Chapter 136 - The Vow Of Ander's Bane

Discovering what he needed to close all the doors of the glass house and fix everything. He returned to the glass house.

One by one he walked on closing the doors. He used enchanted crystal keys from the vault to close the doors. Each door took close to five minutes to close if you count the rescue of the people who didn't belong in those realities and getting them back to their own.

By the hour he had closed all the doors except one, the Amak stood in the center of the room with the royal family of Arimelari standing around him.

He closed the last door leading them back to wear they were in the beginning. Without the flower than can destroy the Amak he was still undecided about what to do with it.

He ordered Nayal to get Ander's family out of the glass house to avoid any more disasters. Left with the Amak, Ander and Avan I'm the glass room he took out his sword to fight.

It was the only option that he had left at the moment. It was a suicidal mission since he had no way of defeating his enemy in the fight. It was a losing battle but he chose to fight it.

He felt guilty for the situation they were in and until Nayal cane back for Ander and Annak he would hold the Amak back.

He and the Amak went head to head with each other. He made his strikes with precision and avoided most of the Amak's attacks.

"We have to do something," Avan said. He was getting tired of the creature that can't be harmed or killed.They have been fighting it for goodness how long all the best that made up Arimelari was not able to so much as cripple it.

He had never seem anything like.

"What can we do?" Ander asked him thinking of using a different fire on the creature. One that can burn through anything. The type of fire to use confused him as he tried hell fire and the damned thing didn't even flinch.

"We can't stand by and do nothing," Avan yawned at how toted he was. His whole body was aching from head to toe. It was begging him to get some rest from all the fighting he had gotten himself in.

The cat returned before they could ask it to not take them out of the house, it had already started the process. Ander glanced up at Royan, he was feeling guilty for leaving him behind with the creature.

"Goodbye dragon king ~sss~," he heard what sounded like a snake say to him. He watched Royan carefully and just then Royan turned around to look at him.

His pupils were purple and a sinister smile was on his lips. In a blink of an eye the two plus the cat were gone from the room.

A purple flame flowed from his hands to the Amak once it was only the two of them. The fire weakened the Amak burning through the monster.

Black goo splashed around the room from the Amak's open veins. The fire was not merciful yo the Amak neither was the one controlling the fire. From all the stress that he had gone through because of the monster, the Phoenix was irritated.

The fight didn't las long as soon the Amak was no more. Royan drew a circle in the air with the flame in a clock wise direction.

The circle he drew acted like a a portal that opened up. He jumped through the portal closing the glass house to prevent Nayal and anyone else from entering inside.

He found himself in the fire palace deep in the depths of the forbidden isle. The fire palace burnt with fire that had a thirst for revenge.

The voices in the fire was very clear to him now. All he could hear was the wishes of the voices in the fire. 'Kill the dragon king,' the voices screamed.

He was pleased with their screams. He was more than willing to answer their wishes. It would be a great pleasure to kill the dragon kill and avenge the lives of the people of Arimelari.

The people that he had killed to get free. The lives that were lost in the war that he had cost. The innocent lives that were lost in his treacherous plans.

The dragons that died in the battle when he let loose the curse. All the supernaturals and humans that were the collateral damage of his plan to have a normal life with his family.

They grief and the magic that existed in the land formed from the ground creating the forbidden. It was in the land where the old lands of Arimelari used to be.

"I will shed the blood of the dragon king on this very grounds," he vowed to them.

The fire in his burnt bonding well with the part of him that wanted Ander dead from the start. The curse that was written in his destiny that he will be the end of the dragon king was activated.

"Only a matter of few days and you will rejoice in the dragon's death," he promised as he danced around on the fire.

Unknown to him was the invincible shadow watching him. Amaru had been suspicious of him from the start, he didn't trust how nice the man was but it got worse when he felt his aura match the one of a person that he hadn't seen in a long time.

He wanted to make sure that it wasn't want he suspected hence he followed behind him. When he saw the way that the man danced in the fire he was sure that he hadn't been mistaken.

But seeing the snakes around Royan, he was convinced that the person whom he knew back then had taken possession of the male's body.

After confirming his thoughts, he took his leave and left the fire palace. He had to warm Ander of the danger that was hovering over him.

Due to the past relations and the debt that he owed to the one inside Royan's body he was sure he could stand by Ander and support him. The only thing that he could do was to warm him.

He arrived back at the outhouse where the rest of the family was working on moving into the house. With Mordecai and the other's arrival it was a little hard for him to speak to the dragon alone.

He helped around waiting for the perfect chance to tell the dragon king what he had seen

and heard in the fire palace.

"You look nervous," he jumped at being startled.

He turned around and came face to face with the Phoenix. His eyes had returned to normal and the tattoos on his hands had vanished. He looked normal.

"I was just a little troubled by a dream I had," he said sternly making certain their was no hesitation or nervousness in his voice to avoid suspicion.

"A dream? What was it about?" Royan asked him. The way he spoke was with sweetness that had he not seen his truth back there then he would have easily believed that he was still the same boy from yesterday.

"A purple flame consuming everything in it's path," he said causing Royan to smile nervously. "It was weird but my gut tells me that their is danger around," he said truthfully.

The one inside Royan was capable of seeing through people's lie so he played safe by changing the truth a little bit.

"What a weird dream, perhaps their is nothing to it and it's just a dream," the Phoenix said nervously ribbing his wrist where the snakes laid.

The snake on his back moved around to keep him calm. So that he doesn't overreact and give himself away.

"Perhaps but with what we just fought. I won't be able to just ignore it as a dream. For safety purposes, I will have to do research on this matter and see what comes up," he said and walked away from the conversation.

He exited the room leaving Royan in the room with worries of their conversation. The way that the god spoke, it was as though he knew more than he let on.

It was a danger to his plans and his vow if someone knew of his plans. But it was also possible that he knew nothing and was only speaking the truth. Warning of danger did often come to people in the form of the dreams and that could be the same situation.

Either way it was still the same for him. He couldn't let him find out about his plans or save the dragon from his clutches. If worse came he decided that he would just have to kill the god along with the dragon if need be.

"I will fulfill my promise and destroy the dragon king at all costs," he uttered coldly.
