Hey everyone,
Hope you enjoyed the last chapter, and hopefully, this one as well. As promised, I was able to deliver this chapter on time. I plan to release a chapter at least every Friday, and keep in mind, I plan to have shorter chapters instead of long ones, like in my previous fanfiction.
Although this fanfiction is off to a low start with views (40), I hope to get it up to around where I finished my last story (6,600).
This chapter is also beginning to get into the story more than the last one. This is the last "major"(a) character I will introduce for the time being.
Shades of red and orange wisps danced around, as they branched apart from one another. At one moment, a strand shone with the glow of the deepest tone of blood, while at another, flared with the cooler tinge of apricot. The colors of intense passion stood in contrast to the sleek, ebony coating of scaled skin. Protruding veins stood out as dye on a blank canvas, some reaching as far as the sun-like orbs that bore a resemblance to the similarly colored hair. With ornate, gold trim, a cape of a lesser toned black hugged his waist, and draped to the blades of grass below. His voluminous muscles pulsed outwards, in particular, his chest and arms, as he continued to breath in and out.
His low voice rumbled out, "commendable, as at each moment."
The bangs of white hair that reached low, were swept aside from his sight, revealing his pupiless, blank eyes.
"You need not forge me into a champion."
"Perhaps, though I digress, I grace myself in your presence for an inquiry."
He squinted his eyes in preparation for what was to be said as he replied, "what do you desire of me?"
"A proposition."
"In regards to?"
"A single feather of the many on an eagle."
His feet, so large in size, left imprints of itself on the leafy floor, as he walked forwards.
"I bequeath to you, my feather, fashioned in the inner recess of my mind. Conceives of a realm, absent of the existent discomforts and agonies."
His facial expression became slightly distorted as he responded, "your endeavor to oscillate me is futile. You know this is beyond my prowess."
"Is it? Although I share the blessing of the three, you have proven me but a child in comparison in regards to power."
"Nay, false words fell from my tongue. A master does not kill his own student, it is not in his inscription."
He gazed further into the eyes of nothingness, "I do not follow. You arbitrate order itself."
"Aye, alas, that act in and of itself, contributes to tip the scale in one side's favor."
The coverings on his chest bulged inwards, as he exhaled a sigh of built up exhaustion. He ran a hand along his own chest, and traced patterns around the hinges of his scales, as a way to constitute thought.
"Perchance, you are fallacious. Perhaps you see the scale in an incorrect light."
An eyebrow raised itself above the eye and into the forehead, "forgive me of my stupor, yet my ears may perceive what is untrue and I may come to understand that you have thought I am inferior for my craft?"
"Nay, I but offer a suggestion. An insinuation that perhaps balance is not between prosperity and hardship, yet lies entirely in affluence." He continued to elaborate, "in darkness, it gives rise to sole chaos, which is the exemplar of disorder. Light is the absence of chaos, which gives no birth to disorder."
He placed his hand on his chin, and replied, "Your eagle soars too high, I find myself incapable to ascertain new heights, however, I must meditate on this further."
The sturdy, black clad individual turned his back, as a lone eye gazed backwards. "My people suffer down below. The fires of the World's belly burns hot, the air grows ever constricting, and my denizens swell in number, pushing to the very boundaries of the crust itself. That is disorder, yet I wonder if the chosen lands bore a similar plight, would you would act with such delay?"
He frowned at this comment, and answered with a suggestion, "inquire of her, I would fathom that she would assist you in this matter."
A grunt was met in response as he replied, "I shall."
With a flare of red, and a burst of flames, he disappeared.
Without notice, the dead branches of the colossal tree began to give rise to several small buds.
Thanks for making it this far, I hope you enjoyed this.
Feel free to PM me about anything.
I plan to update on 4/15/2016
Cheers.
