Kings and Heirs

-Chapter IX- -World Eater-

On deserted and empty lands, the two brothers were facing each other. They didn't care about other people around. Alwis seemed to be controlled by Dralgath. Faelyn was left paralyzed by sweat and bewilderment. He couldn't move. His eyes were shaking like his heart. Barely a sentence came out of his mouth. "My brother...You... you were dead." Alwis stood unresponsive in the face. He didn't feel any emotion. "So do you," he replied. Faelyn succumbed to his anger. As he clutched his sword, he began shouting into the sky. "Xelrath!" No matter how hard his body was, no matter how much blood was flowing, he didn't feel it. His eyes were filled with anger and pain. His worst enemy, the one he was supposed to kill, was his own brother. Xelrath's power surrounded Faelyn. In all his rage, he raised his sword. He pointed at him and started running quickly in the blink of an eye. Suddenly he jumped towards him. There was a hole occurred where he jumped. He swung his sword at him very quickly and powerfully. Alwis facial expression hasn't changed. He lifted the bow and prevented the incoming attack. A force formed when the bow collided with the sword, and Faelyn was pushed back. As he was about to fall to the ground, he took strength from the ground again with his legs and bounced. When he jumped behind Alwis, he took an arrow from his arrow holster and threw it at him. Alwis got away with it, too. The cold expression on his face never changed. Faelyn made another run attack. Alwis was tough on his brother. Before Faelyn could reach him, he threw an arrow with his bow. The arrow was lodged in Faelyn's shoulder, but he didn't feel the pain because of the anger he felt. He swung his sword right and left. Alwis, after escaping each attack, had a kick to the stomach. Then he hit him with his bow. Faelyn fell to the ground. His opponent was very, very strong. Alwis began to speak: "Heal Your Wounds Faelyn. Have more strength. After that, we'll settle the matter. I have more important work to do here." The black smoke on the man's left side stood very strong and frightening. He collected all that darkness in his left hand. Then he makes a great attack to the ground. A major concussion took place. The lush grass was shrouded in darkness. Arielle was scared by the concussion and walked out of the House. Faelyn took the frightened girl behind him and began to protect her. The earthquake was getting worse. Sounds were coming from under Arielle's House. The wood that was the building blocks of the house was starting to crack. Alwis's black smoke covered the floor of the whole house. There was nothing left to shake around and Faelyn had fallen to the ground. Suddenly the house was collapsed. Arielle was stunned and terrified. All the paintings, all the work was destroyed. A dent occurred just below the House. The earthquake had stopped. The house was demolished and the environment was quiet. A roar was heard from the pit below the house. It was such a powerful and frightening roar that Arielle began to cry out of fear. In the blink of an eye, a creature emerged from the pit. He flew so high that he looked teeny and so fast that even his shadow couldn't keep up with him. The sounds of wing flapping were echoing all over the empty land. This was a dragon. This was Zindiss, the World Eater.

The Zindiss had fierce amber eyes sit sunken within the creature's narrow and long skull, which gives him a savage-looking appearance. Several enormous horns were sitting atop the head, just above its wide, pointy ears. There were several rows of small crystal growths runs down the sides of each of his jawlines. His nose was large, had two large, curved nostrils and there was a horn on its chin. A few large teeth poke out from the side of his mouth and show a glimpse of the terror hiding inside. A strong neck was running down from his head and into a bulky body. The top was covered in warped scales and a fan-like growth runs down his spine. Its bottom was covered in coarse skin and was colored much lighter than the rest of its body. Four bulky limbs carry his body and allow the creature to stand graceful and intimidating. Each limb has three digits, each of which ends in spiny nails seemingly made of onyx.

Terrifying wings were growing starting from his shoulders and end at the lower end of his back. The wings are bladed in structure, the insides of the wing seem to be made of thin crystals and sharp hooks grow from the endings of each bone.

His long tail was ending in a curled tip and it was covered in the same warped scales as his body.

Faelyn's eyes were perplexed. That was the dragon, in Arielle's painting. Alwis opened both his arms to the sky. He didn't look scared. Suddenly he started shouting. "Come to your master, Dragon." Zindiss must have heard that and he started to roar again. He responded to Alwis after his glorious roar. He was grumbling as he began each sentence and hissing like a snake at the end of each sentence. "HRR, I'm back ptsss! Hrr, I feel the fire in my throat and the power in my clawsss! Hrr, kneel before me mortalsss!" The Voice of the dragon echoed across the sky. He was circling above and watching Alwis. Alwis was angry at the dragon because of did not respond to him. He started talking to himself. "You wanted this, creature!" He held his bow tight. The smoke surrounding him was slowly disappearing in the air. Dralgath seemed to have abandoned him. But the daylight just went out. Dark minted. Faelyn began to watch Alwis and the dragon in amazement. Alwis started shouting with all his power. "Dralgath!"

It was dark again around Alwis. But this time, in a very strong way. He covered his entire left arm, including his bow. Alwis wasn't suffering like Faelyn. Alwis took an arrow from his holster and stretched the bow. The arrow was blackened thoroughly. He threw his arrow towards the dragon. But there was something strange. Dralgath rose through the arrow. He cut the dragon with his own hand and started laughing. There was a silhouette of black smoke. His crimson eyes and pointed teeth were frightening. The surrounding area of the smoke was a purple color. The dragon roared towards the demon. The demon roared against him. The dragon was scared.

The dragon was stunned. There was a demon as big as him. He took a deep breath and sprayed all the fire accumulating in his throat on him. The fire didn't even harm the demon's shadow. The Demon started laughing. His outcry echoed across the entire sky. He began to speak slowly with a thick and muffled voice. "You fool, I am the devil's himself. A little fire can't hurt me." The silhouette of smoke raised his fist and poked it into the Dragon's fire-breathing mouth. The dragon was roaring in pain. He started flapping towards the sky. Suddenly he turned upside down in the air and began to fly towards the shadow. He passed through the shadow and fell to the ground in amazement. The demon of smoke kept laughing. "You can't beat me, creature!" The dragon was in fear. It seemed that he was afraid of his grunting voice. "No human son can beat me! Who are you!?" Alwis started walking towards the dragon on the ground. The Dragon had his wings ready to take off again. But right then, the demon threw another punch. Dralgath shouted. "Don't try!"

The dragon seemed to have given up on. The glorious demon in the sky had completely returned to the body of Alwis. Alwis and Dralgath's voice seemed united. "We are your master, creature! You will obey us. Help me and all four of my friends. If you deserve to be a 'World Eater', stay with us and destroy the worlds!" At that moment, Faelyn and Xelrath were in fear in the face of the power of their enemies. Arielle burst into tears of her own.

The dragon was gasping. "I Zindiss! Majestic dragon, World Eater! From now on, my fire will shine for you and my claws will cut for you, my master!" The dragon was subservient to Alwis. Alwis walked confidently towards the dragon. He jumped around his neck, and the Warriors next to him jumped right behind him. He looked at his brother one last time before he took off. He turned his head and ordered it. "Take us home!" The dragon took off, flapping his wings, and began to glide in the sky. His roar was heard from everywhere. Faelyn understood that he needed to get stronger. His brother, whom he used to get along with very well, was now his worst enemy. He fainted because he couldn't get used to his demon form. Arielle had begun drawing a house painting...
