Chapter Fifteen: The Seed of Hatred

last update Last Updated: 2025-10-21 21:08:40

The Hall of Sacrul rumbled with the low growl of dragons. Fourteen great beasts sat in their true forms around a dais made of deepstar stone, a mineral said to have fallen from the bones of dying stars. Each dragon revealed its true form in silent contest, the weight of their might pressing against the air. Heat shimmered between them, an invisible storm of pride and restrained carnage.

At the head sat Segrenry, her crimson scales alive with molten light. Her dragonian ruby eyes mirrored every flicker in the chamber. She rested forward upon a vast woven mat of gold-threaded wyrmhide, edged with lapis tassels and inlaid runes that pulsed faintly, resistant even to her heat. One claw tapped idly against the marbled floor, the sound echoing like a heartbeat through the Hall.

To her right sat Huverdra, radiant and composed, his golden scales alive with the quiet hum of power. Once, they had been the envy of all Adistaktos . The Destructive Pair of House Rostrag, a union of brilliance and

    Next, she saw her second son climb higher also. Agony in his demeanor as fire wreathed from his throat, spiraling outward in storms of destructive light that consumed everything in its path.He tore through the sky like vengeance made flesh. Every beat of his wings sent shockwaves across the desert. He struck one dragon from the heavens, then another, his claws wreathed in solar fire. Scales melted beneath his talons; their shrieks broke like glass across the wind.Still they came.Dozens of them. Shadow dragons given form, their scales dull and slick with darkness, their eyes burning with the mark of Vraeleth’s corruption. They circled him like flies, their wings blotting out the sun. But he surged upward, breaking through their ranks, light trailing from him like a comet’s tail.He kept attacking the dragons fatally, until the air began to twist.Something ancient stirred above him, unseen but suffocating. The sky itself seemed to warp. His flames faltered as the light dimmed, shado

    Merenrys whispered an ancient command, a sound so old it seemed to scrape the marrow of the world. The glyphs flared to life across her skin, spiraling outward in molten streams of light. The desert answered with a roar, its silence splitting apart as the dunes convulsed and rose like awakening beasts.The sand began to move. First in ripples, then in rivers, then in tidal waves of gold and grit that bled fury. Each grain seemed alive, possessed by her will. The earth heaved, birthing colossal serpents of sand that twisted skyward with a hiss like shattering glass. Their bodies glistened with sunfire, they coiled around the dragons that opposed her, grinding their scales to dust.Wings beat in panic, slicing through clouds of dust, but the serpents only tightened. Scales cracked. Bones snapped beneath the pressure, a symphony of destruction echoing across the dunes. Some dragons tried to ignite the air with flame, yet their fires suffocated in the storm she commanded , swallowed whole

    The battle raged on ahead, the pressure heavy enough to crush bone. Beneath it, the golden courtyards of her kingdom flickered faintly with the almost last embers of Merenrys’s wards. Her sons.Three dragons circled across the bruised heavens, the living testament of Regyptre's Egyptian bloodline. The heavens bent beneath their flight, each wings broad as temple banners, their membranes veined with hieroglyphic gold that shimmered in the stormlight, each movement painting the air with forgotten hymns.The eldest soared at the highest point of the barrier, his greyish-black scales glimmering like black diamond dust strewn across midnight. The light caught on every ridge, fracturing into silver shards that glittered around him like a crown of stars. His horns curved backward in smooth, regal arcs, tipped with gold, and his eyes burned like molten steel, cold and unyielding. When his wings spread, the undersides flashed with intricate patterns of silver hieroglyphs, each one pulsing fai

    Adrewine's body convulsed instead, a shudder so violent it seemed to tear the air itself. A low strangled, guttural cry wrenched from her throat as her spine arched backward. The ground beneath her feet cracked. The air rippled then split.Merenrys stumbled back, eyes wide, as the child’s small frame began to distort—stretching, twisting, reforming. Bones popped like snapping branches, her skin tore in delicate seams that wept smoke instead of blood. Her shoulders split open, and from the fissures unfurled wings that shimmered wetly, each membrane swirling with the iridescent sheen of oil on water. Smoke coiled from them, black and alive, tasting of sulfur and burnt myrrh.“Adrewine…” Merenrys whispered again, her voice breaking into a tremor.But the creature that rose before her was no child. She stood now as a woman. Terribly beautiful. Her once-small body had blossomed into a form sculpted in temptation and terror. Her imbs long and graceful, skin a shade too pale, as if carved fr

    They spent many evenings after that beneath the flowering palms, where Merenrys would sit cross-legged upon silk carpets and comb her teal hair while Adrewine nibbled on figs beside her.“Why do you live up here, so far from everyone?” Adrewine asked one evening, watching Merenrys’ reflection in a basin of water.“Because it is easier to hear the world’s truth in silence. This was how I found you after all,” Merenrys said. “also because loss teaches solitude.”Adrewine tilted her head. “Did someone make you sad?”Merenrys smiled faintly. “Not really. I have a lot on my plate with my husband and children gone for a while, that's all"Adrewine frowned as if that were the gravest injustice. “If I were big and strong, I’d make them say sorry to you.”“Would you?” Merenrys chuckled.“Yes! I’d stomp them with my little hooves.” She demonstrated, tiny legs thumping the carpet.It made Merenrys laugh so hard her eyes glistened. “Then I am safe indeed.”"Yes you are" Adrewine's lips smoothed i

  • The Alpha's Dragon   Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Song of the Desert

    The desert sang softly that evening. A mournful hum born from the meeting of wind and sand. The sun had begun its descent, bleeding gold and scarlet into the dunes, and Regyptre gleamed like a mirage sculpted by the gods. Merenrys Kain stood on the highest terrace of her palace, her teal hair rippling behind her like a river caught in sunlight, her bare skin etched with the faint glow of living hieroglyphs. The symbols pulsed gently, resonating with her heartbeat, the language of her power and the memory of her bloodline.She often listened to the desert’s silence when her duties weighed heavy. It was there that she heard things others could not. The echoes of her people’s laughter carried by the dunes, hushed whispers of long-buried relics, and the sigh of the ancient pyramids that towered over them all. But that evening, something else reached her. A cry, faint and trembling, a sound out of place among the eternal stillness.Merenrys turned sharply.Beyond the horizon, where the sa
