Agrona Vritra


I stood there, in the meeting room, looking at the device that showed the battle storming on, the mages and asuras dying left and right. I knew the three dots in the middle, they had to be Virion, Arthur, and the Legacy. There was another, but I didn't know who that was.

My Wraiths, and Virion's blood army was attacking as well, with the help of Leviathans, it wasn't looking good, even though we were dealing massive blows to their numbers, they were doing the same, and if it was a game to see who would last longer, they would win with the size of their force.

"This isn't looking good." Lord Haci said, looking at me, the generals that were in here left to help out, leaving just the two of us here. I split the dragons I had guarding the palace up, keeping half here, sending the other half there. "Virion's force outnumbers us a hundred to one, maybe more."

"I know." I snarled, trying to think about everything, if I had my body, or Virion's body, I could have controlled the Wraiths using the ruins on their back, but since I was forced into changing my body into Kezess, I don't have that option, most likely something Virion thought about. "Hmm..."

I remember Virion saying something about the old me, the one from this timeline, something about how he went through his mind. For him to do such a thing, he would have had to keep him alive, which means, if I am right, he's in Taegrin Caelum's dungeon, alone right now.

If I managed to obtain him, making him turn the Wraiths to our side, this fight would be over in seconds, the blood army he has under his control would fall. "How many dragons do I have here right now?"

"Ten." Lord Haci said, and I felt my hand twitch as a plan started to come to mind. "But they are guarding Lady Myre and you in case something happens, I don't suggest sending them out." I would agree with him if Virion wasn't on the battlefield, but he was, we knew that for sure.

"Send them to Alacrya." I order, looking at him with an impatient face. "Tell them to enter the Central Dominion and fly to Taegrin Caelum." I took out a piece of paper and wrote down coordinates, knowing them by heart, even now. "They need to go down to the dungeon there and bring me back Agrona Vritra's live body, if it is there."

"What?!" Lord Haci said, looking at me with a concerned expression, not understanding why I would want such a thing. "Why in the world would you want him? And how do you know if he is alive?"

"I don't, but I need him, with him under our control, we can force these Wraiths to our side." I scolded the asura. "Don't argue with me right now, this needs to be done, right now, so go!" I shouted, aura exploding, his eyes widened, then he bowed and left the room, leaving me alone.

Dammit!

That damned brat is ruining everything, my own creation, countering me every chance he gets. I could go into the field, but if I did, I would just fall into his trap. He wants me there, I knew it, that's the only way he'll be able to kill me.

I won't have guards here soon, but he doesn't know that, and even so, I know where he is, there's no getting here without me knowing. This device can sense everyone's mana signature within a thousand yards, and I could sense anything coming at me, I would be fine.

However, if I didn't get the Wraiths, something I should have thought about earlier, even if I planned on killing them all at the end of this. I could use them now though, they were dealing the most damage to my force, besides Virion and his friends.

Lord Ademir's signature was gone, we saw him die to Virion, that fool thought he could defeat him by himself most likely. I am surprised he died so fast, I thought at least he would survive more than a couple of minutes and it would be a long and tiring fight for the brat, but it wasn't.
