339 Return To Shearath V : Visitors

My cousin, or to be more precise a bloody snake, or a leech. Officially, I'm the last true descendant of the Cor family, and that's very true. But Goose here is the son of my father's illegitimate sister, a woman who my father had executed after she foolishly tried to stage a coup, and used some of the Cor family assets to make some really shady and questionable deals in the past. I was just a child back then and I was not too privy about the intricacies of her arrest and execution. All I knew was that my father kept her son with us, sent him to school, and took care of his needs.

But Goose, who's real name is Aramis Cor, still has the blood of my family running through his veins. So whether I liked it or not, he's still a part of the family, and because of that, he's a very real heir to everything the belongs to the Cor family. I somehow had the feeling that my father had taken care of his needs, so that he could grow and become a rival that would challenge me for everything I owned since he has a somewhat legitimate claim to it, but I can't really be sure though. The only way he would ever have a legitimate claim is if I'm dead, or unfit to lead due tovariety of reasons, chiefs amongst them being a mental illness.

But I wasn't suffering from any of those things, being a vampire could he a leverage he would hold over my head,however I wouldn't let that be the case, I didn't come here to conform to the rules of the human coalition, I just came here to get what belongs to me, and get the fuck out of here. I wouldn't be able to focus on my greater mission if I still have things to do here, so I rather just do this, and be done with Shearath once and for all.

"What are you doing here Kael, you're supposed to be in exile, your sentence doesn't end for another two years. Are you; a noble of the human coalition, going against the rules and laws the human coalition and generations of our ancestors put in place. No one is above the law, not even a member of the seven noble family. This is blasphemy!"

I ignored him, I just suddenly found dealing with him so damn exhausting. I liked at the guards behind him, they were wearing the same uniforms as the Cor estates house guards, however I don't recognize any of them. And I should recognize them, after my father died, I was practically raised by the house guards, and with Asare as their leader, I had a rather unconventional childhood, which means I'm able to recognize them all, even in my sleep.

"You dare ignore me! You're a publicly recognized prisoner, a fugitive! And in your absence I have become the interim lord of the Cor noble family, right now I outrank and out value you, all thus belongs to me, so don't you dare be disrespectful or I will have you executed as it's within my rights!"

*Hissss!*

The doors of the frigate slides open with a hiss drawing his attention away from me as I focused on the light, and the feeling of being back home. Maxine led a charge with two dozen soldiers behind her of varying races. She walked over with a blank look on her face as she stood in front of me.

"Your Majesty please don't teleport all over the place, the job of the royal guard is to keep you safe, but if you're running around allover the place, that makes our job that much harder. Even as a lord you never were one for the proper protocols of doing things, but you're a king now, that's a whole lot more responsibility and clout, so please observe the proper way of doing things. It adds more finesse and regality to you." Then she turned towards goose and said to him.

"This estate is the ancestral home of his Majesty King Kael of Spero. And as such it falls under the jurisdiction of the armed forces of the realm of the dragon kings. As it stands you're relived of your duty as interim lord of Cor family you will relinquish control of all its assets and submit yourself for a debrief and evaluation of every single decision you've made in the last two years, now hop to it."

Then Maxine turned and nodded to the remaining two dozen guards, who quickly fell into formation with me, Asha and Xaseah in the middle. And then somehow, I don't know how, a red carpet rolled out in front of us, leading directly to a parked air car that would take us straight to the main house. There should be a short distance teleportation pad to take care of transportation, but Maxine was in charge of security detail, and it obvious she wants my return to be as public as possible.

"stop right there! Stop I say!" Goose shouted at us as we moved towards the main house.

What happened instead was a Nephilim turning around and calling out a spell. Immediately, a cage made of light appeared and caged goose and his retinue of guards, we continued forward, completely ignorant of my cousin's ranting. I had to deal with him, but to be honest I was not ready to do that at the moment, he was family, plus I was back home after a very long time as a man that has been changed in more ways than one. The entire experience felt surreal to me, it was like a dream, but truly I really was home.

Once we went in through the main entrance, the staff and the guards were all arranged in a line and waiting for us. The staff though there were some new additions, were all faces I recognized, most of them people who fed, bathe and clothed me as I grew up, but they looked bad. It didn't make sense, this was the house of a noble family, the servants here would be living a life comparable to a wealthy merchant in a medium sized town. But they looked starved, and injured.

"Young Master Kael! Welcome home!" an elderly woman who looked to be about 60 walked forward to greet me, however.

"Who said you get out of line! Stay where you are, or you will be fined and punished!"

The person who had spoken was lanky looking man, he was so thin that I felt that even a gust of wind could blow him away. His eyes were scrunched up, nostrils flaring and shoulders squared. He was confident, and seeing that only him, and every guard I could see were wearing the crests of the human race's coalition, I would say his confidence came from the fact that he seems to be representing a higher authority than that of my family.

"greetings visitors, in the supervisor and caretaker of the Cor family estates as appointed by the governors council. Please if you can show me the certificate of your release, and a document validating your identity for I would be able to hand over control of your home back to you, after a brief period of observation of course."

Maxine looked at him narrowed eyes and asked him with a dangerous edge to her voice. "And how long would this period of observation be?"

"it would be anything from six months to 10 years, depending on when the supervisor; which is myself, and the governors council of the human coalition feel you're about ready to full control of all your assets. Now if you don't mind, let me see your certificate of release." He said, his words curse and crisp and spoken with such finesse and confidence, you would know he's done this a few times before.

"Your majesty what would you have me do?" Maxine asked me, her hands slowly inching towards the gun on her left hip.

"Put a hole in both his legs, and one hole on the left legs of his packets. Then lock them up and send a message to the governors. Tell them to come carry their trash, also ask for a ransom, decide what it should be at your own discretion. If they refuse to comply, execute them all publicly within a week."

Apart from the soldiers that came with me from Shearath, along with Xaseah and Asha, everyone standing right at the main entrance were shocked. The supervisor was surprised that I would decided to do such a thing to him, even when I knew who he was, and who he represented. And as for the old staff, this was a part of me they've never seen or experienced before; the young boy they raised who strongly believed in justice would never have been so brutal.

That was true, but I've been through hell,both hot and cold, tough times and pain that would make even the strongest of men break under the pressure. It would be completely stupid to think I would remain the same, besides if I never changed, then I would very much be dead by now. Changing was the only way I could stay alive and keep the people I love safe.

"Head maid Vivian, it's good to see you again. I've missed you, all of you. Please join me in the ballroom, I would very much like to introduce my family to all of you, plus Maxine is about to do something that would leave a stain later, I don't want you guys to get stained. Come along."

The rest of the staff followed behind me, and when we had walked forward a bit, the sound of gunshots sounded behind us as Maxine went to work. I heard over 40 individual hearts skip a beat after Maxine carried out her orders. I don't really blame them, they were simple people, the Cor household had a clear distinction. The servants were not violent in anyway, though quite a few of them are trained battle maids and battle butlers. However none of them were here, leaving behind the simple members of the staff who would jump in fright the moment a pan falls to the ground. But either way they'll still accept me, that's just how much faith I have in them.

273 GALAXIES AWAY

DAVID IYE JOHNSON

KING OF THE MIND DRAGON.

David walked through the halls of his base, his thing yet muscular body coiled and ready for battle. Tensions were high enough as it is, but now his larger destiny was now calling to him. In the end he was more than just a general in the resistance, however he felt tired. He Jason been fighting a war on three fronts, and as it stands he didn't know how much more of all these fighting he could take, though his alternate personality would argue that this was the best kind of life.

But time was no longer something he had in abundance, the darkness was coming closer and it was about time the dragon kings assembled and did what they were always meant to do in the first place. To be heroes, saviors; but as it is, David doubted if he knew the meaning of that word,or if that word could even apply to him.

Yes he was loved and respected by a lot of people, but he was also hated by a lot more. They've given him names like the butcher, monster, demon. And as much as he would love to say they were wrong in their assumptions of him, he knew couldn't. He was a monster, but how is it that a monster was now responsible for saving the universe, how was he worthy of such responsibility. Yes he doubted himself, but in the end when all is said and done, this was the way, the only way that he could get the redemption he desired, if not for anything we but for the woman he loved and who bore him a daughter, for Lilith.

THE SYIGIAN STAR SYSTEM

THE PIRATE SHIP DRAGON MARY(KELEA)

VICTORIA, VERA & VERA NEESON

QUEENS OF THE MIND DRAGON

The surprise on all of their faces was quite obvious as they listened to what Mary was saying. They had met the king of the soul dragon before, they knew he was powerful, and because he was just like them, a king of one of the seven pillars of creation for the seven layer universes. But the news that he found the realm of the dragon kings, a place that they have spent 5 years looking for, left them a little bit shocked.

Even though all of the dragon kings are supposed to be allies, they were pirate Queens, each of them knew that the person to find the realm first would have bragging rights as opposed to other dragon kings, hopefully this Kael Cor was not a stingy or greedy person. Either way it was about time they all came together and figured what is it, they had to do to save the universe.

For quite a while now, all three of them have been feeling a sort of pressure. Whatever it is that they had to fight, it was drawing close and they were running out of time. They already had their fleet of pirate ships, the biggest in existence, and so powerful that even the Toroth would rather avoid them than to pick a fight with them. Their colleague and the king of the mind dragon David,was a general with an army capable of splitting an entire planet in half with just a thought, not to mention he had a mind so powerful he could actually move stars.

No one knew what Kael Cor was capable of, but based on how powerful this collective of kings and Queens are, then it stands to reason that what they had to face was something really powerful and dangerous, but none the less, all three sisters knew they had an impressive amount of assets kicking to deliver to that darkness coming for their home. David might have the power of his mind, Kael his soul, but they had the power of magic! God help their enemies.
