There was a feeling of strong wind as a band of clouds formed above them. It was sparkling with flashes of lightning forming a humanoid figure made of nothing but clouds and lightning. You could notice the eyes as some small crooked circles that were on the face.
"You will now be chosen by the celestial energy that resides in me and the other commanders but only one of you will be chosen the others will die instantly. Do you all agree to take the risk," he warned them.
All the men nodded. And the cloud pushed itself into their mouths. There was struggling for a few seconds before the first man stood up and yelled from pain then disintegrated to ashes. The second produced lighting then exploded into bits same happened to the third and fourth. They were creating a bloody scene as one by one perished.
Michelle found everything terrifying, but then the last man stayed down with nothing happening to him
"Stand up," Talon commanded then asked him, "What is your name?"
"Victor….my name is Victor." said the young man,
"Well victor welcome to the high ranks." a shadow cloak appeared on his back and his black hair grew longer as his feet also started to vanish turning him into a shadow-like creature.
Behold the power of the shadows!
They all cheered.
****************
Michelle stepped into Talon's office, which was on the top floor of the building where the hall was. He was on a video call with his laptop set on the table and him looking straight at it as he conversed with the woman whose face was displayed on the screen. He turned once he noticed her presence. "Michelle, I didn't expect you to be here so soon."
"I will call you back doctor…thank you. You don't know how grateful I am," he said to the woman as he canceled the video call and turned his attention to Michelle.
"Did you attend the meeting?" he picked a bottle of scotch and poured the fluid in a small glass.
"I did, why didn't you tell them about the anchors and how we are searching for them," she quickly jumped straight to an argument.
He silenced for a bit, then said.
"You see Michelle, I can't tell them about the anchors because none of them is ready to face the freak-in lord of wisdom Leon Kay, who currently has Agatha's Bow." He seemed stressed by just saying that,
"Leon Kay is currently one of our biggest problems because he keeps on picking his nose into our activities and I find that very repulsive. But I do have a plan to take care of him, I have just received a call from one of my informants and they have told me that Scarlet and her team of friends are heading to the dark ends of the multiverse in search of the sword of Argus or as I may call it the sword of chaos."
"That's where Tecar is." Michelle muttered.
"Exactly. So I am sending you there with commander Scalaban and Victor to go and retrieve the girl and the sword."
"And her friends?" she asked
"Just save me the boy who can use elemental magic for me he may be of great use with those fighting skills.
"Okay, but what are going to do? watch?" she laughed.
" No. am going to do something harder am going to the Kay mansion and am going to attack Leon Kay to get Agatha's bow and for that be possible I need more power I need dragons…" he cleared his throat, "dragons you happen to have." He smiled at her deliriously.
Having the power of fire wasn't her only ability, since she was given this power by the strongest dragons, Michelle could command dragons by herself using that power, though she had never used that power before, "But the dragons are in Tecar its almost impossible to come here within just a day." she mentioned
"Who said we are using Tecar's dragons. You see Eldriym may have been the home of gods and birthplace of magic but dragons were long here before the gods. The master said they only need a drop of dragon fire magic. Magic you happen to have in excess."
Michelle had never even imagined that dragons could ever exist anywhere else. All her life she had grown only knowing about the ones that were in her world,
"Fire magic…uh."
"Yes..fire magic. the dragons of this world died millenniums ago bringing them back as dragons they will need your fire," he explained.
She gave a deep thought about it but as long as it kept her world safe she didn't care about how many lives of people who have to be lost in order for her to achieve this.
"Then take me to their corpses."
"Perfect." he placed his glass on the table then walked up to her and put this hand on her shoulder as he teleported both of them out of the office and to what looked like an underground cave.
He waved his hands and a magic circle formed itself on the ground right under both their feet. She looked and the walls of this cave resembled dragon faces With carvings that looked like horns and teeth. Almost as if the dragons had been turned to stone and were now statues, there were seven dragons if you counted the stone heads. She touched one of them and gasped once she felt the connection, she saw this specific being ridden by a very beautiful red-haired woman in golden armor and a huge sword in her hand. It looked like they fighting something very big because they were airborne and you could see from below cities were on fire and people were crying from below.
"Michelle!" She was pulled out of the vision by Talon's voice
What was that? She looked around
What was what?" Talon asked, "The vision the dragon showed me a vision or a memory."
"I don't care about the visions my question can you bring it back to life," he yelled. Michelle stared at him and said in a soft tone, "Yes."
She turned and faced the stoned dragons.
"Dragons of Eldriym…my name is Michelle Terror I am the dragon. I command you all to do my bidding." flames raged from her body and crawled into the dragons' faces as cracks began to form where they had been stoned.
The ground started to rattle and the walls rumbled down as the cave started to collapse.
"Now return to life…"
******************
The ground exploded open as huge winged seven dragons broke out and roared so loud that even the earth shook. One of them was being ridden by Talon the other six were flying around Michelle, who was also flying on her own.
Talon looked and saw a small town nearby,
"Now let's take these things for a test drive." He said then moved his dragon heading for the town. He rained down flames onto every house and burnt each and every single living person he saw using the dragon's power. He burnt it all till it was nothing but ashes. A full town had been burned down by just one dragon.
He yelled in excitement but Michelle wasn't so happy about the view or what she saw. Deep inside she knew this was wrong but also deep inside she didn't care a single bit about what happens to this world.
"Leon Kay doesn't stand a single chance against us. This will serve as a warning and a wake-up call for everyone to know that we exist." he had formed the symbol of the creed a snake consuming its own tail. He took one look at the beast he was standing on. Its skin was as rough and felt like stone, its body was warm, it had long black horns, very sharp teeth, and golden eyes showing the connection of fire it shared with Michelle.
"Let's head back. How fast can things go?" Talon asked with so much excitement in His voice.
"Fast enough, where are we?" she asked. "Australia…"
"Then we will be home in just a minute." She replied then commanded the dragons and they all set off with an explosive sound following after.
