A story of a boy's redemption, a girl's salvation, and a world on the verge of literal collapse.

After learning the devastating cost the planet has so far in the war against the humans and his kind, a dragon leaves his kingdom and goes to a nearby mountain. After considering many possibilities, the dragon can only see one way the world can continue on forward. Strengthening himself, he prepares to commit an act that would both save and destroy the world. An act which was only meant as a last resort by beings even farther above him. Getting to the top of the mountain, the cold and lack of air assaults him. Even a being such as him required bodily needs such as air and food. Figuring he won't be up there for long, the dragon goes to the edge and looks over the kingdom he built. A vast city that spanded multiple full miles in all directions lighting up the dark knight. A beacon in this world among the troubles it faces. Being isolated by choice, not a lot of it's technology or information ever reached the outside. Spending 100 full years making it at least, an anger boils in his gut at his fellow dragons. The humans caused it but the dragons just needlessly made things worse. Unable to turn back the clock, the dragon solemnly looks down remembering his life. All the good and all the bad quickly flashed through his mind. Picking himself up, he is prepared to do what he must without regrets. Reaching out one of his many limb, he extends the claws and uses multiple other hands to peel the scales away around his chest. Breathing the dragon stabs deep in his chest inflicting a mortal wound and his blood lands on the grassy floor below. Laying dormant for a few moments, they activate once separated with the body long enough and the ground starts to corrode rapidly. Turning grew and with cracks like a dried desert, the grass and plants wither away dying, turning black. Moving to the next step, the dragon groaning in pain points another of his many hands straight up in the air. Chanting a forbidden spell, a giant beam of energy flies up into the atmosphere. Taking all his energy while also in this wounded state, he's forced to get on his knees. Reaching higher and higher heights, the advance just inexplicably stops and turns. Shifting it's direction, the giant wave of energy falls right onto the city. Doing it's intended purpose instantly, the dragon on top of the mountain hears the distant and horrified shrieks of many all over the city. Closing his eyes and turning away as all his subjects turn to stone and crumble away as rock, the haunting screams soon stop.

Now with arguably the hardest part done to get through, the dragon increases the intensity into a single point. Firing into the planet like a laser instead of a cloud, it burros deep down into the mantle. Reaching a good enough point, he stops going deeper and transform it back to it's original beam. Gathering in the mantle, the continent starts to blow up like a balloon underneath. Destabilizing the entire planet, the pressure builds up causing everyone and everything to shake to it's core. Finally being no longer to contain it, the planet gives out and a massive portion is jettisoned into the outer reaches of space. Being consumed by the world's magma and sucked into the below zero temperatures of space, millions die in mere seconds. Destroying the entirety of the isolated country of "Elroe" in a instant, all information regarding their leader was lost to the world right then and there. After the initial blast, the fragments start to get pulled back again by the planet's gravity and circle it like satellites. Literally tearing the world itself open and silently watching as the mayhem continues in front of his eyes, he grows weak.
