Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Arthur couldn\'t take this matter lightly anymore. He frowned a little while trying to find any logic in their words. "Are they, perhaps, called mages? Or grandmasters?"

He couldn\'t think of any giant beings like him and much more powerful than those mages and grandmasters from the highest realms.

If they were the ones to kill these originals, then he had to reconsider his strategy against the dark angel grandmaster.

After all, people like that nasty mage killed such a brutal race in one moment of history.

"No, I… don\'t recall they were called like this," one of them said before others slowly nodded.

"They were known by a different name," another said and Arthur couldn\'t help but feel more puzzled.

"Do you know what they were called then?" he asked, "I wanna know your enemies."

"Why, if I may ask?" one of them asked in doubt.

"Well, if there was such a hidden race so powerful enough to cause your extinction, then I have to consider them as my enemies as well," Arthur shrugged before adding, "It\'s not for your sake, but for my survival."

His reasoning was accepted and made sense to these originals.

"I can\'t recall what they were called, but… I can tell they controlled the worlds like they were their owners," one of them suddenly said while another added:

"They can bring wind, cause thunder and lightning, and they can make land disappear and fire spread… They acted like gods, but they weren\'t…"

"If only I can remember their names… I feel I know it but for some reason I can\'t recall it!" Another said in frustration, however at this point Arthur felt great shock inside.

"Were they called, perhaps, the world\'s wills?" he slowly asked in a gratified tone and the moment he said it… the faces of those originals beamed with hatred and anger.

"Yeah, it\'s them!"

"They are a bunch of merciless folks who killed all of us for no reason!"

"They trapped our kin, enslaved our kids, and took away everything we got!"

"I want to kill them! I want to kill them all!"

"Do you know them, lord?"

More and more words of hatred came from them the moment he said that name. Arthur\'s eyes showed how shocked he was. He couldn\'t believe the seemingly harmless world\'s wills were able to do that.

\'What was it? A quest? Or greed and anger?\' Arthur couldn\'t really tell but he could at least say that they did such a massacre.

The hatred and anger he felt from these originals couldn\'t be mistaken. Their feelings were so genuine as to be fake!

"Lord… Can you promise to let us have revenge against them?"

All of sudden the eleven originals knelt and even their heads slammed heavily on the ground. Arthur slowly watched them while in his mind, only one question repeated itself there.

\'What would happen if I became the enemy with those world\'s wills? What would happen if they decided to go against me?\'

And only fear was the only answer he got. He couldn\'t believe he didn\'t doubt these world\'s wills ever before. He even met one face to face and saw how brutal and strong she was.

But he also saw how limited their powers were! The one he knew before was someone ruling over a small world in a low realm.

\'What about those ruling over the realms controlled by dark forces? What about those world\'s wills living up there in the highest realms?\'

He couldn\'t help but feel more doubt and fear towards them. He first thought all the world\'s wills were kind and tolerant.

But now… and after seeing and hearing about what happened to the originals from before… and after considering their silence towards the big dark clans up there… He couldn\'t help but feel more doubt.

If they were this good then why was there evil in this world? If they weren\'t strong enough to stop the evil themselves, and he now greatly doubted that, then why didn\'t they ask for the help from the light camp?

What was the world\'s will at his godfather\'s world doing when the world got invaded by dark forces? What did the world\'s will do when Aemie\'s world got invaded?

He suddenly started to see another face of the universe, one which wasn\'t pleasant to him at all.

To him, these world\'s wills weren\'t powerless to intervene. And the sole reason they didn\'t was for their own agenda.

They had goals and they might even consider themselves the gods, the true and sole gods of this world.

\'Was this the reason I was sent here then?\' he couldn\'t help but return to his old unanswered question. To him this was the biggest mystery of all, and the answer to it would reveal a lot of facts.

But he couldn\'t forget the fact that the world\'s wills helped him a lot in his fights. \'So I can assume there are two types of world\'s wills out there? Are there anyone from the ancient times still living here?\'

If he considered that theory, then he would have been terrified like now. He couldn\'t believe a world\'s will that took part in annihilating the ancient originals to be good natured or easy going.

\'I have to assume the worst then,\' he took in a deep breath before turning to the originals in front of him, "Do you remember the reason behind this war? Why did they start killing and not talking to you back then?"

However all he got was utter silence. It seemed their memories about that war weren\'t complete yet.

But he needed to know the answer for that! He knew they needed time to stick together the scattered and tattered pieces of memories from their past.

Like now, they first started with "I don\'t know," and ended up spilling all this beans to him.

"Take your time," Arthur said before noticing the emergence of new originals, "I have to be busy for a while anyway. Hopefully some will go berserk and defy me, hehehe."

However when other originals started to emerge, those eleven from before knelt again in unison. "Please, merciful lord, let our brothers and sisters live."

They all said in one voice while the scene of them kneeling to him made him speechless. He moved his eyes between this group of eleven originals and the newly born originals counting up to thirty or slightly more.

"Sigh, why are you acting in this way?" he couldn\'t help but shift his eyes to another direction, "go, if you fail to convince them to follow me with undivided loyalty, I will kill those disobeying me… That\'s my promise."
