"Dragon lord Draxler..." Nicodemus mentioned as the Lord of the dragons emerged into the dungeon alongside his wife and guards.
"I never thought someone this innocently looking could be such a monster." The old man bellowed with a sad smile comforting his face. "Your father sacrificed his life to save you from death,to save you from becoming the monster the prophecy termed you but look at you now..." Draxler uttered with disappointment expressed on his face.
"I was not born a monster,I was just a little lad whose parents were forcefully taken away because they loved him." Nicodemus paused with a saddened countenance hanging on his face.
"It is the supernatural community that made me a monster."
"We had no choice...the prophecy told us clearly that you will be our end" Draxler responded.
"So you all summoned yourselves up to kill an innocent child based on a prophecy that could even be forged?. Will you allow your unborn child die just because of a prophecy a witch brought up?." Nicodemus asked rhetorically while the others reasoned in silence. He walked closer to Draxler with a profound smile.
"But one thing I've learnt is that love makes you weak. My parents loved me greatly that they became so weak and died because of me,now all I want is to avenge their death. To destroy those who killed my parents."
"You are here to kill me,even if you do...the supernatural community have pronounced a death sentence on you." Draxler answered bravely as he stared eye to eye with Nicodemus who simply let out a brief laugh.
"I'm not here to kill you rather I'd love to forge an alliance with you,Dragon lord Draxler" Nicodemus finished with a smirk.
"What makes you think I'll help you?" Draxler scoffed.
Nicodemus stepped closer. "Because you were my father's strong companion. My mother told me the tales of your friendship and I also know my father helped you to this King of the Dragons position..." Nicodemus spoke irritatedly while the guards glared at him. "Therefore it is time you repay the favor."
"I owe you nothing!. You must be a fool to enter into a mountain of dragons ready to burn your bones to ashes!." Draxler blared already angered by Nicodemus.
Nicodemus gave a mocking laugh in response. "That was what Alpha Geraldton,Regent Beaumont said before they met their ugly fall. If you choose to be foolish then I shalt have no choice than give you a pain worse than death." Nicodemus walked slowly to Draxler's wife. "Like I said,love makes one weak. What if I put you in a position where you have to choose to save your ever beautiful wife or your weyr of dragons. I'll crush everything you love,built,to the ground and then you shalt beg for death but it will not come." Nicodemus raised his hand to feel her cheek but Draxler held him back with fury lit in his eyes.
"You are in my lair and yet you bluff!. I can kill you this instant!!!" Draxler voiced thunderously.
"Do you think I'm bluffing?." Nicodemus asked with another sinful smile filling his face. "I let myself get captured, remember?"
Draxler's eyes widened!;realization dawned on him that Nicodemus could be here with his army ready to wage a surprise attack on his land. He had to choose wisely for he heard the tales of Alpha Geraldton,the witches,werewolves which Nicodemus singlehandedly killed without fuss. Nevertheless,if he chose the wrong side he was certain the dragons would be at a disadvantage. He glanced at his guards who all seemed enveloped in uncertainties.
"By accepting this alliance it means I am also waging war against the supernatural community. I shalt only join you on your quest only if you can assure me of my Werys safety." Draxler sighed.
"Your dragons shalt be safe if only I survive this war" Nicodemus walked back to his chains. "I need to have the fairies on my side too...that way my army would be large enough."
"The fairies would never ever in a lifetime join you. Those creatures are so resolute in their resolve...of all creatures they are the only ones who believe you can be killed." Draxler paused signalling for Nicodemus to join him as they walked out of the dungeon.
Nicodemus hands curled into a fist as he grumbled; if he couldn't persuade the fairies then he would have to use his last resort,the hybrid community. Though it will be hard persuading them but he was certain he would succeed.
"At least you're proving useful now. I shalt take my leave." Nicodemus scoffed.
"Where are you going?" He asked sharply.
"None of your business!" Nicodemus retorted. "Just have it in mind that if you dare betray me..." Nicodemus turned to him with a glare.
"The earlier you stop your threats the better for you. I shalt try my best in feeding you latest update. You may take your leave now" Draxler completed the words while Nicodemus smiled in response.
"Your Queen is quite a beauty by the way" Nicodemus winked,purposely irritating Draxler once again. "We'll meet again"
"I hope you know that you have just committed treason against the community you've spent most of your life devoted too." Maria, Draxler's wife finally spoke as they both watched Nicodemus disappear amidst the mountains. "If we loose,if Nicodemus falls then this will bring great shame unto us,to your reign,this will be the end of dragons." She finished her statement with heaviness filling her tone.
He glanced at her with burden filled eyes.
"If we win,then the age of dragons shall continue,besides,what choice do I have?. If I refused Nicodemus we will not be here having this conversation..." He paused. "Perhaps he might truly put me in a position where I have to choose between you and the dragons and I'm not ready to loose you. I'm not."
She held his gaze firmly.
"If we win,then we shall become eternal slaves of Nicodemus because he will never let us go. You have just signed a slavery contract with a monster. You are our leader who should always put his people first. The leader I know once used to be selfless but the Draxler I see now has turned selfish,putting me before the entire dragon nation."
"You're a dragon and also my wife,it is my duty to protect you at all cost." Draxler defended with an hardened tone.
"By siding with a tribrid whose fate is to end us all?" She asked sharply. A confused expression hung heavily on his face.
"Alpha Barron was a great friend who always fought for the right thing. He died for his son,he believed his child had great potentials than the abomination the prophecy tagged him." Draxler sighed. "I watched my best friend die,I would never allow the blood of his legacy be spilled by my hands."
Maria maintained her silence for a while.
"This prophecy is gradually coming to pass" That was all she said before leaving him in his world of thoughts.
Year 1046"My name is Nicodemus!...Son of Great Alpha Barron and Regent Theresa." Nicodemus bowed courteously in front of Mirabelle whilst the other hybrids in the woods jumped to their feet ready to attack as their ears picked the words of the famous tribrid.Mirabelle signalled to her guards,holding them off before a smile crossed her face."I am honoured to meet you,handsome lad." Her smile deepened as she stared into his grey Iris. "What do you want?,for you are no fool to walk into my lair without counter measures."He grinned at her with pleasure flooding through his veins. "Of all leaders that I have met,you are the most reasonable." He acknowledged casually.She smirked with a scoff. "I have been ruling the hybrids for a century now,of course I should have some wisdom." She responded confidently.Nicodemus sighed briefly before touring round the grounds."As
"This prophecy will surely come to pass and there shall be no stopping it." Mirabelle sighed heavily while her hands ruffled her hair braid lines. Her closest companion,Jacob only stood by her watching the former alpha wallow in confusion and sorrow.The cold wind that blew across the forest sent shivery shocks down his spine at the thought of Nicodemus. In times past he was good at advising Mirabelle,showing her the ways when she went wrong but this time he was just as dumbfounded as his leader."My Desires has caused me my downfall. I let that bastard tribrid outsmart me,Now I'm in trouble. Once the Supernatural community hears of my betrayal they shalt waste no time slaying me neither can I side with Nicodemus. His cunningness is beyond normal." She glanced at him briefly before resigning to the woods."What do you plan to do now?" Jacob asked with concern. He knew that regardless of her fall she'd remain firm.She held his
"Help!... Help!!....Help me!" Were the screams of the young lady as she ran past bodies of her fellow villagers laying lifelessly on the ground with Vampire bite marks appearing across their necks.She came to an halt abruptly,terrified at the monster that appeared to her in the night that hung deeply.His glowing red eyes pierced through the darkness with a threatening growl. Her hot tears couldn't stop itself from streaming down her cheeks as she trembled."Are you scared,my love?" Nicodemus asked huskily as he approached her close enough to feel her wavy breaths.She shivered as his hand toured down her teary cheek."Please don't kill me" That was all she could mutter in her shivery status.
"Mother" Theresa turned to her 16 year old son as he stood in his sack cloth watching her gather dry woods for the night. She noticed the burdened eyes that hung on his usually happy face."What's wrong?" She easily asked with a concerned expression while she dropped her work to face him squarely."Why do we keep on running?,I lost my father,why do I feel like I am going to loose you too?. You do so much for me and I can tell beneath your happy smile you're still sad,I hate it that I can't help you in these burden you carry." He pursed his lips. "Am I a burden?" "No honey.." she arose to him touching the warmth of his cheek with tears forming slowly in her eyes. "You're not a burden. You are my light,the world's light." Her hands caressed his cheek gently with a comforting smile. She brought him to the small hut making him rest on her thigh."Let me tell you a sto
As Nicodemus entered his secret Chambers alongside Greece he stopped with his back turned towards his Gamma."No matter how many that swears their loyalty to me,there are still traitors amongst us!."Greece sighed silently but Nicodemus could still hear. Even after demonstrating his ruthlessness who would dare to betray him?,Greece thought."I know you think I'm problematic but you will agree with me that majority out there only joined me because they had no choice. Hence,they have no respect for me nor sworn loyalty." Nicodemus turned to him. "How do I win this war?, Greece."Nicodemus watched his Gamma swallow his saliva down his throat,pinching the area between his eyebrow."Like you said before,we fight with our strong will."Nicodemus scoffed. "As far as I'm concerned,only I have the strong will. As my Gamma,you'll have to do better in your thinking and be stronger
".....but why do we need grains,we already have all the poisons." Greece stated confusingly as he watched Nicodemus smile wholeheartedly across the thick trees ahead of them."You must be quite young that you know not." Nicodemus smirked while his Gamma shook the back of his black hair nervously."I am just 26!,Alpha!" Greece stuttered already feeling embarrassed. He knew his Alpha would have thought him more older considering his ranking and maturity. His theory were further confirmed when he saw the look of surprise and admiration drawn on his Alpha's face.Although he was surprised, Nicodemus admiration for his Gamma grew. He enjoyed the fact his Gamma was just as young as he his yet has achieved so much!."I am not surprised though" He lied with a perfect face but Greece whispered under his breath,certain he was lying."Anyways....grains are a taboo for fairies. No matter how strong they a
"Mate!" Greece heard his wolf growl with a rush of tidal feelings coursing through his nerves. Nevertheless,Greece continued to trot towards this purple haired lady who directed her weapon firmly towards his direction. He chose to ignore his wolf,thinking his minds were playing games due to the witches but as they both approached each other with their Spears clashing they each heard their wolf yell in desperation and excitement."Mate!!"Both gasped in response as their bodies touched with tingles touring across their skin and burst of excitement coursing through their veins."You are my..." Greece mentioned almost like a whisper."Mate!" Her surprise burning brightly on her face as she completed those words.
One could start with the burning fire that glowed brightly amidst the nights,the jubilant voices of the centurion Pack,the large flow of spoils or rather,the cold air that toured the outskirts of the highlands.There he was standing close by with Alpha Rai's head still hung on it's stake and his hands crossed behind his back. Cold air escaped his mouth as a little opening formed between his lips."What do you want,Dragon lord?" Nicodemus voiced huskily when Draxler stood by his side. Silence dwelled between the two for a while."Until the war ended,I never really understood what you were fighting for. So it was revenge after all,to avenge your innocent parents." The old man glanced at Nicodemus. "Why didn't you kill me then? But rather chose to use my help."&
