A low growl rumbled from his throat, but he said nothing, waiting for the gods to continue. Adam, the God of Light, stepped forward, his presence almost blinding as beams of radiance seemed to pulse from his form. His voice was clear, commanding, but there was a softness to it—an echo of compassion.
Adam:[ "Listen, King of Dragons..."]
The words hung in the air, charged with the power of the heavens. The others—Solomon, Laiana, Stellar, Arthur, and Nola—stood silently behind Adam, each exuding an aura that was as diverse as their realms. Solomon, the God of Darkness, gave a slow, knowing smile, his eyes black as night, while Laiana's emerald gaze softened, her green robes flowing like the wind through the trees. Stellar's burly form glinted with the sheen of iron and stone, the heat of forges emanating from him. Arthur, the god of beasts, his horns twisted like a stag's, observed with a steady and calculated look, while Nola's mechanical gaze, glowing faintly with arcane light, seemed to study the very air around them.
Adam continued, his voice booming with quiet authority, the calm of a leader who had faced conflict many times before.
Adam:[ "We can understand the hate you bare against the people that killed your daughter but please do not bare your wrath at the whole of humanity, punish the sinners for there misdeeds."] The dragons and there king glare in animosity and rage, growling and roaring.
Dragon king spoke[" And why should I not, humans greed are that which causes them to kill each other over the petty and minimal things like the wealth they will never eat, power they will only show off for there own pride and worst of all, you kill your own people. Flesh and blood born from one, what us there to forgive."] His voice increasing in irritation.[" but she still looked to tell me stories of journeys she went the fun she had, and there killed for simple pride, so tell me why should I forgive them?"]
Adam spoke in a tone of respect [" I feel for you but that won't change the fact that there still innocent in humans, remove those that committed the sin of killing your family. Let them bare the weight of there actions on there back, shunned and deemed evil. Let it be a punishment for those who carry the hatred of the dragon king and all the dragons."]
The dragon king pondered, still in rage,["Fine Let the sinners carry my curse,"] black energy appears at the tip of his claw which is massive compared to the continent as it leaked energy into those who played a part in killing aurora. ["Those that hold my curse will loose the privilege of magic and aura ,they will never love anyone as is they do their madness of the power will kill that they love. You will be ostracized from your people and any other species in Eden, the curse will never leave until those will accept there wrong doings will be spared from my wrath."]
The Dragon king looks at the gods[" but you gods must also curse them so as to forgive you for going against my judgement. "]
The gods look at the ones who bare the dragon's curse and ready there curse on them.
Solomon's voice, like the cool whisper of a night wind, cut through the tension.
Solomon: [" Royalty that ordered the killing of the daughter of the dragon king will loose each of your senses, as that is the price of cutting the scales of a dragon."]
Adam spoke,[" If you hold ill will against anyone, your heart will tighten in excruciating pain that eternally increase along with your misdeeds."]
Laiana stepped forward, her voice soft but firm, a contrast to the intensity of the gods' words.
Laiana: ["You will bare the curse of nature, no place on earth will give food, flowers or grass, and the livestock will die."]
Stellar's booming voice, like a hammer striking an anvil, added weight to the argument.
Stellar: ["You will never hold or see a weapon forged with a heart of a murderer, and if so anyone do, will feel the pain of a spear through there heart like aurora's heart, only those who bare the sins in the heart will understand the forge"].
Arthur's deep, rumbling voice, filled with the sounds of growling beasts, followed.
Arthur:["No monster,beast or animal will ever come close, and if you kill an animal for game but not feed yourself will be hunted by there flock of the same species till they die or eat the animal raw."]
Nola, her eyes glowing with mechanical precision, finally spoke, her voice clear and unyielding.
Nola:["Those will lose there power to think and create technology if they wish to use it as to exploit or gain material wealth for there selfish gains. Forever remember that."]
The Dragon King was silent, his great form looming as he pondered the gods' words. For the first time, there was a flicker of something in his ancient eyes—was it peace or did he still hold his hate. He looked at the humans separated from those who committed the crime, feeling the same hate but he had to keep his promise.
The humans still in fear thought they were out of danger, and as powerful as dragons remained silent, even then the fear of death was still there.
Dragon King:["Listen to this humans, you have survived this moment but never forget this moment, I am always here and I will never leave, let it be edged in your memory that your life was spared."]
Adam's smile was kind, but beneath it, there was a glint of something deeper. Fear, he was close to seeing the world end and even if he wanted to stop it, even with the combined strength of the six of them, wthey would die in the end.
Adam:["Thank you, for forgiving for there doing, I'd you ever need anything that we could help you, we will never refuse to help you dragon king."]
For the time, the Dragon King slowly turned his head away, as if acknowledging the seriousness of their words. A decision, the world made it a moment of great importance, added as the month of the dragon.
The world held its breath that held it's breath in fear could sigh in relief.
