The flags that adorned the outer corner of Gran Dortoir castle fluttered in the
wind. The maroon-dominated flag bore the claws and fangs of the Beast clan,
showing off their pride. The castle made of stone and painted in broken-white
with a bright red roof is one of the oldest castles in the Enn Vassili after
previously they had moved castles several times due to conflicts in the past.
Early in the morning, Minho gazed at the vastness of Groilandia through the window of
his working room. With his arms folded, the images of his adventures with the
seven other Kings still lingered in his mind. The Garnet-studded key is kept in
a glass case and placed with the other antique collections in his workspace. So
that he will always remember the threat of a past disaster that finally brought
the 9 Enn Vassili clans together again after 20,000 years.
"Under the vast blue sky... what are they doing?"
A calm and quiet day.
While his work was receding he tried to enjoy the slow flow of time. Actually, after
casting the Groilandia spell and losing so much Magia, his body still felt a
bit tired.
"Are you thinking about something, Mr. Minho?" a palace staff approached Minho
who was silent. Offer who knows there is something He can help.
"Huh? it's nothing really .." the Command answered flatly as he sat in his work
chair.
The boy bowed respectfully and left to continue his work. But just as he opened the
door, his master called back.
"Sony.."
"yes?"
"Do you think it's strange that I think of the other clans too?"
"Eh? Mr. Minho is really kind, huh .. " the child answered with a smile.
"That's natural... because we live side by side with them in this world."
"Do you think we can trust them again?"
"Hmm... until now I've never met another clan, but I'll trust my instincts as a beast
first... because even fellow beasts can't be trusted sometimes...
But to be honest, I don't think that means we have to close our trust in other
people.. everyone has their own chance.. that's my opinion, sir..”
The
boy took a deep breath and then continued his words.
“..isn't
it the your majesty himself who recently met them? Listen to your
heart..."
Minho nodded then
didn't reply again. Soni then leave him in the room. He took a deep breath. The
Command of Beast ranks before him lived in an era where 9 clans were hostile to
each other in the past 20,000 years. And because of that he had no other person to
ask about the other 8 clans. 3 weeks have passed since the mourning ceremony at
Vouna. More or less he missed his friends.
Suddenly his ears
twitched. He felt something.
DDUMMM...!!!!!
"what's that?!" Minho immediately opened the window of the room and jumped onto
the balcony below. His eyes narrowed trying to clear his vision.
“Mr Minho.. we are
under attack…” a guard came to warn him of the danger.
"Yes I know, by
whom?"
“Dragons clan..!!!”
“Dragons? Chris?" That noon there
were only a few clouds in the sky. But there was a black mass in the sky that
was moving closer, slowly spreading all over the place. It looks like a flock
of birds flying from a distance. Followed by fireballs falling from the sky
like meteors.
BWOOOSSHHHH....!!!!!!
DDUUMMM....!!!!!!
the fireballs burned
the meadows and trees they fell on. Field fires are unavoidable. It panicked
anyone who saw it.
“RUN…!!!!”
“AAAAAA…!!!!!”
“HELP...!!!! HEEELLPPP...!!!!!!”
“WAAA...!!!!!” The
screams of the Groilanians grew louder and louder. The swarms flying in the sky
were not birds, but Dragons. The giant dragons attacked again and messed up
every place just like in the past wars.
"Can I trust them
again?"
"PREPARE THE
CANON... DEFENSE FORCES, READY IN YOUR OWN POSITION...!!!"
Minho gave orders in a
loud voice. His troops obeyed orders by marching on the balconies of Gran
Dortoir. While the group of fighters one by one changed their form into big
cats and advanced into battle.
“MANAGE THE
POSITION...!!!”
“GENERAL LUCAS,
REPRESENT ME HERE... I WILL TRY TO TALK TO THE DRAGONS..!!!!”
“BUT YOUR MAJESTY...”
“AN ABSOLUTE
ORDER..!!!” The Command also chose to plunge into the battlefield.
He changed form and ran
to the center of the city. The fireballs that fell along the road did not make
him flinch. The Groilans who were running in the opposite direction were led by
the sentry to a safe hiding place. Half of the city has been destroyed due to
fire or frozen by ice crystals. The cannons and arrows fired from the direction
of the Gran Dortoir were dodged by the mob.
"KYAAHH...!!!!
MOOMMM…!!!!”
FWOOO…… an ice dragon
mercilessly spouted cold air at a child who was separated from his parents.
“CUMULONIMBUS…!!!!!”
Feline Minho brushed off the cold air, saving the girl.
"Follow the guards, okay, they will take you to
a safe place.." The girl nodded, then was carried by a guard with him.
Minho lunged with a
roar. He bravely confronted the Dragons.
"HOI...!!! WHY ARE
YOU ATTACKING US HUH?!”
"I KNOW CHRIS, HE
WOULDN’TDO THIS..!!!"
“DID YOU JUST IGNORE
ME…!?!?!”
When his troops
attacked in order to repulse and save the terrified citizens of Groilandia, he tried to stop the
attack by speaking for a moment. There are indeed three types of Dragons. Fire,
water and ice. Chris, his friend, came from among the Ice Dragons. An ice
elemental dragon whose physical characteristics are dominated by blue and
white. Realizing that his question was not heard for a long time, Minho was furious.
“BLUE-SPARKS..!!!!” the
white Feline attacked with her explosive blue lightning.
Seeing something
against the Dragons' attention was diverted. Without another word the ice and
fire giants charged back.
"Heat On.."
"Winter
breath.."
SSRRKK….. FWWRRR…….
Clear ice and embers attacked him from two directions. The Command jumped in
the air, dodging.
“HYEAAHHH….!!!!!!”
While landing Minho attacked again with his blue lightning. But not in the
least the Dragons were afraid of it.
The fight lasted for
several minutes. The Command of Beasts single-handedly fought the Dragons army,
restraining them from injuring their people any more. After it was felt that
the entire city had been evacuated, Minho, who realized his position, backed
away. The difference in body size and strength is overwhelming. The size of a
Dragon is approximately 8 times the size of the average Beast. Minhochose to step back for
a moment to think about the next steps he would take instead of moving alone
rashly and risking self-harm.
"If you don't want
to answer, let me find the answer myself .." the Command jerked his tail.
A second later his figure disappeared in a puff of smoke. He disappeared as
fast as lightning, gathering with his people in an underground hideout to the
north of the city.
That was for a moment
the situation in Groilandia, the Beast kingdom in the northwest of Enn Vassili.
Just beyond there, in the Northeastern part of the kingdom led by Sky was
facing quite a difficult problem. Nereida and Draecorona are only separated by
one sea, making it easier for the water dragons to attack the shores of
Nereida. The attack took place at night Nereida time. They attacked the Pixy
kingdom with jets of water and drowning sea spells.
DDDRRRSSSSHHH……. The
waves as high as 15-20 meters swept and ravaged the beach. The smell of salt is
very strong because of it.
“na na na~ naa~~”
"Listen to our
praises, O our Goddess Diandra..."
“na na na la ra laa~~”
"Protect this
forest... from the evil.."
Instantly the entire
population of Nereida united. Not only the guardian fairies, all the fairies
who were there sang together activating protective magic so that the dragons
could not enter their kingdom. Green shield walls repel the waves and protect
the villages on the coast. The flickering of the fluorescent tone symbol adorns
the shield lining.
Thankfully it was a
full moon night in Nereida. The magic power of the Pixies is at its best. They
contacted each other from coast to coast, village to village, until the shield
wall protected the entire kingdom quickly. The fairy king monitors the state of
his country from a height.
Na na na~ na la na~ the
songs sounded sweet even to the ears of the attacking water dragons.
“sheeesshhh…” the
scales of the dragon diving in the water were clearly visible in the tidal
waves. Seeing Nereida being protected by a magic shield they didn't give up and
tried to break in with even bigger waves.
“What happened? What is
Chris thinking??” Sky had been lamenting a clear, cloudless night earlier when
he heard a warning signal sounding loudly from the center of the city. Never
mind carrying additional weapons or other supplies, he didn't have time to
change his clothes and flew around Nereida wearing only his pajamas.
"Mr. Sky.. hey.."
"Eh?"
"Your
majesty,
don't fly alone especially in this situation .." a guardian fairy chased
after him. Sky'sblue wings reflecting the moonlight make him easy to find in the dark of
night. Obviously the guard was worried because when he wanted to report, Sky
had already disappeared from his room.
"Ah? I'm sorry.. I
was worried about our people..” Young Sky still often acts according to his
feelings, and sometimes forgets that he has subordinate ranks in Blumengarte.
His anxiety got worse, especially after Alfredo's gone.
"We will make sure
Nereida's condition remains safe, please wait at Blumengarte.. we will need
your orders.."
"Okay.. okay..
thank you.." Sky obeyed, they both flew back to the palace.
"Isn't it time for
us to reunite like we used to?"
Dragons
moved slowly attacking from north to south. The condition of Groilandia was the
worst because of the attack of the fire dragon and ice, followed by the
condition of Nereida whose coast was rocked by the tsunami and big waves
rolling in. A dragon alone is enough to make restless. This sudden attack for
no apparent reason made things really chaotic.
