I can't move. What is this? Even with all my strength I can't. "What happened here?" Eight was the first to arrive. "Are you okay dra-gon?" Eight Asked me. I could not move any part of my body so I did not answer him. He must have looked around because the next thing I heard was. "Master." Eight shouted as soon as he saw him. He then joined the Blood Origin and prostrated himself before The Hydra. The rest of The Cream who could move joined up with Eight. Without a word to each other, they took the same posture and prostrated themselves in a perfect line. I'm confused. Was this Hydra a pet or the master? I guess now is not the time to think about that. If I am going to die I might as well go all out. Activation of magic did not require me to move my body parts just a will. And so that is what I did. I used every powerful attack I could think of targeting the head that was closest to me. From dark void to all the fire attacks. I used all of them in a span of five seconds.
[That will not be enough.]
[The Hydra has a high magic resistance.]
What? If only I knew I could have decked it when I had the chance. Flown with a giant boulder and then thrown it at high speeds even. So that was why it did not feel threatened earlier. Grrrrr. Why is it growling at me? Attack if you want to you four headed bastard. "Young one. Wake the others." The Hydra roared. "At once master." The Blood Origin said. "Take this one. He might prove useful." The Hydra said. A force then took me closer to The Blood Origin. "Follow me sir Chrono." The Blood Origin said as he got up. Follow you? Why? Suddenly, the forces all over my body preventing movement dissipated. I could move my body. I was thinking of running away but before I did, The Blood Origin teleported both of us out of there. We were now inside an office lounge. "Hey. What does it mean that you are taking me with you?" I asked. He did not answer instead, he continued looking through his office. Is he ignoring me? Fine then, I don't need to be here anyway. I crouched and was ready to take off. I was going to ram through the building. "Hey stop. Don't do that." Origin said. "So you have not lost your mouth I see?" I answered with a smile. I covered my body with Orin and leaped up the air. A giant hole was observed at the centre of a castle. So this is where he took me.
My first priority was to report back to Zora what had happened. I could see in the horizon the giant tree that once acted as a landmark for our journey here. I quickly flew towards it and after inspecting the area around it, I was certain which way I needed to go. It was evening at this time and I landed at the center of the settlement without slowing down. This created a large crater and a small crowd was attracted near it. "Where is Zora?" I asked in a frantic state. The chaos probably attracted him there because in a few seconds he was present. "Chrono. What is going on?" he asked. I walked up to him and led him to his office. He was very confused. "We have a very big problem the…" "Are they attacking?" Zari who was close by interrupted me. "No. NO. listen to me. The vampires have awakened a mythical creature. It has four heads and was sleeping near or inside the giant lake. They are calling it the true king of the continent. Its name is The Hy..." "Hydra!" Zora shouted in shock. I nodded in agreement. Zora held his head with both his arms. "What is that?" Zari asked. "Do you know the story of long ago where all the dragon species united to fight a wicked god?" Zora asked. "Yes. The story we were told when young about a wicked god that slaughtered almost all our soldiers." Zari answered. "Yes, The wicked god who could not die even after the unrelenting attacks was The Hydra." Zora answered. Zari stood motionless with her mouth wide open. "That is true. I have attacked it with all my strength. Every magic I could think of. It did not even bother defending itself. It was as if it was mocking me." I added. "You attacked it? How did you escape?" Zora shouted. I explained to him what happened till this point. "It's generals. The vampires are going to wake the generals. This is very bad." Zora was now pacing back and forth while covering his face with both of his hands. "Generals?" I asked. "Yes. The Hydra does not attack alone. It has three Generals, A giant snake that lives deep in the sea that has power over death itself. A Titan who sleeps with his army of thousands. A giant spider that lays millions of eggs at a time. What we are facing is an existential threat to life." Zora answered. "Can we stop them?" Zari asked. I was also interested in the answer. Zora laughed like a mad man. This was the first time I had seen Zora act like this. "In the battle from the story. There were six species of dragons living independently. Each species contributed 1000 soldiers to face the Wicked God. But even after all that, they were all defeated and moved to the Island of Despair. You see dragons were also originally from the Yaran continent as well. " Zora answered. "6000 dragon soldiers and they lost? We have no hope." I said.
A knock was heard on the door. I was nearest to the door so I ushered the guest in. "I heard you were back Sir Chrono. How was the intelligence gathering?" Mudan asked. He must have sensed something was wrong because his next question was, "What happened? Are those bastards attacking?" We filled him on the information as best we could. "Hydra? I have never heard the term. Would you mind if I send for someone?" He asked. We shook our heads. A moment later, a very old fae came to the office. He was introduced as the records keeper among the fae species. I explained to him what I had seen and what occurred. I could see blood draining from his face. "That Evil Deity is back? Mudan, my nephew we have to evacuate immediately." He shouted. He then explained that from the fae records, the giant spider was in charge of information gathering and choosing what targets would be destroyed by the two generals. It was the most dangerous of all the three generals because it did not come out of its den. Instead, it sent out its minions all over the planet. The Hydra, Giant Snake and Titan all had the ability to breathe under water as the legends go. This meant that no continent was safe. How was it defeated the last time? The answer is our records do not know. The events took place almost twenty five millennia ago. "What should we do? Staying here is useless." I said. This put the room in a very quiet and tense state for a few minutes. "We should go back to my brother. We shall then ask for a summit among the leaders of all species. Maybe they have some information we are lacking. Mudan, notify the leaders in Yaran Continent what has happened here." Zora said. "Chrono. You should go to the human kings and explain to them what has happened here." Zora added.
I left immediately to the Kingdom of Capel to meet father. It was now at night but I did not let that stop me and flew for a few minutes to outside the castle gate. "Who are you? Identify yourself." A soldier shouted while pointing a spear at me. "I am The White Eagle. I am here to see his majesty." I answered. The soldier relaxed his posture, bowed and went inside to look for somebody. I anxiously waited outside walking back and forth. This cannot wait till tomorrow. We have to get a working plan as soon as possible. I waited for a while but nobody was coming. I sat near the gate and was lost in thought. How do I proceed? Do we evacuate? Evacuate where? A few moments later I heard a voice. "Chrono. I know that he is your father but this does not mean you can disturb him at will. He already has a family and my son is the next prince. Please leave and never bother us again." The queen said. I was bewildered by that statement. That soon turned to anger. Does she think I care about the throne? This was the moron responsible for mother losing the family business. My aunt was almost executed because of her stupid schemes. I was now furious and tired. "Do you know that your schemes almost executed my aunt? Or that we lost our business because of your schemes? I do not have patience right now. If you try to hinder me once more, I will execute you here and now." I said with an emotionless face. We were alone at the gate. She hurriedly run away. A short moment later, she came back with father.
