Chapter 26
Brutality
Somehow when the world ended beneath our feet, we were all continuously teleported through a series of portals, each containing a different temple. I wonder why the old kingdom did not collapse at all, and somehow when lava sprung up, we all disappeared when it touched the surface. Somehow they had some kind of auto teleportation, sensing disaster and immediately taking action once the trigger has been sensed. The guard who was carrying me, seemed to not care at all, much less worry about it at all. That however, probably was the good thing since we were so close to becoming ashes and nothing but black dust. None of us could stand fire, since i did not develop any fireproof scales yet. He then lightly punched me in the nose so that I could wake up, as I assumed that meant that we were here. He suddenly stopped to watch something, as I opened my eyes to see. We were standing upon a stone palace, where there were at sight about six hundred people, but that was just a guess. There could be more. They were chattering as I saw far in the distance that somebody was put on a high chair, with a rope tied along his neck. I was wondering why they were, until he kicked the chair and let him hang from his neck. He tried to struggle free, but it was already too late, he was dead a minute later. Another moment later, he was untied and he fell into a fiery pit, which smoke came out of when the impact was found. Then he kept on going, walking through the crowd as the peasants did not mind us walking through their groups. It almost seemed like they were being controlled, but how will I know when this was the first time I ever saw this?
Going to Blade Ridge was a HORRIBLE idea. I never thought that I would actually make it, but at the same time I was kidnapped. I was nearly decapitated, and now I am getting carried away from whoever rescued me. Tuo was right, never in a million ages, came a time where that Ridge was ever safe. He began holding me over my back, holding me so tight that I could barely breathe. At that moment, I wished that I could go back, but I realized if I did now, then it would not let me through or I might end up somewhere where there is nothing but the void. I have already faced it, its gone, forever. soon we reached the huge stone stairs and we came across some guy in a mask. He held his giant axe sideways with his hands holding on desperately to keep it up, but he seemed like he could handle it so well, I almost did not notice. The person holding me engaged in a conversation, as they were just meeting each other, like they were best buddies or something. The person then walked forward as another person had her hands bound in chains, as the executioner laid her head on the hard surface. I looked away, and closed my eyes before I heard her voice, knowing that she just died. He did not seem to care, and we finally reached a few pillars along the way.
Over top of us were nothing but grey, and black. There was no sky, and the roof was perfectly over us, where almost no light came in, but it was visible at one point. "Oh screw this." He said. "At this point I will have to walk back about ten miles before I reach there, by the time I get there, the queen is probably going to request something that I most likely hate." He added. He then quickly let go a bright flash of light, that somehow took us to one of their dungeons. They were all empty, and some of them, had skulls that was shaped like mine, except way bigger. What do they do to them in here? He opened the cell door and forcefully pushed me in, as I tried to run back to him and try to escape, he slammed the door and locked it faster than I could even say "dang it!". He quickly glance at me, as he heard me say those words. "Escape and I will find you, hunt you down, and personally end you myself." He said. The spear man walked out of the room, as he eliminated the flames from the torches. The only thing I could see was outside the cell, and outside it came a upward spiral stairway that led to somewhere that was most likely going to take me to the wrong place if I wanted to escape. Suddenly, I heard slow breathing, and I scanned around with my claws and wings, and the only things that touched was the walls. I guessed it was not really empty for a dungeon, and it was in another cell. I decided to sleep to see if they would come back for me tomorrow.
When I finally gone almost numb from sleeping, visions flowed like a river through my mind. It slowly became blurry, but then it focused back into a clear image, comforting me. Then it was starting to feel and sound strange. It was consisting of the person who rescuing me and some strange person in a hood. She looked kind of old, and around them was a whole collection of scrolls, some of them with labels on the endpoint.
"How is it? Is it coming back together again?" He anxiously asked.
"Restoration is coming back to the Sentients..." She strangely said. "Soon, another war breaks out, and we are going to be taking serious hits if we do not do something."
"We got to choose fast and wisely?" He responded.
"Affirmative. We got to make sure that down on Ceres, the two new empires do not try and have war, or else..." She explained.
"Our secret?" He answered.
"Yes... Our only safe cover through deception." She backed away.
"Wait." He stopped. "Didn't you say that only two would be considered gods if the restoration took place?"
"It won't certainly end well." She answered. "Is that Phoenix already harnessed and ready to become one?"
"Ready, but what we just captured was a little one." He responded. "I think he needs a lot more to reincarnate himself."
"I see." She reacted. "You do realize that if he had almost all the fire that is within a dragon, he could be powerful enough to stop a Gioradon?"
"And who is-" He said while picking up a scroll and skimming through it.
"His name is Tylirious. The Sentient that is still alive." She said. "Most of them call him Tyler."
"Sand is quickly dropping down to the bottom of the hourglass." He stated. "We get that Phoenix out to make sure that we can assure them that peace will be given due to no attacking."
"Hello you nightstalker." He said while expelling me from the vision.
What I could probably pull out from that was they were planning to use me as fuel for their weapon. I cannot let that happen anymore, I got to somehow find a way to escape. but how?
-Back at Sevawing territory-
"Here is proof for slaying Golgoroth, and we managed to sneak out with the piece of SIVA." Davoskis said while making the ogre's head appear in his hands, then immediately dropping down to the floor. When the dragons looked at it, they had a face of horror, feeling like Davoskis was going to kill them all. Ytrian on the other hand, was overly pleased, knowing that they would not dare see Golgoroth kill another one of their own.
"Very well then. Keep the piece. you have earned it. I am sorry if anything happened to you while you were attacking him."
"Ytrian?" Mideran asked.
"Yes Mideran?" Ytrian softly responded.
"Wouldn't you say that it would be a pleasure working with you?" Mideran explained. "Or maybe at least give them something else? I feel like something that we couldn't do ourselves, and we did it together, wouldn't they deserve more?"
"Well, I never thought of that. I will get something for them. Tell them to wait as they get their bonus." Ytrian annoyingly said.
"Alrighty then." Mideran reacted. "Davoskis likes huge cannons like rocket launchers."
She walked out of the temple like there was something wrong with her. She would usually never walk out of the room grunting since she was not that kind of dragon. She would most of the time just calmly walked away if something was bothering her. Meanwhile, Mideran told Davoskis to waait and Roa'urn listened in as well. The structure began feeling eerily cold,, as if a frost bomb was just detonated and got through to the whole area. Latinis was shivering intensely, trying to keep warm and not freeze to death. Ice slowly formed on the pillars. Each pack of ice was very hard, and was unbreakable, as ice started to cover the floor. She then came back in with a face that looked like she has been blasted with a ice blast. She was not shivering at all as the room got colder and colder,but suddenly it became warm again with the torches having fire within them. Ytrian finally pushed a crate full of stuff for Davoskis and his comerades.
"Here you go Davoskis." Ytrian sighed. "You are a natural born leader arent ya?"
"Sometimes. Thanks for everything." Davoskis reacted.
"No problem." Ytrian said. "Mideran, come here so I can start relieving myself from this ice crystal."
Mideran felt his heart sink, due to what she just said. He knew he was about to receive a horrible beating or beat down from Ytrian, and usually it never ended well, as he would be sore for months. He walked forward, being absolutely terrified of what she was going to inflict on him, but this time she slapped him across the face and pinned him down again. Soon she started biting him, making sharp pains rise from his scales. Her bite was almost more deadly than her poison which she can administer with her sharp tail. Volxhos begun laughing silently as Mideran was being pummeled by a girl. Soon Latinis then slapped Volxhos to make him stop laughing because of the indecent. Davoskis pushed the crate as the team left, and got onto the Ketch, which was remotely rerouted by Caughantis. On one end, he could say it was a out of this world job, but they did it well, now the only thing to consider is to find the remains of SIVA which is most likely on Earth. The ketch's hack then closed and they were elevated up into the atmosphere, and left.
"Tricia. If you are here, we are going to let you know that we are going back to the great valley so that you can go back home and we can figure this whole plan out."
She appeared out of one barrel and found her laughing at a picture. Tricia quickly put it back as Davoskis walked around the corner. The team got back into the other rooms inside the ketch, and they were gone from Jupiter. Roa'urn was in a hallway, thinking about the Terrace coming to them.
What the heck was that? We were just minding our business, and suddenly they came in and swooped us up, then the Tenno got involved, and we came and crashed the destroyers. Davoskis however was called by Ytrian a natural born leader. She is technically correct since in the past he was. I knew him as a great friend, and he would try and never leave a person behind just because he or she was too weak. Akaz however, is now probably a unstable lunatic, who is massacring everywhere now. They probably came for him, but why did Altayous get snatched with him as well?
