silence.
the deafening decorum that pervaded the whole room was not the result of magic or skills, but a collective effort of everyone in attendance.
palpable was the reverence in their eyes, and their stiff bodies remained still out of respect- and also fear. as long as the great old dragon lord was present, any disrespect or blunder on the part of any dragon would easily be noticed by him.
and it would ultimately lead to death.
as such, everyone held their breaths as they awaited the descent of their invincible ruler.
~shuuu~
a small hissing sound echoed from the overhead vessel as the shaft opened and a lone figure rose from it, generating an aura that could be considered unmatched.
he had ebony dark skin, with crimson hair that danced magnificently behind him. he was garbed in his emperor robe, an attire that featured a black and gold regalia-with a floating crown made of diamonds.
polished obsidian shoes covered his legs and he also wore gloves of the same material, having jewels—all of which were enchanted-adorning every facet of his body. his six wings flapped as he descended in his humanoid form, appearing more like a perverse angel than a dragon- save for his multiple horns that decorated his head.
he had nine of them-twisted and curved-and they all gleamed with malevolence.
his eyes warbled with multiple colors, and while his skin remained dark, he seemed to be glowing brightly—an unreal existence that even the strongest dragons cowered before. with a charming face, unmatched by any dragon present, he appeared to be in the prime of his life.
even though he was the oldest, most powerful one around.
"haaa..." silently exhaling, smoking steam escaped his lips and nostrils.
he carried his eyes around, looking at his still subordinates; including the dragon lords, whose submissive bows signified their piety.
all nine of them—of course, including the great old dragon lord, who had taken his place at the forefront of his colleagues were in perfect subservience to his might. out of the nine lords, there were certainly new faces.
after all, three previous members of the council had been eliminated by the great old dragon. "... what a wonderful day."
those were the first words of the dragon emperor as he finally descended.
despite landing, his feet did not touch the ground. instead, it remained inches away from the surface and stayed afloat. when he moved, neither of his feet moved. it simply appeared like he was being pulled towards his target destination.
this was how he moved until he was right in front of the kneeling lords.
"rise."
instantly, they rose to their feet.
"you may lift your gaze." his glistening lips commanded.
air like a terrifying fortress, it became something... glorious.
a floating throne.
emperor k'arba'diel rose to the gigantic throne prepared for him and took his seat at its
epicenter.
once again... he appeared utterly majestic.
"... let the exhibition begin!"
********
the cheering noise of the audience, and the commotion caused by the shifting squad members in the hallway was enough to tell adonis that the dragon exhibition was already
underway.
he slowly rose from the corner that he sat in within the lounge, his vip card still in his grasp. 'looks like it's in full swing now...' a small smile formed on his face.
rey and lucielle were nowhere to be seen, so he couldn't talk to them for the last time before embarking on his most important mission.
adonis didn't feel bad, though.
'i'll see them soon enough.' he thought to himself as he left the entire building and felt his
smile growing bigger and bigger.
with everyone distracted by the competition, he now had the perfect window of opportunity.
-the chance to regress once again.
