Within the regal halls of the grand castle, the throne room was the epicenter of power and authority.The room was bathed in the warm glow of flickering torches, casting long shadows across the marble floor, while the air was thick with tension and unease.It was a place where weighty decisions were made and dire news was often delivered.It was within this room that the king stood, his imposing form seated upon his throne, while his most trusted holy knight, Gabriel with his knight armor, knelt before him, delivering a report of great import."He is a dragon, sir," Gabriel declared, his voice reverberating off the walls of the grand chamber. "I don't know how he managed to take the form of a human, but from the aura he released and some physical changes I noticed, it's no doubt that we are against a dragon and a frightening one at that."The king listened intently, his keen eyes studying Gabriel's every movement. He was not one to make hasty decisions, and so he weighed Gabriel's wor
'What happened? Where am I? Oh right'.Elvis had lost all sense of time and direction. He was adrift in a vast, empty space that seemed to go on forever. His body had disappeared, leaving behind only a shining, ethereal form that glowed with an otherworldly light.In this desolate void, there was no sound, no colour, no life. There was only the emptiness, pressing in on him from all sides, suffocating him with its unrelenting silence.As he floated there, Elvis struggled to remember how he had ended up in this place. He had vague memories of him fighting against Gabriel, and then... nothing. Had he died? Was this the afterlife? Or was he trapped in some sort of limbo, waiting for something to happen?It was impossible to tell. Time had lost all meaning in this place, and he had no way of measuring how long he had been adrift. All he knew was that he was alone, with nothing but his own thoughts for company.He tried to move, to reach out and touch something, anything, but his bod
Diana was taken aback as she held the damp cloth in her hand, poised to cleanse Elvis' upper body. "Eh?" she gasped, her eyes widening in shock at the unexpected sight before her.Elvis, too, was startled by the sudden encounter. For a few moments, the two stood in stunned silence, neither daring to break the spell that had descended upon them."Diana?" Elvis finally managed, hoping to confirm that he was not hallucinating.Tears of joy welled up in Diana's eyes as she gazed at the familiar face before her. "Is it truly you, Elvis?" she choked out, her voice thick with emotion.Elvis offered a small smile, placing a comforting hand on her head and rubbing it gently. "It is I," he assured her, "I have returned."Overwhelmed with emotion, Diana tossed the rag aside and flung herself into Elvis' waiting arms. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she embraced him tightly, reveling in the warmth and security of his familiar presence.As the two reunited, the serpent man and Charlotte, who wer
As the group began to disperse, a few chose to linger, including Drew, Luna, and Tina. Having been residents of the domain plane for some time, they had grown accustomed to its inhabitants and even forged friendships with a select few.Upon learning of Elvis's recovery from his coma, the trio was overjoyed and hastened to pay him a visit."Drew, Luna, Tina, it's good to see you all," Elvis greeted them warmly.With heads bowed in contrition, Drew spoke on behalf of the group. "Elvis, we're so sorry for what happened."Elvis's smile was gentle as he surveyed his friends. He knew it was Charlotte who had brought them to this place, and he cast a knowing glance in her direction before refocusing his attention on the trio. "No need to apologize, guys. It wasn't your fault."A palpable sense of relief washed over the group, lifting the heavy burden of guilt from their shoulders.Luna, in particular, was overcome with emotion. She threw her arms around Elvis and wept tears of joy, expressin
The following day, Elvis woke up and ventured outside, pondering how the little Dryad was doing. He made his way to the backyard of his residence where he found some Elves still tending to the young plant that had now grown into a sturdy and towering tree."Good morning, domain lord," the head elf in charge greeted him.Elvis simply acknowledged their salutations with a wave and approached the tree. Upon closer inspection, he noticed something extraordinary.'A dragon mark,' he gasped to himself. A bold and striking tattoo of a dragon head crest was etched onto the side of the tree's trunk, remarkably resembling Elvis if he takes his dragon form."We too were taken aback by the tree's dragon mark," one of the observing Elves remarked, noticing Elvis's fascination with it.The Elves were astonished upon discovering the dragon mark shape on the tree and believed that it might be why the domain lord held the tree in such high regard. They endeavored to treat it with utmost care.Elvi
Elvis stood before the Seven Shades, his blood dripping from his fingertips onto each of their outstretched palms. As the droplets of blood touched their skin, a dragon crest tattoo materialized on each of their bodies, and they felt a sudden surge of newfound strength coursing through their veins.Jorm's dragon crest tattoo on his chest grew markedly darker, and his strength continued to burgeon, evident in the way he stood taller and broader.But then, Charlotte's blessing manifested in a most peculiar fashion. Two droplets of Elvis's blood upon her head were all it took to trigger a metamorphosis. Spider webs began to envelope her, soon cocooning her in a silken shroud, and Elvis was understandably worried.'System, what is happening to Charlotte?' Elvis inquired, fearing that something had gone awry.[She is currently undergoing Evolution. Drinking your blood in the past and her current absorption of your blood have instigated this transformation] the System replied.Elvis was p
(Boom!) A resounding boom echoed through the forest as Elvis's fist connected with the white tiger's face, shattering its teeth and leaving it writhing on the ground in agony. He looked down at the wounded creature, a faint sense of dissatisfaction creeping into his mind. "I won't get stronger at this rate if I continue like this," he muttered to himself.As he settled down, leaning his back against the trunk of a nearby tree, a voice suddenly spoke out from beside him. "Why don't you just end the pitiful beast's life? Why let it suffer in pain?" The sound caused Elvis to whip his head around to face the source.Approaching him were two figures, the first is a man who approached Elvis possessed a commanding presence that was difficult to ignore. His skin was a rich, brown skin that seemed to hold a depth and complexity that defied description. He had sharp, chiseled cheekbones and a broad, noble forehead that was crowned by a full head of hair that appeared overgrown. His eyes wer
As they emerged from the portal, a breathtaking scene unfolded before their eyes. Towering trees, lush green grass, and an array of dazzlingly beautiful birds flitting about amidst a crystal-clear waterfall that concealed a cave beyond its shimmering curtain.Elvis was momentarily awestruck, for he had never witnessed such natural beauty before, not even his domain could be compared to this. At first, he believed that they had arrived in his own domain plane, but upon closer inspection, he realized that this place was entirely different. It was smaller and lacked the striking grandeur of his own domain, but it exuded an aura of tranquil serenity that was undeniable."Remarkable," Elvis breathed, casting a reverent gaze about the idyllic scene. "This place is breathtakingly beautiful and peaceful.""Thank you," June replied modestly, a small smile playing at the corner of his lips. "Welcome to my little paradise. It may not be as extensive or grand as your own domain, but it's my own
