In the upper sanctum where the great battle between the dragon and taratect forces of Elroe participated in nearly 15 years ago, it all sits in absolute silence. The beacon that was once there being cut down from where it stood by Oka, a giant broken cluster of webs is left behind in the ceiling dangling. A symbol and a graveyard now, tiny red lights pop up all over. Over more than a dozen of them, they start wandering ominously through the sprawling corpses and bodies killed. All seemingly to act independently, they release spores and almost instantly huge misty phantoms of dragons and Arch Taratects fight intensely in the air. Battling and destroying everything around them with their colossal power, it was only a recreation. The unknown red lights continuing to advance, they eventually reach the end of the Queen's chamber. Causing one more red mist phantom to be recreated right next to the Queen's dead body, a huge intimidating dragon was on his knees while a tiny spider wrapped her arms around his head as he sobbed and cried. Getting all he could from the broken fractured memories of the souls that died, the owner calls the lights back and the phantom recreations vanish. Breaking apart the ground as they rush back to their origin, biological tendrils that emitted the red light all converge. The tendrils returning into his shoulder reforming his right arm again, the special forces general of the demon army Dornar comes back to reality after absorbing all the information. Observing what happened that day through the eyes of the dragons present, Dornar saw everything. From the battle, to Kumoko and Ryuka, and the conditions D put Shiro under when they made the contract...
Dornar:.................Bro I'm about to legit cry after seeing all that......
*Sniff* Man...it really is sad though, if I didn't have to kill them I'd actually think they could have been good together. Calamity is who knows where after the academy fell and Shiro is a wildcard I can't predict. She'll continue to fight with the demon army to help Ryuka but if they make contact and one of them somehow convinces the other, it'll cause a butt load of problems for me and Ariel. If Shiro's conviction falls we won't be able to massacre the elves and humanity, if Ryuka helped us the elves may be defeated TO quickly and I can't have that...
Coming here after the general meeting at the demon capital, Dornar originally intentioned to figure out how many dragons were left and if the ones that did remain would someday be a threat. Discovering them here however with his power, he's managed to get even more insight on their connection. Finished with what he wanted to do and preparing to head back to base, the Queen's chamber fills with a dominating atmosphere. Footsteps ringing out of one of the many tunnels, Dornar turns around and sees the bottom sanctum guardian Gakia standing almighty before him. Having a level of strength that makes all heads turn by simply entering a room, Gakia squints at Dornar unpleased. Definitely giving Dornar a good first impression, he strangely wasn't scared or intimidated, in fact he was somewhat in awe. Starring down the most powerful dragon in Elroe, Dornar's helmet splits open into a smile.
Dornar: The top dog of Elroe himself Gakia.........how's it going man?😁
Gakia's expression not changing, he wasn't in the mood for this, not for someone like HIM.
Gakia: Leave this place at once demon, I won't give you a second warning...
Dornar: Demon? Jeez, I know my armor doesn't scream "Safe for kids" but seriously-!
Gakia: I Have No Time For Your Games!! I saw what you did at the human school, to use one of the seven heavenly virtues in such a manner...you don't deserve such a ability...
Genuinely angry at the armored figure in front of him, all four elements start to intensely swirl around Gakia in the air. Not even feeling this much emotion when most of his kin died in this very room, the whole Labyrinth began to shake. Making Dornar nervous, he tries to calm Gakia down.
