When the meeting was finished king stood up from his throne and walked in front followed by two guardians and six leaders.
The guardian walking alongside me looked toward me for a moment and then turned to look at kings back, his eyes were grey hallow in which if someone stares they would only see endless abyss. Unlike me and my predecessors who even after signing contract with king indirectly opposed him, the Guardian Samuel and his family has wholeheartedly devoted their lives to king.
He was quite troublesome to deal with; His ability could nullify all other abilities. Any ability based attack was useless against him and therefore only physical attack could be used to defeat him. But he has thoroughly covered his weakness, his physical prowess were one of the best in dragon realm.
Thinking this and following king's lead we arrived outside the castle where king's battleship of was stationed for us in which we would depart only till outside the capital. He needed a grand exit or something I guess.
Alongside the battleship I could see the remaining three leaders who were missing in the meeting standing to greet the king.
"Until my return, keep capital safe from any intruders." King spoke and three leaders nodded. Even with king's absence only an idiot would attack the capital.
There was an organization openly opposing the current king but their strength was not something to take into account. There were few Dragon monarchs, some self-righteous fools who could not bear the king's injustice.
They had approached me in the past to join their cause but I had rejected their offer, their strength was not something which would make any difference in the decisive war, they would be just used as some distraction or cannon fodder.
They were more of a terrorist organization then liberation army in the eyes of whole dragon race.
The ship we were going to embark was as huge as the palace itself hovering in the air, a blue light descended from the ship which brought us to the deck of the ship comfortably.
"Let's depart." The ship started to move at slow motion and left the castle territory. When arriving at the inner wall of capital, king transformed into his true dragon form followed by we guardians as well as leaders all transformed simultaneously.
I was looking around the castle at the time of entering as well as leaving the castle but couldn't find Eva anywhere; I guess she didn't come after all.
When the ship approached the inner wall of capital we could see all the dragon's living in the inner wall of capital on street cheering and roaring in their own true dragon form. There were many dragons shouting in loud voices which could be heard on ship's deck as well.
"Please your majesty, free us from this prison."
"Your majesty, may the ancestors blessing be with you and you succeed in your expedition."
"May the accursed bloodline of Guardian Alex vanish with this seal"
"I dare you guardian Alex, if you play any games this time, we will chase you till the end of hell."
Say that on my face you bastards.
As we proceeded to leave the capital the speed of battleship increased gradually and about half an hour later we reached our destination.
Our ship landed near a huge tower which was like a coliseum, it was surrounded by white walls and in middle of it was a huge empty space on which an otherworldly transportation array was inscribed for inter planetary travel.
They couldn't set up the teleportation array due to ever changing location of tower therefore they were using transportation array.
We entered the coliseum and there I could see the whole structure of Transportation array, it could only be described as a mess made out of millions of runes written in a sequence from which a person cannot revert his eye. Even I was not confident enough to create something like this but I didn't need to.
The operator after counting our number entered the data into array and 9 golden circles appeared in array.
We stepped into the golden circles and after everyone has taken their place, operator made some signs and the circles emitted a golden light surrounding us and the light took us away from the capital into the desolate floating piece of land in the dark space.
After few hours of travel at the speed of light looking at the stars passing by us and avoiding space comets and debris here and there we arrived at our destination.
We landed on a Grey piece of land where gravity was almost non-existing but it was not hard for us to make our stronghold on the land. When the golden light dispersed we were mate with the same transportation array symbol when we departed.
The piece of land was almost size of 50 miles in center of which stood a Huge 50 meter purple portal. All around the portal temporary tents were setup in order to analyze the portal activity. All soldiers and researchers were lined up outside the tents to greet the king.
I still wonder how my father was able to create something like this, which was active even after his death following his will.
It would be 15th time that I am going to enter the portal, after evolving into Primordial dragon there were very few things which attracted my attention in outside world but inside the portal I would always find something interesting, new challenges, new plains it served as a good training spot for me. But the thing most attracted me about tower was its door of 100th floor.
It always felt to me like other side of it was calling to me, there is something that will complete my existence but whenever I tried to approach the door, my soul would burst into pain threatening to destroy me.
While i was thinking this we arrived at the front of the portal. King looked back at all of us and without saying anything stepped inside the portal and we followed.
