Pov Ortiz (True Star Dragon):
I am the assistant of Dragon Emperor Arash, he rose to the top of all Dragons by his batch from a Serpent Dragon, a monster until evolving into a Dragon and further on evolving again into a True Dragon.
He is admired by all Dragons, besides he was responsible for protecting Dragons for a long time, his deeds are legend and the results of his battles are responsible for great changes in geography wherever he fights.
For beings like us True Dragons who live such long lives, we end up being too conservative and accommodating, so those who lead the Dragons are not chosen purely in power, but also those who possess wisdom, boldness, and most importantly, have an understanding of the which is "strength".
Dragon Emperor Arash possesses great wisdom and daring, but he is also greatly feared for his power and what happens to those who become his enemies.
His name is synonymous with inconceivable brutality, cruelty, destruction, and fury.
The greatest of all his stories that the Dragons know is the tragedy that befell his family, an attack without any reason or warning, an attack that led to the death of his wife and daughter.
All Dragons and Spirits went into a rage that day from what I heard, battles took place in all parts of the world due to the indignation of Spirits and Dragons, but the greatest destruction was done by the True Black Dragon, lord Arash.
He brought destruction to the Church of Light's largest bases and wiped out most of its army, his fury spread miasma across two continents, and even badly wounded he never stopped the attack.
The Elder Dragons had to intervene just to stop him for fear that he would also kill himself during these attacks, he was 1000 years chained and guarded by the Elder Dragons until he regained the consciousness that had been taken by their fury.
But during those 1000 years, his roar of fury, hate, sadness, and loneliness was heard by half the continent, I remember my childhood hearing that, the pain in that roar is something I can still hear when I close my eyes.
But almost two years ago we heard from an Oracle sent from the Great Dragon God Akatosh that the daughter of the now Dragon Emperor Arash was alive.
As soon as he heard about the living daughter he started to fly away, he didn't even wait for the Priest to finish talking, but it seems that there were already many Dragons prepared to stop him, the fight was taken to a separate space, but even so, it split the space and destroyed things a lot, but they managed to calm him down enough.
All the Dragons watched him all the time for fear he would run away, they all knew that him approaching his daughter would only bring him more pain later, but stopping him is a difficult thing.
But everyone's concern was over when she arrived, the one known as the Living Nightmare.
The Dragon Castle was carved using an entire mountain, I work as an assistant to the Dragon Emperor, I do various jobs for him and I really enjoy my work.
"Ortiz? How is he today?" (Relius)
"Furious, he tried to jump out the window but fell asleep falling off the cliff outside." (I)
"Damn! I think I'll come back later." (Relius)
"It would be better, to make sure he doesn't try to run away again, the Living Nightmare is more attached to him than before." (I)
"But she doesn't have to..." (Relius)
"I think it's just an excuse to bother him, taking advantage of his appearance like that." (I)
"He couldn't attack her." (Relius)
"Why did you want to see him?" (I)
"I got word from the Temple, it seems that Vestyne met 'you know who' on Cyrion Island and said they're coming to the Central Continent." (Relius)
Before I finish speaking, Relius covers my mouth as he looks around worriedly.
"Don't underestimate his senses, I don't want to be..." (Relius)
"He's after me, isn't he?" (Relius)
"Yes…why me too!?" (I)
Relius tried to stop me from speaking, but behind him, there were already great shadow claws descending on both of us before pulling us into the shadows, so when we looked around we were in the half-destroyed throne room with Dragon Emperor Arash on the throne.
He is in his Human form a 2 meter tall man, two red eyes, black skin, short unkempt white hair, and a muscular body full of black scales on his arms.
The living Nightmare was lying on his lap, a beautiful little girl with silver hair, blood red eyes, pale white skin, and an appearance that reflects youthful innocence, something she is not.
She controls all kinds of abnormal effects, illusions, and deceptions, known for her laziness and the way she tortures her enemies in a world of eternal nightmares.
"Who are you guys talking about?" (Dragon Emperor Arash)
"Do you think I did well by just letting them go?" (I)
"Yes, no one will know them and they are smarter to know what they should do, more so than certain people." (Irina)
"Everyone stayed inside the Dungeon while we were on the island, so they should be fine on their own." (Irina)
It's been 2 days since we left the Navary Kingdom and just today after confirming that we weren't followed, I gave the quest to Lilian and her family who will be returning to the Navary Kingdom.
As a realm focused on commerce and with such a long history, I have no doubt that it will be the best place to get information and certain forbidden items, so I left it to them to take care of that as they fared better and are not known.
"Where do we go from here?" (Irina)
"We are abandoning the merchants' caravan, I'll take public transport from here." (I)
"But why does it have to be me?" (Irina)
"Could be you or Irius, the two of you were very calm on Cyrion Isle and must have gone unnoticed so you'll be fine with me in your shadow for the trip." (I)
My plan is to change the person making the trip to our destination several times, so no informant we have the misfortune of seeing will know what to report.
