The Retaliation of the Dragon: Rise Of The Unbroken
The Land of the Dragons Part 2
“Fae, I cooked you your favorite radish vegetable. Quickly clean your body, then we eat with” said Reg while standing in front of the same door where Faelan was found when he was a baby.
Faelan took down the firewood from her back and walked towards the bathroom.
Faelan and Reg were sitting in front of a familiar wooden table.
Faelan ate radish vegetables so greedily.
Reg looked at her while smiling affectionately. “Spend, Son. I cook a lot for you. Today is a special day”
Faelan devoured so many vegetables. Dry bread in the wooden tray next to it, is not the best bread, the bread is a little hard and too dry, so it produces a loud sound when bitten. But it was the best dish in the middle of that simple, warm family.
“You like, Fae?” Reg asked as he held his chin up and smiled, looking at Faelan as if it was his son's return after a long time leaving the house.
Faelan nodded enthusiastically, “Dad why not eat?”
“Let's” Reg said while still smiling at Faelan.
Faelan then cram more and more, and more greedy. He looked like a hungry little boy who was served his favorite food.
The vegetable is now finished. Leave only a few pieces of dry bread on the tray.
“You still have room left in your stomach, right? Don't let you miss the main dish” said Reg with a smile.
The old Reg got up and walked into the kitchen. Moments later he returned with a tray of three jumbo-sized bowls, which gave off smoke and a very seductive aroma.
“Make sure your stomach can hold everything. This is a special dish on your return” Reg put all three bowls in front of Faelan.
The three bowls are brown, green, and pure white.
“What is this, Dad?” ask Reg while pointing at the brown bowl.
“This is fresh young buffalo meat”
“You? Where do we get it?”
“Isn't this your game, Fae. Come eat. You should be the first to eat it. That's the customary rule”
Faelan was so excited when Reg thrust out the chocolate bowl.
Faelan raised a large spoon of wood in her hand. Shortly before he put the buffalo soup in his mouth, he suddenly felt something strange. “Daddy, I wanted to ask you earlier. What's the content of the other two bowls?”
Reg looks confused, “isn't it clear. This green one is Goblin soup, and this white one is Elf” soup
DEGGS!!!
Faelan suddenly felt nauseous. Thought churns. The surroundings feel spinning.
Faelan was now staring at the three bowls. From the brown bowl in front of him, he could see the face of the buffalo boy who was crying. Then from the other two bowls, from the broth, he could see two figures, the face of a woman and a Goblin like she was yelling at him, for some reason Faelan like to know them.
Faelan's mind was getting more and more turbulent. Two consciousnesses were like clashing against each other inside his head. Faelan is looking at Reg.
“Come, Son. Eat up! Dad's hungry. Dad can't eat if you haven't eaten” said Reg who is now standing, hugging him from behind.
Faelan. Her foster father looks weird. His gaze was truly cruel, his mouth grinning as if planning something evil.
“Dad, have you always looked like this?” Faelan asked as she tried to calm the turmoil inside her head.
“What do you mean, son? Eat immediately! You'll feel better after eating”
“No, Dad. I feel like I've eaten enough. I can't eat more”
“You should eat, Fae!” Reg looks so angry.
Faelan.
“Eat, I said! You little man! Eat!” Rig is really angry. It was like it was filled with a pitch-black aura.
Faelan also realized that the three figures he saw from the bowl were the buffalo boy, Elysia, and Rakko.
Then a huge burst of energy shattered the dimension where Faelan was. The dimensional piece was like a piece of glass scattering and floating in the air that looked pure white, and next to that white dimension, there was a very dense black dimension.
The dark black dimension was like it was filled with turmoil and black flames that were trying to devour the white dimension.
Inside the black flames, there was a projection that showed the old Reg burning violently. His chest was filled with wounds with blood that filled his face and body. Old Reg yelling “Faelan, my son. Help me!”, old Reg thrashed, “My son, save me!”.
Faelan shuddered in horror, her mind wanting to save Reg. But deep down, he knew it wasn't Reg. It was something a completely different existence.
Then a voice that sounded so heavy and hoarse began to speak, “FAELAN!! I COULD EASILY REVIVE YOUR FATHER, REG. I CAN ALSO DESTROY FREDERICK AND HIS MIDDLE-AGED SON. I CAN GIVE YOU EVERYTHING IN THIS DIMENSION. YOU JUST HAVE TO ASK FOR IT”
“You must have tricked me into eating my own friends. Who are you?” said Faelan while shaking.
“YOU ASKED ME WHO? WHAT A WEIRDO. HOW COULD YOU QUESTION YOURSELF. I AM YOU, AND YOU ARE ME, FAELAN. FROM THE BEGINNING WE WERE A UNIT. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BOTHER LEARNING THAT DISGUSTING LIGHT MAGIC. YOU SIMPLY GIVE UP YOUR SOUL, THEN I WILL DO EVERYTHING YOU ASK” the black dimension, with the blaze now trying to pursue Faelan who is in the white dimension.
“No!” Faelan brushed aside the black blaze and shouted, “I AM THE FAELAN ZEPHYR! SON OF THE LATE REGULUS ZEPHYR! I AM A CHILD DESTINED TO DEFEAT DARKNESS!”
Then the black dimension is like being absorbed into the white dimension. Along with the disappearance of the black dimension, the figure of the old Reg who was now filled with the aura of darkness shouted extremely loudly. His voice no longer sounded like his foster father.
A figure of a bright blue scaly dragon suddenly appeared in the middle of the dimension, in front of Faelan. The figure of the dragon was so big that Faelan was much smaller than one of his golden-coloured hooves.
“Faelan, the hero” said the dragon in a blaring yet soothing voice, “I am Argentia, the last sky dragon, the leader of Unbroken.”
Faelan wiped her tears. It turned out that Faelan's face was filled with tears as she fought Reg's projection, which was like re-emerging her old traumatic wound. “So, you are the great dragon of Argentia”
“True. This is our first meeting in a long time. I've been waiting for this moment for a long time. Much longer than you can imagine
Argentia now drew her face closer to Faelan's little face. He touched his face, then in a moment, from Argentia's body like a bright golden blue light. Faelan closed her eyes so blindingly. Then when Faelan opened his eyes, a well-built man stood in front of him. The man is very similar to him. Just cleaner and better looking.
“I will speak in this form to make it easier for you” said the Argentinean incarnation, “Before I wanted to apologize for not being able to do anything meaningful when you fought the Minotaur in the cave. There was another kind of energy pressing down and making me unable to act. Do you know what that energy is, Faelan?”
Faelan was silent for a moment. He was like contemplating, “I'm sorry, I don't know either. Perhaps it was the same creature that met me before you”
“Indeed, every one wants to form his magic container for the first time, he will be faced with his grudge. He must be able to face his grudges and accept the reality. It was to purify his soul before he could finally form his magic container. If not, then the newly formed magic container will be filled by darkness” Argentia now goes around looking at Faelan's body while rubbing his chin, “But, the, meeting two spirits simultaneously was unprecedented. Moreover it is two conflicting spirits”
“So, what do you think? Will everything be okay?” Faelan looks worried.
“It all depends on you, Faelan. I can only do certain things within limits. My energy has been drained a lot since the last fight with Zarok. All the rest of my energy I have poured into the dragon relic that is in your chest”
Faelan tried to check the locket. But the locket is gone now. Faelan looks worried.
“This!” argentia said as she handed over the pendant that had now become empty, only a shell tied with a black rope. “Core contained in this pendant has seeped into your chest. That means you have successfully formed your magic container”
Faelan looked confused. He now looks around it. It is in an all-white dimension that looks without end.
“We are now in your subconscious” explained Argentia, “Your physical body is now on the dragon altar. Our being here is just an astral form. However, I can't speak to you for long because of your limited magical capacity. I will just say the important thing,” Argentia's body looks increasingly faded, “Oh duration will run out turns out”, he said while looking at his two hands that looked more faded. Argentia then touched Faelan's chest with both hands.
Faelan's chest let out a bright golden blue light.
Faelan grimaced in pain. It feels like the inside of its body, the cells and tissues are being reshaped.
Argentia had now finished transferring the energy into Faelan's chest. “I think that's enough for you now”
Argentia then seemed to be fading and attracted by the whirlpool of the white dimension behind her. “Faelan the Dragon Hero! Find the other eight dragon relics. They were my brothers who had been defeated by Zarok and his army. Other dragon relics scattered all over the world. Discover it all while reshaping the Unbroken alliances of different races. They will help you in every fight. For the first time, find a descendant of a fairy named Mathra on the continent of Ignaria which used to be the residence of followers of the Fire Dragon Ignatius the Flamecaller” Argentia's body is almost gone, “But, remember! Beware of the dragons of darkness!”
Argentia who looked so sad looked at Faelan with teary eyes. It was as if it was his first encounter with his long-lost biological son.
Argentia smiled, “Now wake up Fae, my son!”
“Argentia, wait! You haven't told me the names of the sky dragons..” Faelan tried to reach Argentia.
But, Argentia has now completely disappeared.
