Death and Love

The ground shook as several massive dragons talked. " brothers i have gathered you here today for a good reason do not fret, Dragar spoke". a loud voice rang out " This better be good Dragar, i didn't fly across the empire for nothing". sitting next to Dragar was his younger brother Dracon who was furious at Akkan for speaking to the Emperor in such a manner. Dragar motioned to his brother to calm himself and Dracon leaned back and was quiet. Between the two dragons was Dagorn who asked " i too have rushed here in a hurry and i have not been told anything" he said annoyed. " ENOUGH" Dragar spoke in anger " i will call you when i please and you will come without question UNDERSTOOD"! The two dragons who were just speaking arrogantly both lowered their head and spoke in unison " Understood emperor, we are sorry". The three were all very powerful but Dragar was a Red titan an ancient dragon rivaled only by the great planetary dragons of Xar. Dragar was absolutely massive, standing just a few feet smaller then Mt. Everest. His scales were a dark red that almost looked like layers of blood had disintegrated the moment they fell onto him causing his scales to reek of death. He looks similar to Death wing from world of Warcraft except for his dark red scales. Red Titans were not usually red but a dark red, a kinda black color so dark it was very hard to tell the difference between it and black. Titans were named for their flames, powerful, beautiful red shiny bright flames that would illuminate the surrounding's for hundreds of miles. The flames were absolutely devastating when used against other dragons, when in contact with skin the fire would envelope the victim roasting them alive with the insane heat of pure magma. The terrifying Aura Dragar gave off when he spoke penetrated deep withing the hearts of the dragons. However these weren't any ordinary dragons but kings, Akkan King of the fire drakes and Dagorn king of the fire dragons. They are both very powerful beings of incredibly size but are still ants compared to Dragar's power. The blood of Red titans was a very powerful symbol, the symbol of royalty anyone who had that special blood in their veins was considered royalty. this caused the emperor to create special laws to prohibit a titan from mating with other species in order to keep the royal bloodline to titans only.

Dragar spoke once more " listen carefully brothers for we are going to war". Dragar spoke a few words and the hearts of the two kings lit up with excitement, it was the first time the king spoke to them about going to war in a very long time. " Our target is the port city of Torgoth to the south west of Xar" Dragar said with a grin. Akkan couldn't hold in his excitement and had a smile across his face, he was holding in his laughs as he thought about scorching the lush lands or Xar. Akkan was tired of his boring lands of never ending barren wastelands and volcanoes as far as the eye could see. He lived in the volcanic wasteland of Dracar a brother continent to Xar except for the odd fact that Dracar was in the shape of a Fire drake. Akkan's mouth began to water as he thought of all the Delicious animals and dragons that live in Xar. Akkan wasn't the only one excited, beside him was Dagorn who was equally excited as he sung a sweet song to himself. " I am Fire, I am Death, Xar oh Xar Face my Wrath". Dragar could see the excited faces of his subordinates and smiled, he let out a deep laugh that shook the ground, he too was excited.

Dragar spoke once more " Brothers based on the information brought to us by the serpent king Uryte, The lands around Torgoth are experiencing a severe drought which has weakened them greatly" Dragar smiled. " we will invade with a force of Five Hundred Thousand strong, The goal of this force is to slaughter the inhabitants of torgoth and the surrounding lands". " After the lands have been scorched black with the blood of their kind the main force led by you two will set up a Fortress in the ruins of Torgoth. " My younger brother Dracon will lead the smaller attack force himself in order to prove his leading capabilities"! Dracon was standing beside his brother smiling gleefully, he was happy so happy that he couldn't wait to leave for Xar. After the meeting had concluded Akkan, Dagorn, and Dracon set off south to Talon fortress. Talon fortress was an impenetrable Fortress on one of Dracar's claws earning its name Talon.

Several years passed by and soon Dragar had assembled an army of 17.6 million dragons. Almost the entire population was conscripted into the army to fuel the emperors war desires. On an Early spring morning on the year 17987 AD of the third Era Dracon assembled his forces and gave a speech " My brothers today is a momentous occasion, today we will begin our invasion of Xar. those Worms will be slaughtered by our Mighty Force. We will Fly to Torgoth and burn it to the ground, leave nothing alive destroy everything in your path. By the end of the year the Draco Empire will be on its knees begging us for mercy and we have no mercy to spare. TAKE OFF MY BROTHERS WE WILL TAKE TORGOTH AND MAKE THE EMPEROR PROUD!!!"

The two Continent's have been at odds for thousands of years, constant wars have been fought and many have died. This is a sad thing but is needed to keep the population in check. Dragons are massive creatures as such they eat an enormous amount of food. If it weren't for the wars that killed off millions the planet would have succumb to overpopulation and many would starve, some might even resort to cannibalism. the two are the Red Titans that rule The barren flame empire on Dracar, and the Planetary Dragons of the Draco Empire on Xar. Xar is slightly larger than Dracar and is in the shape of a tree, some dragons refer to it as the world tree. The planet named Xelna is similar in shape to earth, two continents and two oceans Ner and Xer. In order for Dracon to get to torgoth he must fly over Ner led by The Serpent King Uyrte.

On the other side of the planet inside the Holy mountain of Karna just north of Torgoth lay Tiberius Son of the Emperor. Prince Tiberius is a young adult only half the size of his father Tiberium an Elder Dragon. Tiberius was Roughly 2400 years old and was considered young compared to his 4000 year old father. His uncle Duke Tandar, the Kings older brother who was too old for the throne Lived a little further north in the Tashar Mountains. Tandar was once king but suffered a wound in battle against another powerful Red titan, He would have died if his younger brother had't saved him. These three are another royal class of dragons known as Planetary Dragons, although few in number are the most powerful dragon on Xelna. Tiberius is a White dragon with some green spots and stripes on his body, there are also many Diamonds that make up his scales and give him a nice shine. Unlike their counterpart Red titans the planetary dragons liked to look nice and would tend to wash regularly.

Tiberius was sleeping silently in his cave after he had just enjoyed a nice Rock salamander lightly roasted and seasoned with salt. He was dreaming of a beautiful pair of black wings that stole his heart from him whenever he looked towards them. He also dream't of great sorrow and death that forced him awake. The mountain shook once and then again until it was on the scale of an earthquake rocking the land. Tiberius still dizzy and sleepy tumbled out of the cave to see whats happening. In an instant the smell of blood filled his nostrils and woke him up completely. He looked all around in a haze trying to track the smell when in the corner of his eye he spotted a large cloud of smoke rising from Torgoth. Tiberius Let out a Ear deafening Roar in order to attract the attention of the other dragons living around his mountain. he continued to roar for about thirty minutes and had gathered about about 1200 dragons including a beautiful Black dragon Named Helena who also happened to be the queen of the Black Dragons. Tiberius regained his senses and began on his flight towards Torgoth to see what was happening there and to save his people if needed.

An hour later he arrived to a gruesome scene, the City lie in ashes and mutilated dragons lied everywhere the eye could see, the ground scorched black the river red with blood. Withing the fire was a massive figure bigger than Tiberius was, The Aura of the beast slammed down onto Tiberius filling him with fear. Tiberius had realized too late that he was looking at a fully grown Red Titan when a flame came from the titan. A dark red flame shot towards Tiberius who was completely unprepared for the attack quickly hunkered and raised his arms to block the attack. The flames landed onto his scales melting the large diamonds that were scattered along his arms. Tiberius roared in pain as he was Literally being melted by the flames, as soon as the flames stopped Tiberius who was severely injured fell to his knees. In that moment the dragons behind the flames shot forth, Thousands of dragons began to rip apart the small army leaving no survivors behind, the force was annihilated. Tiberius was pushed to the edge of the cliffs with Helena by his side, Tiberius looked up towards Dracon And felt terror as he saw another burst of flames coming towards him. Tiberius knew he was going to die and shouted " i will be avenged a Thousand times you Wretched wo-. before he could finish his sentence he felt push to the side of him, Helena had pushed Tiberius off the cliff dodging the deadly attack.

Dracon looked over the edge into the deep waters and saw no movement so he though the dragon had drowned as there was no way he could swim with his injuries. As he looked back he saw a White flame fly directly towards him, the moment he saw it was too late the flame was in front of his face. He tried to dodge to the left but was too slow and his entire right arm was caught in the flames. He roared out in excruciating pain as his arm was burnt into ash completely disintegrated. Dracon looked off into the distance and in between to large mountains was Duke Tandar who Lived close by heard his Nephews Screams and came running. He was about 50 miles away from Dracon but the way he moved and his speed he was standing in front of Dracon in minutes. Tandar once again let forth a breath of flames that hit Dracon who was already on the verge of death directly in the face. Dracon Screamed in agony as his face was obliterated by the flames, the fire had pierced through his skull and came out his back punching a hole directly through Dracon killing him Instantly.
