A talon shook me awake as I groaned," I don't wanna get up."
I heard two sounds of laughter. First, I heard Shyri say," He hates getting up."
A familiar voice chuckled," Oh, I know; after all, he is my little brother."
Opening my eyes, I looked up to see both Shyri and my older sister Allit as she smiled down at me, though with my emotion-sensing, I could tell she was angry. Forcing myself up, I groaned," Meeting time, I assume?"
Allit growled," You and I are going to talk later."
Shrugging helplessly," No promises."
Feeling at full strength once again, I breathed outwards," Let us hurry up and go."
Shyri teased," Why so you can go back to sleep?"
I admitted," Yes, and train, we have a battle in five days."
I was about to jump into the air as I looked at Allit," Yes, we will talk, Allit. That much I can promise you."
Allit nodded in consent," Very well, let us go."
She jumped into the air first as Shyri, and I followed her; I marveled at how much it had grown over the past two and a half years I was at W.D.D.C."
I heard surprised gasps and murmurs while there were also some growls and hisses. We were weaving through the tunnels while we made our way to the doors. Landing at the entrance, we walked into the room as I snorted, seeing the entire council here. I noticed my old friends, along with my newer friends, all standing there. Councilmember Neti growled," Welcome back, Xyverinos."
I raised a brow," Shut up. Now, what do you want from me?"
She was growing angry as I narrowed my eyes while Rykyr said," Xyverinos. I just wanted to confirm with you. Judging by your appearance. You reached equipollence; is that true."
I answered," Yes, it is."
Slyrak growled," I told you so. But no, you idiots didn't listen to me."
I watched as Xisu, standing by his sister, Shirlan, spoke up," Xyv-"
Shirlan interrupted," Enough, Xisu, Xyverinos; who is she behind you?"
I sighed," This is Shyri, my girlfriend."
Elder Storm, who already knew, shook her head wit an amused smile and said," I wonder how that happened?"
Glaring at the older creature, I growled," Now is not the time."
Neti hissed," We still have to punish him for letting him get captured, don't we!"
Rocketing off the spot I was on, a sonic boom resulted from the fast shot-off. I knocked into her as I pinned her down and held one of my new perfectly curved wing feathers to her throat," Neti, shut up, or I will remove your throat from your body. I am not the same hatchling I used to be two and a half years ago."
She was deathly pale as I heard a bark of laughter from my old caretaker, Krodi," I can vouch for him, Councilmember Neti; he is an equipollence now and arguably the strongest one. In this entire land."
Chuckling hollowly," That is where you are wrong. We can't keep infighting with the final battle coming up quickly."
Walking back over to my spot, I glared at the councilmembers who were fools," Now, what did you want with me? The last time I was in here, you guys were idiots. The only sensible ones in here would be Rykyr, Shirlan, and Elder Storm, even if she tried to stop me."
Grinrag protested," What about me?!"
I snorted," You out of the entire council, I distrust you the most. Now, can we get on with this meeting?"
Elder Storm nodded," Yes, can you first introduce us to your friends."
Shrugging, I replied," Not a problem, alright. First up is Spirit half, water dragon, and angelic wyvern. Cyvin half fire dragon and angelic wyvern. Seldra half wind wyvern and angelic dragon. Enihieh is an earth dragon and angelic wyvern. Typhoon half lightning and half angelic wyvern. The humans are Thomas, an old friend of mine. Emily, our caretaker, and the man beside her is her brother, the former general of W.D.D.C."
Graveonth chuckled and looked at me," You going to tell us how you and she got together."
Shyri giggled slightly," Sorry, Graveonth, right, but I think he already told you maybe some other time?"
Elder Storm smiled," Well, with that out of the way, shall we begin with the actual part of the meeting? Xyverinos, do you mind releasing your aura or entering your equipollence?"
"Um, the question is, do you want this entire cavern to come collapsing down on us," I inquired," If not, well, I say not to do either. I can release a minuscule amount of my aura."
Rykyr gulped," Are you that powerful now?"
Without a word, I nodded my consent as Emily said," According to him, he is many times stronger than Inferno of the Void Flames once was."
Slyrak gasped in shock," You are stronger than father!"
I looked at my friend," Yes, just letting you know... In my equipollence, I may have killed them."
He shrugged," Not your fault, and in all honesty, reaching your equipollence, there was bound to be deaths. I was never close to my older sister or my mother's friends."
Nodding in understanding as I had a mischievous smirk," Alright, you guys still want to feel my aura? Or roughly five percent of it?"
Shyri and everyone else stepped back as a golden cloak surrounded me; an overwhelming pressure began to break the ground. The air was heavy with power as I dropped the energy after ten seconds.
I could sense the fear and awe from everyone in here. I sighed," That is not much of my power, by the way."
Looking at Spirit, I spoke in his head," Should I tell them now?"
He gave a distinct nod as I continued," Alright, I have a warning for all of you. To keep it simple, the older brother of Unla, the latter whom I killed three years ago, will wage war at this place. The war will be coming soon."
Neti shrieked," How would you know?!"
Narrowing my eyes at what she was implying, I had enough of her; a light spear formed behind me instantly. The next, it pierced her throat, embedding her in her chair. She was dead before she even realized what happened.
Her blood dripped down the spear as I growled," Anyone else wants to imply I am the traitor?"
Hasty shakes of all the council member's heads or those I know dislike me.
I snarled," That is what I thought. Know for how I know it is known as future sight. The following warning is that the king of the demonic wyverns and dragons will be surfacing and that the final battle will be in about half a year. In both the battles, I will take point. I will fight Requiem one on one, and I will also fight Unnin myself. You will fight the armies of darkness. Yes, I know there will be armies because neither is stupid."
Elder Storm growled," But-"
Interrupting," You guys would only get in my way; none of you are even close to my power. Let me explain the reaches of my power now; I could obliterate this entire world. None of you realizes that Unnin can do the same; if we were to join forces, we could create a new world entirely. We each represent the essential elements: light, fire, wind, lightning, and the sun. He represents earth, water, darkness, and the moon."
I breathed outwards,' The thing is, I don't want to fight him; I want to make a world of peace. Unnin is the strongest creature on this planet. No one can defeat him quickly; I want him and I to be the symbols of peace and end this long war between our species.'
Drawn out of my thoughts,Shyri nudged me," What's wrong, love?"
Shaking my head, I sighed," No worries, just a thought."
She growled," I know you are lying."
Dead serious on my reply," No, I am not actually. Well, let us go. I want to go back to sleep before I throw myself through training and sparring tomorrow."
