Your author Amprex Prologue In the middle of a courtyard a man was standing in front of a burning house, crying and shouting "Why!!! Did it happen, Huaaah!!!"that young man was trembling his legs had given in up and he kneeled besides the headless body of a little girl. Her head was five meters away from him"Shira I''m soo sorry honey!!! Huaaahh!!!". Warm tears were falling from his eyes and furrowed a path in the dirt on his face. The raging fire was everywhere. The man''s hair was ashen, and hot, red flames like the sun were licking his bare arms. "Agnar!! move quickly they are coming you cant stay like this please!!" Female came running like a mad, she pick up head of dead girl and was trying to leave it in one peace but in vain, dark-red blood was erupting like volcano. "You can''t be serious!! Desini this is my baby girl I can''t leave her not like this!!" Agnar yelled at his wife. " Don''t you understand?? If you stay here you will be dead or taken, you need to focus on our little young master now I hide him in our secret place behind Temple Sect" Desini said calm not to enrage her husband in his pain and loss. "I cant understand this madness!? Why they attack our sect home?? We are the strongest in this continent!!" To put weight on his words Agnar body begin to tremble more and more, his muscular body started to change. With his back grew spines, behind him came massive pair of wings and the long tail ending with thick spike. All over the skin grew scales as black as night, his face changed, and now looked like a giant dragon head with sharp teeth and claws. His whole body has grown to more than 50 meters (size 2 storey house). The hue of his eyes changed from blue to deep red. "Please don''t go !! You cant fight them, all our family is almost dead!! we must try to get to the city where our main clan resides"Desini tried speak to her husband but he did not listen at all. "ROOOAAARR!!!" Agnar let ear piercing roar and his wings had already begun to strongly hit the air which caused a slowly growing in strength storm. "Hahaha!! Look guys what do we have here!!" From behind them came sarcastic voice. " They are last alive ??"More voices can be heard almost all of them sound feminine. "I don''t know for sure but it is not like we must kill all of them right ??" Speak out young woman with black long hair, her eyes were like snake eyes and her face gave a slight glow as if not of this world. Looking at her, it would seem that the goddess stands before us and all the men led to war with each other just to win her favor. "You treacherous bitch!! Why you did this to us?? Where is your loyalty??" screamed Agnar and charged at black haired woman and lash his tail at enemy in front of him. "Hahahaha!! You cant be serious you are alone here with your family and Flame Dragon clan is to weak to win open battle with my family so to speak, you are even weaker then mine child Hahahaha!!" Black haired woman did not even flinch at all when monstrous tail came at her. She rise her palm to the front of attack and with high speed just cut Agnar tail in half. "ROOOOAAAAR I will kill you!!!" "Nooo honey look out!!"Yelled Dresini and started to change herself to dragon-form to help her love in death and live battle, but hands caught her and held in place pinning her head to the ground. "Where are you thinking you are going hmm??"A man told to her ear and smile can be seen on his covered with hood face. "Let go of me you barbarian shit!! She growled at hooded figure. "I''m sorry sweetie but cant do that, but we can play together a little you are soo beautiful" In the hooded man eyes can be seen lustful glance. "In your dreams you poisonous reptile!!" Dresini screamed and tried to break free from him but he just hits her in the ribs and bound her limbs. She laid on the ground unconscious from the pain and did not move. This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there. "What did you do to my wife you fucker I will kill all of you!!" Screamed Agnar and tried to move his massive wings and go for hooded man but his first opponent attack him again. His tail were only scraps and he lose balance, black haired woman just snorted at this and cast a fire ball with her palm. "You know I cant understand why didn''t you use your fire-breath, all dragons use that right ?? or you just are broken lizard hmm ??" Black haired woman smile at him and use more energy to charge her spell, ball of fire started to grow in size and emit more heat, it lasted no more than five seconds and the fire on her hand size almost equaled his dragon form. Agnar halt his move and his eyes were wide open at this giant form of magic"How did you do that? This is impossible to charge magic spells that quickly!!" "Hahahhaha my little lizard, it seems you don''t know that but all clans have own spells and abilities and that is one of our family secret." "Don''t play games with me you snakeskin witch!". Growled Agnar and his chest began to rise, from his nostrils flew a hot steam. "You don''t have a chance to overpower me little lizard and I will win"Black haired woman said happily and fire-ball on her hand began to change color from red to blue. "It is called cold flame I want to see how will you defend yourself from that hahaaha" She began to laugh and pointed giant ball of fire at black dragon. "I will use everything I have and burn you all to ashes!"Agnar spat with his throat jet black fire and heat from his dragon-breath was much more hot than from any different form of fire that his dragon clan or wild dragons use. Two different forces flew toward each other and cold fire collided with a hot mass of black flames, creating a giant shock-wave and a great amount of steam. People and the dragon have been pushed back several tens of meters, but first on her feet was black haired woman and rushed for an opening in Agnar defense. "Hahahaaha!! and now you are dead my friend I was waiting to do just that for a long, long time'''' Her eyes were shining brightly with excitement. Agnar moan with pain a little and rest of his tail was bleeding more than before.''''Stop dreaming and die already!!'''' Black dragon jumped aside avoiding charging opponent, opened his mouth and spat out another series of black flames. Dragons-breath was one of fire elemental magic but Agnar flames were entirely on another level. Heat and power were so powerful and violent, they can easily burn all the big cities in this region. ''''Wow did you just used all of your energy on this falmes?? This much power is almost like from demons, but our happy time is over my dear'''' The woman take out four white daggers and in the same time, jumped over the reach of the black mass of flames. Hair were standing on Agnar back when four daggers flew towards him with murderous aura, these daggers issued a piercing scream like a banshee avatar of death and easily pierced the soft scales on Agnar breast. ''''ROAAARWHAWHA!!'''' *cough, cough* Agnar''s body flew twenty meters and He collided with several trees snatching them from the roots. His body changed against his will back in human form, and lying on the trunks coughed a large amount of blood. '''' Oh!! guys look overgrown lizard is back to human form again what a bore'''' Said soft another woman who was quiet and stay in the shadow all this fight. Agnar tried to see his wife unconscious for the last time in his life but had lost control of his body and could not move even one finger. He decided to take one last glance before his body dies, on his clan new enemy. Her body has the perfect figure, a wonderful snow-white face with golden eyes and her long straight hair was the colors of pure white. Her perfect in proportion breasts were a haven for the male eye. Brown coat with a hood covered the rest of her clothes. ''''Niraya why are you here ?? You should be in human territory''''Agnar last words were mere whisper but you can still hear the words fill with surprise and fear. Agnar eyes became void of life and from his mouth came out one last breath, his weak body did not move, not any more. From his open eye, single tear ran and fell on the burnt land. Again black haired woman called with snap of her fingers blue fire and cold flame shot on Agnar burning his dead body to ashes. Chapter 1 – Victim Note from author: I will use a * mark when someone will speak in his/her mind. Here you go first chapter I had a lot of fun writing this. :) Chapter 1 ¨C Victim Two days after an ambush on one of the Flame Dragon Clan little village, nothing was left and only the rubble of the buildings that once stood elegantly. Built around the main square where the festival usually takes place on the occasion of the first days of spring. Between the mountains of wood that were once houses, one of the merchant caravans and a group of armed mercenaries, slowly approached the central point of the village. Loud shout rang out from one of the mercenaries, riding at the head of the column. ''''Division Stop!! Lena take two of our people and carefully search the whole area, maybe we can find someone who''s still alive.'''' The commander told, and scratched his head twisting ugly scar on his left cheek. '''' Liz, Raynor, commander Bolrock give an order, you guys are going with me'''' Lena shows a finger at the two figures standing behind her. ''''Fuck!! Why do we always have to do all the dirty work, it is not fair at all!!''''The man with name Raynor began to grumble. ''''God send down a kick to this blunt troll! I should complain about this situation not you'''' Liz punched him in the face and walked away to execute her order. ''''Arghhh!! You bich what did you do to my face, come back here!! Raynor yelled and his hand covered the bloody nose. ''''Both of you shut your mouths or I will limits your drunken raids in the cities, and if that''s not enough I can always whip you for not execution of orders. Lena growled at the two mercenaries and her eyes narrowed dangerously. ''''B-But captain!! She punched my face!'''' Raynor said nervously and frightened took a step back. ''''Your face was not beautiful anyway, so move your ass and complete your job''''. '''' Y-yes ma''m!!'''' He turned around and ran toward the nearest destroyed building. Lena started to do their job and slowly searched the rubble. ''''What a scary woman, she will never find a good man'''' From carriage came a shrill voice. Commander looked toward the fat merchant and spat on the ground. ''''Better shut your mouth fatso Piripi, Lena is one of the best people we have here and if something bad happens, she certainly can handle it. '''' Bolrock hits lightly heels sides of his horse and went ahead without looking back. *I don''t thing so, well we will see in time. *Piripi thought in his head and in front of his eyes reappeared image of the captain and her personality, but immediately stops in place and his eyes widened. ''''My name is Piripi!! Where do you see a word ''FAT'' there Bolrock?? Piripi shouted after the departing commander, his thick body shook slightly and he followed muscled man. Who said nothing and only looked around the main square from the back of his horse. ''''Anyway Bolrock can you tell me what is going on here?? You told me we are going to Red Sun village and what I can see are only wooden ruins of houses.'''' Fat man looked around frowning slightly. ''''Indeed I said something like that and of course we are in Red Sun, but as you can see something or someone attacked this village''''. Bald commander replied. ''''Seriously!? I can see that as well you know"Snarl Piripi and approached one of the destroyed buildings, where smashed potions and trampled plants with magical properties were strewn on the floor. * That was probably a shop with herbs, oh my God! for all the things I could get at least 250 gold coins. So many lost coins , and I recently just put on a transport business. Ehh, I had to master the knowledge of the coin and the economy, which is the same all over the world. I remember how surprised I was when the librarian explained to me the value of one gold coin. How this old fart said that?? With one gold coin poor families had enough to live on throughout the year!!. He always beats me over the head with a thick book when I was not listening. Argh! I hates that old bastard, but thanks to him I know now what this world really is. * ''''People begin to prepare the camp. We stay here for a few days. Clean the area on the main square and be sure to make a bonefire at one hundred meters each.'''' Bolrock said to his companions and after that, dismounted and walked to the pensive merchant. Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon. '''' YES!! Sir.!! Mercenaries bellowed. *Hmm ... ten copper coins gives me one silver, and for a hundred silver I earn one gold coin. merchant life is so hard, as soon as I start thinking about it, I have a headache.* Piripi was deep in thought, when Bolrock pat his shoulder. '''' Oi! My fat friend, what are you doing here ?? You steal something ?? Because you know the dead do not like thieves'''' Commander said with a big grin on his face. '''' I''M NOT Fa...!! Ughh, whatever I did not steal anything, I was thinking of something bad'''' Piripi twists his mouth in disgust. ''''What are you thinking about?? When you first had sex and a woman laughed at you?? Because you had a small dick? Bolrock burst into laughter. ''''Why do I have to work with these assholes??'''' Piripi said softly, and sighed. ''''We need to start moving, why di...!! ''''The men were talking to each other when someone ran screaming toward them. ''''COMMANDER, commander Bolrock!!'''' ''''Why are you doing so much noise Liz? Bolrock asked sweaty girl who looked frightened. ''''Sir. You need to come with me right now, I need to show you something!!'''' Liz almost burst into tears but she bit her lips and looked in all directions, expecting an attack at any moment. ''''Fine, folks Work further, I will have to move away for a moment, as if something happens send me a signal.'''' Barlock and Piripi followed the girl, who in a fast pace moved away from the square and was heading towards the beginning of the forest. ''''What do you think happened??'''' Piripi asked. Bald commander said nothing, he just scratched his thick black beard and picked up his pace.
The three of them followed the path to the north, suddenly in front of their eyes appeared the first tree, and to one of these trees was nailed down naked woman. Liz stopped as far away from this view and commander Bolrock went still, he could not take his eyes off the beautiful snow-white face and her long golden hair, only one strand was a deep black hue. Her legs and arms were wide open and nailed to the tree bark, blood dripped slowly from the four wounds where white daggers supported the weight of her naked body. Under her feet was visible white liquid mixed with blood and her breasts had a bloody scar in the shape of a cross. Under her left eye was another cut. *Never in my life have I seen such a beautiful woman, I can confidently say that it is the most beautiful being in the world, but who could so cruelly treated this beautiful fairy* Piripi asked himself in thought but received no answer. ''''Liz please help me take off this beautiful lady from this tree but carefully'''' Bolrock whispered. '''' Y-y-yes S-sir.'''' Liz trembled and no longer tried to hold back her tears. They walked together slowly to horribly treated victim and gently try to remove the first of four daggers, upon contact with the cold metal, appears blue glow and Liz snapped back with a cry of pain. '''' Ahhh my hand !! This thing burned me!! Liz yelled and her hands started to appear burns with a bright blue color. '''' Silly girl, always check if the items are not imbued with magic, you can take this salve and apply a little bit of at these burns.'''' Piripi said, and gave a small wooden container with green slime inside. ''''How do you know if something like that ever work?? Are you a healer?? Liz tried not to lose consciousness from pain. ''''stop talking both of you, Liz use this ointment and you, my fat friend, tell me if you can remove these four daggers or not''''. Commander asked. ''''I''m not sure whether this method will work but I have no choice right? In general, it is very simple you just have to catch those daggers through a piece of material, of course it does not work at all magical curse but in this case we are lucky.'''' ''''What do you mean we are lucky''''?? ''''Just trust me on this, I know what I''m doing.'''' Piripi concentrated on drawing daggers from the body, and each time when his hand covered with a piece of clothing touch the metal, appeared faint blue glow but then always went out. When the last of the daggers was pulled out, commander grabbed the body before it hit the ground and gently placed it on the ground. All three gathered around and just stared at the woman. Liz woke up first and with her own cloak covered woman''s body. To their great surprise when a woman was covered with cloak, her chest rose slightly, her lips drew some air and her eyes quivered to open slowly. She looked up at the clear sky and whispered, five words '''' Temple ....find.... young.... master ..... here .... '''' After that she lost consciousness. Chapter 2 – Young Master Note from Author : Finally finished the second chapter. have a good reading :) Chapter 2 ¨C Young Master The sun had long since been replaced by the moon, that its brilliance illuminated the path that slowly marched a group of twenty people. The torches gave little light and disperse the darkness of the night, which always was trying to absorb a group of wanderers. On their bare right shoulders they bore tattoos in the shape of the head saber-toothed tiger who threatened the enemies demonstrating his long, sharp fangs. Each of the black-dressed wanderers had strapped over his shoulder runic bow with a quiver full of arrows engraved with runes (their number in each quiver ranged from sixty to seventy-arrows). Each of them had a long sword of good quality, some swords had even magical properties. Most of the entire group stand out a tall, well-built man in his prime, he was marked by numerous scars and one long scar on his left cheek made him look deterrent. He wore a thick black beard and its bald head reflected the moonlight. He was dressed like any of the people around him in black pants, white linen sleeveless shirt and black coat with a hood. In the middle of a group of men, two horses pulled cart on four wooden wheels, where a beautiful woman was lying unconscious. From time to time some young warriors threw glances in the direction of a woman with lustful eyes. One of them even reached out to uncover her face, when suddenly at his neck appeared drawn sword. ''''What do you thing you are doing Raynor?? Do you want to lose this hand so much?? Asked bald man. ''''Ah..!! *glup* of-of course not commander Bolrock. I had no intention of even touch this little fairy. He answered and gulped. ''''Good. We are here to help this woman find her lost, young master and remember We don''t know how powerful this master may be so if you do something inappropriate to this woman we can all lose our life. You got that? Bolrock growled. ''''Yes Sir.!!'''' ''''I''ve got my eye on you so beware. Now go back to the formation and do your job properly, if you notice even slight movement or hear something that is not supposed to be here, I need to know about it immediately.'''' Bolrock instructed him and put a hood on his head to hide his face. ''''I understood Commander Bolrock!!'''' Raynor answered and returned to his place, contemplating in his mind. *This shit-head, he not even let me touch her with my finger!!. How long has it been?? I have not slept with a woman for a long time and here goes the opportunity to admire the beauty of the face of this little fairy argh .. and this idiot is afraid of some kid. I can simply wait until the opportunity arises and I''ll talk to her alone, but first I have to wait until she wakes up, ehehhe. This will be fun* Raynor eyes glittered with desire and his stick between his legs grew in his pants. ''''Commander how long, before We arrive to this temple? One of the woman in their group asked. ''''Soon folks, We are almost there. You see a hill in the distance? That is where we are going, if I was not here before we would have never found this whole temple. Bolrock moved forward on his horse. ''''That''s good commander. I''m just so tired I could fall asleep standing up'''' She began to complain about this hole mission. ''''Not only you are tired. I dream about a warm meal and a cold mug of beer, and then to lie down and sleep the whole week'''' Bolrock face became dreamy. ''''If you want to finally relax, speed up the march then.''''He encouraged his companions and moved quickly to the head of the column. ''''Yes Commander!!'''' Troops responded quietly. Once there the whole time when the moon was already the highest point in the sky, a division of twenty mercenaries on horseback arrived in front of the entrance to a very old temple, which resembled more a trade guilds, which are built in cities than holy temple dedicated to the gods. It was not possible to determine exactly how the building looked like from the outside because it was late in the night, but with little light of torches could be seen two huge silver-black statue of dragons that their big heads were directed towards the entrance of the temple. ''''Scary what kind creatures they are ?? Asked Raynor loudly. ''''Be quiet idiot!! We don''t know who else might be inside and the answer to your question, what you see are called dragons'''' Bolrock said with a hint of fear in his voice. ''''D-DRAGONS?? They are real?? I thought they have been murdered during the great war for dominance between the five races'''' Raynor said scared and he and the rest backed away a few steps from fear. ''''I am not surprised that all of you do not know and especially about the fact that they are still alive. Since I had never left the land of our kingdom. I myself know about it only from merchants from distant lands, who brought not only excellent products but also told stories about the different races inhabiting the entire Arcania. One merchant once showed me a rune stone with which you can playback the recorded image in your mind. This rune stone had a picture of a dragon with was flying in the skies. Huge beast I tell you folks, more than 100 meters long and the height and his scales shimmered bloody color, same the wings were huge and every time their movement created a small tornado.'''' Commander Bolrock quietly explained to his companions. ''''Oh my god!! I alone never met one I, certainly would not have survived encounters with the beast'''' Purple hair girl groaned and her eyes widened in fear. ''''Do not worry sweetie I can defend you from this monster'''' Raynor said, and winked at the young girl. '''' Piss off you are disgusting, even if the dragon would ate you. I would have felt sorry for him alone, because he ate something disgusting so back off from me'''' Purple hair young girl threw a hood over her head and stood behind one of the muscular companions and frowned with anger, the others laughed at that. ''''You still come running to me with tears, when something will happen'''' Raynor just smiled at her. ''''That is enough, all of you quiet down. I heard something probably someone is coming'''' Bolrock ordered his men. Gateway to the temple slightly opened and a small bright orange ball of fire flew out. Magic fire began to circulate slowly in the air, illuminating the dark corners of the court, when it suddenly burst into intense light and stopped over the heads of mercenaries. Giving huge amount of light, as if the other tiny sun grew over their heads ''''Who intrudes the divine temple so late at night, identify yourself or I will burn you all'''' Fireball told in childish voice. ''''We do not come here to fight or rob but we like put it that way, were hired by a young person, a beautiful woman in golden hair, no more than 19 years. She told us to find a young master in this temple.'''' Bolrock moved in front of a group and said calmly. ''''Young girl with golden hair you say hmm...'''' Child''s voice began to consider, a fiery ball of light trembled slightly and slowly approached the wooden carriage. When the light fell on a face of unconscious women, a ball of fire started to encircle her with increasing speed and suddenly died. The gateway to the temple opened with a bang and from inside ran out two children, who could not have been more than eleven years. '''' Aria!!'''' Children one boy and one girl, shouted and rushed to the unconscious woman. ''''What happened?? why she does not move!? Children began to ask questions and tears ran from their eyes. *Hmm so Little fairy''s name is Aria... ! Just wonderful, I can''t wait when I will have a chance to be with her alone.* Thought Raynor and smirk. ''''Unfortunately, I do not know what happened there in the Red Sun village, but one of my soldiers Liz, she found that poor woman in a very bad condition. I myself thought she was already dead, but she was only badly injured and unconscious. So you need not worry, we have a healer who gave her first aid and now her life is not in danger'''' Commander Bolrock hide his surprise at the sight of two children and began to explain soothingly. Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. '''' *chlip* chlip* D-Did you find anyone still alive in the village?? The boy asked with tearful voice. ''''I am afraid that unfortunately, we found none except this young lady'''' When the commander said this, little girl burst into loud crying. '''' *chlip* D-Do not cry Ilene we have to be strong for the Alvar sake. What will he say when he wakes up and finds out that we cried. We must now live for ourselves and for him, because he needs us, he will guide us and we will always be together, the four of us. Because we also have Aria now she just need to wake up too and everything will be fine. We are not alone, do not cry anymore please...'''' The boy said reassuringly to his tiny twin sisters and holding back a sob patted Ilene on the head. ''''P-Promise bro Isen?? Ilene asked her twin brother in a low trembling voice. ''''Of course, I never lied to my sweet little sister'''' Isen smiled and hugged her. ''''I''m sorry to disturb you and I know, that you children experience now a difficult moments but we have to focus on important issues. We can go inside the temple, and you will lead us to someone adult sure someone is there?? and of course we can not afford to your friend Aria was freezing outside right?'''' Bolrock placed his hands on the back of two children and a slightly pushed them toward the gate of the temple. ''''Y-Yes yes you have right sir, please follow me. We will take you to the priest'''' Ilene said, still shaken. ''''Dalia, Raynor you guys are going with me to the temple. Rest of the unit prepare the camp, two people on guard, prepare a fire and try to cook something warm from what we have left. Probably we stay here for another night so do not stray and keep your eyes and ears open. Who knows what demons lurk in the darkness.'''' Commander issued orders to the soldiers and pointed to the purple hair girl and Raynor. ''''Yes sir!!'''' Mercenaries responded. Isen stood before the entrance to the temple, passing mercenaries who were traveling in a chariot with the unconscious Aria, he grabbed his sister by the hand and shyly asked. ''''Umm Mr. bald head?? Are you accidentally troops from the kingdom of men? '''' Yes, so why do you ask? Of course, after all, are you man to right??'''' Bolrock hesitantly answered and put his hand on the handle of his sword. ''''Oh! Yes! we''re both, I was just curious to see how the kingdom full of people really looks and how all this big buildings looks. Because you see Mr. baldy we lived so far away from big cities.'''' Isen said calmly and tightened his grip on the hand of his sister. Barlock clearly relaxed after what the boy said and suggested '''' I see, if you are curious you can always join our branch mercenaries, We will be returning to the Silamas city after this case ends. Silamas is four days by horse to the west from your temple.'''' Ilene bowed and siad ''''We must politely refuse, We need to take care of our young master and wait until the priest will lift spell of deep slumber from master body. *Deep slumber spell, hmm very interesting probably someone had to use that spell, to the boy so-called young master to calm him down and not to do anything stupid. I am not surprised after what was left of the village, I also would have went berserk and headed on the enemy * Bolrock considered mentally. ''''Well, as you wish little ones. Introduce me to your priest, and perhaps I will be able to help in reversing the spell'''' Twins looked at him skeptically, but said nothing and went inside and Bolrock behind them. The interior of the temple was a large room with no windows, or whether holes in the wall to pass the daylight, and only with two doors on opposite sides of the ordinary made of stone altar. The altar also had two gigantic statues of silver- black dragons with open mouths, this time made in the direction of the exit of the temple. Before the altar two mercenaries lay unconscious Aria, wrapped in a cloak on the floor and Dalia watched over her. Raynor waved towards them and asked. ''''So, what now?''''. before Bolrock could answer him, one of the doors opened wide and from dark room came a young boy, who could have no more than 10 years. He was of short stature, he had hair almost to his shoulders, but well cared in the color of the deepest black as night, cat''s eyes were visible only for a moment and return to the normal human eye. His pupils have a hue of light blue. He wore a set of dark red clothes. Everyone in the room looked with envy at the beautiful boy''s face, his body was also slightly tanned from the sun. Beautiful boy looked around at all the people present in the room. Each individual looking into the eyes and headed barefoot in their direction. His steps were light, almost did not touch the floor and walked majestically forward. He stopped in front of the unconscious Aria, he knelt beside her, his hand touched her cheek. Without moving from the spot, and only looking at the Aria he asked twins. ''''Isen, Ilene, I have many questions for you, I feel lost and do not know what happened. I only remember that village, where I spent my last free days before the initiation of my dragon transformation. At night, the fire, the screams, I beheld even women raped on the street, old men and young men are being slaughtered, children somewhere probably taken prisoner to become enslaved children. I could not do anything, and I could not help at all. The worst are the days just prior to the initiation of the dragon transformations in children like us, that ends ten summers. Children with dragon''s blood received by the first generation of the founder of the clan, our clan, the Flame Dragon clan, our family.'''' The boy was still kneeling beside the girl''s body, and his fingers gently scoured her hair revealing a bruised face. No one dared to speak or interrupt his speech. They all focused to understand every word of his voice, as if depended on their lives. Streams of tears flowed from the eyes of twins but, they did not dare to blink in order not to lose sight of the boy. Suddenly the boy stood up and turned to face the people present in the room, they all felt goose bumps on their bodies, when they saw the boy''s eyes, before a pale blue, and now blood-red with anger, hatred, pain and desire for revenge. The boy began to speak again, this time with a completely different voice, which sounded as if from the depths of the earth''s core, distant, deep, out of this world, full of wisdom. When the others heard the change in his voice their faces paled and beads of cold sweat ran down their backs. ''''My name is Alvar! I am the young master of the Flame Dragon Clan! I will have my revenge but I will not blindly killing everyone on my way. I am the dragon and I just inherited the initiation of the dragon transformation, from the first founder of our home that we call Falme Dragon Clan. His knowledge, his strength, his power, even his magical form of dragon breath. Everything goes to me in a timely manner and I will share it all with my family at the right time. It''s me real dragon and together with me the rest of my family will stand at the top of the food chain and crush the rest under our feet.!!!'''' Alvar slowly began to approach towards where Raynor was. Behind him grew long, pitch-black tail armed with dragon scales, and was ending with a long spike and Alvar blood-red eyes stared only in the face of Raynor. No one moved as if they put down roots, and no one spoke only their eyes follow every his move. Alvar in a stunning speed waved his tail and put his sharp spike to Raynor''s throat, the tip of the spike gently pierced the skin of his throat, so that there was only a small trickle of blood flowing down to Alvar''s black scales on the tail. ''''Tell me human. Do you want to die??'''' Alvar asked, almost in a whisper and his eyes once again turned in to a cat''s eyes.

Amprex Chapter 3 ¨C First meal?? In a spacious room, that looks like an ancient temple, seven silhouettes are standing opposite each other. One lying on the ground covered with a threadbare coat. Looking at this figure, you can see the golden long and straight hair, her face is more beautiful than the angels themselves. Of course this is Aria, her eyes opened slightly and she started to look around the room gently twisting her head. At the sight of a beautiful boy with black barely shoulder-length hair, her eyes were glassy from her throat escaped sob. Aria whispered. ''''M-Master!'''' Aria tried to move her body just to get closer to the boy but a sharp pain stopped her from further attempts and from her lips escaped a cry. The boy, who was just about first time take the life of an adult man in front of him, stopped suddenly and quickly turned toward the scream. Seeing the girl''s face contorted with pain, the boy walked over and kneel next to Aria, grabbed her by the hand and in his eyes you could see a huge sadness. Alvar leaned close to her face and kissed her forehead, whispering to her. ''''Aria I m so happy, I thought that you''ll never wake up'''' Alvar said to her quietly and his little fingers wiped the tears from her cheeks. Aria face blushed and smiled weakly at the boy.'''' Master, you''re alive!!, thanks to the dragon''s mother, I thought they killed you aswell'''' ''''Silly girl, bunch of soldiers can''t kill the dragon, you know, besides my aunt was with me'''' at the mention of family and just looking on Aria, tears began to fall from Alvar eyes. ''''My little fiery prince, you should not shed tears because of me, my heart breaks when I see your sad face.'''' Aria hugged him and whispered softly in his ear. ''''You are unfair, do you remember how I asked you not to call me prince ?? I do not have the title of Prince and my own father would rather see me dead, than let me took over the dragon clan.'''' Alvar smiled weakly and brushed her hair, revealing a beautiful blood-red eyes. ''''I always wondered, perhaps even from the moment when my mother took you in to our home. Where are you from? the aura that usually surrounds you is completely different from the dragons that I''ve seen and your unusual appearance has even led to the madness of my teacher.'''' For a moment she looked away and bit her lip ''''I''m sorry, but now is not the time for the story of my life.'''' Aria said ''''Alvar you have to release these people and especially Ilene and Isen. Your aura and bloodlust keep them in place, these people in black clothes can not even breathe normally. I''m stronger than you, and therefore it does not have any effect on me, but the rest of the company would not last.'''' ''''Oh sorry!! in a frenzy I lost my control. Ehh, I know that you are stronger from me, and that''s probably why my mother told me to learn from you how to fight in my human form before I start initiation of my dragon transformation.'''' Alvar said embarrassed and slightly blushed. Alvar calmed his energy and slowly pulled her into himself. When a huge force disappeared from the temple the rest of company breathed a sigh of relief. Ilene and Isen immediately ran to the boy and surrounded him in a tight embrace. Ilene started to weep with happiness, her brother was just grinning at all four of them. Bolrock exchanged glances with the other two and thought, * Goddesses!! like these twins can be so relaxed with this little monster around, not just all the time they mention something about dragons. I am sure that the black hair boy is not in his true form. He has even behind reptilian tail !!. Wait a minute maybe the twins also have a different form, so as I look at them they have a similar aura of what this little monster has. The girl has long red curls, pale skin and green eyes. beauty probably equals the golden-haired girl !!. But her brother is like a mirror image of his sister with the exception of hair that is cut short and simple. All four of them have something strange in itself* ''''Ekhm, I''m very sorry for all the confusion, young lord'''' Bolrock controlled the trembling voice and bowed. ''''Could I ask for a little clarification on this whole situation??'''' Alvar, twins and Aria looked toward the bald man and smiled at them. ''''I think it''s time to show these foul beings, who actually has the power here and who should show respect to and who you need to fear.'''' Alvar calmly but in commanding voice said. ''''Please let us take care of them!!'''' Twins immediately asked '''' We waited too long with our first dragon transformation. especially until you wake up because we wanted you to see us in real bodies please!!'''' ''''For sure?? you are ready for this?? first attempt it is very painful'''' Aria asked. ''''I have some concerns but everything will be fine except that we have to grow up to proudly represent our race and family''''. Isen firmly said Alvar looked at their closest friends, and only nodded in affirmation. Twins faced three people and had already begun to take off clothes to just stand naked in front of them. When Ilene had no clothes on herself, Raynor eyes sparkled with lust and his pale face broke into a nasty smile. Bolrock and Diana just looked at each other in disbelief. Reaction of Raynor did not go unnoticed by the boy and he just said to him. ''''I''ll kill you and then I''ll eat you'''' From Isen throat escaped animal growl. This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work. The first that started to change was his sister. She fell on all fours and her body began to shake, bend at unnatural angles. Her skin began to emit huge amounts of heat and steam and with its limbs appeared orange fire that slowly began to encircle her to immediately pick up speed. Flames shot up and covered her whole figure completely burning its human skin and the blood that dripped all over her body started to slowly harden when exposed to fire to bond with her. Ilene issued a deafening roar at all unlike her sweet small voice. Along her body, from the beginning of the neck over the back of the end of the tail stretches a number of acute and long skewers. At the same site when appeared in a long red tail. Red scales had already begun to grow on her entire body. the human body almost broke under the weight of huge muscles and her limbs turned into a Grand reptilian paws with sharp claws, the back has grown her pair of red membranous wings. With her lips began to fall out white teeth, and from her head, what changed completely in the dragon''s head grow pair of horns directed forward. Ilene end her body change under the influence of flames that raged in the temple with roar. ''''Rooaaar!! Alvar can you see me?? look, look that is my orginal form!! so how it is??'''' Ilene asked the boy behind her. Alvar smile and in his eyes stars appeared ''''You look beautifully!! I just fell in love with your appearance. Aria look at its muscular flanks and these claws, she even has horns on her head!!'''' Ilene swung their wings, and all at once the flames were gone as if they do not appear. Instead, the girls, all three of them saw a red dragon with green cat''s eyes. The dragon looked around gracefully and its size not counting the wings exceed the size of three adult men. Next to his sister, Isen also finished initiating its transformation and, like in human form as a dragon was identical to Ilene except that it was slightly bigger than her. ''''Young Master I understand your excitement and I think that she is indeed beautiful but we need to focus on our guests. What will happen if they think about fighting with us??'''' Aria said and pointed a finger in their direction. ''''Aria you had to call me by my name, did you forget already ?? or I get angry!''''He took her gently by the ear as a parent naughty children. Aria face blushed and she didin''t reply. When out of nowhere appeared the two great dragons Reynor dropped to his knees and began to shake and almost fainted with fear Diana and Bolrock started babbling at the same time ''''Please do not kill us!! we will not tell anyone, about your presence in this temple. Young Lord, please spare us!! Ilene approached the black-haired boy and put her dragon''s head armed with enormous teeth to his face and touched his cheek, her nose releasing at the same time a lot of hot air with a sweet fragrance ''''You have no right to speak to our Alvar in our presence'''' To emphasize her words she started to threateningly waving its tail. '''' Hmm, I guess we did not understand each other as you can see we are only four, and we do not have any contact with the rest of the world. When it comes to you and that girl need not fear. Finally I have to somehow thank you for taking care of the injured Aria, but when it comes to the kneeling rubbish, then you do not have any rights as to his life, whenever I looked in his eyes he was already dead to me'''' Alvar began stroking Ilene mouth and she began in response to purr. On the boy''s words Diana and Bolrock visibly relaxed but they do not lowered hands from their sword. Isen instantly appeared before the kneeling man as if only waiting for just the words of his friend and he opened wide its mouth revealing rows of razor-sharp teeth and was about to close the jaws on his body when Raynor suddenly stopped shaking, he looked straight into the eyes of Alvar and began to laugh crazily. '''' My lady of darkness you see with my eyes what I found. Your missing lizards and I filled the job!! As a reward, I demand that you saved my life now haahahha!!'''' Raynor laugh madly. Everything as if it slowed down and no one said anything or did not move, a minute lengthened in another and still nothing. Alvar finally lost his patience, his blue eyes again became blood-red and his killing intent completely filled whole temple, making goosebumps and fear even in Aria and twins. ''''I do not know what you yell worm, but your life has just ended'''' Alvar waved his tail on the right and left, and in the next second appeared behind Reynor and its tail pierced his chest through, leaving the other side a spike on its tail. It showed still beating heart. ''''I''m done with games, you are just meal for dragons like us'''' Alvar looked at Isen and said '''' My friend you can eat him now. Large dragon bulk of Isen headed toward a dead body, past commander and his companion. Who were already at the exit like they wanted to escape. ''''Finally I could not wait to end his own life for it as he watched my sister naked body'''' Isen opened his mouth and a bite tore off half of the body of Reynor, which then swallowed. The blood began to gush all over parties, staining Isen red scales with gore. Alvar looked toward the other mercenaries and said. ''''But I can not let you out quickly something unforeseen happened and we need to explain a few things'''' Boy, saying it still had red eyes, but no longer let go so brutal aura of his body as before and went to Aria and Ilene, stood between them and his little hand gently scratched soft scales on red dragon jaw. Chapter 4 – The world Hello guys, the next chapter a little different from the previous ones used to be. Iprovide more slowly throughout the universe Birth Of The Dragons. I have included some information and introduced other important characters who may or may not have some impact on history. Have a good read, write in the comments what you think about all this soofar. It will help and encourage me to write this !. Regards Amprex Chapter 4 ¨C The world Far away in the south from the temple, of the lands covered with a mantle of high mountains.Where winter holds in its grip all alive creatures that fight for survival with each meal, towering over all was the white city with tall towers of marble. Houses for the inhabitants also in the colors of white. The whole city is surrounded by 3 rings of defensive walls and each of the walls is higher than the previous one and the only way to the heart of the city is white draw-bridge and huge gate usually guarded by the team of guards. In addition to residential homes, found a place the blacksmiths of a different caliber. Some of them try to make their products at half price while others only support the noble and those who have money to pay for their work. Not only can you meet there blacksmiths as well as herbalists, doctors, quacks, shamans, tanners, runic smiths, tailors, jewelers, and people selling only things needed for life, such as food. The whole city keeps up with the trade of goods for their own gold and silver which the inhabitants extract in the mines at the foot of one of the mountains, as winter which lasts for 7 months of 12 does not allow self-sufficient farming. Residents of the White City can boast about one of the best academies of martial arts and magic that was built next to the citadel, which also is the heart of the city. The whole town was built under the twin mountains, where the citadel was built with black runic stone, which grew into the very mountain and around the black citadel was the rest of the city. From a distance, the whole city brings to mind black castle surrounded by a white sea of stone. At the very entrance gate, bears a runic inscription proclaiming the name of the city the White Wind City. It is through this gate rode on a horseback lone rider, who sped in the direction of the black castle, like a flock of demons chasing him. The guards saw a silver badge on his chest and quickly passed through another gate to the castle itself. The rider was dressed in a suit of white armor intended for scouts. White leggings, military boots to the knee, thick coat with a hood thrown over his head and his face was covered with a white scarf. You could see his eyes under the hood. it''s yellow glowing eyes. The scout began to move straight to the throne room and the road passed over the service and guards, who kept stopping from time to time to look in his direction or saluted by becoming straight and striking the right fist next to the heart. The same whole interior of the castle and its corridors and doors were made of the same from the outside as black marble with the exception of the magical runes on the walls and doors that seemed to flash blue glow and the smell of the magic of the runes was intoxicating. White dressed scout stopped before the huge gates to the throne room, on one wing gates were engraved in wood intertwined bodies of two dragons and red paint on their scales had shown their bleeding wounds. On the other wing of the dragon''s blood running into recesses, forming bloody lake from which were sipping a group of creatures with protruding small tusks. One of the guards wearing black armor plate looked at the scout and snarled. ''''Hadria what do you want here? Empress is busy and ordered that no one is to be let inside and this also applies to the scouts, so you have to come later. Although if you have a free moment we can drink the blood, like in the good old days. I bet after that long you have not a decent meal in your mouth'''' Hadria looked out from under her hood on a broad-shouldered guard and laughed softly ''''Dario my old friend. As a poor Ranger off-duty, with pleasure, I will drink with you, but later. I got the news that I have to give to our beloved Empress, and I do not think you''d want to feel her wrath when she finds out that she has not received a very important news because you kept rigidly to the guidelines. Likewise, I thought that you know that it is impolite to talk with a woman with a helmet on your head. Dario did not move and thought for a moment and then replied, ''''Hmm. I understand what you mean, but you must also understand this is my job here. Ehh no matter if something will happen, I will just testify at a hearing of the insubordination and this was your idea. When it comes to manners, an old woman like you should first remove your hood and then demand the same from me.'''' He replied in a friendly tone. ''''Dario you have not changed at all over the years. You always had that sharp tongue of yours, but I simply like it about you. We know each otheralmost 150 years?? and you never failed me and probably because of that, you are one of the few that can be close to our empress.'''' Hadria went to the door leading to the throne roomand lightly opened them. She looked back at him and turned to the other side. By going past Dario she added ''''Now I have to apologize, I have to pass important information'''' He looked at her and just went back to guard the door, scratched his under armor, and muttered. ''''Why do I have to stand here and watch in full plate armor, like we will be attacked. Surely I can take it off for just a moment??, it is rather a heavy piece of metal you know, and that nothing will happen right ??'''' Scout closed the wooden door behind her and stripped the hood from her head revealing brown hair tied in a short ponytail to not interfere with her work. She has tanned complexion from long days spent outdoors. A pair of glowing yellow eyes with narrowed pupils, small nose, full lips and pointed ears. Hadria is one of those women who can boast of her beauty but does not do it because she believes that the only person she cares should see her face. A woman is not high but athletically built after years of military service. Behind her was slung twin long swords. Made of runic steel, which gives rune swords the blue glow. All the warriors in the vampire army are using the same swords. The only difference is that some people prefer to use only one and the other two swords at a time. Rune swords of scouts are slightly curved and without Cross-guard (similar to the Japanese Katana or Elven swords from the lord of the rings). Hadria being already in the throne room stopped for a moment of delight and admired as a great space in front of her stretches. The ceiling lost in darkness, so there it can''t be determined how high sprout rows of the columns, which the massive wage upper wall. For each column built from a magical stone were painted important moments in the whole history of the Vampires in Arcania. 15 years of war for dominance between all races. Hadria always admired the painting depicting the Angel with 2 pairs of wings, holding a sword without a cross-guard similar to the Katana. * Usually, the race of demons holds this type of swords right?? and after them, we started to use them. Hadria thought*. In this image, the angel was murdering the Elven mages with one cut of his sword. ''''I hate elves, I alone am the best and if my Empress only give me an order then I need only take my sword and destroy utterly, wipe out all those forest savages.'''' She said loudly clenching her teeth in anger. She moved away from the column and walked forward. Her each step were suppressed by the thick red carpet that stretches all the way to the throne. The throne was made from the bones of a rare beast. Who is prowling in the local mountains. The size of the imperial seat is impressive, every ruler would sit on it and a large skull with fangs is mounted on the top of the chair. Looking from the front, it looks like the same throne is developed from the ground and the bones of the animal gave her an impressive effect, namely, it aroused fear in those who knelt before the throne. ''''You''re late. I already felt the sudden death of our plug, right on the boundary of the human kingdom'''' Said a melodious voice. Hadria stopped in front of a woman who nonchalantly sat on her throne and knelt on one knee, leaning her head low. ''''My Empress, let the bloody moon illuminates your way'''' Hadria greeted her with a ritual form. ''''And our enemies shall fall before us'''' Empress said solemnly. ''''Enough of these superstitious rituals, you arrived with a report, I presume'''' Hadria stood up and just nodded her head affirmatively, but remembering before whom she stands immediately responded, nervously dropping her eyes.Reading on this site? This novel is published elsewhere. Support the author by seeking out the original. '''' My Empress, It''s exactly as you say the plu...'''' Hadria stopped suddenly when she felt a gentle touch on her shoulder and looked straight into the abyss of herpurple eyes. When Hadria saw the beautiful face of the Empress she ran out of breath, felt wet between her legs and moaned with desire. The appearance of the Empress alwaysbrings delight and lust to all. Her pale face was decorated with lightly flushed cheeks and she has a long golden hair pinned up in a bun. Between full red lips were protruded two medium-sized canines. Her nose and pointed ears are perfectly proportional to her face. Her eyes were deep purple in color. It made the appearance of the Empress even morebeautiful. Her body as if carved by the best artist, can mesmerize men and women. She was of the ideal height and was wearing a long purple dress with open back, gold chains from the front of the dress refrained before the release of her full breasts. With the dress, she was wearing a light shawl in gold and on it, were engraved insignia clan which depicted the gaping mouths of the bone dragon. Empress smiled at Hadria and said softly straight to her ear ''''My dear friend forgive me. I''ve forgotten what effect my beauty have on my subjects, but this is the curse of the Royal family and, I have to use it for the benefit of our entire nation.'''' Empress pressed her index finger to the tip of Hadria''s nose and said cheerfully. ''''So many times, I told you if we are alone, you have to call me by my name.'''' Hadria clearly relaxed and said. ''''Shirina long time no see. How long has it been since your cravings, which you call an order ?? 5 years??'''' Empress smiled again and bowed mockingly. '''' Ah you got me here. Well, can you already let it go? you know that I like to irritate. I treat it as a kind of entertainment. You probably will not refuse an old woman a little fun right ?? Anyway, I was and still am curious how my daughter is doing. Since she ran away from home, I do not have contact with her. Thus probably you understand that as a mother I am worried about my child.'''' Hadria swallowed and said quietly. ''''Well as if to say Shirina. Your daughter is doing great!! she is happy out there and she was adopted''''. When the last word got out of her mouth, the whole of the throne room suddenly became much colder and dark. The floor and columns began to appear like frozen in ice. The darkness became so dense with was almost tangible, and everything started to spin. In the middle of the dark apocalypse hovered beautiful woman and her eyes instead of having purple color became silver and was similar to the avatar of death. ''''Here you go! Did she really forgot already where her true family is?? She turned away from her mother''s backs or so? Just because of an event a few years ago, I wanted to ensure her good prosperous life with the son of one of the lords. I never had any privileges. My father gave me to a 700-year-old crazy madman !! and I had to agree, to extend my house. I let her even go for this escape thing from the house because I thought that she will calm down after a few years and matures. This is very important news, Hadria, if you have something that might make me feel better ?? Maybe the horde of savages of the forest invades our lands?? Right away I''ll go up there and kill all, all of them !!'''' *On the bloody moon! I could not mention her daughter. I forgot that Shirina is obsessed with her. * Hadria thought, rolling her eyes. ''''Empress!! Calm down, Such behavior is not worthy, it is not like you at all. She was just looking for a place where she would start her own life to become independent, find happiness. I do not say that your daughter turned away from you. It is just your invention. And now concentrate on the important things.'''' Hadria growled at her old friend and did not even bother to mention that in this way she can lose her life for l¨¨se majest¨¦. Shirina began slowlyrestrain her anger, but she let her deadly magic circle in her veins. She breathed loudly and looked soberly at the scout standing in front of her. '''' You are right as always my dear friend. You know how to calm me down. If I''m not mistaken You had such skills already during our joint service in the military. ''''I would say that I have just patience for you and I understand you better than you yourself.'''' Hadria looked again at the throne room and only now pointed to a round wooden table, located just behind the throne of the Empress. ''''Shirina what are you planning now?? You know better than others, that our people are alive, thanks to this city and your presence here. Everywhere else in the whole Arcania or in the kingdom of men, elves woodland forests * tfuu Hadria spat at the thought of the elven people* or in the territory of demons and angels, our countrymen are not welcome. Surely you know that they are persecuted as the worst species living on this planet.'''' ''''I passed you the reports about that. We vampires are murdered, burned, persecuted only because we feed on the blood and we are practicing dark magic''''. Nobody has the right to murder innocent just because they think the magic of the darkness is evil incarnate!! Hypocrites they themselves practice prohibited rituals and desecrate the energy needed to practice magic. And by this, we had the great plague 10 years ago!!'''' Empress looks at the speaker, and only said ''''I know all of your reports and from my own lessons of history, but thanks for always reminding me about that.'''' Shirina started to circulate around her throne and continued. '''' It drives my anger against everything that can stand in our way to happiness.'''' Shirina came to the table and pointed to the farthest point of the city on the map unfolded before her. ''''We need to correct our knowledge of species inhabiting our planet. Thanks to my spy network, I''m almost a hundred percent sure that somewhere in this region lives another species as old as the elves and us vampires or perhaps even older. From what I know these people are as fierce as demons or worse.'''' ''''Their main advantage is supposed to be a change from a human shell as they call it to their true animal self or vice versa. There are even different tribes of the race depending on the form of the animal. They often form clans, families or just a tribe made up of creatures of the same characteristics of animal metabolism.'''' ''''How to call them is difficult to say. The information is contradictory. Sometimes I find mention of beasts-men, Nahual or another name for the same race Changing folk.'''' ''''I understand the wish to win them over to your side, to help you in what you are planning I''m right ?? And certainly, I mean the Dragons, which constantly you are dreaming about.'''' Hadria keeps her eyes on her speaking Empress and try to understand what her friend is talking about. ''''If I''m not mistaken dragons also have to fall into this race so ?? I mean, the dragons also have their human form, though I doubt the Dragons love to stay in their human form'''' Hadria said seriously. ''''It is exactly as you say, Hadria. For now, I just try to develop an action plan in the event of the outbreak of the next war. I believe it will certainly be more brutal than the last one.That''s why I''ve already sent our people for the diplomatic mission across the ocean to another continent to make contact with demons or if that fails I will have to conclude an alliance with the angels.'''' ''''But these are too far of a plan for the next 10 years so I do not expect that we will have soon a chance to finally eradicate the people of elves and especially the pompous Buffon Pengon.'''' Shirina to note about the King of the Elves clenched her small hands into fists and her beautiful face twisted in disgust. ''''I feel exactly the same as you Shirina. Ideally, I would strangle him with my bare hands for what he did to you and I do not care if it took place almost 200 years ago. Your subjects still remember it as he tried to take you by force after the engagement between you and him has been broken. His greed and bad manners only deepened the hatred between us and the elves. All suits us that we have become arch-enemies with the forest savages.'''' Hadria went to the Empress and hugged her back with foggy eyes. Shirina smiled and squeezed Hadria''s hands. ''''Thank you for your support but we have to act prudently, and we can''t make any mistakes or my whole plan will fail. I have another mission for you Hadria, I know You just got back to your home and probably would like to relax after 5 years in the saddle, but I need you to observe my daughter and those with whom shelives. If you find it appropriate to contact them then you have a free hand. I''ll wait for your next report when you get back. Probably we will not see each other so soon, so try to relax and eat some blood today, at my expense.'''' Shirina made a worried and tired face and continued. ''''I only ask you to be careful Hadria, because I do not have a lot of friends with whom I can speak openly.'''' Shirina stood in front of a woman scout and put her hands on her shoulders and uttered an official farewell. ''''Let the bloody moon illuminates your path.'''' Hadria wiped with the back of her hand the tears from her cheeks and said quietly, not hiding her emotions and anger. '''' I understand and I will complete the task. Although I am still angry because I had no opportunity to even visit my house!! but the responsibilities are more important throughout our nation is more important than the desires of one individual.'''' Hadria knelt on one knee before her empress and responded. '''' Let the bloody glow of the moon be your light in the darkness.'''' Hadria gets to her feet and walked out of the throne room, quietly closing the door behind her. Shirina just sighed and returned to the table with a map of the entire Arcania and began to lead her finger over the smooth surface of the paper. Stopping her finger on the kingdom of men, and said softly smiling evilly. '''' Let the game begin.''''
