Capítulo 204: Pyramid of Light (V)
Zero did not bow down in front of the Elven Queen. Instead, he glared down at her as if she was some insignificant bug. She was the cause of all the trouble for his people and his companions. He still had a hateful glare at the Elven Queen, who had treated them so roughly.
"Bow down, dragon. You are in the presence of the Elven Queen." A soldier yanked hard on the metal chain.
Zero eyes flared up in anger, and he whipped his head, causing the elven soldier to fly toward the wall. A loud thundering crash could be heard as the elven fell unconscious. With all the strength he could muster, he broke the chains on his mouth.
"I will not bow down to my enemy, elf!" Zero yelled with a roar. The walls trembled, and the leaves of the tree shook. "Do you think I am your pawn?" He blasted out Dark Fire, causing the surrounding area to burst into flames.
The ground rumbled, and the Dark Fire intensified. Elven soldiers ran to blot out the raging fire and quelled the angered dragons. Every one of the dragons was filled with rage at how they were treated.
"Enough!" The Elven Queen spoke, and the Dark Fire disappeared in seconds. "I am sorry to bring you to the castle so roughly." She stood up and descended the stairs.
"Have the Elves forgotten the old alliance with the Drezo Regalia, or have you thrown away your words? Here I thought the Elves were known to keep their words." Zero angrily voiced his opinion.
"No. You are correct; we have not forgotten the old ways, nor do we break our alliance with the Drezo Regalia. We will hold up to our bargain even to this day. Your people are welcome to stay in the City of Elements."
All of the messages appeared before Zero and Agnis.
Sanctuary with the Elves Quest has been Completed. Therefore, no extra reward is given.
This was not how he wanted to finish the quest, especially as a hostage.
"Then why did you resort to such underhanded ways to bring us here?"
"That is a different matter entirely. You see, your presence has caused an age-old problem to arise. This requires a certain amount of dragons to take part in this test."
Zero was confused. What was the problem the Queen spoke of to cause his people to be chained and treated like prisoners ?His anger dissipated and instead turned into curiosity. "What would that be?"
"We need you to enter the Pyramid of Light. Your blunder of calling the spirits has caused a malicious dark spirit to escape and now reside in the Pyramid. Such a mistake has caused all the people in this City to be infected. All the Drezo Regalia and their partners must partake in this ordeal. We will not be helping you conquer this dungeon because only your kind can face this crisis."
"My blunder?" Zero was confused.
"Yes. You let loose a Black Dragon Spirit when you fought with the Kingdom of Terra's soldiers. For the past few days, foul air has descended upon the City every day at sunset. The source is even stronger near the Pyramid. Elron will lead you to the destination. If you fail to destroy this cause, the undead will overrun our City in six months. We will hunt you all down till none of you are alive. That is if we even survive this attack."
The Elven Queen's words were filled with anger. She glowered at Zero with contempt.
Then it hit him; he remembered the black dragon spirit that escaped the rift and disappeared. He did not know that this dragon would end up in the City of Elements. For once, he felt like this was his fault, but at the same time, they were mistreated.
"Elven Queen. All you needed to do was ask and I would've come. You did not have to resort to such measures where you threatened our existence. My people are not as bountiful as yours, nor did we mean any harm." Zero growled. Flames erupted out of his nose.
"I am well aware of what I have done. In compensation, I will reward your kind companion in defeating this wretched creature."
"Though I have to wonder why you have not sent anyone else into the Pyramid till now?"
"Have you not heard, dragon? The Pyramid of Light only allows the Drezo Regalia and their companions. That building has been under my reign since the agreement with the Drezo Regalia, in which case that is your ancestor's legacy."
Legacy? Zero eyes fluttered when he heard that word. This meant that the Pyramid of Light was exactly like the Draconis Library. Somewhere in the building, he had to put in a Krustallos to activate its core.
"On your return, you will receive back your ancestor's legacy. Only eighty-two in a total of your strongest dragon kind and your companion can enter the Pyramid. You must get this completed." The Elven Queen breathed in deeply and let out a sigh. "There is one more thing you must do."
"That is?"
"I would like my Hero to take part in this quest."
"But didn't you say that only the Drezo Regalia and their companion can enter?" Zero was lost at her words.
"Yes. I would like your people to bind a young dragon with my people once again. With this, our agreement between the two races will be completely renewed."
Zero thought it over for a moment. What the Queen was saying was a powerful statement. Having a solid tie with the Elves once again was something that they needed to stay alive. His people needed to be stronger to deal with large enemies. He looked over at Elron one more time. He could tell that gaining the elves' trust was a formidable feat, especially because the Elven races were magically secluded. Gaining the trust of the Elves was a challenging thing to do.
"Fine. We must get back to the Village. There is one thing that I would like to ask for."
"Go ahead."
"I would like the Draconis Village protected from raiding enemies when we are in your kingdom."
"That is not a problem. I will station my people to guard your Village, but if you fail, we will resort to destroying it firsthand."
"I understand." Zero knew there was a risk in doing this, but he knew he couldn't let this chance slip by.
"I am glad you are much easier to talk to than your mother."
"Wait, you know my mother?" Zero wondered how old the Elven Queen was.
"Yes, do you not know your origin?"
"I have only been born into this world not too long ago. Unfortunately, such memories have not been passed down to our generation."
"I see. You will find your answer at the Pyramid of the Light. Let them free." The Elven Queen waved her hands for them to leave. All the elves moved and freed them all. A message could be heard in the ears of the strongest Drezo Regalias and their Companions as a message appeared before them.
New Chain Quest has begun. This quest can not be denied and has overwritten all other quests. Therefore, this quest is a priority quest.
Elven Queen's Favor

"So what do I need to do?" Elron was in the Magma room, where all the eggs were kept warm.
"Did you find someone on your side to be your partner?" Zero asked. He was in his human form with Agnis by his side.
"Yea. My childhood friend wanted to play a dragon. She said it would be cool if it wreaked havoc on people or something."
"She sounds diabolical."
"You don't know the half of it. So, where exactly is she?"
"You have to find her."
"Really?" Elron walked through the thick piles of eggs. There were small numbers of new dragons being born inside the room. He finally stopped in front of a silver smiley-face egg. "I get the strange feeling she chose this one."
"Then that's her."
Elron squatted down and peered towards the egg. A small crack formed on the tip of the egg.
"That's her." Zero nodded. "They won't hatch unless a partner is present. It's a mystery that I don't even know."
"That's pretty cool." Elron was staring at the egg, excited, wondering what he would see next.
"If I were you, I'd help her out. Unfortunately, it will take a while for her to hatch at the rate she's going."
