The poll question is on my profile and here's a answer to a criticism review that I got:
Guest: I'm very glad that you like the storyline. I understand Saphira's and Volkossah's relationship is going too fast. Why would they trust an unknown dragon that looks like death itself?

The Dark Unholy God Rising, Allies Betrayal
While me and Saphira were flying towards Yazuac ahead of Brom, Sxydrav and Eragon in the afternoon. I thought about our path. According to Brom we will travel to Yazuac then Daret and last Terim before going to the Vadran and the elves. Before I could think about this while, looking around the landscape of forest trees, I felt a stabbing pain within my mind, as a dark and evil voice rang out.
"Do you really think that you can slip away for me easily? I'm Vloikasrexz, your current master. I'm the unholy dragon god of pure darkness, you my dear child are my servant." Vloikasrexz stated as I felt my memories shifting and my mind changing drastically. So much that I felt mine and Saphira's connection trying to break apart at the seams. While it was happening. I felt my mind barrier trying to break as emptiness tried to fill my mind.
"Volkossah! Are you okay?" Saphira growled in fear as I felt a massive amount of darkness that was forming… underneath me? I knew I had acted fast as a purple fire was bubbling from the ground ahead of me but I reacted too late.
My parasitic darkness burst to life, shocking Saphira electricity and causing her to be paralyzed as she plummeted down from the sky. Eragon yells in pain as he almost falls off his horse. Brom stopped as he looked up to see Saphira plummet hard to the ground in front of them, Brom cursing under his breath as he grabbed a paralyze Eragon's horse reins. Sxydrav felt my parasitic darkness as she knew that this will destroy my alliance with Eragon and Saphira, but luckily the dark dragon is my servant through the dark eternal bond. Meaning that Sxydrav would follow me anywhere as I'm her master. While Sxydrav was thinking about that the storyteller then jumped off his horse and raced to Saphira while I on the other claw was roaring in agony, trying to force the voice out of my mind but Voikasrexz, whoever he was. The dark dragon god's presence was stronger than my own as he spoke again.
"Kill them all my servant, shred your allies, do this I will allow you to have Saphira. Spare no one alive, kill the innocent if you have to then report to me." The dark god roared out in fury as my eyes changed into an undead soulless black color. I quickly landed in front of Saphira as Brom checked on the sapphire dragon, I started to change.
I roared in agony as purple flames glowed underneath my skin like lava, some of my scales had fallen off like bird fathers. Black chains wrapped around my legs, wings, neck, the scales on my head and tails melting until it was all bone. Relieving my parasitic skull to my allies. I looked at Saphira who was still paralyzed, unknown to me Saphira heard Vloikasrexz.
"This is your new parasitic form that I created, it's called a hell dragon. Your task is to collect souls that I want. If you obey me, you can have Saphira but Eragon is useless to me." Saphira and I were shocked by Vloikasrexz, I was saddened by this as Saphira was pissed. Before I could reply, Saphira cut in.
"Volkossah, why? I… I trusted you and this is how you betrayed me?" At that time I knew I accidentally broke mine and Saphira's relationship apart, I quickly answered back while saphira growling in anger.
"Volkoassh is not here!." Vloikasrexz answered while using my distorted and dark voice. Brom was about to pull his sword out of its stealth, when Sxydrav quickly lunged at the storyteller and bit him hard. Causing the storyteller to yell in agony as he dropped his sword, Blood was pouring out of Sxydrav's bite marks. Vloikasrexz was about to pounce on Saphira, but before he could use my body. Brom and Eragon heard another roar, as a strange dragon knocked me down.
"You'll not harm Volkossah, you foul monster." An unknown female dragon roared out as she pinned me down, parasitic foxfire suddenly flash causing me to roar in agony. This causes Sxydrav to stop her attack on Brom by an unseen force, Eragon and Saphira snap out of their paralyzes state. I on the other claw managed to somehow regain control over myself and was fighting with Vloikasrexz.
"Sleep." With a single word for this unknown dragon, I fell into a deep sleep. Brom was surprised to see another free dragon as Eragon slowly stood up. Saphira growls in pain from the intense shock for my parasitic darkness.
The next thing that I know I woke up on my left side in a cave with Saphira looking at me in symptom, in front of me. Brom's was trying to probe my mind causing a massive headache from me, but I used my mind barrier to shield myself from the storyteller's mental attacks. Saphira was watching me and Eragon was beside Sxydrav giving me a death glare and Sxydrav had purple chains on her to the right of me. The unknown dragon was nowhere in sight, my guess is that the unknown dragon was hunting.
"Where are we and who was the unknown dragon?" I slowly stood up, I growled in pain as said unknown dragon landed on the left. My allies and I looked at this dragon, both Saphira and Eragon were shocked to see another dragon. Brom was surprised as I on the other claw was confused, Sxydrav was seething with rage, while her chains ratted against the ground trying to get into a confirmed position.
This unknown dragon was a long-lasting subspecies of parasitic dragon from Skyviossk. Somehow this dragon survived the war and managed to survive two wars and a third one is ongoing: The parasitic war, the elves and dragon war and this war. The parasitic dragon is a female with a tint of red and purple color in her black scales, the kitsune goddess's eyes were light blue that shone like the sun. The head was angled and smoothed with two light blue crescent moon shaped like horns, two long fangs prodded from the upper jaw as a lower split jaw had two small overhanged fangs. Sharp dragon fins and spine run down to the golden nine kitsune tails tipped in white. The underbelly was white as the four wings were very large with extra horns running down the wing members.
'Another dragon here, a parasitic kitsune at that. How did a fucking parasitic kitsune survive?' I thought as I was beyond shocked as the rest of my allies were speechless to see another dragon try not to kill me. No words were exchanged between Eragon, Brom, or Saphira while the parasitic kitsune was trying to pierce my mind barrier. I was skeptical about this dragon, but I did thrust her because she saved me from corruption so I allowed her to enter my mind.
"I see that you are awake, Volkossah, to answer your questions I'm Kyubinkitsune a living parasitic goddess and the mother of all parasitic kitsune. You and your allies are in a cave near Anora River. This shrine is shielding you from Shyiexkos for her own intention to kill you Volkossah." Kyubinkitsune stated as Brom and Eragon were surprised to see a god well… a goddess that proves that the gods do exist in the middle ages even though the elves do not believe in gods. Before I could ask Kyubinkitsune a question, Saphira cut in.
"Kyubinkitsune, I never heard of you before." Saphira growled in surprise as I snorted at the sapphire dragon's words while I thought about the parasitic kitsune goddess. I heard of the parasitic kitsune goddess before in stone pictures that show her story in detail, she created her own species that is a subspecies of the parasitic dragons before the secret cult war started.
It was a war that started between Vloikasrexz and Kyubinkitsune's cult in the early days of Skyvossik that is somehow going on to this day in Alagaesia. This cult war has managed to keep going all the way through the early days of Skyvossik and to Galbatorix's rule today. How I don't know is beyond me? One thing that I do know about is that Vloikasrexz wants corruption while Kyubinkitsune wants peace. I snapped out of my thoughts as Kyubinkitsune cut in.
"Of course you never hear about me Saphira, I had been working in the shadows myself and been working with the elves and Varden who opposed Galbatorix's rule while waiting for you all." Kyubinkitsune growls as the parasitic kitsune has a fang-like grin as this surprises all of us. Saphira grew suspicious as Eragon cut in. Cause Brom, Saphira and myself to listen in.
"Waiting for all of us, of what Kyubinkitsune? So you can take us to the king himself? Why would Saphira allow Volkossah to help me out with Garrow in the first place and why would Saphira trust a dragon that looks like death itself to help us on our journey? What about Shyiexkos and Vloikasrexz' themselves, what is their role in all of this? Why would Saphira trust Volkossah to help me in the first place?" Eragon clenched his fist in anger as he accused Kyubinkitsune of being the mad king's servant while firing questions after questions. I grew nervous at Eragon's sudden outburst while Brom was smoking on his pipe with a questionable look. Saphira growled as she felt her rider's anger toward me, I myself don't know the answers to these questions on why I'm helping Eragon and Saphira in the first place or why Saphira allows me to help her. My train of thought was cut off by Brom.
"I agree with Eragon here, Kyubinkitsune. These questions need to be answered." Brom was irate as he clutched his bite from Sxydrav. Brom and Eragon clearly hate me for electricity Saphira to the point of paralyzed her, while Sxydrav's hissing was muffed by her muzzle. I pray that Saphira can forgive me for my actions against her that were not my own, but were Vloikasrexz's own. I snapped out of my train of thought as Kyubinkitsune huffed in a sigh before giving out her answer. I was dreading her answers, lucky I was wrong.
"The first two questions you seek are not complicated, but since both of you insisted I have no chance. No I won't be taking you to the king, I'm not the mad king's servant Eragon. I'm the leader of a group of rescue dragons that I've been saving injured or near death dragons since Galbatorix's rule had started. For your third and fourth questions are complicated. Saphira allowed Volkossah to help your uncle Garrow because of my father Zikdralinrcx the parasitic god, who is the father of all parasitic dragons. My mother died giving birth to me, but that is not my point. My point is Zikdralinrcx's will forced Volkossah to help your rider Eragon, the parasitic god's will is to survive and thrive it's own species while eliminating the threats from a parasitic dragon's lives. For your second to last question about Saphira, trusting a dragon that looks like death itself is an insult to the parasitic dragon race and its subspecies the parasitic kitsunes. Me and Volkossah were both born this way, we can't help but look like this Eragon. I feel insulted by this but I will let this insult slide since I'm in a good mood right now. For your last question Shyiexkos's goal is to kill Volkossah and kill the hope of Alageasia, while Vloikasrexz's goal is to use Volkossah to crush your alliance with him. But there is a way to defeat Violkasrexz, but it will greatly corrupted Volkossah. As to why Saphira trust Volkossah is beyond me? But my guess is that Volkossah is the last male dragon that is good." Kyubinkitsune growls while puffing smoke in annoyance, while I was trying to process what Kyubinkitsune's answer was. Eragon, Saphira and Brom were in shock at Kyubinkitsune's words.
Apparently what Kyubinkitsune was telling us is that not only do I have Shyiexkos on my ass, but Violkasrexz is my enemy as well as the mad king right now. So… yeah this just gets a whole harder to defeat the mad king, with one more dragon popping up out of nowhere including Kyubinkitsune. I believe that Kyubinkitsune can help us in defeating the mad king himself, but I distrust her somehow. I dreaded the answer to Kyubinkitsune's solution as I was afraid to ask, but before I could Saphira cut into the conversion.
"Okay so why are random dragons appearing out of nowhere and what's the way for Volkossah to defeat Violkasrexz?" Kyubinkitsune whined from Saphira's two questions as the sapphire dragon had seen Kyubinkitsune's thoughts. I could see through her eyes, she was afraid of how I would react to the answer.
Eragon was trying to think of a way to trust me again, but the young rider would find it hard to. Same with Brom I will likely have to earn the storytellers and Saphira's rider trust back. Saphira, I'm sure she knows that I was not in control and I hope that Saphira can forgive me. On the other claw Sxydrav even though I'm bound to her through the eternal mark, Sxydrav can still betray me.
"Saphira random dragons are appearing out of nowhere, because someone is trying to play god. My guess is Vloikasrexz, who's playing god not Zvxcossak or Soltossah, I believe the unholy god is trying to find dragon tombs deep in Volkossah underground home, a dragon's resting place. He is relieving and recruiting them into his dragon army through the dark language. In truth Zvxcossak and Soltossah are just pawns in the unholy dragon's path of destruction. Now the only way for Volkossah to defeat the unholy god and his…. pawns I should say is to awaken Volkossah's parasitic darkness." Kyubinkitsune growls in fear while those words shock me to the core as Eragon, Brom, Saphira were stunned by the parasitic goddess's way to defeat the unholy dragon. I don't want to corrupt Alagaesia and ruin my friendship with the ones that I have come to trust by awakening my full power, but if push comes to shove. I'll try to keep my allies close as I'm determined to find a different way to awaken it. I know that I'll not corrupt anything, so I decided to cut in.
"Kyubinkitsune I can tell that, you're telling the truth, but I will find another way. I'll leave here with Saphira, Eragon, Brom and Sxydrav. I'll continue on my journey with my allies. I have prevailed through the hard times in my life, this is not different. This is my path of freedom not my path of destruction. Kyubinkitsune, since you have saved me from the unholy dragon god, I'll spare you only to tell me the entry toParlyilies Dracoiyz is but I don't trust your words… yet."I growled as I hoped that the sapphire dragon would trust me again, but it may be too late. Saphira snorted for me as she knew that I was being controlled by the unholy dragon of darkness.
Sxydrav was glad that Saphira did not blame me. Eragon and the storyteller will have to regain my trust, which is fine by me. Kyubinkitsune on the other claw is a dragon that cares for other dragons, but if she thinks that I'll infect Alagaesia with my parasitic darkness. I will likely drain all life from Alagaesia and will likely cause the land and water to decay. I snapped out of my thoughts as Kyubinkitsune was about to argue with me, but Saphira cut in.
"Volkossah is right Kyubinkitsune, despite him electrocuting me. I know that Volkossah was being controlled and there is another way to defeat Vloikasrexz I can feel it Kyubinkitsune. I don't trust him anymore for putting me in a paralyzing state, but it's not Volkossah's fault. If you want to blame somebody then blame the unholy dragon. As a way to defeat Vloikasrexz I believe that Volkossah must unlock his full power of parasitic darkness in a safer way to battle him. Volkossah has almost proven to me to become a mate for me, but lost my trust and friendship as well as my love for him, I can tell that his heart is pure evil. He just made a massive mistake that broke mine and his relationship apart. His powers on the other hand are twisted and evil, despite that I don't trust you Kyubinkitsune, but I'm willing to put my trust in you only if you don't attack my rider. For Volkossah… he must prove himself to me before I can fully trust him once again." Saphira growled out as I heart broke at her words. I know I fucked up, I hoped that the saphire dragon can trust me again now that is throw out but I must prove it all over at a sim chance. Saphira's words sparked an idea in my mind, an idea that is very risky. I snapped out of my thought as Kyubinkitsune could not help but agree with Saphira while the older dragon nodded her head.
Eragon and Brom were glad for Saphira standing up for herself as well for her own rider. I was saddened that I lost my ally's trust and will likely be a strange dragon that looks like death and yet somewhat Saphira is willing to put her trust in Kyubinkitsune but only just barely. I was stumbling for a reply, as Kyubinkitsune walked over to Sxydrav and used her own parasitic darkness to unchain my servant. While the parasitic goddess was doing this, Sxydrav was flexing her wings and claws. Eragon was having a private conversation with Saphira, lucky Saphira didn't push me out of her mind so I can hear them. Brom was silently thinking about Saphira's decision to regain my trust and to allow Kyubinkitsune to help us. Brom wasn't entirely happy with Saphira's decision, but the storyteller didn't want to poke a dragon that can devour a human while he was thinking about this. Sxydrav was stretching her sore legs and her jaw as I stood up.
"Saphira I'm surprised that you're willing to give this strange dragon a chance to help us, but I can't. Volkossah on the other hand doesn't get my trust, I'm not so sure about Kyubinkitsune either. Volkossah lost my trust, he is on his own unless he can prove to be trusted again." Eragon harshly replies as Saphira was glad that her rider is on her side, it's true that the sapphire dragon doesn't trust Kyubinkitsune and me at this moment. I don't fucking trust Kyubinkitsune either, but she the only hope that I have to unlock me full poltical.
"Thank you Eragon for siding with me." Saphira reply as I felt rage within me, I don't fucking care what or how Eragon, Brom and Saphira can distrust me somehow after a mistake that was not my own. I was the one who helped Eragon with getting his uncle to town and I managed to save Saphira in the hurricane yesterday, this is the fucking thanks that I get. Vloikasrexz possessed me causing my parasitic darkness to burst to life and now my three allies don't want anything to do with me. Whatever I will give them a piece of my mind after we live Kyubinkitsune to her own devices, I was snapped out of my thoughts by Kyubinkitsune.
"The secret entrance way to Parlyilies Dracoiyz is between Yazuac and Daret, you must release your host parasite Zlyldra in order to enter your home. Once you're there, find Dracoslhyziy and Zikdralinrcx in order to control your own darkness. Dracoslhyziy and Zildralinrcx can help you decipher the dark language of the parasitic dragons to control your own parasitic darkness. If you gain control over it, you will be able to destroy Vloikasrexz's influence from you plus on top of that Saphira's own parasitic darkness will dissolve, releasing her from her own curse since it's connected to your own twisted element. Hurry and fly to Parlyilies Dracoiyz before Shyiexkos finds you here. I'll stall Shyiexkos for you if she follows you. Your servant Skydrav will help you out in order to explore your home, as well as control yourself." Kyubinkitsune growled out as I knew this must be done, but I was not happy with Kyubinkitsune's alternation plan. If this was the only way to stop Vloikasrex's plan and make things easy for Eragon and Saphira's goal without my presence for a while then so be it I will help out on my part, but Kyubinkitsune didn't say that Eragon, Saphira and Brom can come with me to Parlyilies Dracoiyz. I know Alagaesia's layout like the back of my claws and I knew Eragon and Brom's path but I'm hoping that I can show them my home.
I snorted out smoke as I walked past Kyubinkitsune, towards the cave entrance with no response because I was too pissed at Eragon, Saphira and Brom's betrayal. I feel Skydrav slither up my right foreleg as Eragon and Brom follow me with Saphira being the last one out. I saw it was early evening as I took flight with Saphira following my lead, Eragon and Brom mounted their riding horses to continue towards Yazuac.
"Volkossah, I'm sorry for distrusting you and not defending you when you needed it. I've allowed Eragon and Brom to put the blame on you instead of on the unholy dragon. I understand if you don't want to talk to me that's fine, but I'm willing to regain your trust and love back, if you allow me too." Saphira growled out in fear as I was in my thoughts about my idea. I gave no response to Saphira cause if I did, my outburst would crush my remaining friendship that I have with the sapphire dragon and I don't want that. But I was focused on Kyubinkisune's words instead of worrying about my friendship with the sapphire dragon.
My risky idea for myself is to evolve. What I mean is a parasitic dragon starts out with a lower rank in the hivemind with no way to ascend into godhood, but the royal parasitic dragons like myself is able to ascend into godhood through corruption by Dracoslhyziy and Zildralinrcx. Whoever these dragons are, they are my only hope of unlocking my full twisted power. I decide to reply to Saphira, as I barely manage to contain the hatred within.
"Why Saphira, why do you allow Eragon and Brom to hate me over a simple mistake? You know better than this you could have defeated me yet you let you own rider and Brom to distrust me. Think about that and what to say carefully, cause if you don't then we're through permanently, but save it till we land for the night. But I'm willing to trust you again, only if you allow me to reverse your curse." My words dashed Saphira's hopes as I felt Saphira's connection cut off. While I flew ahead of Saphira, I heard her whimper in fear of losing our relationship.
For the rest of the evening, me and Saphira kept quiet as Eragon called us down to land in a clearing to rest for the night. After landing I walk to the other side of the clearing to clear my head to lay down by myself for Saphira as we both watch Brom and Eragon spar. Saphira was thinking about my ultimatum and how she can trust me. I was hoping that Saphira would answer my question as Brom continued training Eragon in swordsmanship.
A/N: I know that Volkossah's and Saphira's relationship was a questionable choice by me on how fast Saphira and Eragon trusted Volkossah, I know that you are wondering about Volkossah's and Saphira's relationship right now. Don't worry Volkossah and Saphira will trust each other again, I just wanted to break that trust between Eragon, Saphira and Volkossah so that I can rebuild it back up the proper way. But Saphira still cares about Volkossah, she just doesn't trust him as of now. With that out of the way and clear up, read, review and enjoy.
