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.
Hello, dear Makiyans! Since time has been tight around the schedule, I am constantly writing, but I'm not near to where I should be to start uploading again!

Things mentioned or not throughout the story. Alphilia - The name of the world they live in. Comes from Philius as it is created by Philius. ( Or so people from Wartair believe) __ The Everburning Eye The North Pole of this world. It is an icy continent, though in the center there is a large hellish hole that emits a large pillar of fire. (It is actually full of mana) The dragon-powered lights of the kingdom’s buildings reflected into Eloise’s eyes, filling the already rich brown color of her iris. Andrey’s eyes explored each wall and corner of the room, expecting to find a clock somewhere, but failing to do so, he vacillated, “At what time does the sun come up?” The eighteen-years-old princess’ soft lips moved ever-gently, “It should come up exactly at six o’clock.” “Aha… And what time is it now?” Andrey slowly moved back as Eloise’s arms wrapped around his. “It’s somewhere around four.” her reply came almost instantaneously. “Um…” he looked at her eyes, which were as if sealed into his, “Don’t you think there’s a lot of time until then?” Makiya 234. Intuition of the Queen
Silence. Patience. Oxygen. Flowing. Control. Limitation. Freedom, achieved through manipulation of boundaries. A dragon’s thunder-like roar vibrated inside Andrey’s head. The cracking of all self-control and explosion of fear awoke him from the deep state of meditating. he had fallen in He jumped on his legs, trying to catch a breath, and then moved his head paranoingly left and right, discovering nothing else but the wind playing with his hair and cape. Nothing else in his presence. “Argh,” he grunted, holding onto his furiously beating heart, “What was that… a scream? Cry out for help?” Finally recovering his calm state of
