To all readers out there just to let you know, Naraku is still Naruto. He's just the 'dark' half of him that was separated at the moment.
Naraku and his Darkwing flight flew into the night sky, feeling the eyes of beings down below. They were probably the night elves he heard about. From what he's learned about these beings, they were probably descendants of dark trolls that evolved from the magic from the Well of Eternity as they lived near it for all of their lives. So far, he's heard of some staying to the path of arcane magic while others are being connected to the natural magic of nature itself. He never understood the nature of these beings, nor their desires. But for now, they were not his concern, for he must find a perfect mountain to serve as a new home for his flight. Maybe Mount Hyjal will be the perfect place to find a place to reside in. He just hoped the residents there won't mind.
The elves watched these black dragons fly to the mountain, curiosity filling them as the scouting team began to pursue them, wondering what these creatures were planning near their homes. Riding their mounts in silent pursuit, they reached the landing point as they watched the supposed leader, one who looked different from the others of its kind (especially since it stood upwards), as it waved its hands and the earth moved to his command. The dirt shifting as stones were made as a new cavern was created. They wondered, was this dragon and its kind closer to the land like their druids were? They had to report this to Stormrage. He will know what to do if he could contact his supposed teacher Cenarius.
Naraku was no fool; he sensed the mortal elves spying on him and his flight as he created a new cave for his flight, now he'll have no choice but to block the entrance now that it is discovered. He heard the earth echo their footsteps as they left swiftly and quietly away from the area. He didn't know what they want, they probably wanted to see what his flight were doing, for now, they will have to build other lairs in this mountain and make sure to keep them secret. "Let's go Naraku; we'll take care of our new home tomorrow morning." Sintharia told her son as Naraku nodded his head and walked in last after the other members of his flight went inside, sealing the entrance with stone as he and his flight looked at the design of the cavern.
It was huge and spacious, with many stalagmites and columns of limestone supporting the ceilings of the cavern as a natural spring pool filled the very center of the cavern as the young whelps that joined Naraku's flight ran there and began gulping the water greedily, thirsty from the long trip to their new home. "Rest up, because we'll be expanding and creating new barrows in this area in case we're being hunted by…unwanted guests." Naraku ordered as the dragons agreed with him as they all found a spot for them to sleep in as they huddled together and began to embrace their dreams. Naraku being last as he became one with the earth to see if there was anything going on around the area by sensing the vibrations of the earth. Sensing nothing, he cut the connection and curled up next to his mother and began his dream.
Ysera the Green Dragon Aspect heard her student, Cenarius' call. Hearing of a new group of black dragons led by one different in appearance than the others had perked her curiosity. She delved deeper into the Emerald Dream as she preceded to the location of this lair those black dragons and find the one she sought. She recognized Sintharia, the Prime Consort of her brother figure Neltharion there and the supposed leader of this group. She connected to the dreams of this strange dragon, and was thrown into a nightmare.
She saw it, his pain and anguish, how he was tormented by evils by beings that surpassed the Titans in power as they infused him with them. For some reason, these evils, the curses, and the powerful malice is being locked up by a powerful force, she realized this dragon had hope of salvation from this burden. But she realized something. This dragon was not naturally native to Azeroth. No, his appearance seemed far more ancient than even the proto-dragons she and the other Aspects originated from, what was he? Even stranger, he was not a full dragon, more like a mixture of something else, an unknown creature. Plus this hollow aura emitted from him, it was once a powerful being that was split into three pieces. It sought to be whole one again; it yearned to be whole once again. It dreams of reuniting with its lost halves and be one glorious being once again.
"Leave…"
No, the instincts were telling her to leave, but her heart, the heart of a mother, refused to allow such a creature, one with the heart of a young infant crying all alone, to suffer. She must find a way to undo these burdens this dragon has to endure. Maybe Malygos would be able to create something with his arcane knowledge to rid of all these evils carved onto the being's soul.
"You will do no such thing."
Before the Dreamer could realize it, she was hit head on with a powerful tackle as she quickly recovered and threw back the being that dared to attack her. She saw it, a dragon in the shape of the one she entered; it was the form of a black void in dragon shape as its piercing red eyes glared at her with hostile intent. It did not look friendly at the moment. And when Ysera looked at it, she saw the ugliness of things she could not describe. It was as if she was seeing the ultimate nightmare incarnate, she was hesitant but now she knew, she was in contact with the leader of this group of black dragons.
"What are you?" she asked as the void dragon looked at her with narrow eyes. "Your worst nightmare, now leave and forget all that you've seen. Or else," the creature threatened as Ysera knew that this young dragon definitely had the audacity to tell her what to do. She was a Dragon Aspect, a powerful one at that, and she would not move at the will of others. "Or else what?" she asked, her eyes still closed as the black void dragon looked like it was smirking. The creature charged with a roar that shook the dream, as the sky blackened and he blended in with the darkness as he too, closed his glowing red eyes.
Ysera knew that he now considered her a threat, she listened to the sound of the creature's wing beats and dodged, the monster snarled in anger as it opened its eyes, forgetting to hid them as it charged at her with a sickening madness to kill. She had to hold back with her powers, no matter what. This evil that tainted its soul pitch black had turned it into a monster designed only to kill, but kill what? From the way it fought as she avoided the shadowy dragon's swipes, it was killing only small beings, something mortal like the elves.
Ysera blasted the void's wings with her breath aligned with the power of nature as it struck true to its aim as the being fell. "What sort of cheap trick did you do to me you bi—!" it demanded as it crashed into the ground. Lying still as it groaned in pain. Ysera sighed sadly; the poor child was consumed by an evil that it did not want to bear. She landed a good distance away and proceeded to walk towards the creature, as it struggled and stood on its hind legs as the wings faded away. Then, its form changed. It was slender, built for speed and power, and it had nine tails. What Ysera was looking at, was a black nine tailed fox as it snarled at her.
If she could blink, then she would have done so as the black fox appeared above her and slammed its nine tails onto her back, slamming her to the ground as the fox landed on her. This originally was a simple search for the group of black dragons, now it was turned into a battle of life and death, funny how reality works no? Ysera knew this creature was in a blind rage, and if he awoke in his current state now, something terrible will happen. She will have to subdue the creature here and now. While she wasn't the one for fighting, but here in the world of dreams, where she can't banish him from it or else he'll awaken and go on a rampage, and she did not know what she was dealing with now. It was more like a demon in dragon form that shape shifts at will.
She refused to open her eyes, to use her true power on a being like this is no exception here. This child was still in pain, and she must find a way to soothe the rage in his heart, but now must fight back or risk suffering for her compassions. With that, Ysera dodged the incoming fox as she swiped her tail, tripping the fox as she opened her maw and bit into his arm, causing the fox to howl in pain. Enraged, the fox slashed at her torso, causing her to bleed as she refused to let go as she gathered all of her physical strength she could must, and go beyond the limits and threw the black fox over as it slammed onto its back.
Ysera used her green breath, trying to put her enemy in a deeper sleep. But the fox saw her intentions and recovered, narrowly avoiding her attack as the fox transformed back into the dragon she was familiar with, while still retaining the nine tails of the fox. And it was serious this time as it regrew its wings and started to walk around her on its hind legs cautiously, like a predator facing a prey that still resists. "I will end this…" it spoke as it split into nine copies, much to the Ysera's shock as they all lunged at her from different directions, cutting off all possible routes to escape. Ysera faced it head on, unleashing her breath and slashing at the copies with her claws and smacking them with her mighty tail. But this time, the numbers have overwhelmed her. Even a single Dragon Aspect can be overwhelmed by enemies they have not encountered before, never gauging their enemy's skills or abilities, walking in blind is short of suicide.
Dragon Aspects are the mightiest of their colored flight. They bear great and terrible power, but at the same time, great weaknesses. Neltharion, Earth-Warder was prone victim to evil whispers in the earth, one that plagued Naraku and the other black dragonflight, the Life-Binder was to feel the pain of losing her precious children to Death's grip when they perish in battle, Ysera's is her own realm, for dreams of the being she enters when they sleep become omnipotent gods as they control what happens in their dreams. The black void dragon was no exception as his dream was made real, defeating a powerful enemy with all of his might. The minute Ysera entered this dragon's dream; she had already lost when he became serious. Now, she is now the victim of this creature's superiority as she cannot escape from the dream she is in. She must wait till he awakes if she is to ever get free.
They smashed into her, clawed at her, breathed flames of darkness, bit into her body, and then pinned her to the ground as all the copies merged into one as the dragon stood over her and bit her in a certain part of the neck, causing Ysera's eyes to nearly open themselves in shock. This dragon had done something of ancient dragon culture, one forgotten in ancient times; ones used by the proto-dragons when selecting a mate for life, a male proto-dragon would fight his chosen mate and if proven to be the victor, would bite his mate on the collarbone of the neck. This dragon had proven his dominance and had marked her, sealing the deal permanently. She now belonged to him.
Naraku watched as the green wyrm became limp, submitted to him after he bit her in the collarbone. He wondered what that had done exactly, for her to be like this all of the sudden. "You've marked me," she said in a quiet tone, he was confused, what had he done? Then he realized he must've done something, something he did not know and now the chaos is about to begin. "What did I do exactly?" he asked, his rage dissipated as the green dragon, with her eyes still closed, 'looked' at him from behind her eyelids. "You've marked me as a mate for life." She replied. "Oh shit, not something I'd expect on the first day as the new leader of a newly born flight…" Naraku thought, wondering what chaos will be unleashed. At least it was just a green dragon and not the legendary Ysera the Dreamer now. Oh how irony comes back and toys with him.
"Because of this, you are now one who also leads the Green dragonflight; I am Ysera the Dreamer, and now, your mate for life." Ysera spoke as she stood and looked at the stunned look on Naraku's face. "…Shit, I've really caused some serious problems. I just hope that this doesn't cause any problems in the future…" Naraku thought.
Nozdormu, Dragon Aspect of Time and leader of the Bronze Dragonflight frowned at the sudden distortions in the flow of time. History has been rewritten, and he must find the source of the problem. "Time to find the sssource of this problem before it's too late." The great Aspect spoke, as he sent his fellow agents to find out what is going on.
