Greetings everyone
I hope you are all having an amazing Friday and will have an even better weekend. Let's dive into today's update!
“It’s not like it’s written down anymore!” hissed Kay. “I was the one who remained, because you asked me for help. The others are gone.”
“Fell Dragons are tragic. All of them, even you, but you broke the mould.” The Balance Dragon tried a calmer approach with the angry Kay. “You were the first Chaos Dragon.”
“What does that even mean?” asked Bolx.
“We,” she indicated herself and Saita, “Are Balance Dragons. We restore what is taken from the universe. Chaos Dragons take.”
She seemed to sense that Kay wanted to argue, but she held a hand up. “You came too early. My work, her work, isn’t done.”
“But I’m dead. There is no work to be done; you promised me freedom.”
“I lied.”
Her words hung in the air. Kay’s face went red, and she balled her fists.
“Are you telling me that I spent decades trapped in the dark for nothing!”
“No. I needed you to find your humanity again. To help me do what must be done.”
Something tickled at the back of Saita’s mind. Something that Edzeeker had said during her time captured as a young woman.
“A coin.” Said Saita softly as she looked at Kay.
“Ah! I see meeting Edzeeker again has jogged a few memories. Yes. Originally, it was the Fell Dragon and its conqueror, the Champion, but a Chaos Dragon was born too early. Through no fault of the Dragon. The Heavenly screwed up.”
The Balance Dragon looked at Kay with something akin to guilt and shame. “You never should have become a Fell Dragon.”
“But I did…”
“And thus, a Chaos Dragon was born. I have been trying to maintain balance, but I am losing.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” asked Martin. “And what’s this about a coin?”
“It’s about how universes self-repair.” Said Bolx.
Everyone’s attention snapped to him. He shrugged his shoulders and simply said, “I’ve been around this craziness before.”
“General is right.” Said the Balance Dragon.
“Don’t call me that.”
“You learn to love it.” Teased the woman before returning her attention to everyone else.
“I’ll make it simple. Universes live and die through a natural cycle. It has always been that way. Before the Fell Dragon came into being, the ebb and flow of decay and rebirth was slow and steady. That natural order was disturbed when the Dragon was born.”
“It’s always the Dragon’s fault.” Scoffed Kay.
“I know you’re angry at me, but I need you to listen. I need you, or rather I need you back.”
“What?”
The Balance Dragon growled under her breath before sighing heavily. She turned to the children in the kitchen and simply said, “The food will burn if you don’t attend to it.”
“Oh, you’re not excluding us.” Said all three at the same time.
“I don’t intend to. I thought I could handle all of this alone, but I can’t. There’s a lot that I need to talk about. Talk is good over food, no? And I’d like a shower.”
At this point, Kay had had enough. She stormed from the room, slamming the door of her room.
“Yeah, I expected that. I always screw up around her. Right, shower, dinner. Any spare clothes I can use?”
I've finally completed the research for the next part of the story. Going to be interesting.
