Tlos The Drsgon Destiny

chapter 3: the forces of the dark master

Cronia found herself in the celestial caves. handling a crystalline brute problem the keep had. she was to destroy them all leaving not any of the golems alive in the celestial caves. Cronia was a 17 old dragoness now. and very experienced thanks to the teachings from Astra and the chronicler. but while taking out golems something caught the corn of her sharp eyes,

She went after it to see what she saw. to investigate what it was if the white isle had unwelcome visitors,

She soon found herself in the twisted forests of the white isle. and suddenly she was besieged by a horde of apes. baring the insignia of the dark master a symbol Cronia had studied during her lessons,

"Apes state your business! or I won't hesitate to attack you are not welcome here!" Cronia said in warning lowering herself in a ready stand to fight. "we must abide by our king. and the keep of time must fall!" One of the larger apes said. as he took a swing at Cronia with a metal blade. as Cronia attacked striking them down with her strength alone. before running to the keep she had to warn the chronicler and Astra about the danger,

"This is bad. the apes attacking the keep? How did they even find it it's so remote." Cronia thought to herself and stopped running. a new thought enter in her mind. "wait if they are here. does that mean... oh no!" horror grip her she realized with a jolt. the apes were here to killed the chronicler!

Cronia ran faster. beating her wings for extra speed. she needed to warn her mentor and friend soon as possible. before the apes launched their attack on the keep,

Cronia ran through the corridor towards the main room of the keep. the sound of her talons against the stone floor. alerting the chronicler and Astra to her approach,

Cronia came like a wild wind. making some of the sentient books fly off the bookshelves in the gust,

"Cronia what seems to be the problem deary?" The chronicler asked. as he looked upon her while Cronia was catching her breath,

"We have trouble! Big trouble! While I was dealing with the crystalline brutes issue. I saw something out the corner of my eye." Cronia started. "what was it Cronia?" Astra interjected. "a group of apes all clad in purplish black armor. a few carried wicked looking jagged metal blades. but that wasn't the worst they were all wearing the insignia of the dark master!" Cronia said as she finished,

the room fell silent, the tension palpable as her words hung in the air. The Chronicler, his brow furrowed with concern, exchanged a glance with Astra, whose expression shifted from curiosity to alarm.

"The Dark Master," the Chronicler murmured, his voice grave. "I had hoped we would not seen him or his minions until the prophecy dragon was ready" the chronicler said the gravity of their situation palpable in his voice,

"Chronicler you have yet to tell me of the prophecy dragon. and the dark master malefor." Cronia reminded him he hadn't told Cronia the legends of the purple and violet dragons,

"I apologize sincerely for forgetting that Cronia. I will tell you soon as we fortify the keep. and activate the ancient defenses." the chronicler said as Cronia nodded on understanding. and Astra ran off to fulfill one of her primary responsibilities. as a elemental dragoness construct and sworn defender of the keep of time,

The ancient defenses were activated. store trolls in mass. forming defensive walls of swords and shields. around the keep's outer perimeter,

Crystalline brute pure element families. were awakening from their slumber in the ground around the white isle. their territorial nature made them a perfect natural defense against invaders,

Next Astra activated. the elemental  Crystal Ball Spiders. form of defense that served to protect the keep at all costs. even overcharging their element core to in for a self detonation. all to protect the keep and the chronicler within,
