he can still die though, which is scarring me a powered live maximum of 1500 years¡­. Right now he''s currently 1453, and that soul locks gonna prevent him from progressing in soul power, I could give him a pill to jump to Emmortal rank right now...but it won''t work ".


    " You are right Safira but it won''t hurt to try, King Aerin how long till you can get a replacement machine, of course, we will pay you for everything ".


    Queen Safira gives him the pill and of course, it did nothing as she said.


    King Aerin:" It takes about 2 weeks to make one, I''ve already ordered a new one and requested a rush order on it, it should be here in 11 days ".


    Drac:" Then we will test him before we leave to go home, hopefully giving him more time, then we will ascend to our Domain and do research, in 5 years when we return we will have answers at least I hope".


    Drac then discusses what he thinks they should do, telling King Aerin maybe he should make sure no one harms him, even though Damian is stuff we don''t know what pain he feels.


    Then he should maybe hide his healing factor from everybody, pulls out a bracelet and tells them what it is, it''s a bracelet used in torture against slimes, ghost, ghouls and others slowing their healing, suggest putting it on him to protect him from some jealous dark ones, then pulls out another bracelet that tightens on a bicep, it saps strength away from them so they can''t break free.


    Safira shows an angry face but when Drac tells her what if he punches a kid and breaks his neck out of anger? She ultimately agrees that Drac is right, they can''t attract attention to him.


    At that moment the library door flings open and the prince runs in crying, King Aerin is stunned and grabs her," What''s wrong dear ?".


    Princess Aeryn will sniffles:" Daddy I''m sorry I didn''t mean to hurt him".


    Then Queen Estel, Fenris carrying Damian and Prince Logon come in.


    Queen Estel explains:" They were playing tag in the plant gardens, and the boys were faster at tagging, Princess Aeryn chased them but couldn''t catch them, she got mad chasing Damian and used her silent knife arts with a twig and hit his leg which stabbed him".


    Prince Logon:" Aunt Safira it wasn''t her fault we were so mean don''t punish her please ". As her big brother, he''s very protective of his sister.


    Queen Safira just smiles:" Children don''t worry accidents happen, especially power accidents in outrages I''m a fine example of that one, the most important thing is to learn from it, Fenris is he alright? ".


    " Yes Safira we pulled it out and he healed 20 minutes later, I calculated like you said I must ", Fenris walks over to Queen Safira because Damian is requesting for Queen Safira¡­


    Drac thinks that''s impossible even a high ghoul''s speed of healing is 50 minutes tops if he''s lucky and that''s still super slow.


    Queen Safira takes Damian and smiles at him: "I''m sorry about this little one, but your powers are to sort after, dark ones would try to refine your blood for even 0.01% of it ". Plants a kiss on his head then looks at Drac and nods.


    Drac walks over and puts the bracelets both on his right arm and says something to them "$[#\|=?", they tighten to his arm sizing automatically, then a black crystal lights up and fades showing it activated.


    The bracelets are very ordinary, made from adimite metal, they just have the black crystal in the middle.


    He then asks Safira if he can do a simple test, just to be sure and she nods, he then makes a small cut with his claws, they wait 30 minutes but it''s still bleeding, they sigh and apply a bandage to his left arm.


    Then she asks about how they gonna test the strength one.


    Drac jokes:" Hahaha¡­ guess when we find a dead bully we will know¡­.sorry really bad joke ". Everyone glares at him. "I don''t think we can, Prince Logon and Princess Aeryn when you were playing tag did his taps seem hard?"


    They both shake their heads no.


    " You see, if we ask him to try to break or punch something, he won''t be able to do it I think, he only somehow used his strength in fear like a berserker power, I can test it but you not gonna like my method ".


    Queen Safira gives Drac a stare of death and says " What you wanna do ? ".


    " I''ll umm you know give him a beating, just a suggestion¡­.Don''t", At that comment, Safira makes a fist ready to punch him


    King Aerin:" Why don''t we try the break something first or punch something ".


    Safira agrees and they all head to the training room.


    Takes about 3 minutes to get there, Safira still holding Damian. They all arrive in a massive open area with nature all around, there''s even a little pound for walking through.


    Drac stares for a while:" I said gym, not indoor greenhouse ".


    " We are forest elfs, what you expect buildings to punch, we have to train to move around a forest and shoot bows from trees, swim in the water quietly, and walk without making a sound by moving in a plantation environment", King Aerin just rolls his eyes


    Drac laughs:" hahaha my bad I forgot, we use combat arenas and like you said buildings as punching bags ".


    King Aerin:" Do you think we can get him to punch the tree ? otherwise what else could we do ".


    "This is what I''m talking about, we can''t test it, the only way¡­". Stops mid sentences because Safira glares at him again.


    King Aerin:" I got it, let''s try and ask him to crush a stone, Safira can you demonstrate for him he seems to respond to you a lot ."


    Queen Safira agrees, hands Damian to Fenris then walks to a big boulder covered in moss and with one swift swing of her finger, slices through it like slime. She picks up a piece and then breaks a bit off. She then turns to Damian and points at him.


    Queen Safira:" Damian can you copy me, look here ", she puts the head-size rock between her hands and compresses it into fine dust.


    Then she walks to Damian holding the other one, Fenris puts him on the floor by Safira''s feet and she places the fist size rock in his hands and points at it then at Damian. " You can do it ".


    Damian looks at the rock then back at Queen Safira then hands it to her, she shakes her head and points back at him, he then looks at it again thinks for a little bit then tries to do what Safira did¡­.he goes nearly blue in the face, everyone laughs and giggles. Queen Safira after 1 minute of watching stops him.


    Queen Safira looks at Drac "Well any thought ?¡­.


    " Like I said Safira, I can''t be certain it''s working fully, he could only go berserker in a fear state or anger".


    King Aerin:" Then deactivate the device and try again, if he doesn''t crush it then we know some things off".


    Drac agrees and comes over to the bracket, places his hand on it channelling power into it then speaks the word again.


    Safira then looks at Damian and does the same thing, telling him to try again.


    Damian nods and try''s again¡­'' Poof''..1 second the fist size rock is destroyed just like Safira''s, he smiles and claps Safira claps as well and gives him a long kiss.


    " That settles it, I don''t have to be beaten black and blue fewwww". Then he reactivates the bracelet.


    " Wanna test that theory ", Queen Safira makes a fist at him


    Drac turns pale in the face: " Please no ".


    King Aerin and Queen Estel:" it''s getting late why don''t we go get some dinner, Drac must be tired from his travels and we can talk more about Damian ".

 A Day To Bond

    King Aerin stood before the people, his eyes shining with excitement as he spoke of the most beautiful lake in the Forest Illumidoriam. He proposed a picnic and everyone eagerly agreed, eager to bask in the beauty of the forest.


    Queen Safira nodded, adding that Damian needed to bond with the children and get to know King Aerin and Queen Estel better if he was to be happy living with them. Drac agreed, saying he would first check on the troops and the children, making sure they completed their tasks before joining in on the fun.


    The group set out on their journey, with Queen Estel leading the way. With her long brunette hair adorned with a crown of vines and leaf-shaped clips, her bright green eyes shining, and her body adorned with green vine runes, she looked like a true forest princess. She walked barefoot, her feet adorned with vines, keeping her connected to the earth.


    Queen Estel had humble beginnings, having learned to hunt and fend for herself from a young age. She and King Aerin crossed paths when they were both hunting, and though their initial meeting was rocky, with Queen Estel even shooting King Aerin with an arrow, they eventually fell in love.


    After a long hike, they finally arrived at the heart of the forest, where a massive lake lay at the base of the mountains. They watched as beasts drank and grazed, the water crystal clear and the plants at the bottom illuminating it. They sat on a blanket and enjoyed a snack, chatting and laughing before the kids wanted to go for a swim.


    Queen Estel smiled as she spoke to Queen Safira, "My dear, I understand that Damian holds you in high regard for saving him from the ogres. I doubt he knows how to swim, so why don''t you and I teach him together? That way, he can form a connection with me as well."


    Princess Aeryn pouted, "But Mom, I wanted to play with you. Brother is mean."


    Queen Estel chuckled, "Aeryn, I''m trying to make sure your future brother isn''t scared of us. Come on, let''s give him a chance."


    Aeryn''s expression turned blank as she exclaimed, "What?! No, I don''t want another brother. You promised me a sister first!"


    King Aerin sighed, "My sweetheart, it''s not like we can order you a sister. Damian is going to become a member of this family and your younger brother since technically you are older. Don''t be mean to him. He''s had a rough childhood. That goes for you too, Logon. Be nice to him. I know he''s not a forest elf, but he''s still a living young boy who has been hurt."


    "But...but...bu...ah fine, dad." Princess Aeryn gritted her teeth as she spoke.


    "I''ll treat him like I treat my sister," he declared haughtily, a smirk on his lips.


    "Like a real bully," the prince''s sister retorted, sticking her tongue out at him playfully.


    "I never bully you," Prince Logon shot back with a chuckle. "You''re just slower than me." The siblings bantered back and forth, their laughter ringing out in the air.


    Queen Safira nodded in agreement as she joined in on the conversation. "Queen Estel, I think that''s a brilliant idea. Why don''t you teach him how to swim? I''ll be nearby so he won''t be scared."


    Drac cast a wary eye towards the water. "I''ll pass on swimming. I think I''ll meditate and see if I can pick up some skills."


    Queen Safira giggled. "Drac, what skills could you possibly learn while meditating? Come on, relax and enjoy the water."


    Drac rolled his eyes but said nothing. They all stripped down to their swimwear and headed towards the water''s edge.


    "Are there any...uh...mermaids in the water?" Drac asked hesitantly.?


    Queen Safira chuckled. "Hehe, still a fan of sea beauties, I see", and he received a no from King Aerin.


    Drac remained quiet, avoiding her gaze. Queen Safira handed Damian over to Estel and they all slowly waded into the water.


    The kids ran ahead, eager to start playing and swimming. King Aerin followed with Fenris, deep in conversation. Drac stood back, keeping an eye on Estel to make sure everything was alright.


    "Queen Estel, is everything okay?" Drac called out, a worried look on his face. "He''s not hurting you, right? I''m just checking to make sure his strength is in check."


    Queen Estel held Damian as he struggled in the warm water.


    "Everything''s fine, Drac. His struggles don''t match up to my strength," Queen Estel reassured him. She slowly walked deeper into the water, stopping when the water reached Damian''s lower tummy.


    Queen Safira suggested, "Try pointing to the kids and saying their names." Queen Estel followed the advice and pointed to the other kids who were swimming and splashing each other, laughing and having a great time.


    This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.


    Damian followed suit, blowing water in Queen Estel''s face, and making everyone laugh.


    "Do you think that''s funny?" Queen Estel playfully blew the water back at Damian.


    The two continued to play for a while before Queen Safira suggested teaching Damian to swim.


    Drac jokingly suggested just throwing him in like the dragon kids but was met with a hit from Queen Safira''s tail. "Can you show him first, Safira?" Queen Estel asked.


    Queen Safira took a deep breath and slowly descended into the water, showing Damian how it was done. Queen Estel pointed to Damian, "Your turn." She lowered him into the water, watching his face carefully.


    Damian gripped tightly at first, but soon relaxed and opened his eyes to look around. He accidentally tried to talk and breathe at the same time, which led to coughing. But he quickly learned from his mistake.


    Queen Estel and Queen Safira continued to teach Damian how to swim, pointing from one to the other and giving him gentle pushes. After a bit of splashing and kicking, Damian finally made it to Queen Safira.


    Queen Safira also tried to teach Damian how to swim, but he turned and went back to her right away. Frustrated, she decided to hand him over to Queen Estel.


    20 minutes passed, and to everyone''s surprise, Damian had already mastered the art of swimming. He swam from Queen Safira to Queen Estel and even went under the water.


    Drac watched in awe, thinking to himself, "This boy is not just any ordinary child. He seems to learn things fast. Could he be a reincarnate? No, that''s just silly. It''s just swimming and words."


    As the sun began to set, the queens decided to call it a day.


    The group took a 40-minute walk back to their home, and as the darkness descended, the beauty of the Forest Illumidoriam came to life.


    The plants and trees glowed with vibrant colours, and even the animals started to emit light. The newcomers were in awe of the stunning display.


    Queen Safira looked at Damian, pointing to the glowing surroundings, "Bright and beautiful."


    Damian replied, "Safira, bright¡­beautiful," making her smile and earning him a kiss on the cheek.


    Fenris laughed, "I see a lady killer in the making. He already has the heart-melting charm down."


    Drac chuckled, "Darn it, this kid is already better at the game than I was at his age."


    "You don''t come close, old man," Queen Safira jokingly teased Drac, causing everyone to burst into laughter, except for the children.


    Drac playfully retorted, "You all laugh, but I was a lady killer back in my day."


    Queen Safira playfully responded with a wink, "Please, they liked your money more, for sure."


    Drac simply chuckled and observed the environment.


    After a 30-minute walk, the group arrived back at the palace and changed into casual dinner attire.


    While the dragon squads were either out training or babysitting the younger children, only Squad S and the Royal Guard were staying in the palace. Currently, only Kiron was at the palace, with the other members keeping a watchful eye over the children in their light.


    As everyone arrived for dinner, Queen Safira chose to sit close to Queen Estel, and she decided to let Damian sit on Queen Estel''s lap so he could play and not get sad from being too far away.


    The group chatted about old stories and adventures they had shared and even discussed the Immortal World and its various races.


    The children were particularly curious, constantly asking questions about the Immortal World, including its existence, race, strength compared to gods, and if they had met any gods.


    Prince Logon, in particular, had a specific question for Queen Safira and Drac, "Queen Safira and Uncle Drac, how long will you be here for?"


    Drac smiled and replied, "Another 2 weeks and a bit. Why do you ask, Prince Logon?"


    Prince Logon beamed with excitement, "Yay! I got what I wanted. Queen Safira, please come to my ¨²plairis in a week...ish."


    AN:" ¨²plairis is a Forest Elf''s coming of age, it''s when their powers get a jump. Different species go through it at different ages. Forest Elf are 10 years old when it happens."


    Queen Safira replied, "Of course, we''ll be attending your ¨²plairis. I was planning to surprise you at your party, but I guess fate had other plans."


    Prince Logon''s eyes lit up as he exclaimed, "I can''t wait for my party now...sheee...I''m so excited now!"


    Queen Safira raised an eyebrow, confused by the prince''s use of the pronoun ''she''. She asked, "Prince Logon, where are you having your ¨²plairis?"


    "On the top of the mountain, in the massive stargazing hall," he replied, his eyes sparkling. "Under the 2 moons, it''s going to be so beautiful!"


    Queen Safira smiled at the prince''s excitement. "Can''t wait to see it. It''s going to be the birthday party of the century, I know it."


    Drac chimed in, "I hope so because that Phoenix party was so epic." He fondly remembered that wild night.


    Queen Safira shook her head at Drac''s comments. "Honestly, such a pervert. I thought you were growing up, but you never stop, do you?"


    Drac chuckled, "Hey, I''ve grown up. I don''t do as much stupid stuff as I did when I was a young adult."


    Prince Logon asked, "Like what?"


    King Aerin interrupted, "Drac if you answer that, it better be age appropriate."


    Drac hesitated, but then decided to spin a tale¡­


    Prince Logon listened in amazement as his Uncle Drac told him a tale of his daring feat in his youth. His friend had dared him to sneak into the Immortal Queen of Vampires'' palace and steal her sword. Young and foolish, Drac had accepted the challenge and was shocked at the lax security. He successfully stole the sword and showed it to his friend, but soon regretted it as the Queen herself came with an army of guards to retrieve her sword.


    But Drac was quick-witted, and he spun a tale of having taken the sword from a thief, with his friend backing him up. The Queen was pleased and thanked them for their bravery, and Drac went home with a double big smile on his face.


    The adults just shake their heads.


    Prince Logon was curious about Drac''s friend who had lost the bet. But Drac''s expression became sad, and he told Logon that she was no longer with them. He advised the prince to cherish his friends and family, as they are the most precious gifts in life.


    Queen Safira apologized to Drac silently, and he just nodded his head with a smile.


    Prince Logon promised to follow Drac''s advice and consider him family. Drac was happy and proud to be considered family by Logon, and he jokingly told him to listen to Aunt Safira instead of himself.


    Drac asked Prince Logon about the upcoming royal gathering, and the prince excitedly told him about the different races that would be attending, including the Royal Vamprins and the Royal Water Elf clan, along with some Royal Wizards.


    King Aerin explained that the Fire Elf clan was still holding a grudge against the Vamprins and the Water Elf, but they were trying to extend their hands in peace. Drac was glad to hear that they were making progress in resolving their differences.


    Queen Safira, who had noticed Prince Logon blushing earlier, asked him which vampire clan would be attending the gathering. The prince hesitated, but the queen''s knowing smile and Drac''s curious gaze made it clear that they suspected something was going on.


    Prince Logon shifted uncomfortably in his seat, his thumbs twitching beneath the table. "It''s, umm, it''s the Twilight Moon Clan," he mumbled, trying to play it off nonchalantly.


    Queen Safira giggled. "Hehe, I can''t wait to meet them, Prince Logon."


    "Alright kids, it''s bedtime now," interjected Queen Estel. "You both have classes and training tomorrow."


    "No, please, can''t we stay a little longer?" begged Prince Logon and Princess Aeryn.


    "No, it''s late and it''s been a long day," replied Queen Estel firmly.


    With a sigh, the two young royals said their goodnights and went to bed, their faces showing their disappointment.


    Queen Safira turned to King Aerin. "So why is your son so excited about the Twilight Moon Clan coming?"


    King Aerin chuckled. "Well, he has a bit of a crush on their daughter, Princess Esme."


    "And what do you all think?" asked Queen Safira.


    Queen Estel nodded towards King Aerin. "We''re not sure if it''s just a crush or something more. If it is more, we might talk with the King and Queen of the Twilight Moon Clan about arranging a marriage, if the feelings are mutual."


    Drac leaned forward, intrigued. "Are the feelings mutual?"


    "Yes, we''re sure," replied King Aerin. "The King and Queen of the Twilight Moon Clan have already spoken with us, but we''ve all agreed to give them time."


    Queen Safira clapped her hands together in excitement. "I can''t wait for a wedding!"


    And with that, the conversation continued for another hour before everyone retired to bed, with Queen Estel already having arranged for a tutor to come and help Damian with his studies the next day.

 Drac Is Gonna Die

    "Time flies by as the days pass...


    Drac, the veteran warrior, spends his days honing the skills of the younger generations. Meanwhile, the elite squads are sent out on missions across the planet, with strict instructions not to harm any of the native races or cause any destruction. S Squad leader, Kiron, stays by Queen Safira''s side along with the Royal Vigils, prepared for any unexpected outbursts from the Queen.


    Every day, knowledgeable tutors arrive to educate the young ones and enlighten them about the planet''s rich history. The children venture to the library, while the tutors wait in their private rooms, ready to offer personalized instruction to each student, catering to their individual learning needs.


    As Queen Safira and Queen Estel watch over Damian, he receives special lessons from a teacher. Unlike other children who learn their clan language and the universal language simultaneously, Damian, without a clan language, struggles to grasp the universal language he was unable to learn for some reason."


    And so, the tutor made a decision. He would teach Damian the universal language first and the forest elf language later, once he has a solid understanding of the main language.


    Queen Safira wholeheartedly agreed and asked if she could leave notes for Damian to study Dragonein with Queen Estel. The tutor eagerly agreed, stating it would be his honour to help Damian if he ever faced difficulties, as he did not have a complete understanding of the complex language.


    Prince Logon and Princess Aeryn, the budding warriors, completed their written lessons and training in the art of SilentKnife, a combat technique developed by the forest Elfs to discreetly take down beasts. From a young age, the elf clan trains its children in knife usage, and when they turn 10, they can choose their preferred weapon, such as a sword or bow.


    Damian''s lessons were progressing exceptionally well. Initially slow, he quickly picked up the alphabet and vocabulary once he learned to read and say each letter. The teacher was impressed by his quick learning, as some children are naturally gifted at learning while others excel in combat or other areas. In consideration of Damian''s traumatic past, the decision was made to skip combat training for now, and he would solely focus on his studies.


    As night fell, Queen Safira was seen bathing with Damian and Fenris. She tested Damian on the alphabet as she washed him, and he answered every question with ease. Fenris watched in awe as he saw how much Damian had grown and how quickly he was able to learn.


    "Damian, you truly are a remarkable boy, keep up the good work," Queen Safira gave him a thumbs up and a warm smile."


    He smiles at the thumps up and doesn''t know what she said exactly just yet¡­. but thumbs up are good in his mind


    Queen Safira: "Come on, Damian. You''re so smart! Can you say something sweet?"


    Damian: "Uhmm...Safira and Fenris is gorgeous?"


    Queen Safira nods: "Close, darling. It''s ''Safira and Fenris are gorgeous.'''' Keep trying, okay? Promise me?" She raises a finger towards him, her claws retracting.


    Damian looks at the finger and back at Safira: "What''s a promise, Safira?"


    Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.


    Queen Safira: "Oh, sorry Damian. A promise is when you vow to do something, or not to do something. Do you understand now?"


    Damian shakes his head no.


    Fenris: "Mom, let me try. Damian, watch." She takes Damian''s index finger with hers. "I, Fenris, promise Safira that I won''t hurt Damian." She seals the deal, then looks at Damian. "See, Damian? Now if I hurt you, Safira will be sad, and sad is?"


    Damian: "Sad is bad."


    Fenris nods and kisses him on the cheek.


    Damian: "Can Damian promise to work hard and not give up?"


    Danian: "If I don''t work hard, Safira will be sad, and that would hurt her."


    Queen Safira and Fenris nod at him.


    Damian takes Safira''s finger and seals the deal.


    Queen Safira claps and gives him a big kiss on the cheek.


    The three of them finally get out of the bath and climb into bed, ready to sleep and start a new day.


    Days went by as Damian continued his learning journey. He was now able to count to 100 and could form semi-sentences, albeit imperfect ones. Despite the occasional laughter he received, Damian never forgot a complete sentence or any information that was taught to him.


    One day, Prince Logon caught up to his uncle, Drac, just as he was about to leave the mansion for the younger dragons.


    "Uncle Drac! Uncle Drac! Wait! I... I need... I," Prince Logon huffed and puffed as he finally reached Drac.


    Drac turned around and scolded Prince Logon for his poor stamina. "Prince Logon, why are you so out of breath? Take a deep breath and then speak. I''ll wait for you. I''m not in a hurry."


    After a minute of waiting, Prince Logon finally mustered up the courage to ask Drac for help. "Uncle Drac, I need your help with something."


    Drac, worried about what was to come, asked, "What''s the matter, Prince Logon?"


    "Uh, well... hypothetically speaking, how can you tell if a girl likes you?" Prince Logon''s face turned red as he looked around before facing Drac again.


    Drac sighed, realizing that he was in for a tough conversation. "Why do you ask, Prince Logon? You should be focusing on other things, don''t you think?"


    "Well, you said you were a ladies'' man back in the day, so I was just wondering how you could tell if a girl likes you," Prince Logon explained, trying to sound confident.


    Drac took a deep breath and tried to answer Prince Logon''s question. "It depends on the girl, Prince Logon. All girls are different, so there''s no easy way to tell. However, if a girl is shy around you and blushes, or if she spends more time with you than with her other friends in the room, then she might like you."


    As Uncle Drac and Prince Logon continued their conversation, the topic shifted to the art of charming women. "Hypothetically speaking," Uncle


    Drac sighs he''s gonna die but he began, "if you want to talk to a girl without sounding like an idiot, first look her way without a creepy smile. Wait a moment, then approach her and greet her, complimenting her on her hair, eyes, or outfit. Ask her about her day, and what she likes, and listen carefully. And most importantly, make her laugh. Girls love a funny guy, not an ass."


    "Thanks, Uncle Drac," Prince Logon replied, "but how do you make a girl laugh without offending her?"


    "It varies depending on the girl, but being yourself is always the best option," Uncle Drac replied.


    As Prince Logon prepared to leave for class, Drac suddenly stops Prince Logon with a series of "Whoas." He narrows his eyes and says, "First, why all the questions? Second, if anyone asks who told you all this, you say Kiron, got it?" He finishes with a sly grin on his face.


    Prince Logon''s face flushes with embarrassment as he stammers, "Umm, no reason. Alright, no problem. I''ve got to go to class now, remember?"


    He quickly rushes away, trying to put as much distance as possible between himself and Drac.


    Drac shakes his head with a small chuckle. "Such a sly little kid, like I wasn''t like that when I was his age." He mutters to himself, "I know exactly what you''re up to, Prince Logon." With that, he turns on his heel and walks away, lost in thought.


    As Prince Logon made his way to class, his mind was consumed with thoughts of Drac and how he could avoid coming off as a fool or a mean jerk in front of her. Suddenly, he remembered Drac''s words of wisdom, "Just be yourself."


    But before he could fully embrace the advice, his tutor appeared. "Where have you been, young man? Do I need to inform your mother of your tardiness?" the tutor asked sternly.


    Prince Logon''s face turned red as the thought of his mother finding out he was late added to his stress. "Uh, nothing sir. Please don''t tell her, she''ll kill me. I''m nearly 10 years old, I don''t want to see that day," he pleaded.


    The tutor raised an eyebrow, "And what''s this ''just be yourself'' nonsense?"


    Thinking quickly, Prince Logon suggested, "Maybe I can do extra math work as punishment?"


    The tutor stroked his chin in contemplation, "You''re already a genius in math so that hardly seems like a punishment. How about some extra chemistry work instead?" He grinned mischievously.


    Despite his sigh of defeat, Prince Logon knew that he had to agree to the tutor''s strategy or else face an even greater consequence.


    The next day, Drac learned why Prince Logon had been so secretive. The Twilight clan was invited to the mansion for a playdate with the children of King Aerin and Queen Estel, ahead of his party. Twilight King and Queen, who doted on their only daughter, eagerly accepted the invitation as they were fond of King Aerin and Queen Estel''s company.

 Guests

    The King and Queen of the Twilight clan, renowned for their dark powers, arrived just before dawn at the gates of the royal palace. Wearing their enchanted jewellery, they could venture out during the day, but they preferred the cover of the night.


    King Aerin and Queen Estel greeted them warmly and invited them inside for a meal in the dining room.


    The Twilight clan, known for their preference for blood-based cuisine, was unique in that they only sourced their food from willing donors or beasts. They were not a dark vamprin clan, who would take blood from others unwillingly.


    King Aerin ensured that their guests would have ample blood food during their stay, and if need be, he would order more.


    As everyone settled in for their meal, King Aerin introduced the guests to one another. There was King Bane and Queen Valeria, Princess Esme, the Queen of Dragons Safira, her Lord Commander Drac, the young Damian, and Fenris and Kiron.


    Everyone bowed to Queen Safira and exchanged greetings before taking their seats. Drac struggled to contain his laughter as Princess Esme rushed to sit next to Prince Logon, a beautiful sight of young love.


    Queen Safira was pleased to see the princess''s affection for Prince Logon and hoped that their love would blossom.


    Queen Valeria, meanwhile, was struck by Damian''s eyes and asked, "Your Majesty, where is he from? Those eyes are truly striking."


    Queen Safira, leader of the Twilight Clan, speaks with a hint of caution in her voice. "Please, let''s keep this between us. We don''t know where he''s from or what race he belongs to."


    Queen Valeria''s eyes widen in surprise. She nods, eager to avoid angering a powerful God Beast. "Of course, Your Majesty. May I ask, do you know his rank?"


    "Yes, I can share that much. Damian''s power level is measured only in the realm of the Powered," Queen Safira reveals.


    King Bane and Queen Valeria gasp in shock, realizing the danger this information could bring if it were to spread. They quickly agree to keep it a secret.


    Just then, the call for classes echoes through the halls. Damian, who has been attending classes on his own since yesterday, is making great progress, much to the envy of Queen Safira who wishes to join him but remains seated.


    Drac changes the subject, asking about the Twilight Clan''s residence.


    "We stay on the dark side of Moon Lou. Our castle is protected from the sun''s light, while the werewolves reside on Moon Rou," King Bane explains.


    Drac intrigued remarks on the Twilight Clan''s aversion to the sun. "So you don''t like the sun, unlike the vampires of the Immortal Sky River. That''s why your skin is pale," he observes.


    King Bane nods in agreement. "Our new jewellery allows us to venture into the sun, but we still prefer the night."


    Unable to resist, Queen Safira interjects, "What do you think of Prince Logon and your daughter together?"


    Drac, not wanting to get involved, excuses himself to check on the Dragon Clan. Fenris, however, decides to join the conversation and see how the younger generation is faring. Kiron, meanwhile, has been told by Drac to train, but for what purpose remains a mystery.


    Queen Valeria reveals that her daughter, Esme, can''t stop talking about Prince Logon''s beauty. King Aerin and Queen Estel are taken aback, but Queen Safira is overjoyed by the news. The group continues to chat and get to know each other for hours.


    ...


    Back in class, Damian is learning how to form complete sentences about the ways of the world, talking only about the planet and a few other things.


    "Listen up, Damian," began the tutor, "when your birthday comes, you''ll be a year older at the stroke of midnight. That''s how age is calculated, based on the day you were born."


    He then went on to explain the ranks in the Emmortal Milky Lane, where all races were born Emmortal, unlike other places. "There are main races here," he said, "counting the moons: Forest Elfs, Water Elfs, Fire Elfs, Vamprins, Werewolphs, and Orcs."


    Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.


    As he spoke, he projected images of each race, watching as Damian tensed at the sight of the orcs but then relaxed as he understood they were different from Orges.


    The tutor delved into the history of the planet, sharing how the Elfs had been at war for millennia, each vying for supremacy. The Fire Elfs were losing, while the Water Elfs, who lived on the sea, were the most powerful. The Forest Elfs had only been involved in a few skirmishes.


    In contrast, the Vamprins and Werewolphs got along famously, both being creatures of the night. And the peaceful Orcs simply wanted to train and become strong, not bothering with the conflicts of other races.


    The tutor then showed Damian the world through a projection, pointing out where each race lived and the moons that housed the Vamprins and Werewolphs.


    "I''ll start teaching you a little Elven today," he said. "Your homework will be to write out the alphabet."


    Just as the tutor was about to explain the different clans on the planet, another tutor walked in, announcing it was time for training. Damian was allowed to watch as they sparred and also had to participate in physical exercises like running, weightlifting, skipping, climbing, and swimming.


    As the kids headed to the gym, Damian chatted with Princess Aeryn while Prince Logon and Princess Esme stuck together. The coach told them to run laps until they were tired and then stretch.


    Prince Logon touched Damian''s shoulder. "Brother, it''s your first time doing physical training. Don''t push yourself too hard. There''s always tomorrow."


    They both have been calling him brother cause they don''t see him as any less.


    "Thanks, I will try not to let you down, Brother," Prince Logon nods at Damian, who is about to begin their morning training session.


    The two of them, along with Princess Aeryn and Princess Esme, start running around the training ground. Princess Aeryn is the first to give up after 1.5 laps and starts stretching, closely followed by Princess Esme who struggles to complete 2.25 laps. Prince Logon gives up after 6 laps, exhausted, but is surprised to see that Damian hasn''t even broken a sweat.


    "How is his stamina so high?" Princess Esme gasps, still panting heavily.


    "I don''t know, I''ve never run before so I have no clue," Damian shrugs, genuinely unaware of his physical abilities.


    "Well done, Bro. I''m impressed," Prince Logon says, still catching his breath.


    Coach announces their next task, "Alright kids, skipping time minimum of 150, maximum of 300".


    The four of them start skipping, Princess Aeryn trips up on 70 but continues, and Prince Logon gets sidetracked by Princess Esme and slaps his head at 93, causing everyone to burst into laughter. Princess Esme makes it to 180 with ease, but Princess Aeryn stops at 160 and Prince Logon reaches 300, same as Damian, but to their surprise, Damian doesn''t stop once.


    "Break for 5 minutes then we''re gonna use the weights, two of you at the pull weight and the other two at the smashing weight," Coach orders.


    The weights are not heavy, so they all complete the task with ease.


    Coach then leads them to a high wall and announces, "Alright, let''s get you all dressed up. Damian, this is a magnetic outfit, so if you get tired, you let go and drop. When you get close to the floor, the reverse poles will cause you to float."


    Damian nods and gets into the outfit, ready for the next challenge.


    "What do you think we can reach? Wanna bet?" Prince Logon asks, eager to compete with his brother.


    The wall is 20m high and 10m wide, with a rotation mechanism at the last 5m to calculate the distance. It''s time for the final test of their strength and endurance.


    "Please, Logon," Princess Aeryn said with a sideward glance, "you can win this time. Your last record was 54m, after all."


    "I believe I can beat that," Princess Esme chimed in, her eyes fixed on the climbing wall.


    Logon''s brows furrowed, he remembered his previous record as a fluke. He quickly tried to change the subject, "Alright, let''s climb just for fun then. Damian''s first time here, after all."


    Everyone agreed even the coach who rolled his eyes and added, "Just make sure you go higher than 20m this time."


    "Start!"


    Princess Aeryn managed to reach 34m before falling, and Logon reached 44m before tumbling down, but Princess Esme and Damian kept climbing higher. Esme made it to an impressive 74m, with Damian only stopping 5m short.


    "Bro, that was insane!" Logon said, giving Damian a high five. "You climb so well."


    "Thanks, bro," Damian replied with a smile.


    "Alright, let''s go for a swim," the coach called out. "And then we''ll do combat training. Damian, I''ve been told you can only observe today."


    The group headed to the changing rooms, putting on their swimsuits before coming out to play a round of Hunter N Prey in the pool.


    AN:" Hunter N Prey is like Marco Polo, except you are allowed to go under the water, you don''t make a noise you hit the water or splash it "


    After thirty minutes, they were called out to do five lengths and then prepare for combat training.


    ...


    Hours later, after a gruelling session of combat training and skill practices, the kids were exhausted but starving. As they sat down for dinner, Queen Safira brought up a serious topic.


    "Damian, do you by any chance remember who your parents are?" she asked, her eyes fixed on him for an answer.


    Damian sat at the table, his eyes downcast as he spoke of his troubled past. Queen Safira listened intently, her heart aching for the young man in front of her.


    "No, my memory is bad," Damian started, his voice shaking slightly. "I woke up in a forest, wondering for what felt like days, maybe longer. I blacked out a lot and eventually, some bandits caught me. They beat me up, took my clothing, and I lost time again."


    Queen Safira frowned, her anger starting to boil beneath the surface.


    "What happened next, Damian?" she asked softly.


    "They sold me to an old man," Damian continued. "He wasn''t very friendly and he would whip me. I ran away one day and ended up caught by something strange. Then, a group came and chained me up, transporting me until a group of Orges killed them for food."


    Queen Safira''s eyes widened, and she could feel the anger radiating off of her. "What did the Orges do to you?" she asked, her voice barely above a crying whisper.


    "They kept me as their plaything in a cave for what felt like ages," Damian replied, shrugging his shoulders. "One night, one of them got hungry and ripped off my fingers. The rest of them showed up and started ripping off my other fingers and toes, laughing as they did so."


    The adults at the table released their power, their anger matching Queen Safira''s. Her wave of energy overpowered theirs, her concern for Damian overriding everything else.


    "After a while, they found it funny to watch me cry and scream," Damian continued, his voice monotone. "They started burning me, beating me, breaking my ribs, and even made me break my fingers like this," he does it


    Queen Safira gasped and jumped up, rushing to Damian and grabbing his hand. "Please, please don''t ever do that again," she cried, tears streaming down her face. "Why would you do that?"


    Damian shrugged his shoulders. "I don''t know. It doesn''t hurt," he replied, his voice lacking emotion.


    The adults were startled by what Damian had just done. The children tried not to faint or freak out, while some of the adults wondered how he could not feel pain. His hex was meant to amplify pain, yet he showed no reaction.


    Queen Safira cried even harder. "What did they do to you, Damian, to not feel pain?" she asked, her voice choking on her tears.


    After a long talk and making sure Damian was alright, they all decided to go to bed. It had been a long day, and they all needed some rest. Queen Safira made sure to heal Damian''s hand before they all retired for the night.


    As she lay in bed, Queen Safira couldn''t shake the feeling of anger and sadness. She made a promise to herself to find out what had happened to Damian and make sure it never happened again.
