“From the shadows! We shall be the eyes and ears of the world. Our influence shall be the guiding force of the world. They say that when you wave your hand, the shadow follows. Yes, but WE are different. The shadow doesn’t have the strength to defy physics. BUT WE HAVE POWER! We will come OUT of the shadow, and ACT! Even if the hand reaches out if we decide, we will emerge from its own shadow and BREAK it!” Andrey spoke passionately, gesturing with his hands.
His voice reverberated in the cave as black mana emerged from him and his Abyssal Crack markings activated.
The beautifully glowing rose petals Andrey had on his right arm were charging with mana.
“You know your goal now, Onyx. I am entrusting this to you to carry out… until I am back.” Andrey spoke and from the tip of his finger a laser-like beam carv
We are starting a new arc, everybody. Prepare for something you've never seen/read before!!!
“Such a sight. Is this a dreamworld?” Andrey feasted his eyes upon the tall sky-scraping, futuristic buildings engulfed by lights.“There literally are buildings that go above the clouds, oh my god!” his voice trembled from excitement and marvel. The forest the red-eyed black-dressed young man was in was actually a part of a huge mountain under which, in the distance, were seen beautiful green plains and a city with dimmed blue buildings from which emitted lights through their windows. “I can’t wait to feast on the details of this city.” Andrey smiled and jumped from the tree, ejecting himself into the sky. His black hair and cloak flapped powerfully from the wind generated by the huge speed his body generated.
After the four men’s failure before the dragon’s might, they rushed their way back to the city, probably about to confront their leader. “Please, reveal yourself. As you saw, I am a friend to your kind!” Andrey yelled in the forest. He had waited for the dragon hunters to be far enough to not hear him. Lightning struck just a few steps away from Andrey’s location, from it a tall figure emerged. A deep manly voice spoke, “It seems you have received a gift from one of us. Are you with the cult?” the man asked, as he revealed more of his figure, walking towards Andrey. His height towered a head above that of Andrey’s, making him about a meter and eighty-five tall. Besides the sharp facial features, he had astonishing bright blue eyes insi
Alextraz’s lightning body turned back to normal as he arrived before Reinareth, but the dragon disappeared in a literal flash.Andrey kept his guard up, not taking his eyes off the blue-eyed, raging man.“You’re with the cult, aren’t you!?” Alextraz yelled and turned to Andrey.A strike aimed at the stomach immediately intercepted the answer. Andrey hardly blocked the lightning punch with his hand.Rapid attacks hit both shoulders and Andrey’s solar plexus. To finish off the combo, Alextraz motioned his hands in a circle and swung his fist, opening it at the exact center of the blue circle he drew. Less than a second later, a white beam of mana burned through Andrey.Sent flying and trying
Having little to no time to look around, Andrey noticed he was now in a large hall. Lots of holograms and displays. The blue, red and yellow colors decorated the futuristic furniture. Judging by the amount of moving led lights, there wasn’t a single place where technology hadn’t been already implemented and installed. A glowing blade of crystals was the next thing Andrey noticed. Oh, that’s right! Mister Prince Alextraz just teleported us somewhere and yelled at the guards to kill me. Splendid. My body is acting on its own. I feel my consciousness fade to black, leaving nothing but the desire to kill left standing. No. I don’t want to let that happen… <
The room was quickly emptying, leaving dead silence in its wake. Only Andrey, Prince Alextraz, and the sleeping Princess Eloise remained. Alextraz’s blue glowing eyes looked too exhausted. His pupils were full of haemorrhages giving him a real devastated appearance. The princess slept calmly. Her face seemed so gentle and fragile, yet it was in complete contrast with the serious and ambitious face Andrey remembered the first time he saw her. “Except me?” Andrey asked in a low volume voice. “Yes. It appears that the royal family owes you now.” The Prince spoke. “Look…” Andrey intercepted, “Don’t think about it. All I need is a place to stay.” The word revenge landed home with Andrey. He immediately narrowed his eyes and pulled out a satisfied smile. “What revenge, Alex?”“My mom. She actually died from old age.”“I’m sorry, I don’t think you can fight that.”“But my dad… The King died… in a battle with the legend.”“The legend? I’m sorry, I’m not sure I’m catching up.”“The legend, Andrey Makiya, is the King of Dragons. The most vicious, dangerous, and deadly dragon that you could ever encounter. His name is Dreadareth Voidrig Blackdrake. You saw that lightning dragon my sister fought again and even spoke to it in its human form, right?”<Makiya 231. A common goal, yet so different
Andrey spoke deeply. “I come from a world much similar to this one. Though the reason for my revenge is not so, how do I put it, ‘pure’ as yours is. I was betrayed. The people I loved the most tried to seal my power away. To this moment, half of my mana pool is off-limits. I can’t… use it. It’s as if it's non-existent. That’s why, I want to gather enough power and exact sweet revenge on them.”Alextraz smiled. “So you want people strong enough to come with you?”“That’s right. So… What will it be? Do you want me to help you, so you help me?” Andrey asked.Alextraz exhaled deeply. “Your power is enough to rival mine, and rival my guards as well. And… you’re saying it’s half of what you can? Do you really eve
Her big brown eyes looked into Andrey’s with the innocence and hope of a maiden. She wanted to rest all her faith into the red-eyed young man’s hands. The burden would weigh less. She could feel it. She knew of it. Certainty and comfort were what her intuition spoke to her when she looked at Andrey. He smiled confidently and slowly drifted his eyes to her brother’s. “I’m sorry, Eloise. I believe that Prince Alextraz might not agree with you.” Immediately after these words, Alextraz yelled, “I agree!” Silence filled the room, and he repeated.” I agree! We will treat you like one of us.” Alextraz trembled and covered his ears, lowering his head in defeat.
