The dragon king back to his place of rest saddened by the loss of his daughter like figure remained quiet until the Black Dragon appeared.
Black dragon["My King, I have come to ask for a favor from you from all of my brother and your children."] Showing respect and dignity.
Dragon king["What you wish for my child?"] As he looks at him with same compassion he gave aurora.
Black dragon["We ask you to give us names as to remember our kin for eternity. "] No hesitation in his voice or posture on his Dragon body.
Dragon King [" Fine then I will name you all, but first, the body of Aurora please my child."] As he extended one claw to the Black Dragon.
The Black Dragon flew and came back carrying aurora's body and placing it on the King's claw. Energy surged around her body slowly turning into a miniature blue star as it flew at the beginning of his head. He thought to himself[" May I remember you my child for the stories you told. "]
Dragon King then spoke["Well then call of them and I will name you all."] The naming of the others done and separated he remained there.
He stared out into the endless expanse of the universe, where the horizon blurred into a wierd barrier, and the stars seemed to bounce with quiet indifference.
Suddenly as there was no one else around, yet a sense of presence filled around him—a feeling, like a whisper, brushing the edges of reality itself. As something breaks through the barrier.
From the shadows of the barrier, a figure emerged, pale and translucent, draped in a cloak of shifting darkness. The figure had no shape, no clear form, but its presence was unmistakable. It was the very essence of death itself had taken corporeal form.
The Dragon King turned his gaze toward the figure without flinching. His eyes, burning like embers, met the empty void of the being's presence.
Dragon King spoke ["You who broke through, bare the same feeling of the father yet different. Who might you be stranger from beyond the barrier.?"]
The figure didn't speak at first. Its presence seemed to absorb the surrounding energyand space, and the dragon's presence dropped perceptibly, as if the very concept of death itself had entered the world. When it did finally speak, its voice was not a sound, but a sensation—coll, chill, and call like a being in his teens.
["You can call me the reaper, I serve death and I came here with a word from higher management."]
The Dragon King surprised by the tone of the reaper, he felt chill like the everyday being youcan talk to.
The dragon king spoke["Well then reaper before you speak my I ask how do you do your duties, as I observe I never see you at all when you do your work."] Even with the power of the creator he never seen or felt him till now.
Reaper spoke joyfully as if to narrate a story,["Well because you hold the weakest authority, authority of creation. "] There was a puzzled face on the dragon king and spoke[" Weakest authority, please elaborate reaper."]
["Sure my scaled friend."] As he started to explain.["Authority are abilities that basically make a person a minor god, the more some gods have they increase in rank. Authority is formed by the story of the being, like us with the highest ranking authority guardians of the dead allowing us to basically go were our jobs takes us. It has three ranks low ,mid and high tier. So the one given to you was done by the guide you call father."]
As he listened to the reaper he was dumbfounded with the information,[" Wait my father is a guide, what's a guide? Where is he?"]
[That I can't tell you, a minor god with one authority doesn't have the rights yet."] Reaper saying it casually.
The Dragon King stood tall, his wings casting long shadows across the universe.
["Then how do I earn those rights then."]
Death remained silent for a moment, as if considering the weight of the Dragon King's words. The air around them thickened, as though the very concept of time was holding its thoughts together.
Reaper spoke ["You only have two ways, first earn more authority but without any way of earning them you have the other way left."]
Dragon King speaking fast[" What way?"] Looking at him with desperation.
["Then make your own authority Dragon King."] Reaper said with look of hope and casual manner.
The Dragon King tilted his head, his gaze sharpening as he regarded the reaper before him. There was an edge of confusion now in his voice, though it was laced with defiance.
["And how do I do that reaper? "] with the true manner of a king and as an observer. Reaper spoke,[" Understand yourself, like a journey or adventure like your daughter aurora did."]
Suddenly the dragon king went fierce with anger ready to fight when the reaper spoke his daughter's name.
["And how do you know her name reaper."] Looking fiercely. Reaper["Anyone dies there soul is taken to a place, can't say cause you know, low authority. And that's why an here, she sent a message."]
The Dragon King's eyes gleamed with a mixture of sudden joy and confusion.
["And what did she say?"] As he was happy. Reaper said["Well she said that she taking the trials and she is thankful and happy for you. Chearing you on from her side."]
Now the king had a valid reason to earn authority, to go higher,["Thankyou reaper, and what's the trials."]
Reaper,["Sorry low authority maybe next time dragon king"] as he heads to the barrier ["Hope you earn your authority to meet each other."]
The Dragon King's smirk faded just slightly, a flicker of unease running through him, but it was quickly masked by a quiet confidence.
["I guess I will have to use the universe as my guide then."] Thinking to himself as he uses the authority to try and transfer his body and soul to a suitable host to any planet.["I remember her talking about rebirth that happened to someone, why not me.] As he slowly disappears knowing the only ones that can find him are his children even in another body, the reaper from the edge watching having not left yet.
["Defying death, rebirth and reincarnation just to meet her, that's a level of determination I've never seen..."] Suddenly thought popped in his head.[" Shot, forgot to explain something."] He shrugged off as he leaves[" He will find about later I'm not gonna spoil everything."]
He leaves as the Dragon king accomplished the thing he wished for.
["Hope, to GO BEYOND THE BOUNDARY."]
