165 Seat of Power

As the fight for Head of the Harem was about to get underway, a few from the pack left not wanting to fight for power. Everyone who wanted to fight Verena for power watched potential allies flee, all of them leaving and joining Dashnell in the bedroom.

Those were Vivian, Sophia, Hera and Tezrian these 4 who could contend with the strongest of them backed away not wanting to fight swayed a few more of his passive wives to also give up.

Those left behind found they were no longer hundreds vs 1, many realized that if they wanted to be in control they would need more power than they possessed and left.

Leaving only Valara, Veshara Kiera, Tia, Tianna, Erida and Ella these few were unsure why Annabel who could rival both Dashnell and Veshara was nowhere to be found to participate but did not feel any pain as she was someone they feared fighting.

Once the sides were decide Verena asked how they wanted to decide who would have full control of the Harem, she did not think they would pick a contest of power as she was stronger than them all.

They should have felt the change she underwent after the fusion of her two selves, but before she could suggest a few alternatives they all took stances for battle.

\"Let's fight it out, like we always do! I won't lose to any of you!!\" - Valara.

\"I might not win this battle but I will never let such a good opportunity to fight the strongest of us go!\" - Kiera.

\"Don't think I let that loss against Dashnell stop me! I will show you all how strong I have become!\"

- Erida.

\"I will also fight and take this as an opportunity to see where my power lies.\" - Tia.

\"I find it strange you weaklings think you can beat me!\" - Ella.

\"Only two of you will even stand a chance, so why are you even here go back with the others at least you could enjoy our Master while the rest of us fight.\" - Tianna.

\"You all have no idea that I am going to crush your hopes right before your eyes and you will only be able to crawl into Dashnells arms as I take my place above you!\" - Veshara.

They all spoke at once getting ready to launch at each other and begin the battle to finally decide who was the strongest among them and most important of all who controls the pack!

Within the throne room that was large enough to fill millions and with its space manipulation nodes making it larger when needed.

Everyone fighting saw Verena send Veshara flying out of the Palace.

\"You don't get to fight you should be happy I am making you my second in command now stand and watch as I crush these few bothersome children.\" - Verena.

No one expected to see Veshara the new Empress that quickly came into near absolute power being tossed out of the Palace and told to be happy about it.

They expected her to rush back inside and a battle to ruin the Palace once again, but they all watched her face twist in rage as chains pinned her down and kept her in the air above the Palace.

Valara and the others knew what these chains were, they helped stop the out of control Dashnell long ago and they knew these chains were able to suppress him and Veshara but no idea on how to control them.

The strange thing was seeing Verena who had no ability to control them before, not only summon them but use them to suppress Veshara who should be stronger than Dashnell.

Valara did not want to take chances so while everyone was momentarily in shock she looked into the future only to receive a kiss from Verena an then be pushed out. Valara looked at Verena in a fright before she realized how they had all fucked up an challenged the wrong person.

Stepping back she tried to reason with the visibly irritated Verena.

\"Verena look, we can settle this like old times right? You remember all the times we helped each other out, we can rule the Harem togeth- You can have all the power I am sorry Verena I will excuse myself!\"

Valara tried to time warp out of the Throne room and into the back room but was encased inside a blue translucent cube that froze time and Valara. Soon everyone watched the cube hit the Palace floors and crack the surface of the tiles that were reinforced multiple times in the past.

\"Only because of how we worked so well together in the past will I allow you to have raised your blade against me, but you will still be punished for going against me! Little Val.

As for the rest of you!

Kiera, Erida and Tia I know you wish to stand out among Dashnells women so I will not be to hard on you as you wish to test yourselves against those of us who are stronger.

This is the type of improvement everyone should have sought out, but they all became to greedy and wanted my position of number one.\" Verena then turned to the exclude Ella and Tianna.

\"You two have been so bad, so out of control, running around doing whatever you please merging with Dashnells young. I will forgive it to an extent but both of you will face my wrath here and now, I am not Vivian I will not stop once you no longer fight back, I will only stop once you are Obedient!\"

Both Tianna and Ella knew to fight back at their best and to work together as Verena was acting strange, they could no longer read her mind as she was actively blocking them and Valara could not respond to their questions as she was locked in the Time Cube.

They looked over at Tia, Erida and Kiera only to see them fly back down to the ground and sit on their knees and wait like patient children awaiting punishment.

After finding no help from Tia, Erida and Kiera they looked outside and noticed the now calm Veshara staring at Verena as if she was her greatest fear.

Thinking hard they both tried to get Annabel to show up and help them only to hear Verena's laughter. \"You two fools should just accept this ass whoopin that I am about to give you, the only two that could challenge me are busy fighting each other while I am here taking over!!

I have won!\"

Tianna summoned the pitch black spear to fight back while Ella a black scythe.

\"We will have to trouble you then to show us why the others fear you 'All Mighty' Verena!\"

These words were the last thing Ella remembered before she entered the ground of the Palace no longer conscious.

Tianna nearly dropped her Spear in fright but tightened her grip and rushed toward her demise, she wanted to face this challenge and put up a fight unlike the caught off guard Ella.

As she tried to pierce Verena with the Spear instead of dodging Verena stood still and allowed the Spear to enter her, shock was seen all over Tianna's face but it was to late and she now knew why the new Verena was to be feared.

\"So you finally guessed it I see, but it's too late now isn't it child! I am a True God of Creation on equal standing with Nala, Dashnells Creator so how could any of you even harm me when his power flows through your veins.

Veshara was once apart of him, but is now a creature of her own but that does not change the fact that she is a God of Destruction created by Nala.

She can never lift a finger against me, Nala is fighting Annabel right now as they believe that I have not made it to this Time yet.

You can thank Valara for that, Nala thinks she is so clever trying to delay me but I am never going to hand him back no matter what not after all I have done.

She will not be able to have him to herself I will force her to share, and today when she comes back thinking she has won I will be seated on the Throne.\"

Veshara knew Verena was speaking the truth, none of them could rival Annabel.

At first Veshara thought she could stand against her as an equal but she was beaten into submission with only two attacks.

She did not want anyone to know that she suffered such a defeat and Annabel kept quiet about it till this day, Veshara looked over and a chill ran down her spine as she thought about 2 more like Annabel and the fact that Verena talked as if she was stronger than the other two.

Soon the fighting became Verena gloating high in the Sky as all the others rest on the floor, as a choice of their own or because they were asleep due to blunt force trauma.

Tristan and the other Generals watched as Tianna was smacked into the Palace ground landing next to Ella and joining her in having a nice dream on the floor.

The Palace walls had long since collapsed and everyone near the Palace for the Celebration saw it all clearly that Verena dominated everyone of the other Empresses without much issue an even forced a few to submit without fighting.

As Verena floated down and landed on the Throne she spotted Tristan and signaled with her index finger for him to come over, seeing this Tristan the other Generals and the Dragon Empire citizens looked at him in pity.

That finger motion could mean that he would join those kneeling or those planted in the ground.

Seeing her smile as she did it made it feel even more ominous, but even so he still rushed over without delay and came before Verena who was seated in the Throne.

\"Tristan my son, I know you will make a great future Emperor but you should know as Immortal beings I will not allow Dashnell to hand over the throne so soon. You might be waiting for a very, very long time before you can sit in this chair as the ruler of the Dragon Empire.

Will you still wait for that day child?\"

Everyone heard her words she was not trying to keep this talk between the two of them, everyone on the Planet heard her words.

Tristan responded with a smile as he spoke to this mother of his.

\"I am more than willing to wait for it! I know that it will be handed down by Father when not only I am ready but when he is ready to roam existence with all of you. And when he returns I will happily give the throne back to him if he desires it.\"

These words caused Verena to shiver in excitement.

No one would understand her mood right now other than Nala and Dashnell maybe Annabel but she would never admit it.

This child before her is her true son, along with her other true son being his brother Victor. No one knows this but her and Dashnell that both Victor and Tristan are their children from the past they lived together.

She was blinded by her love of her first born child and did not understand her actions that cost her and Dashnells lives along with their other children and her sisters.

This time she vowed to never be so blind, this is also the reason for her intense love and obsession for Dashnell.

She wanted to make up for the past and she still had one last chance to do things right with Tristan.

She was the one that sent him into the tear not Dashnell but she never corrected anyone. She wanted everyone to think Dashnell saved Tristan as he did try but died to quickly before he could.

These memories were a powerful source of pain for Istina an the reason she abandoned that name and everything to do with it, and became Verena a strong woman who needed no one, until she once again met Dashnell and once more fell in love, fell into obsession.

Tristan stood still as he waited for her reply only to see her start to cry as she sat on the Throne.

Before he could speak to try and comfort her, he heard the weeping of Tia, Erida and Kiera who were kneeling nearby, he even swore he saw Veshara crying and he saw both bodies in the ground moving.
