Chapitre 52: Dragon Gathering.
The moment Maulketh gave his ruler's roar, all over the Earth and the Underworld, all dragons answered his call. From beasts like Wyverns, Drakes, and Land Dragons, all the way to the higher ranks of dragons. Even the hoasts of Dragon Sacred Gears felt the call and began to follow the roar with obsession.
Even Crom Cruach and Tiamat felt the call to gather and they obeyed. They both would have not followed the call for any other dragon, but Maulketh was not just any dragon. He hoasted both Ddraig and Albion, he was blessed by Ophis, had his own Principle, and a Spark of Divinity.
Even the still-living Dragon Kings and Evil Dragons, mostly dead or sealed, forced themselves to gather at his call. And to ensure his gathering was not bothered, Maulketh spread his Domain of Tyrrany all over North America. From Canada, Mexico, and America, all of it fell under his domain. He Dominated the minds and wills of the mortal races but allowed the Supernatural ones to go unbothered.
And as long as he was Superior to all the beings in his Domain, they would never have a chance to fight back. He was the Dragon Emperor of Tyrrany, and all of North America would soon belong to Dragon Kind.
Those who followed the rules could live in peace, but the ones who fought back, well he was Tyrrany Personified for a reason. However, his lair was in Yellowstone, so he would move Mount Olympus to float above his lair.
That way he could keep an eye on the Greek gods as he would let Hades keep control over them. However, he was the one who would truly be in charge which reminded him. He sent a message to all of the Greek gods that were on his side.
As for the ones who did not join his alliance, but stayed neutral they would be rewarded for their neutrality. But the ones who had any thoughts of fighting against him, well they could become another Zeus or Hermes meatball.
'We should all gather at Mount Olympus. My mountain.'
As did this he looked down at the body of Zeus which was being drained of all its power. Yet at that moment, he remembered what he had almost forgotten. He hoped his sword did not eat her.
"Wait, Metis. You did not eat her right?"
A small voice of a male child answered him.
'No, sir.'
"Are you sure?"
'I promise. See.'
The giant sword pulled out of the still alive Zeus and a small portal opened up on the surface of the blade. From it dropped a slim, pretty silver-haired girl. She looked a bit like Athena just chid-like. And her Divinity felt weak almost mortal.
A side effect of being eaten maybe?
"Good, she is alive. Continue your meal."
'YAY!'
The child-like mind of Leavetine drove back into Zeus' chest where he began to absorb the Ichor of the god, his soul, and any divinity which remained. As that happened, Maulketh's three familiars gathered around him in their full sizes.
They would just have to wait for the dragons, and the gods gathered. They did not have to wait long for the Greek gods to gather. Hera, Ares, Hephestus. Athena, Hestia, Poseidon, and Dionysus, came the fastest to Olympus while the other Olympians were followed by the minor gods.
Hades was not present and would not be as he was still in Tarturus. Though Athena noticed her mother's unconsciousness in the air. She was being held by the telekinesis of Maulketh so she instantly rushed to her side.
"MOTHER!"
Maulketh placed Metis in the hands of Athena as the gods were here Ares looked at Zeus on the floor stuck with that giant blade in his chest.
"Damn it, I wanted to stick him like a pig. We said we would do it together."
Maulketh chuckled.
"Sorry, I had a use for him. Now, get ready, they are coming. My kin."
---
From the seaside of New York, massively scaled heads of Blue, Bronze, and Black dragons began to rise from the water. There were no more than 100 of either species. The Black dragons were the largest which measured around 50 meters in length.
Blue dragons were around 40 meters in length with Bronze Dragons being around 37 meters. However, leading the three dragon types were three massive dragons. The Black and Blue dragons a male and a female walked side by side with the Bronze walking a distance away.
The rulers of their three species, the dragons that called the sea home had arrived. The three species live amongst the others, but this was the first time the entire races had gathered as dragons usually were solitary.
They were called a 'Group' as they shared a massive area of the sea, not because they actually worked in groups. However, this time, the three species gathered as one to answer the Ruler's roar. The dragon unites the races of Dragon Kind.
They all looked toward the Empire State Building where they could see Maulketh. Dragons respected the strong, and that giant Mountain Dragon fit that. In silence, the 300 dragons began to advance toward the city.
In the Sky, three large portals opened which flew in Three giant Dragons. Tiamat, the Chaos Karma Dragon, reached 60 meters in length, with Dark Blue scales covering her body. Two large wings and two large horns curved from her head.
From the other portal emerged Crom Cruach, the Chaos Karma Dragon, who was smaller at only 30 meters in length. In any other situation they would have fought the other, but this time they were drawn here by Maulketh.
When they both laid eyes on Maulketh who was looking at the dragons gathering they were left shocked. They thought they were large, but how could they call themselves big when that dragon existed?
Tiamat was a Heavenly Dragon, so she had her pride. But she was not a fool so she advised Crom Cruach to not do anything dumb.
"Crom Cruach, let's not fight that guy."
However, the smaller black and golden dragon already filled his mind with the fight he would have with that dragon.
"Not a chance, dragons only respect the strong, and he has to prove it to me."
Down bellow the Black Dragon laughed.
"You can try Evil Dragon, but I agree with Tiamat. You can feel it can't you, that spark of Divinity. After so long one of us shall rise to that legendary status. A Dragon God."
Pure reverence was in the Black Dragon's black-slitted eyes. Tiamat landed near by and turned to him.
"Rayrvyg, The Insane. Seems sanity has returned to you."
Rayrvyg snorted.
"I am not insane. I dislike that title."
The Blue Dragoness turned to him and nuzzled her face against him.
"Calm darling. That title makes you sound menacing. Unlike mine."
Crom Cruach landed on the ground amongst his kin, the first time this many dragons had ever gathered in one group.
"Zindaedus The Water Reaper, sure."
The Bronze Dragon had stayed silent till now spoke in an old voice. He was the oldest and strongest of the three dragons as he was much older than either of them. His name was Nuvroanoi, The Voiceless.
An ironic name as his Lightning and Thunder magic were the loudest of them.
"Let's not keep him waiting."
All of the dragons spread their giant wings and as one large group, they took to the skies covering New York in a shadow of scales and muscle. And they were not the last, portals opened up around New York as more Dragons emerged.
Tannin, Yu Long, Midgardsormr though was absent as he had fallen asleep once more. That was the end as more dragon types began to teleport into the city. From giant violent Red Dragons who came to answer the call of Maulketh, the strongest Red Dragon ever.
White Dragons, the kin of Albion, but also Green Dragons of the Forests, of Earth and the Underworld, Yellow Desert Dragons, Sky Dragons, but also the lesser types of Wyvern, Drake, and Land Dragon began to walk through the city.
Maulketh looked out at the several thousands of his kin who had answered his call. But even Dead Dragons had gathered, called here by his roar. The Dead Evil Dragons, and many dragons who still lived on as Wraiths appeared.
Many landed on Building tops, others in the streets, and some stayed in the sky. Maulketh walked to the edge of Mount Olympus and broke the illusion to hide it so he could be clearly seen.
His giant wings cast a shadow as he took to the sky floating high in the air. Celestine, Grimnar, and Astrid took to the sky with him. They flew around him and now that he was here he released the humans of New York from the control he had on them, partially.
Instantly panic set in when all over their city thousands of dragons were in the sky, on buildings, and in the streets. Panic would have set in if not for the fact that Maulketh kept the minds calm. He broke the silence and spoke.
"Welcome, Dragon Kind to the beginning of our reign. Since the start of history, we dragons have been respected, feared, and admired for our power. On our own, we can bring countries to ruin, the world even. And yet, through the ages, the strongest of our ranks have fallen to the weakest race, humanity.
They are weak, they age, they die, and yet they still can slay us. US! Because they have one thing we Dragons never had, unity. When a Red Dragon goes invading, they unify, and in the end that Dragon goes on into the anals as another slayed by Dragon Slayers.
Worse yet, we are sealed away in Sacred Gears, for the rest of time. If left as things are, there will be a day when we Dragons will just be a memory of a bygone era. Look around us, our dead kin gather hear even in their deaths."
Looking around, the former apparitions of dead dragons filled the city. Each one might have one day been a powerful force of nature, but now they were nothing big ghosts. Even many dead Evil Dragons were here.
That instantly caused a well of rage and fire to fill each dragon's heart. Saying it out loud was one thing, but seeing their dead brethren around them roused their hatred and Maulketh's Principle of Tyrrany was working wonders to enforce his authority.
The Blessing of Ophis though increased his affinity to dragons and himself.
"So, here I, Maulketh Imperator Tempus, Chosen of Ophis, heir of Ddraig and Albion, The Dragon Emperor of Tyranny, gathered us as one. The mortal races can take one of us when we are on our own, but they can't when we fight as one.
SO, THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF OUR RULE! I AM TAKING THIS CONTINENT FOR DRAGON KIND! FROM THIS DAY, THIS CONTINENT IS RULED BY US DRAGONS AND FOR US DRAGONS!"
Instantly a cacophony of roars responded to his words. If there was ever a dragon worthy of the ruling, Maulketh was that Dragon. A Dragon God in the making, but the majority were instantly on board, only a few were wary.
Yu-Long took to the sky not far from Maulketh.
"What about the other pantheons?"
Maulketh snorted.
"I have allies among the Norse and Greek pantheons. I am friends with Shiva himself, but why do I feel pure feer from you? Dragons should not fear anything, yet you feel scared."
Yu-Long laughed.
"No, no, no fear here. I am very brave."
"Right. Any one else have anything against my words."
Tiamat and Crom Cruach looked at each other and nodded. They both took to the skies and flew not far from Yu Long and Maulketh. Tiamat spoke first.
"Maulketh, you should know words are not good for our race. So, I, Tiamat, The Chaos Karma Dragon challenge you to a fight."
Crom Cruach grinned barring his fangs.
"Count me in that fight."
Maulketh grinned barring his own fangs which were MUCH bigger than theirs.
"Challange accepted."
Instantly the dragons down bellow began to roar and call like a pack of beasts. Beating two Heavenly Dragons was the perfect test to prove his words.
