Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Arthur retreated towards where his other girls were and waited there patiently. He was lucky that none of his girls were impatient to try out the city up front.

"Are you saying this is just an illusion?" Sara asked in doubt.

"I know it seems weird but that's what I know for now," Arthur simply said while watching the normal day of this piece of the past.

He stood there for hours before his team joined him while watching with him in silence and anticipation.

"Are you sure this is something important?" Tina was already restless, "can't we just go in and ask them directly?"

"I told you this isn't real," Arthur took a deep breath but before he could even say anything more, something developed all of sudden in the city.

Something appeared high in the sky before descending like a meteor towards the center of the city.

"What is that?" Amelia muttered.

"It's… a dragonair's pillar," Sara instantly recognized it while Arthur just gave her a side glance.

"Take cover!" suddenly Tina shouted while everyone around didn't need her warning to hurry and retreat.

All but one… Arthur.

He remained in his place watching this silent devastational explosion that erupted from the heart of this city. It all happened when the pillar hit the ground, causing a massive cloud of black light that expanded massively to engulf everything in his sight.

"Amazing," Arthur muttered while the pile of dust and ruins stopped just tens of meters away from him. "I swear this looks almost real except for the lack of sound."

Arthur noticed the silent explosion and that made him just more confident in staying behind. He kept his attention focused entirely over the city that was now under utter devastation.

"What do you want to show me?" he muttered before the next moment he heard a roar.

"What the hell?" he turned around but there was no dragon there. "This…" he turned again to see a black shadow of a dragon appearing from the middle of the explosion.

The black dragon moved slightly up in the air while he faintly roared as his eyes moved to glance directly towards Arthur.

"Can he see me?" Arthur was hesitant as he muttered softly.

"Sure my boy, I can perfectly see you."

Arthur felt like his soul was being squeezed under a silent pressure. He felt like being gazen upon a higher being and he was simply… an ant.

"Oh… you have done many things lad," the black dragon sneered before turning around, "you can see this piece of time and space despite being too far in the future. Interesting…"

The black dragon then roared faintly while breathing out a vast cloud of smoke. "Look well distant kid from the far future, this is how all the black dragonairs are born, and this is why no one can even stop us."

The dragon then roared a mighty one, but Arthur didn't hear the voice this time. It was like that memory in past time returned to function normally.

By the long and deep roar of that dragon shadow, the entire explosion died out. Everything was pushed by this single roar to show off what lay inside.

And what Arthur once saw before as a mighty and strong city and castles turned to a stretch of runes.

All the armies stationed there were killed, and no one appeared to be alive at all.

"How can this devastation be caused by that pillar?" he muttered to himself in doubt while the next thing that happened made his scalp numb.

From the ashes and piles of ruins, from all the burnt dead bodies down below… sudden moves started to happen.

Arthur had to close his eyes once before reopening them just to make sure. In front of him he saw many dead corpses standing up, getting bigger and deformed before black dragons appeared lively and vibrantly roaring down below.

"How can this be…?!!!" he was shocked beyond description and the next thing he had in mind was just… his system.

"See boy?" the memory got distorted again while the dark shadow of the dragon rose higher as it stood high above him. "This is our way of creation… our sacred moment that no one had ever laid an eye upon before and stayed the same…"

The shadow went silent for a moment before muttering, "I don't know what fate wants from you, but heed my advice and amend your own crimes. You did so many to stop us, your own family, and now you must realize how foolish this dream of yours is."

Arthur experienced the same pressure again but this time he had a slight change over his face.

"Who are you?" he asked with quite vigilance and seriousness over his face.

"I'm the father of all black dragonairs," the black shadow said, "It's me who started everything, breathed every single life inside the dead bodies of all and turned them into my big and mighty family. No one can stop me, no one can stop us, even some weak and foolish piece of my soul who suddenly grew conscionse."

Arthur suddenly had a moment of enlightenment. "Never thought…" he muttered while his eyes shone brightly blue light all of sudden.

And his body started to emit faint blue light as well.

"Who are you?" this time the black dragon muttered before adding, "You… you can't be allowed to live anymore. I'll seek you in every era and won't stop until I get your mind out of your worthless skull and will turn you into one of my loyal pets."

"Humph," Arthur harrumphed as the next instant the memory took over again as the shade started to fade until it dissipated.

Arthur glanced at the dragonairs filling the entire world in front of him before the memory started to fade away.

And the real world reappeared again where only a stretch of ancient runes covered with tons of dirt remained.

"This…" Amelia came from behind before adding, "is this what remained after such an explosion?"
