Ragnarok's Rising

Part 2: The fall of the Nephelem

Drake and Annabell circled over where the succubi had landed and put Samantha in a draining rune. Drake motioned for them to circle wide and land about 20 feet away behind the rubble of a building that fell. It was going well until two more succubi intercepted them and alerted the three around Samantha. The leader, identifible by her headcrown yelled up.

"Drop your weapons or the child dies, and I doubt she will come back seeing how she isnt 19 and doesnt have her rose." Annabell dropped her weapon, but Drake threw his and impaled the leader through the chest. She howled and tried desperatly tried to remove her self from the blade, failing due to the guard bars. The other succubi rose up at them and Drake surged forward and sent one rocketing towards the ground, its entire body being crushed upon impact. The other clawed at Drake, rakeing his face with its claws. Drake eyes flashed red.

"That was uncalled for."He said before sending the succubi into the two fighting Annabell. Drake sent a spear of light and impaled them before causing it to explode. He decended to the ground and destroyed the rune holding Samantha and she collapsed into his arms. Drake brushed the hair from her face and shook her slightly. Her eyes opened.

"Hi daddy, where am I."

"I think the we're in the park." He said smiling. "Annabell, I need you to take her out of the city and as far as possible, I'll find you as soon as i can."

"I staying wi-."

"No, I need to be sure you're safe, I can't be worrying about you while I'm fighting Azeron." Annbell nodded, scooped up Samantha, and surged upward then eastward. Drake turned to the Succubi still impaled on his blade. He bent the shadows so that they formed into multiple points at her throat.

"Where is Azeron."

"Why would I tell a nephelem scum like you that."

"Because if you don't, I'm going to make the rest of you living moments painful enough that it transfers over into your afterlife." The succubi growled at Drake.

"He is in you capitol building, main floor, he is waiting for you."

"Good." Drake used the shadows to behead the succubi. He removed his blade from the burning corpse. He shot upwards and spotted the burning capitol, then surged towards it. Drake landed infront of the door and struck down two helstrikers. He kicked the door in and saw Azerons demonic form standing there. His flaming skull, gleaming armor coated blade with red blended in the spikes. His blade curved wickedly and dripped with the blood of the nephelem that lie rotting on the floor.

"Ah, Drake your finally here, saves me the trouble of finding you later. So, hows life here in Calceron."

"OH it's perfect most days, just the occasional demon invansion from a jackass warmonger." Azeron growled at Drake and bullcharged, his firey skull blazing blue. Drake quickly brought his blade up and deflected Azeron, his feet sliding backwards a few feet. Drake jumped over head threw Azeron back into the room, causing him the slam into the far wall. Azeron pulled himself out and threw several fireblast at Drake. Drake deflected them, having them launch upwards, sending part of the roof falling to the ground. Drake used the momentary distraction to launch at Azeron and ram his blade into Azerons' chest. The demon roared as his green blood poured out from the massive wound. Azeron roared one final time and exploded in a massive ball of fire that engulfed the building. When the light died down, Drake was left standing on a thin pillar that lead down to bottom of the 30 foot deep crater. He looked skyward and saw the portal closeing, and the demons being pulled back in. Drake flew upward and grimaced at he destruction of his home city.

"So much, life and history lost," He thought solemly to himself,"I suppose I should erase this place so the humans don't find it and steal the technologies we had." Drake charged up a massive ball of light and shadow. He surged skyward and dropped the blast, watching as the explosion engulfed what remained of his once pround city, and ensureing that nothing else survived. He flew off to go find his wife and daughter.

*authors note* I do relize this one was longer but i didnt want to split into 2 chapter due to it not really working. also i know that azeron isnt desricbed well that is due to him not ever popping up again so he doesnt really matter(however i would like to see concept art of what you guys think he looks like, put a link in th ecomments if you do ill say if you got close to what he looks like in my mind).
