***AUTHOR'S POV***
The icy expanse of Antarctica, now concealed under a mystical shield. A shimmering barrier stretches high into the sky, casting an ethereal glow over the landscape. The wind still howls, swirling snow around the figures of Valeria, Emilia, and the colossal dragon, Ancalagon, who hovers above them, his wings beating with a sound like thunder. The stars are obscured, hidden behind the powerful magic that now cloaks the area from any prying eyes.
.
As Ancalagon's massive wings beat against the icy air, he rose into the sky with a grace that defied his enormous size. His scales gleamed in the faint light, a mesmerizing blend of black and silver, as if forged from the night itself. Valeria watched in awe as he flew higher, his presence radiating an ancient, formidable power. The wind whipped around him, obeying his command, and with a great roar, he unleashed his magic.
A wave of dark energy erupted from the dragon’s body, cascading outwards in a wide arc. The energy swirled and twisted, forming a dome of shimmering violet light that enveloped the entire region. The barrier pulsated, humming with power, and then settled into a steady glow, merging seamlessly with the night. It was as if the very fabric of reality had shifted, altering the atmosphere to hide the presence of the dragon and the sword.
Valeria 's eyes wide with astonishment, voice filled with wonder “He’s…he’s created a shield. This entire area, hidden from sight. No human eye or technology will be able to see us now. His power… it’s incredible.”
Emilia nodded, her own gaze fixed on the dragon above them, her expression a mix of respect and caution.
Emilia whispered softly, as if speaking to herself “Ancalagon is one of the oldest and most powerful dragons to ever exist. His magic is ancient, primal, a force that transcends time itself. It would take a creature of unimaginable strength to control him.”
Valeria’s mind raced with possibilities, trying to comprehend the scale of what she was witnessing. If this dragon, Ancalagon, was capable of such immense power, then what kind of being could command him? She recalled the vision she had seen, of a man with yellow eyes and black veins, the one who had given her the Destroyer. Could he be the one who controlled Ancalagon?
Valeria thinking aloud, her voice tinged with curiosity and trepidation as she spoke
“If Ancalagon is this powerful, then how much more powerful must his master be? Who could wield such a majestic creature as their own? Could it be… the one from my visions? The man with the yellow eyes?”
Emilia turned to look at Valeria, a knowing glint in her eyes.
Emilia carefully nods , gauging Valeria’s reaction “The one you speak of, with the yellow eyes and the black veins, is Zelerious, the Dark Lord. He is the one who commands Ancalagon, the one who once shared a bond with you in your past life. His power is ancient, forged in the beginnings of the universe. Ancalagon’s strength is but a reflection of his master’s might.”
Valeria’s heart skipped a beat at Emilia's words. Zelerious. The name echoed in her mind, bringing with it a sense of familiarity and fear. She felt a strange connection, like a thread of destiny pulling her toward the unknown. The Destroyer in her hand pulsed faintly, resonating with the name of the Dark Lord. If Zelerious was indeed the one who commanded Ancalagon, then facing him would require all the power she could muster—and more.
Valeria spoke with determination, yet contemplative “If Zelerious is the one who commands this dragon, and if he is truly connected to me, then I must learn everything I can. About him, about my past, and about why the Destroyer chose me. I need to be ready, Emilia. Whatever lies ahead, I need to be ready to face it.”
Emilia’s expression softened, a hint of pride mixed with caution. She placed a reassuring hand on Valeria’s shoulder.
Emilia nods, “You are strong, Valeria. Stronger than you know. With the Destroyer by your side, you will uncover the truth. And when the time comes, you will have the strength to stand against even the Dark Lord. But be careful. Power is a double-edged sword, and Zelerious will not be easily defeated. For now, we must proceed with caution. Let us learn all we can while we still have the time.”
ANCALAGON growls shaking the whole atmosphere..
" Prove that you are worthy of this sword ! "
