Hidden place...

The shadows are seen in this place, however what can be highlighted more is the castle with its gloomy aspect, its corridors are somewhat cold but of these the rooms are also more intriguing, one of these is the throne room , in it there is a presence with a serious expression looking at a point itself, an orb that shows what is happening in the human world, he sees how dragon raids happen, killings that he enjoys watching as an entertaining program, however suddenly the orb stops showing images, this being does not take much importance to it because it believes that there is nothing more to show, however that is already tiring it needs something new to see, the human world has been immersed in its ignorance for a long time of what Once upon a time, he was always aware of it but what could he do, he couldn't get involved, just send emissaries who barely pleased him with their work, while he thought that doing the doors of the hall opened revealing a servant who came hastily to his master, once before him knelt.

Servant: My Lord Loki, we have a problem...

The being better known as Loki kept ignoring but even so he listened to him, surely what he would say didn't have much importance.

Servant: It's about the Red Death.

Loki gets up from his chair- Ahhh yes, the beast that I sent to wreak havoc in the human world, what's up with it??

Servant: No sir... The Red Death was defeated.

Loki, stunned, turned to see him because what he was saying made no sense.

Loki: Defeated in what way- he said seriously although he sounded annoyed.

Servant: Dead sir... she is dead and was sent to Hellheim.

Loki: But how was it possible, she was supposed to be well hidden and no human could beat her... tell me how was it possible.

Servant: Better see for yourself master- he went to the orb showing him what has happened, the battle against the Red Death, a black Dragon facing Loki's creation and on it a figure that can barely be seen but that is not What is impressive is that this figure and the dragon work together to later see how the Red Death is set on fire and falls into the sky in flames and then the image disappears.

Loki: So that's what happened... but what dragon was that??

Servant: In my opinion, sir, I think it is a Night Fury.

Loki looks at him mockingly- What??... are you saying that those are still alive hahaha... he shows the image of the dragon again- his servant obeys him and when doing so stops him and Loki can fully observe him- although you may not be wrong, what is that I see that I see on his back... could it be... a human??

Servant: I don't know, sir... but this has caused a stir. When the news is out, if not already known, it will bring many changes.

Loki: You're right... well, now long I have to attend to some business.

Servants: Yes sir.

Loki's servant leaves, while Loki thinks about what to do, but after a few minutes, he sits on his throne and takes his orb to call someone to talk and after a while, he succeeds.

Loki: It's been a while, don't you think?

???: No doubt Loki but why are you calling me??

Loki: Well Tiamat is about that dragon that you spawned with my help.

Tiamat: The Red Death... I imagine you already know that.

Loki: Do Io and the others know too??

Tiamat: Yes, I have heard that, however, I do not understand how it could have happened.
