Chapter116. It has to be me
Master was sitting alone in his room, drinking alone. It was clear that his mind was preoccupied and he looked a little disturbed.
His mind was consumed with thoughts of the queen’s mysterious resurrection. He pondered over the strange circumstances surrounding her return to life, unable to shake off the feeling that something significant was at play. His brow furrowed as he brooded, lost in the depths of his contemplation.
Just as the silence of his solitude began to settle, the door to his room burst open, and Raba, rushed in, her scales shimmering with urgency. “Master!” Raba exclaimed, breathless from her haste. ” I beg your pardon for this rudeness but you must come quickly! ”
Master’s eyes widened in surprise, his thoughts abruptly interrupted.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
” There is something really urgent that you need to see! ”
She literally grabbed Master’s wrist and pulled him towards the Royal security chambers.
” Raba, what’s happening? ”
He asked unable to hold back his curiosity. For Raba to behave in this manner, he knew that it was something big.
” It’s our Dragon Lord and Lord Lucian. There are reports of them entangled in a fight. In the human realm. ”
Master stopped in his track in utter surprise,
” A fight? ”
Raba was still trying to catch her breath, but she replied nevertheless, “It seems that they have been entangled in a long standing conflict, a feud that has escalated to a point of no return. Their disagreements and differences have finally erupted into a full blown battle, threatening not only their own lives but also the delicate balance between the dragon realm and the human realm.”
Master knew very well the consequences of such a conflict. He knew the potential for devastation that lay within the immense power of dragons. The lives of countless innocents were at risk, and the delicate harmony that had been painstakingly maintained for centuries hung precariously in the balance.
“Tell me, Raba, where is this fight taking place?” Master asked, his voice steady but laced with urgency.
Raba quickly composed herself, her eyes focused on the task at hand. “The fight is apparently unfolding near the border between the dragon realm and the human realm at the moment. The clash of their powers has already caused tremors throughout the land, and nearby villages are in a state of panic. We must intervene swiftly to prevent further destruction. But there is another problem. They keep changing the field of their battle. They have been wrecking havoc all over the human world and we don’t know where they will end up next. ”
Master nodded solemnly, his mind filled with thousands of worries. He knew that he had to act swiftly and decisively
“Prepare our fastest winged companions, Raba,” Master commanded, his voice resolute. “We must rally the dragons, calm their raging spirits, and find a resolution to this conflict. Lives depend on it.”
Raba bowed deeply as a show of unwavering loyalty. “As you command, Master,” she replied, before hurrying off to carry out his orders.
Master took a deep breath, his thoughts now focused on the imminent task at hand.
” Umm, Master… ” Raba was suddenly back, ” there is someone who wishes to see you. ”
She bowed as Master saw Kiara standing behind her. He bowed at her as she did as well.
” My lady, what brings you here? ”
He asked with a little surprise.
” Please carry on, I will have to leave! ” Raba bowed to excuse herself but Kiara stopped her with her hands.
” Stay where you are. ” She commanded.
” But… My lady… ” Raba fumbled as she looked from Kiara to Master and back. She knew she had a very urgent task at hand but she knew she had no power to go against the Dragon Queen’s order.
” Kiara, please don’t stall her. She needs to tend to something urgent. ”
Master tried to intervene when Kiara thundered,
” Do you have the authority to overrule what I say? ”
Master looked taken aback.
The Kiara he knew would never raise her voice in front of him like that. But this one someone who had come back from the dead. Nothing aught to be normal about that.
” Of course I don’t. I beg your pardon! ”
Master bowed . ” But you don’t understand what is at stake… ”
” I don’t? But you do? ” She asked with a voice more grave, ” And how do you plan to stop the Dragon Lord? With the Elite force? Don’t you realise you all are but mere mimes if he as much as orders you to stay put. You can’t even override my orders but you aim to restrain your Lord when he is so ferocious. ”
Kiara scoffed.
Master understood what she wanted to show them. She wasn’t being rude.
” Then what do you suggest my lady? ”
He asked Kiara . This time his voice was much more calm. Raba looked at her optimistically as well.
” Let me go to them. Do not send anybody behind me. ”
She ordered as she looked at their faces which stared back at her with worry and disbelieve.
” We cannot possibly do that. It’s dangerous. You just came back to life. We cannot loose you again. ”
Kiara laughed. A sad melancholy but very soothing laugh.
” I will be fine. If anybody can stop them, it’s me. It all started because of me. I must be the one to end it. Besides, I have things that I need to ask them. They both owe me answers and I have to claim them. ”
With that she turned off as gracefully as was possible but it had such a force that made both Master and Raba cower.
Beneath her enchanting exterior was an indomitable power. With each beat of her steps gusts of wind were unleashed, and the ground trembled beneath her as she moved. Flames dance within her breath, capable of scorching the earth or warming it with gentle heat. In her eyes was the wisdom of centuries, a gaze that demanded respect and commanded authority.
