Meanwhile in Dragopia
“It seems so, Xaio.” Bloodfang declared with his disappointing tone.
Xaio bowed his head down, still being in a kneeling position. “My lord, if I may speak my mind about something…?”
Lord Bloodfang rose an eyebrow, he tilted his head out of curiosity. “Let it be heard,” Bloodfang said, gesturing with his hand.
“Lord Bloodfang, I thank you,” Xaio said as he stood up and glanced the Dragon Lord into his cyan eyes. “I do not mean to defy you with my questions and concerns. But I’ve been having a hard time believing that what we are doing is the right thing.”
Marvon glanced in shook before turning his gaze at Michael. “Continue.” Lord Bloodfang said.
“Maybe we could ally ourselves with these Revolutionaries instead of killing them,” Xaio suggested. “Or find other ways to bring the Kingdoms on our side, instead of blasting them halfway to hell. Like you so did make an example out of Cloudia.” He said. “But what’s been bugging me ever since, is if that is the right thing to do?” He asked.
“Xaio, old friend.” Bloodfang begins. “I realize that my actions haven’t been justified as of late. However, I believe I need to remind you why we are doing this.” He said. “The world is beginning to fall into ruins, without order and only chaos.” Suddenly, the Overlord stood up on his feet and walked towards Xaio, getting close towards the Starwalker.
“The Starwalker Tribe is one of the countries that suffered because of this. Because of the Isotixians who raided and slaughtered your race into extinction. And the Cloudians who refused to help you in your dire call.” He said as he looked down on Xaio. “Perhaps I may not be the best thing this World needs. But I’m at least the only one that wants to act upon it, and even if I have to rule every Kingdom under my iron fist. I will.” He declared. “Because only then, will there truly be peace and we will not end up being in a constant war which will end our world. For I’ve seen things outside the realm of our comprehension, and if we are not prepared for this imminent threat…the world will cease to be.”
Xaio glanced at Lord Bloodfang, slightly confused. “My Lord…do you mean, an outside force is nearing our World with the intent in destroying it?” He asked.
“Indeed.” Lord Bloodfang nods. “But when I tried to explain to the fellow Leaders of their Kingdoms, they didn’t believe me and simply called me a fool and a Mad Man.” He said.
“But my Lord even if that is true…what guarantee do we have you’ll not end up like Vercing?” Xaio asked. “What if this overwhelming power corrupts you?” He glanced at his Lord.
“What if you are already the very thing you are seeking to destroy?”
Lord Bloodfang frowned his expression. “I am not.” He simply stated with a calm tone. “And you better not let those so-called heroes, indoctrinate you with their lies.” He ordered. “And this conversation is final.” He declared as he turned around, his back facing Xaio as he walked towards his throne.
The paws would match the size of the ones Candall was following and the hair Candall found was indeed that of Jeffrey, it would have been wise if he followed that trail.
Suddenly, there appeared a shady form of a man with tattered clothes and hunter robes. His form was rather lean but not too skinny either, his aura had a feeling of mysteriousness filled with dread. Envarus would feel the presence lurking from behind him, should he turn around he would see a 6’2 foot tall man approaching him with a calm walk, his form taking each step, getting closer to the Paladin of the Holy Dynasty though this man couldn’t relate to Envarus’ so-called holy status.
“Oh my, what do we have here…” An old voice, presumingly that this man was old, spoke out as his eyes which were hidden by his hat, glanced at the hunter blade that turned into a hammer. “It’s a weapon, I haven’t seen before in quite some time.” He mentioned. “Tell me, young man. From whom have you required this?” He asked, his tone taking an intriguing one.
