Will of chaos

Pov Arash (True Dragon Emperor):

“You don’t understand, every second I know he’s within my reach only increases my anger.” (I)

“It is not within your reach, even you cannot trespass on territory claimed by the Gods.” (Juliano)

“…” (I)

I know he’s here, I can feel his presence just because he’s a Dragon, I can feel Akatosh’s rejection of him, it only encourages me to go after him more.

“They will come here, we know that and they also know that we will be waiting.” (Juliano)

“That is, as long as we have the Hallow.” (Juliano)

“I told you to deliver it to the Temple of Blood back then.” (I)

“I can’t, it represents the pride of all Demons, our origin, I understand the importance of such an item, but my pride…” (Juliano)

A Demon’s pride is more important than their lives, they are proud of who they are, they are proud of their power, they are proud of their achievements, they are proud of their bloodlines and they are proud of their origins even when almost none of them know about it.

“More than once I thought to let my people know about it.” (Juliano)

“That would only bring suffering to them.” (I)

“Don’t sully that person’s will by doing the opposite of what he wanted.” (I)

“…” (Juliano)

“It’s hard for me to see his name erased from history, to know that people don’t know who he was, what he did, what he sacrificed…” (Juliano)

Just by saying that the clouds in the sky darken and the Aura normally hidden from the world revolts, I put my hand on Juliano’s shoulder to stop him from talking.

“There are things that shouldn’t be said out loud.” (I)

“…” (Juliano)

Sigh

The world itself will follow his will, rejecting and eliminating anyone until he tries to reveal his identity to everyone.

“I understand… even among Dragons, only when someone takes the place I hold today as leader of the entire race is his knowledge passed down.” (I)

I still remember when I learned about him, every word he said made my body tremble under the pressure of the world, but even under these intense attacks I had to resist while listening to everything, this serves as a test to know if someone is worthy of having the position I hold today while not letting everything about him be lost forever.

“There are things that shouldn’t be said…” (I)

I was talking with Juliano in a garden of exotic flowers, it was the middle of the night while only the two of us are here talking.

“Have you managed to do what we agreed to?” (Juliano)

“Yes, the Dungeon Master has already been captured, we couldn’t leave her alone, even though she’s not strong enough, a Dungeon Master is still a nuisance.” (I)

“I sent half of the mainland’s Dragons there, so there’s nothing to worry about…” (I)

“(I know you can hear me Arash.)” (Rhaegal)

“RRROOOOOAAAAAAARRRRR!!!!!!” (I)

I couldn’t help it when my Aura and killing intent exploded, spreading across the entire continent at the mere fact of hearing that disgusting voice in my mind.

“(Calm down Arash, the time of our fight is approaching, but it’s still early.)” (Rhaegal)

“(YOU FILTHY WASTE OF SPACE IN ALL EXISTENCE, I WILL KILL YOU AS MANY TIMES AS I NEED…)” (I)

“(As impatient as ever, I don’t know why out of all the candidates you were chosen to lead our race.)” (Rhaegal)

“(HAHAHAHAHAHA…)” (I)

“(DON’T TALK ABOUT RACE WITH ME SCUM!!!!)” (I)

“(YOU ARE NO LONGER A DRAGON, YOUR LINEAGE AND AUTHORITY HAVE BEEN WITHDRAWN BY YOUR BETRAYAL!!!!)” (I)

“(I didn’t come to discuss Akatosh’s mistakes, I came to talk about something I heard recently, it seems your daughter managed to break free and come back from the dead.)” (Rhaegal)

I locked my killing intent on the exact spot where he is, he may have lost his Bloodline as a True Dragon, but it doesn’t change the fact that he’s always been a Dragon, much to my chagrin.

“Arash calm down, I don’t know what’s going on, but don’t get carried away by your emotions.” (Juliano)

“…” (I)

I felt my Aura being pressed by Juliano’s Aura and many others, so I took the scale that I carry on a cord and looked at it, it was a black crystal scale with sparkles inside that resemble stars of a cloudless night.

One of my daughter’s scales that I’ve carried with me at all times since I left her side because of this damned war.

I take a deep breath and use the memory of my daughter to calm myself down, this time I’m not alone anymore, I can’t let myself be consumed by anger and make a mistake, detail I need to be calm and think before I act so I don’t let my daughter run away danger.

“(YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HIDE INSIDE THE CHURCH OF THE LIGHT FOREVER AND THIS TIME I WILL NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE OF LEAVING YOUR SOUL WHOLE.)” (I)

I close the mental connection he formed with telepathy, doing my best to keep my irritated tone until the end even as I managed to calm down.

“He’s trying to provoke me and he’s succeeding.” (I)

“Has Rhaegal contacted you?” (Juliano)

“Yes, just like you said it would.” (I) 𝒃𝒆𝙙𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝙤𝙢

“He wants you to repeat your recklessness of thousands of years ago, back then you almost killed yourself in your rage, but this time they would be prepared against you.” (Juliano)

“I know, he knew he couldn’t manipulate me, but even though he tried, Rhaegal is being cautious.” (I)

“Let’s start preparing ourselves too, the next battle will be more than difficult, are you sure you don’t want to talk to your daughter?” (Juliano)

“No, if I’m next to her it will generate a bigger target in her, I can feel that Rhaegal was stronger than before, I only realized that after calming down” (I)

His power is different now, I could feel that his mind was much stronger and I also felt a touch of Divinity within him.

I can only imagine how much he must have tried to become stronger, Rhaegal has always been very vindictive, this time he will be targeting me.
