“Sure do, observe me closely,” Mag’ladroth said as his eyes turned completely hollow. The air around him changed as his aura turned heavy. The void through which they were all watching trembled. From Mag’ladoth’s actions, it was clear hat the power he held over the Void was enough to make even the elemental particles tremble in fear.

It wasn’t just that but Ray also felt the after effects. His blood started to pump more and more as the bloodline energy ran rampart. 

“Leave you body be. Don’t try to control it,’ Mag’ladroth advised.

Ray nodded as he let the bloodline run more and more. As the bloodline energy ran, Ray felt the Void Elemental energy get more and more concentrated. However strange it seemed to him, Ray let it be. He didn’t interfere with it and followed Mag’laroth’s advise. 

Soon, Ray’s eyes changed. The bloodline energy rushed there as his eyes turned dark. A dark void appeared in them as Ray’s body went limp. Even in his consciousness, changes started to occur as the whole bright sky turned dark. 

In start, Ray’s consciousness was completely blank and it had changed overtime but not much. The sky turning dark was by far the biggest change there and it was not just the sky turning dark. Small dots appeared in the sky as they connected to one and started to make a pattern and not just any pattern because Ray looked at it closely and noticed that the patterns aligned to form constellations.

“Beautiful,” Ray simply remarked as he felt himself be connected to the stars and the constellations seemed to imply something. As Ray went into thinking for what they meant, he saw FengFeng turn her attention away from the Void Screen that Mag’ladroth had formed and looked at Ray. She glanced up at the sky and then looked back at Ray, “You should thank Mag’ladroth for this. This is a great boon he has provided you with,” She told him with a smile and then walked up to him. 

Two feathery wings that blazed with a calm soothing fire bloomed behind her. She flapped her wings as she held Ray close to herself and lifted him above the ground along with herself.

Gaining altitude in his own consciousness, it was then first time Ray saw it from above, “Wahhh,” Ray exclaimed in horror and excitement as he felt adrenaline pumping through his body. He had flown a lot of times but this was the first time he was able to fully enjoy the sensation of flying and if he had to be honest, Ray loved it.

Even though there was no air or wind in his consciousness, the experience was none the less great. For Ray, it was never the other things that made him happy, the little things or gestures were enough to lift up his mood. Living ion poverty for most of his life, it was just that Ray had so many responsibilities on his shoulders that he forgot to have fun when he was a kid and FengFeng understood it well. Therefore, she helped him a lot and even tried to cheer him up whenever he came to his consciousness.

“So these are the constellations,” she said to him as she reached an altitude as all the stars were clear and shone brightly. As he looked at the closely, he noticed them even clearly and to some extent even understood their patterns and what they meant.

“Allow me to help you with these,” FengFeng said as she pointed at the constellation that was the farthest away. The constellation was the most chaotic and looked very strange. It almost no sense at all as the stars seemed to haphazardly arranged. Ray looked at them, confused over how they were arranged, Ray asked, “Are you sure that’s a constellation and not just some haphazard arrangement of stars,” 

“Yes, i am certain. Well, Ray! Lemme tell you something. The phoenixes have a great talent for astrology so if you refute my knowledge on stars and constellations, that would be something very hurtful,” FengFeng spoke. Her words were soft as they echoed in Ray’s mind. It almost felt as if she was hurt and this made Ray doubt if he had unintentionally hurt her feelings, “Oh, I didn’t mean it like that. I just asked because I don’t perceive anything from them,” Ray spoke back in defense as not to sadden FengFeng. After all, he cared a lot for her and didn’t want her to get sad.

“No, its just that your knowledge about stars and constellations is too shallow that you don’t get what this means. So lemme explain,” She said as Ray nodded and starters listening to her.

“So this star is named ‘Draco Abyssus’ It is an ancient name with the first part referring to dragons and the next referring to the abyss. Consequently implying to the dragons of abyss. Long before humans and most of the creatures on this universe were few strong clans that ruled almost whole universe. Of these mythical clans were the dragons of abyss. These were the most mysterious of the draconian clans and the most feared and revered as well,” 

“You see, the dragons of abyss were none other than the famed Void Dragons and Mag’ladroth over there,” She said, pointing towards Mag’ladroth, “He was the leader and the primal ancestor of the clan. From the start of time, the clan was referred and feared. It was for their strength and control over the Void. Not just that but their clan was always enshrouded in mystery as they rarely interacted with anyone and kept everything to themselves,” 

“Due to their secrecy, some clans felt like intervening and tried to pry into their teritorry tog et hold of some treasures form the abyss dragons of that time,”𝗇𝗈𝓥𝖾𝓁𝑛𝗲xt.𝑐𝓞𝐌

As FengFeng took a break from speaking, Ray who was completely immersed in her story asked, “What happened afterwards?” 

“Well, as for what happened,” FengFeng muttered as her expression turned nostalgic as if she was present there and still remembered each and every thing in detail.

“The dragons of abyss showed their presence that day and it was when the other clans understood that dragons were never to be messed with, especially those of the abyss. It was a whole army of three hundred celestial who attacked and they were led by ten commanders who were well above the Celestial Realm,” 

“Then?” Ray asked with much excitement.

“What then? The mist of the Void came. It enshrouded everything and that was when blood fell. It seemed as if the spaced had been painted red by the blood. They said that it was just a few dragons who emerged from a swirling vortex of death. Their figures were always blinking and distorting as they had the whole space on their fingertips,”

“What?” Ray asked in shock but turned silent. He wanted to hear more of it as FengFeng started speaking,

“The space that day was changed completely. I still remember the Phoenix ancestor calling me and showing me the whole spectacle. She even warned me to never mess with them. That day, i saw the celestials get murdered mercilessly. Their bodies split apart as the whole pockets of space were exploded. Not just that but the lucky ones were those who died without knowing how they died. As for the others, it was as if they were grinded in a juice maker,” She said and then turned silent. As if the carnage still lingered in her heart.

“After that?” Ray asked.

“Nothing,” The eras changed and the Dragons of the Abyss slowly turned rarer and rarer as there were no more to be found ever in the universe. Only Mag’ladroth being the exception but he never said a word over this topic,” She said and then looked at the constellation as she told Ray about its uses, “This constellation shows the main strength and power of the Void you hold and control. The brighter and more haphazard it is, the stronger your Void is. Also, every time you use your Void, you will use the power from here,” 

“Okay,” Ray nodded.

“As for the others. They are linked to this constellation,” FengFeng told him and then turned to the other constellation, “So this is ‘Serpen Nihis’ it shows a dragon coiled around an empty essence of stars that resemble the void. It’s eyes show its vigor and strength. This constellations who’s you and your connection to the Void. In essence, both the constellations are connected to one another and work together. As one gets stronger, the other one also gets stronger. So take care of both of them and try to understand them on a deeper level. Once you do, i will tell you more about the remaining two constellations,” FengFeng advised as a she turned around.

Taking Ray along with her, she came back to Mag’ladroth’s Void Screen, only to see that the show had ended. The whole planet was changed and all that was there to see was the vast planes of diamond like substance enshrouded in a red mystical fog. Even though they looked beautiful, the crimson that ran over them like a river was evidence of the carnage that the supreme being that stood atop the highest peak had done as the Void Dragon finally showed its existence by roaring loudly in the air.
