[b][u]Empress of Fire[/u][/b] [b]Chapter Three - Ragnarok[/b] [spoiler]Open to Cthulhu and Splash.[/spoiler] [url=https://youtu.be/fLEXncoTNN0]Darkeater Midir (Phase 1)[/url] The reign of lions, come to a halt, The siege of freedom, stopped at a fault, For in the kingdom of Khaom, as the false ran amok, The true dragons rise, amongst great Ragnarok.. -[b]Foretelling of "Ragnarok", twenty-four years before this day.[/b] [b]Khaom, 3:45 PM[/b] "[i]Ragnarok![/i]" [i]The ancient bells of Khaom, now relieved of their shells of dust and cobwebs, had fallen silent, without another booming ring. The mighty war horns of the warmongering city had been cut short. Only the screams of the false had pierced the skies of Khaom, amongst the crumbling of once standstill structures and the rise of a mighty dragon from beneath.[/i] [i]Ragnarok's wingspan stretched far and wide, casting a blackened shadow down upon the city's southern half as it rose, before a short moment, where it's obsidian mass would block the sun out entirely. The rays of sunlight would return as the creature would them fly back down, fluttering it's now stretched, leathery wings as it would streak downwards, it's massive tail fluttering behind it's being like a ginormous chain of flesh and darkened scales. A deep gurgling within the creature's throat broke the eerie silence, before flame - a deep, almost blackened flame, with traces of the red heat of fire yet within - would reveal itself through the creature's neck, as Ragnarok glided down towards the city. Towards the screams of those who feared it's unrelenting wrath.[/i] [i]Finally, it would open it's maw and release a blazing shower of abyss black fire, eating away at the buildings that were caught in it's wrath, devouring the lives and bodies of the civilians and soldiers that had attempted to flee. Ragnarok would rise up, releasing a bellowing roar that almost sounded as if it was.. laughing. Laughing, amongst the screams of the dying. A terrible creature, truly.[/i] "What.. is that thing?" [i]Rue murmured, upon her knees as her eyes widened at such a creature. She looked down at the ground, thinking, before her gaze would return to Traci then.[/i] "Time. I need time. I need a distraction. L-Liz. You can.. you can handle a ballista. Right?" [i]Meanwhile, Charla hung onto Fabio's legs as the two flew throughout the eerie city, with the elven woman's eyes glittering at the sight of the black flame. In the distance, Fabio could see a feeble attempt - archers, rows of archers, planning to fire upon Ragnarok. Catapults and trebuchets had begun to be revealed, stationed upon the towering stone walls of Khaom's city.[/i] [i]It was true chaos, to say the least.[/i]

  • [i]Ragnarok's head continued to approach, until it was only a few feet away from Traci. It had now clambered onto her portion of the wall, it's hulking being towering over her own figure, at a height of several stories tall. Decently large, really.[/i] [i]It sniffed and studied her, almost as if recognizing Traci, and as it almost "spoke" with a surprisingly soft gurgle, it would soon turn to horror.[/i] [i]Ragnarok suddenly cried out in agony as it reared away from Traci, a *thunk!* ringing through the air as a large shard of blackened rock slammed into it's side, blood gushing out from it's waist area. And the one who fired..[/i] [i]A terrified Rue.[/i]

  • "WAIT!" Traci waved over to Rue. "I think it's trying to talk!"

  • "LIZ, JUST.." [i]Rue seemed to be sobbing, terrified that she would lose her sister, and even as she loaded another bolt.. she didn't fire.[/i] [i]Ragnarok groaned to itself, before unleashing a pained roar that shook the foundations of the wall, yet it would fall silent still.[/i]

  • "Please...trust me!" Traci yelled out, turning to the dragon. "I'm sorry...were you trying to say something?"

  • [i]The beast of black and obsidian scales and flesh would fall silent, though a simple shake of it's massive head suggested two things: it could not speak, but it understood English to some degree.[/i] [i]Ragnarok would finish sniffing Traci, resting it's head down as it's eyes studied her still. It seemed calm.. even as the city beneath blazed with blackened fire. It almost seemed like the creature had a revelation.. after delivering a terrible justice to Khaom.[/i]

  • "You don't speak? You seem to at least understand...Well, are you going to kill me?" She asked simply, sitting down now.

  • [i]It raised a brow, while it shook it's head again, huffing in a pained manner. The ballista's bolt, embedded in it's back, had begun to dull, though remained there to prevent blood loss.[/i] [i]Rue seemed.. well, terrified still, in the background.[/i]

  • "I'm...so confused right now..." Traci's mind was racing, unsure whether or not to kill the dragon or let it escape or try and talk more....She thought of her mother, smiling weakly and backing away. "Y-You're no going to go destroy more cities, are you?"

  • [i]Ragnarok stared down at the blackened mess that was Khaom, before it murmured, almost gurgled a little, as Rue would come up to the scene, balanced onto the wall by the steps that brought Traci up to it. She seemed terrified of the beast, as it grimaced at her general presence.[/i] "Liz.. what.. happened?"

  • "Shhh, Rue. Don't scare him." Traci sighed, taking another step back. "I think he's done here. I just want to make sure he won't be going around and killing more...innocents."

  • "Are you sure that it's a he." [i]As if understanding still, Ragnarok nodded it's head towards Rue, confirming it's - or rather, his - gender. The creature would nod towards Traci, though it would still sniff her yet, as if searching for.. a scent, perhaps.[/i] "Liz, why is it.. he.. searching you?"

  • "I'm...I'm not sure." Traci curiously stared at the dragon in confusion.

  • "I don't.." [i]Rue murmured, as the creature would then rumble gladly, satisfied with it's searching. Rue would shake her head as she sat down.[/i] "...There's nothing from this. This was a complete failure, on my part. The Trayvens.. they'll take this cesspool once they hear.."

  • "I'm so sorry, Rue...this is my fault too." Traci began to fake crying a little, shaking her head. "I should've done better."

  • "...We'll fix this. Okay? We'll.." [i]Ragnarok huffed then, as if wanting to grab Traci's attention. The beast knew something that Rue didn't know at all. A familiar scent, recognition of another individual.. something of the sort.[/i]

  • Traci turned her attention back to the dragon. She stared into its eyes, wondering why it hadn't just gone away by now. "What is it?"

  • "It's like it's.." [i]Rue fell silent, as Ragnarok would lean down it's head, huffing smoke from its nostrils as it beckoned for Traci to.. climb onto it. Perhaps, unlike Rue, it had caught onto her masquerade.[/i] [i]That was still a problem. Revealing to Rue. Eliminating Rue from the fold, even, though the Tribune forces here seemed to be either dead or retreating.[/i]

  • "I'm so sorry..." Traci climbed onto the dragon. "Your sister is okay, Rue. Don't worry, I only knocked her out the other day."

  • "What? Liz, what do you.. [i]Liz, what do you-[/i]" [i]As Ragnarok took off, and flew into the sky, it came clear to Rue about what Traci meant. So clear, that a spike of an obsidian black rock flew over Ragnarok, the dragon crying out as it flew down.[/i] [i]Though no other shards came, as if Rue had composed herself yet.[/i] [i]Beneath Ragnarok's flying form, the city of Khaom burned in despair. Flames swallowed the corrupted place entirely, black fire coating the buildings and walls. It was a hopeless sight. But a deserving one, nonetheless.[/i] [i]So Ragnarok began to fly off, off into the distance.[/i] [spoiler]Fin. Final bit coming up, alongside a recollection and finishing of Empress of Fire.[/spoiler]
