Somewhere really far away, hundreds of thousands of light-years from Earth, there is a planet. The size of which is roughly the size of Sam's bunch homeworld, and the environment is mostly the same. Blue ozone layers, white clouds, green landscape, even the components of the atmosphere are mostly similar. However, this place has a very particular feature that makes it extremely easy to differentiate between itself and Earth.
Surrounding the planet is a ring made of metal, orbiting it at all times. Looking closely, one can see that those are not purely metal, but flying cities and compounds, linked with each other by unknown means. They glow in artificial light so bright that rivals the stars. In addition, space ships of several shapes and sizes keep on moving between the cities and the planet. Here and there, futuristic drones can be seen doing some kind of construction, building the ring even bigger and more advanced than Earthlings can ever think of.
Most noticeable is the Sun of this system.
In contrary to Earth's natural Sun, this Sun has various solar panels wrapped around it, harnessing all of the energy created by the fusion reaction inside of the Sun's core. All of that energy will then be transferred back to the planet to be used.
The planet's name has been recently changed to something new. Since its current ruler is called Rhan, according to the law of the planet, it will be addressed as such until the next era of the next ruler.
And on that orbital ring of cities, there is one crystalline pyramid. Strangely, even though the orbital cities keep on spinning around the planet, the tip of the pyramid is always still. The site is called the Transparent Palace, the highest position of hierarchy of the Dragonkind. Floating above the base, the Palace aims at a certain patch of the starry sky at all times. In the past, this place used to be aimed at the planet itself, or anywhere that needed special attention. But from now on, that place will only gaze at a forgotten part of the universe.
In the top part of that prestigious crystalline Palace are two Crystal Seats. They are created from an extremely beautiful tree that took a thousand years of constant genetic modification, the Crystal Tree. On one seat are golden drawings of a dragon, while a figure of a man wearing two gauntlets is embedded on the others. Both are positioned so that the owners will always look at the universe.
Sitting with legs crossed on the Crystal Seat with the golden dragon, a figure stares silently into the darkness of the cosmos above her. The light of the Palace flashes on her, revealing a simply unimaginable beauty.
The figure has a style of short bob for her hair, with hazelnut for color. Her eyes are a magnificent golden, but the pupils are very thin, similar to that of lizards, or to be more precise, dragons. On two sides of her head are two sharp horns, the length should be close to the length of her hand. Although she is the person who holds the highest title of this Palace, she does not wear anything special but a white shirt and a short red skirt.
Her face is both gorgeous and brimming with confidence at the same time.
"Sam, my dear husband, my true king...my gauntlets should be able to aid you...This time, you will not have to live in darkness." Her face changes into that of a maiden in love.
She stands up from the chair and touches the other seat right next to her. In her golden dragon eyes, a hint of embarrassment, expectation, and anxiety can be seen.
The girl walks towards the edge of the Palace. As if trying to have a closer and better view of that place where her heart resides, she brings her right arm up. From behind, one could be able to see a scaly huge red tail the size of at least one of her legs and one pair of wings.
This figure is none other than Rhan.
The new Dragon King.
However, for some reason, she wants everyone to call her Dragon Queen. Of course, on paper, she is still the one and only Dragon King of the Dragonkind empire.
"As long as it is within my power, I will make all that oppose our way disappear." She mutters alone not in dragon tongue but Sam's native language. It is the language of Nohin.
"This time...I will definitely work...Phi...it will work...right? I even gave those girls a better chance at survival..." For some reason, there is a line of tears on her left cheek. Her voice begins to shake a little. "I can not ever make him stay with me alone...I know that...The thoughts of having to share him, ...and the thoughts of seeing him being devastated by their demise...The former is certainly less painful for me."
Rhan clutches her chest tightly, her golden eyes change into that of extreme jealousy and envy, the vortex eyes. But they also disappear very fast. She wants to kill them, she wants to make him totally her and her alone. The dragon girl has tried that many many times, each with different types of attempts, yet it always drove Sam to darkness.
Rhan can not remember how many times she has killed the girls, and how hard she tried to eliminate the next ones from approaching him. Still, in the end, she did not have the happiness she was looking for. He would always miss something, that was what Rhan felt.
It always ended in failure, even the Goddess of Love was slowly losing her power because of her selfishness.
There was no way for Rhan to keep herself from wanting him to herself, however. The current resolve she is having is only after countless of loss.
"If Sam needs you, so be it. But his number one is always me." She breaths out heavily.
*Knock knock*
"Your Highness!" There is a knock at the door at the furthest point of the room.
Rhan does not turn her back. She just says in Dragon tongue while still looking at that place. The tone and manners of her are suitable to the title of a King. "I am listening."
"We have been able to pinpoint the location of the planet you have been looking for."
"Really!!!" She immediately turns back. "I will not tolerate mistakes. This is of most importance to me. If this is false hope, some of you will die for deceiving me in the first place."
"Ye...yes, Your Highness." The person outside has cold sweat all over him. To get to this point, the new King, or Queen if she likes it, managed to kill every member in her royal family worthy of inheriting the throne without batting an eye. Even unborn children could not escape such a fate.
"Then prepare the warp drive at once! I want to go there!" She orders while her whole body trembles in excitement. Rhan can finally touch him again and she just can not wait. She wants to kiss him, hug him. The Dragon Queen wants to embrace him. And of course, she wants his seeds also. Once again, Rhan is looking forward to seeing the crest of Love on her lower tummy.
"Yes, Your Highness!" The man walks out in haste.
Rhan puts a finger on her chin. "The twins should be abducted somewhere in the middle of the Selection by that cunt Hero. Sadly, that bitch Goddess only shows it to those close to her or obeys her, and I have already abandoned my belief in War. Haaaaaaaa! I need to get to him soon!"
