Perfected Tempest

Side Stories pt. 3

                             Luminous's POV

It had been a while since my last talk with the void dragon. My nation was constantly improving and the new religion I had designed myself had taken shape. Now that the void dragon had been sealed away by Veldanava I can no longer contact him with thought communication or even feel his presence. I can only feel the bond I have with him by the renaming he had done to me. It allowed me to know he was at least still alive along with it also giving me a boost in strength every day. I always am surprised by how willing he is to give away more power to others just like Veldanava. At least I got to ask him some questions before he left last time.

Luminous- "Void dragon, do you consider yourself any specific gender? It's hard to speak to you when you are always so vague especially when I must talk about you to others."

Void dragon- "I consider myself a man and thank you for asking and not assuming Luminous."

Luminous- "Thank you for answering my question. Is it alright if I ask a few more?"

Void dragon- "My time is short so choose wisely which ones you ask Luminous."

Luminous- "My first question is what are you really and since you are always covered in a black fog and there is no way to see through it.The other is, can I call you Void?"

Void- "Um, I'm a sub species of the true dragons. A unique existence even more than my cousin. For your other question I don't mind you doing so but eventually when I return I will tell you my real name."

Oh I can feel the excitement I felt then even now. Unfortunately we talked mostly about me after that and he seemed reluctant to talk about himself. It seemed that he had other restrictions on him by Veldanava. I hope that dam lizard dies for taking my beloved from me so early into my plan to prop him up as the divine being he was. Now I must compromise with my underlings as they asked me to before. I'm going to the meeting to finalize these final details now actually. I am of course the last to arrive as the leader of the nation everyone goes off of my time not theirs. Though I mostly leave the day to day up to my three newly accepted aids Roy, Gunther, and Louis. After I sat down the meeting started.

Gunther- "This is to be the final meeting for our plans to create a religion around our liberator the void dragon. Have all of you finished your end of the preparations?"

Most vampires- "Yes."

Vampire noble- "I had a small problem I may explain sir."

Gunther- "Well what could it have been. I remember having put you in charge of the new creations made by the ancestor as a food source for us. Was it hard to convince them or something? I can't imagine that being the case."

Vampire noble- "Well sir it would have gone well but a few years ago an incident happened at an inn that caused the citizens to question our strength. Some guards were trying to arrest some individuals who owed the blood tax and got into a scuffle with them. They were defeated rather easily and people nearby so the whole thing play out in the distance and when the guards brought back reinforcements to help make the arrest the aggressors and disappear from the inn. The innkeeper had provided a sworn statement that what he said was true. We thought him lying to us at the time but after a blood packed was made it was confirmed true. Unless he had some way to fool us as a normal human being he had no way of not telling the truth."

Roy- "Have these individuals been found yet?"

Vampire noble- "No sir. After we investigated the place the innkeeper said two of the perpetrators lived we found it empty of everything, even the other residents. Which should have been impossible since it was an orphanage. According to the locals in the area on the day of the incident it became an empty building. It was discovered as such by one of the locals wives going out to see one of the orphanages caretakers at the well as usual. But when they never came she went to investigate the building only to find it empty of almost everything inside except a few useless items. It's considered a mystery even now."
