Chapter 7: Evil Rising

Hidden in their secret lair, the Dark Dragon and his loyal servant continued to strategize for the battle that was almost sure to come.

"My loyal servant?" The Dark Dragon scowled, turning around so he was face to face with Chang.

"Yes master?"

"How is our army coming along?" He glared down at his servant.

"W we well ma ma master," Chang stuttered, "I suppose it could be better."

"How so?" The Dark One raised his voice. "How many creatures have joined?"

"Thirty-two, master," Change replied. "We have 10 trolls, 3 elves, 4 ogres, 11 leprechauns, 1 kraken, 1 kelpie, and 2 gnomes."

The Dark Dragon growled in disgust, clawing madly against the walls of the cave. Hunger flowed through his blood. A hunger that could only be cured by raw power alone. He needed control. He needed to take over the world. The thought of hiding his power from the world for the rest of his life was enough to make him go insane.

He let out another loud roar, releasing his anger in the form of fire.

Chang remained close to him, but far enough away so that his wrath could not harm her. Her master frightened her, but she knew that if she made him happy, he would praise her rather than torture her endlessly.

She knew that the army wasn't going to be strong enough. What she didn't know was how to change that.

Obviously if they could get another dragon to join them, their chances of world domination would increase tremendously. However, the odds of that were slim to none. Most dragons were obedient and loyal to the council.

There was another obstacle they would have to face in order to follow through with their plan; the American Dragon and his grandfather.

They were beatable, but they were always a tough battle. They were definitely going to pose a threat to the Dark Dragon.

Once her master had calmed down, Chang approached him cautiously.

"Chang?" He spoke in a slow, monotone voice.

"Yes master?"

"Do they know?" He assumed she knew what he was asking.

"I believe so, master," Chang replied. "I'm sure someone in Magus Bazaar has leaked some information to the council. I'm not sure, however, how much they know."

She paused before continuing. "However, I did receive a promising tip from one of the leprechauns in the army. He said he caught word of an emergency meeting on Draco Island a few days ago. He told me that everyone's attendance was required."

"Master," Chang continued, "do you know how long it's been since the council called an emergency meeting of such importance?"

"How long, my servant?"

"Twenty-three years," Chang stated bluntly. "They know."

"Do they know where we're hiding?" The Dark Dragon asked.

"I don't know master."

"I suppose it's a good thing we're ready then," he smiled evilly.

"Yes master."

"As for the army," he continued, " they shall be called the Dark Mafia."

"Yes master."

"And you shall be in charge of training them," the Dark Dragon told her. "Find another hidden location, one larger than this, and work them until they beg for rest. Find them all black robes for when they attack, with hoods so their identities shall not be revealed. Name them all yourself. Their birth names shall not be known by you or anyone for that matter."

"Yes master."

"Now go, my servant," he ordered. "I'm putting the fate of the Dark Mafia in your hands. Don't disappoint me."

"Of course master," she responded. "However, I have one small question."

"Yes, my servant?"

"Do you have any idea how we can add assurance to our victory?" Chang asked.

"Yes, Chang," an evil smile spread across his face. "I recently discovered a spell that I believe shall benefit us greatly."

"And what might that spell do master?"

"I can bring back someone, or multiple people in this case, from the dead to help us in our plan for world domination," he cackled.

"And just who do you intend on bring back, master?" Chang questioned him once again.

The Dark Dragon smiled down to her once again. "The Huntsclan."

"The Huntsclan?" Chang eyed him suspiciously. "How do you know they will benefit us rather than attempt to conquer over us?"

"Because my servant," the Dark Dragon turned to face her, "we share a common interest."

"And," he paused shortly, "a common enemy."

Alright there's a few things I wanna clear up here before I post this. First off, the Dark Mafia; I thought the army could use a name for me to refer to instead of calling it "the army" so this is what I came up with. (mainly because I've got the word mafia on my shirt right now LOL) And also, as you probably can tell, I tried really hard to stretch this chapter out to more than it really needed to be. The only main point I wanted to get across here was that the army is being built and the Dark Dragon's gonna try to bring back the Huntsclan. It would have been really really short without all of the extra stuff so this is what came of it.

please check out the poll on my profile concerning this story!
