Lana wrapped both her hands around her husbands as a bright smile spreads across her face, letting him know that she will also be going with him on this trip."I won"t let you run away from me, even if you run off to war I will follow behind you. I may not be as strong as you but I am not weak enough to die so easy in the battlefield. Lets go!" She said leaving with Ella and Tomas following behind.
Ella kisses me before she goes with her mother leaving me and Three Suns alone for a brief moment.
"Your wife reminds me of Valara, don"t let her down old man. Timothy will join you on the front lines, when you strike make sure you bring about the most suffering to those G.o.ds of Creation. Timothy has already received this order, show them what suffering means!" I said looking into the bright fire in Three Suns eyes.
Nodding that he understands he transforming into a flame that races after the others who left before him, turning around I step through the lava appearing inside the Palace. As the lava leaves my imprints in the ground as I walk the maids have a look of rage on their faces once they spot the damage caused by my "walk" towards the throne room.
"That lava should not be able to melt the ground! Inform everyone in the Palace that the Emperor is in a bad mood and be quick about it!!" Said one of the more experienced Palace guards.
Once I arrived inside the throne room the sight in my eyes is of Valara and Verena whose eyes mimic my own, the flaming black and red mixed together giving off a feeling of dread to those in the Palace. Samara on the side suppressing the rage as best she can looks over at me with her eyes being blood red, she walks up to me her hands clasping my face in a attempt to calm me down.
"We will deal with them I promise Dashnell! You stay here and don"t do anything stupid, also the Elders mainly Vargas wish to speak with Ibrahim. They said he has not been seen for the past five years, they know he likes his freedom but he left without saying anything to them. So they asked me to inform you to see if you could find a way to reach him as you did before." Samara said leading me to the throne before sitting on my lap making the others rage lessen as jealousy replaced it.
How could I forget to inform them about what Ibrahim truly is.... Wait this is not my fault that old monster became apart of me again on his own and did not even let anyone know about it while he just left that to me. Shaking my head I tell them to have the Elders and Vargas join them in the attack. "They don"t have to do much but that is were they will meet Ibrahim, he is a bit younger but Vargas should be able to spot him right away. If you want another person have Sophia around she should notice him hiding among the army, Tia a.s.signed the troops with her help after all so she should notice him quickly." I said leaning back in the throne thinking of a way to vent.
"I am going to enter the Void while you all are busy with the war." These words of mine bring the talking in the room to a silent stop.
As each of them voice their worries and demand I stay away from the Void, I tell them that I planned to go there without them knowing. That the reason for me going is to get something that is resting there in the Void and I must go get it sooner or later, that this trip won"t have any danger how could it the Void is apart of me after all. None of them want me to go and I feel that if I speak about what else is within the Void they would stop me from stepping one foot inside it even if I have to regain the piece of me that is needed for me to completely regain my former power.
One by one those inside the throne room kiss me goodbye as they head off to war and I leave too entering the Void, they must think this trip will last as long as the war but I will soon join the battlefield. Although I promised not to involve myself with the war how would they know if I send those like Ibrahim a manifestation of my power instead, Ibrahim alone is enough but I will show them what it means to enrage me. With the goodbyes done I sit alone on my throne before stepping off traveling through s.p.a.ce arriving at my destination, this ma.s.sive ball of energy wrapping itself in darkness is the very "ability" that has been with me for the longest time.
Feeling me getting closer to her she opens her eyes as the darkness envelops us both.
"Master you have need of me!? I feel your rage, your hate even your regret. But if you request it of me I shall follow you once more, but you should know what you promised me last tim-"
My stare alone gives my answer. As her body descends towards me her fully nude body is there for me to see, Black hair bright green eyes the naked body of this young woman wrapped in darkness bows before me.
"Come! Devour all of me for I am your Master!"
The darkness swirls around us as she merges with it before charging at me along with the ma.s.s of physical abyss, when the darkness of the Void returns to its dull black a mark of black ink makes its way down from my right eye stretching down to my cheek. Turning around to head back to the Palace to make the journey with my wives the mark can no longer be seen, as both my eyes are no longer a mix of black and red instead it is black and green.
......
Ibrahim helping organize the troops boarding a s.p.a.ceship for the first time helps them ease their minds of the fear they have leaving their homeworld. These fears only affect the newly recruited as most of the veterans or anyone who has spent more than a year in the Dragon Empires army would have already visited New Teress, as he was giving out orders his eyes flashed a strange green before turning back to their original color of pale green. "s.h.i.t did he wake up that monster? I best do everything I can to show she is not needed not just yet anyway." He said looking back towards the Palace before turning back to the crowd entering the ship.
Many of the troops look at Ibrahim unsure of who he is but see that every general has went up and greeted this strange green eyed youth. So they kept their talks to each other, speaking out to question this youth gave them a feeling of death when they looked into his eyes his black hair in the sunset giving of eerie vibes to the experienced war veterans. That was until a brave youth rushed up to the fearful green eyed black haired youth unafraid of the rumors that speaking to him would shorten your life.
"Who are you? I am Derrick Thruss a new General of the Dragon Empire, I know I have not spoken to many of the other higher ups as most of them are still away on missions but I know quite a few of them yet I have never seen you. Seeing as the others have all introduced themselves to you I guess you are even more new than I." Said Derrick out loud showing the others the youth is not someone they should fear as he is one of their Generals leading this army.
"Oh quite brave of you young Derrick! I am not a new General but an old one, do you not recognize me?" As he said these words he changed his form back into that of the old man everyone knew as an Elder of the Guardian race that the Emperor was close with, many thinking that they were father and son! Shock and fear now truly appeared on the faces of Derrick and the troops boarding this ship.
"Hahaha!" With a laugh Ibrahim returns back into his original form of the black haired green eyed youth. Informing them that he will be taking on a mission given to him by the Emperor during this war, that this is his true appearance he regained after regaining his true powers that were sealed away.
This vague information was enough for the soldiers of the army as they knew their judgment of this youth being a bringer of death was spot on, they prayed that the enemies who the youth was sent to kill were nowhere near their battlefields.
News spread that a youth named Ibrahim was directing orders on to those boarding the ship the Emperor choose to board, Vargas was among the first to rush over to verify the ident.i.ty of this youth.
Once he arrived his gaze immediately landed on the youth, dropping to the ground his memories went wild as he relieved his youth following around this very person through life and death. This youth was indeed the Ibrahim of old that he remembered, a hand landed on his shoulder as he looked over to see Sophia with a radiant smile on her face. "Dashnell has told me to bring you and the elders into the ship as he and Ibrahim have something to tell us!" She said helping the giant of a man to his feet, as everyone watched this stunningly beautiful woman lift up the man with a single hand chills ran down the spines of everyone who was "inspecting" her figure.
This chill became a sweat filled terror once they heard Derrick address her as Empress Sophia as he lead her into the ship along with the elite guard that was made to protect the Emperor, the unit of legend that everyone said did not exist made by Empress Eleanor.
