Perfected Tempest

8. New weapon and Date?

Gran-Dwargo's POV

After my final words with the Void Dragon it grabbed me with one mouth and completely swallowed me in the other. But unlike what I thought I didn't slide down a through at all only entered what can be described as nothingness. It was truly terrifying but to add on to it my body stopped breaking down and even started to heal here. My soul core was repaired and my amour was restored. I even had full potions thrown at me to restore my energy and make my body start to heal even faster. I didn't believe anyone but the high humans could make such things. We had tried but never got pasted the 97% barrier. We believed that 98% was possible but much research was still needed for it. It feels like the longer I know this being the more terrifying and insignificant I feel around it. I can only hope that the weapon I make for it satisfies it enough for everything to go right maybe even make an ally of the creature. Hell, I'd make my people worship it if it would help me come to an agreement with it. I also now see how it got such a name as Void Dragon. It's very being eats all things, attacks, magic, everything will one day gets sucked into this space never to return. It felt like fighting against the idea of my inevitable end in physical form. But as a finished being returned from the brink of death I couldn't help but to ask the void, "How will I leave here? I see no end to this place nor exit to be found? Only my inevitable demise?" I never expected an answer but I got one from something in this voided space.

Unknown Being- "Report body and soul of individual Gran-Dwargo is being analyzed as per the agreement along with his skill. After it is completed will you be released from this space. Be patient and let me tell you the last to parts of the prophecy I told you in our first conversation."

This creatures voice seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere all at once and what it told me earlier was a prophecy not a promise?

Void Dragon- "The last part is that after the true dragon of storm disappears a being will come knowing the prophecy before the royal family, then it shall ask for help in establishing a kingdom, if you choose not to your world will come to an end by me. If you choose to help your people will forever be safe from me or any future calamity it may face. The choice is your people's to follow, it makes no difference to me which for I am inevitable."

Gran-Dwargo- "So if I tell my descendants of this prophecy and they heed its words my kingdom shall be eternal in its safety from great threats? How can I not do anything but accept this great task to keep my people safe from at bare minimum you. Fine I shall await such a day to come Void Dragon."

Void Dragon- "Good, keep it to only the royal family if you would as well. The future threats I speak of shouldn't be allowed to catch wind of these things. If you wish for me to not come frolicking around your kingdom again you would do well to do this."

Gran-Dwargo- "Very well I shall accept these terms."

After I said that I appeared back in the world I front of my scared subordinates. Even if I felt the same I could not show it to them. So I turned around and bowed to the Void Dragon near me and thanked, (them?) for the dual. Then turned to my people and told them, "Stand down I have come to an agreement with the Void Dragon that if we the dwarves create a weapon that satisfies him we will never come to harm from him again. Return home and tell the head forger that I'm coming to personally make the weapon." Many awes came from the crowd since I had long since stoped making weapons for even other kings. But I knew that no one else alive could make a weapon that would satisfy it, it had to be me. Plus I can finally work on a metal that I had never seen before or felt before. Oh I can feel my heart pumping in excitement over the prospect of that alone.

Void Dragon- "I shall give you the metal as promised along with some more for you to use in making my new weapon. Don't disappoint me now dwarf king after I gave you the benefit of the doubt."
