Chapter 47 - Time Trapped

"HAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA What an aura unrefined but filled with overwhelming power even pushing against the broken laws within this broken prison of mine Maybe you Heros will finally manage to kill me The Last Dragon, Manipulator of Time, Father of Invention, and The One who granted fire to mortals who betrayed me creating the Cursed Death Blade from necromancy accidently cursing me to live this wretched broken existence." He smiled seeming to seek release through his death causing me to feel slight rage causing my aura to change to slight resentment causing his body to slowly start to be crushed his golden scales cracking with the slightest pressure I immediately pulled back the aura.

The dragon with his golden eyes looked at me truly and I allowed him to look within me seeing most of what I am, but he couldn't' see my heart nor what I have done. "You are not human but you still came here to this prison that even gods can't break but your aura it is of extremes like it encompasses Three Major Sins one of them is Surely Wrath the other maybe Envy, Greed, or Sloth it can't be Pride or Gluttony But you also encompass The Virtue Fortitude, Faith, Hope, and Charity this should be impossible no one could have Both Virtues and Sins especially not one that counteract each other maybe you are ascending but you are here where ascension is impossible. What are you? I rule over time, yet I can't see your memories you choose what to show me."

"Wait I can see the Crown of resentment but its shifting like this future is uncertain how can you Manipulate your fate even I can barely break fate but it had the consequence of being here forever wait the gods they are punishing you for healing the trials wounds on Death who got them for being impartial and granting every soul redemption even the worst but he took them to change themselves showing them what they could have had before reincarnating them like only the pure should be. Death said to me 'All life is equal if there was no sin there would be no Virtue or purity. Why do you think the gods don't abolish sin.' " The dragon looked me in the eye and simply nodded and proceeded to set his head down and fall asleep in the void.

I began the process of reforming the laws that make each world from scratch using the power of virtues and sins in a yin yang way flowing in a cycle I began the process of creation which was honestly fun but the rage I felt when using the wrath sin was if I had gone back in time to when my parents first died tears came to my eyes and it became hard to control myself so I avoided my Wrath and instead used everything else to create a small imperfect world at which time the dragon woke up looked at my world let out a laugh and said "I'll protect time for this world so it doesn't decay and we can talk more freely with one another because I would like to get to know you and I hope you think the same about me." The dragons from then became as small as me but still quadrupedal with wings that seemed to flow on the currents of time.

Life started to flourish on the planet I had created with its small false sun time seeming to be infinitely broken here but also perfect in its brokenness after being 'fixed' by the dragon. "So, what's your name Last Dragon? or would you like to remain forgotten to every world if not I would like to hear your story start to finish."

The dragon smiled and began to recount his journey which was quite long so I shall only put an abridged version here.

---------------------------------------------------------------

I awoke alone as most dragons do within a cave, but I felt a weird sensation like something was with me so I searched within myself for several years stopping every now and then to eat and then I found the essence of time within my soul guiding me on how to use time magic how to accelerate the movement of time at great cost causing me pain within the mind but my curiosity would not me stop with mere decay and reversal powers I begun to experiment more and more. I then thought about using my forest for widescale time magic at this time being 327 years old I cast a time mutator causing time to distort and the creatures within began to mutate causing them to be able to slip through time causing trouble later on because usually they traveled forward in time.

I moved nests after removing every trace of my magic and the time creatures as I now call them. Then I began to experiment on those humans who would come and try to kill me realizing that humans had an affinity to nearly every magic except time and death except a few very rare outliers when I realized humans had already begun to hunt my kind so many eons ago back when I was 400 now being 28,936 years old barely anything to a time dragon but 6 times the lifespan of a normal dragon at most. I then tried time travel magic to go back in the past, but I only went back 400 years barely anything, so I went into my research even more trying to find a way to save my species coming across many struggles when the 6 "Heros" broke into my home laughing saying I was the last of dragon kind and they would have so much fun killing me with my own children's bones.

They then broke through every trap I had made each person in their group countering one thing I had done to prepare my fortress they each had their roles one could reverse my time magic easily or at least my lesser time magic I never had really focused on offensive magic. One was constantly harassing me from the shadows they had even hidden their fate with their power unlike the others. The tanky one had a shield made of dragon scales of my children negating most time effects. The mage using black soul magic to seal me due to not being able to kill using the corpses of every child I had 121 were killed by them. The children I took care of for years before letting them wander their journeys I the Last Dragon Cried for my children. My name is Contristatus Desperans Tristitiam Aeternam for my loss changed me eternally my original name shall not be known and won't change until I become Nox Aeternam when they are gone forever.
