164 Tower Within The Void

High above in the sky floats a spiraling tower, the outer spiral holds the way into the inner area that houses a massive library and coiling around the tower is an even larger massive Serpent like Dragon.

This Dragon's wings are pressed up against its body acting like a second layer of scales that many mistake for its scales, only when it must put its life on the line would one find out were the wings are on this beast.

At the top of the Tower were the Dragon lay its head, one could see a youth without his left arm sitting atop the Dragon as they both look out far from the Tower staring down at a massive Gate.

As the Dragon and the boy sit waiting for the Gate to break down and shatter they pause and stop listening to the constant crashes against the Gate from the other side as they notice a guest.

Dashnell appeared behind the youth and the Dragon who were both overlooking the Gate from atop the Tower, as he looked down he noticed the ground littered with familiar weapons.

Alongside these weapons were lifelike statuses of those who once wielded them, each weapon belonging to a version of both Dashnell and the youth that has already fallen and lost their life to those on the opposite side of the Gate.

The battlescare ridden youth also glanced at the battlefield below before speaking.

"Welcome to our resting place, you are the very last of us Dashnell, once you die we will all be no more.

With me trapped here are we truly even alive, I have protected this place for so long that I have lost my ability to tell time, so even if you ask I can't give you the answer of how long I have been here.

We can read each other's mind and we both know what it is we wish to Discuss so let me do the talking for us both. That way I won't feel that what I have done was a mistake, if you can do what the rest of us failed to do than that is all that I will ever want or desire.

You will come to know what that desire is soon enough."

As he stopped speaking he lifted his only hand and from the battlefield below he forcefully pulled something up from one of the statues below.

"These weapons are all at your disposal, this battlefield is filled with the lives of the Greatest warriors that arrived here with every version of me.

They came here to fight alongside the me from that Reality from that 'Time' you can use their memories to learn everything about them as well as their experiences.

It should prove useful to you as it was for me, as for me I am not a version of anything I am the Original of us all, while you are the Last of us as well as our true self our Truest version.

So Dashnell I ask that you remember us, but do not deem yourself weaker or lesser than any of us.

If you wish to do something about our fates then live and when the time comes for when the Gate brings you to this place. If I am not here for you, forgive me for dying but I ask that you take up my weapon and finish what I could not.

It is my goal to be the only one who has to fight once it opens once again, the last time it did I lost my left arm killing 'It'. I assumed that 'It' had died, I was wrong and it cost me an arm that won't regrow, unlike you I do not possess regeneration or the amount of abilities you do.

Perhaps I could learn but "It' would learn regeneration as well, the version you will fight if (once) I fail is going to possess every bit of power I currently possess. 'It' will have all my abilities and 'It' will fight like me 'It' might even look like me, so I hope you will be able to slay it even as it takes on my appearance.

Don't be sad for me, I have lived such a long life, I have awaited this talk with you my whole life.

Now that we are here I just want to smile and look at that face that yet to lose everything.

You are the greatest of us."

Down below the statues of every iteration of Dashnell looked up and spoke those words.

They all had different expressions on their faces some Happy, Sad, Worried, Prideful and others with faces full with the intent to keep fighting on.

"Do you feel it, our emotion! Our Conviction to this cause that we will see through to the end even if it cost us EVERYTHING!!"

Don't stay here to long 'young one', if 'It' locks onto you that will make things harder for us here binding them to this place. I know you wish to know more and learn more, all you need to do is summon every weapon here and absorb it to learn everything you want to know.

Each time you do this you will free those who came here to fight on the front lines with us, they will be reborn in your world that has yet to face this Damned Gate.

I pray that they are of help to you in the war to come, I have watched you grow your entire life and I have to say we both handled losing an arm differently."

Laughter from Below echoed out on the battlefield making this empty Void seem full of life, the three things in this place that are seen here for all to observe are the Battlefield, The Tower and the Gate that the other two face and lead towards.

After the laughter died down Dashnell could feel that his stay in this place was coming to an end as he was vanishing as he stood in the sky above the Tower.

Looking down at the youth and Dragon he saw that each of the two possessed only one eye and unless the two became one would they hold both their eyes and all their power.

This was not how it was for him as he possessed multiple sets of eyes, looking at the Battlefield he saw that each of the statuses did not have their eyes.

With a smile from them, he was pushed out of the Void of Origin were his final battle would be held.

On Planet Viritil.

On this day the people of the Dragon Empire Celebrated the naming of the Planet, after years of trying to unite the entire populace they have finally achieved their goal and become one people.

Be they Beast, Human or the newly added Demon and Dragon Clan members everyone did their best to get along and interbreeding was very common among the people of Viritil.

To Celebrate this they renamed the Planet and Gathered around the Capital only to be greeted by a strange commotion.

They all knew the Dragon Emperor had come back home from a long journey along with his army of one thousand wives, what they were all seeing was cataclysmic hell that reminded them of the disaster that happened decades ago when many around the capitol died.

Most of the people rushed forward to see if they would be helpful while others who knew they would only get in the way stayed behind and watched from high in the sky.

Everyone rushed towards the Palace hopping nothing bad happened like last time.

Once there they saw the Empresses, all one thousand of them gathered together discussing something, while Tristan along with many of the other High ranking Generals such as Gold Luster, Timothy and the two youngest Generals Derrick and Tes, were preparing to rush inside.

Those who just arrived got looks from the Empresses and expressed their desire to provide aid as well as anything else that might be needed. When Vivian was about to prevent them from getting closer Tia whispered something to her and Vivian allowed them to join Tristan and the others.

Tia then turned to her sisters and spoke.

"While Dashnell is in this state the best thing we can do is leave him be, but we have all grown strong enough to not fear death. Let the Generals and soldiers of the Empire be our shield as we move forward to see if we can calm him down on our own.

If we fail and have to retreat we can lock down the area until he calms down on his own."

Everyone nodded their heads and looked at the Palace that is now frozen over as lightning and fire wash over the ice, space and time distorted the area and they could feel the chaotic energy of Destruction and chaos mixing together.

Before they could get ready and form up a plan they all heard the voice of the Dragon Emperor.

"Is there really a need for all this, I just wish be alone... Alone for just awhile."

After these words they waited to hear more only for the sound of Hellfire and Lighting to drown out all other sound.

The Generals were the first to act and set up a barrier around the Palace sealing it off from those to weak to withstand the strain of power emitted by the Emperor, before they then rushed into the Palace along with the panicked Empresses.

Once they heard that he was sane and not in an uncontrollable state they abandoned what they planned and went inside.

Him being in a bad mood and in an uncontrollable mood were two different things.

Once inside everyone spotted that there was one person with him and that was Verena.

Veshara got strange looks from everyone, they knew if anyone would stay at Dashnells side when he was in a rage it would be a select few of them but all of them expected the one to break their promise to be Veshara not Verena.

Their promise to remain fair to each other over his affection and love as they all remained outside with the rest but Verena who many thought was with them was now below with Dashnell.

They all looked around and indeed they spotted Verena among them.

The Verena they all knew and were with stepped out from the crowd and looked down at herself, only to see she was ignored and they all watched as the Verena below sat across Dashnells lap as he stared blankly forward into nothing.

"Don't Ignore me! Who are you, why.. Why do I feel as if I am part of you." She asked.

The answer she received was short and followed by a flash of light as the other Verena appeared before her.

"It is time we become one once again, we are, I am! His obsession!

Once we become one again we will regain all that we had to abandon to be with him. Let's hope we are not too selfish and can share as we have been doing all this time.

Before we merge and become one I will tell you our true name, and maybe you can guess who I am. I am sure you can once you do hear it, right Istina!"

Once this name was said both Verenas moved slowly towards each other before becoming a massive blob of energy that nearly pushed everyone out of the massive throne room.

Everyone was watching with bated breath even Dashnell as this was happening.

When the blinding light faded away everyone saw a pitch black beauty that reminded them of Lilly, her black skin possessed scales similar to Dashnells and within her silver eyes were worlds larger than many had ever seen.

They looked deep into her eyes as they watched Creation start and stop repeatedly.

"I am Istina the Oldest God of Creation and Master of the Dragon Emperor's Harem. I great you my dear Sisters you may all refer to me as Verena as it is the first name I shared with him."

Everyone of the Empresses looked at her with rage while the Generals slowly backed away with the other soldiers that knew better than to stay here.

"If you think you are a better choice for Head of the Harem please get down here and fight me!"

Verena said before she took out a spear that was just as black as her beautiful skin.

The others responded in kind and took out their weapons and looked at each other as they knew whoever won this fight would become the Head of the Harem and most importantly the true Empress.

Before fighting they looked at Dashnell to see him looking at them with a smile on his face.

"You can fight to your heart's content I won't interfere but I want you all to behave after this. I have something to tell you, so don't beat each other to bad." After saying so he walked into the back of the Palace not wishing to watch the soon to be one sided slaughter.
