Demon Dragons Reign II

Chapter 89: Doubts and Trust

Later in the afternoon Ignia, or Hinote as he's going by while he is staying in Kyoto, receives a call from one of his comrades. Staying in a near by hotel he answers his call as four holograms appear around him.

Selene: There you are my dear Ignia. You're a hard man to find.

Ignia: I'm not that hard to find. I've just been ignoring all of you.

Mercphobia chuckles.

Selene: I see. I passed by your domain to see if you were there. I've been needing to talk to you, but your servants told me you were away. May I ask were are you?

Ignia: None of your business Selene. I'm simply handling things that some of you are too lazy to handle.

Viernes: Watch your tone Ignia.

Selene: Anyways we've been trying to reach you because we sense that something or someone is coming after Natsu.

Ignia: Why should I care?

Selene: Why? Because Ignia. Your brother has faced multiple gods already. He's growing stronger with each fight. It won't be long before he decides to come after us.

Ignia: That little runt? I'll like to see him try.

Viernes: I said the same thing. But if Natsu by some miracle survives what ever this is that is coming after him. It may change a lot of things. Not just for him, but for us as well.

Ignia: Like what? Him becoming stronger? Even if Natsu wanted he doesn't have the abilities to become a god himself.

Mercphobia: That's were you are wrong Ignia.

Everyone turns and looks towards the water dragon god.

Mercphobia: Don't let your arrogance fool you my friend. Natsu is heading down a very similar path that reminds me a lot of us. Fighting strong opponent after strong opponent, growing in his magic power, honing his skills, becoming stronger. Although he can't transform into a dragon, he may become something else even stronger then that.

Viernes: Stronger then a dragon god? That sounds ridiculous.

Mercphobia: It may sound ridiculous but other then Ignia here. I've had the most contact with him, and each time I see him his power has grown. Maybe he's been training and learning new techniques, or maybe his demon seed, and the dragon within are aligning themselves to become one.

The other four dragon gods once again turn to look at Mercphobia.

Mercphobia: Let's not forget about his queen Irene. She's already-

Selene: Before you finish that sentence Mercphobia. Let me advice you to stop right there. Irene isn't a god. She's nothing more then a servant, filth and a pathetic woman. She's not one of us.

Mercphobia doesn't say a word he just stares down Selene.

Ignia: If all of you are done arguing, I'm heading out. I'm hungry.

Selene sees at Ignia goes to the door of his room, before he reaches out to the door she calls on him.

Selene: Where ever you are Ignia, if and when this entity does come after your brother, I hope you and Mercphobia do not interfere like you did with the Greek gods.

Ignia stops and slightly tilts his head showing Selene his dragon eyes. She smiles and returns the favor.

Selene: Just a small warning.

The hologram of Aldoron, Viernes and Selene all disappear leaving only Mercphobia's.

Ignia: What are you still doing here?
