1 Chapter 1: Birth of the King!
Chapter 1
``This child should stay with the Dragon Tribe, obviously we will be able to help him grow into the strongest creature in the world.''
``Humph! Your ignorance does not astound me, the child obviously stays with the Phoenix tribe, with our knowledge and abilities, he will become a strong and able Emperor.''
Both tribes elders reactions surprised the Dragon King and the Phoenix Queen. They. thought that the elders would want to get rid of the child or try to, their titles weren't just for show, they would die before they let something happen to their child. While the elders were fighting amongst each other and their rulers were deep into thinking about the name of their child and how they were going to raise him, all of a sudden everyone stopped and felt a large number of Magical Signals approaching them from all corners.
``Protect the King and the future Emperor!'' ``Protect the Queen and the future Emperor!''
Two cries rang out at the same time, the grand elder of each tribe knew of the importance the ruler and the child. One was a pillar of support for today while the other was an hope for an even better support for tomorrow. ``We will protect the Patriarch and the Young One with our lives.'' The cries filled with magical energy went out and reduced the surrounding mountains into ash.
`Why can't they work together like this all the time?' both the Dragon King and the Phoenix Queen thought the same thing. But their bodies were surrounding the egg of their child protecting him from any sudden attacks. But the attacks never came, elders and patriarchs of the other tribes came bearing gifts for their child. ``We are sorry to have startled you.'' The Thunder Bird King, opted to speak for the races present, both the Dragon King and Phoenix Queen hurriedly asked him to lift his head, ``Please Sir Thunder King, you are embarrassing us. Please raise your heads everyone, we were just a bit confused.'' Although there were members of their races who were equal in power to the Thunderbird King, they would still not be disrespectful to this entity. A few of the other races once got jealous of a treasure the Thunderbird race possessed, their jealousy was alright but their action of threatening the Thunderbird race was not, the Thunder King single handedly killed eight King level creatures in a single night.
Arrangements for the guests were completed, ``What might all you Sirs and Madams be here for?'' it took them a moment but there were other creatures from races like the Wumpus cat, Sphinx, Sea Serpents rarely seen out of the water, Salamander and Manticores and many others. All of them and some others were on par with the Dragon and Phoenix races. `` we would like to gift the little patriarch of the two races a little of our Heart Blood.'' Both the Dragon King and Phoenix Queen were shocked, for a creature of their level to give out Heart Blood meant giving that creature all their abilities and knowledge they had gathered over a lifetime, most of the creatures present had lived for at least a thousand years, some had gone past the Ten Thousand years limit. ``are you certain of this Sir? Might I ask what is the reason behind this?''
``well yes of course, the magical beast community has been always divided and although that has worked for us for thousands of years. Me and a few other Emperors want to change the way we live, we want to experience a different life.'' Just as Lei Wang was finishing another Emperor, Wumpus Elder, an Elder of the Wumpus Cat Race spoke up,`` we are bored as hell basically.'' Other elders present like the Nundu Beast King, Manticore King all nodded their heads in agreement. Most Elder and King level members of the different races present almost fell to the ground but they managed to stay upright after hearing the ridiculous answer of the Eldest members of their races.
``we have no reason to refuse your kind intentions and we thank all those present for their gifts and their presence.'' Dragon King agreed to letting them have their way though still shocked and a bit surprised at the reasons these Elders had presented before them. ``Oh! Before we start, here's a much smaller gift. These were some pesky wizards who had the gall to assault us on our way here.'' The Thunderbird King chucked two Wizard corpses at the egg but before they could hit the egg, they melted into two shining droplets of the deepest shade of red, the Heart Blood of Wizards. The other Elders did the same before, chucking several Wizard corpses that melted into shining droplets Heart Blood of Wizards. After this they drew Heart Blood from their own bodies, in comparison to the Heart Blood of the Wizards, the Heart Blood of the Beasts were of several colours. The Thunderbird King's blood was pure silver, with sparks flying around it while the Nundu Beast King's was pure green with smoke around it. All the Heart blood from the beasts was special and different in one way or another.
As if waiting for the blood to enter the egg, the egg started to shine with bright lights and cracks started to appear on it, there was thunder and lightning in the sky, roars of beasts rang out across the land signifying the birth of the King.
