Chapter 24: Gregaaze The Fire Dragon King 4
Ashaaze was a very wise king in that he never exerted his rule and simply let the dragon do as they wish. It would be very foolish for 1 dragon to attempt to control more than 4 at any given time. Which was why he had 4 generals that were extremely loyal to him. Now, one of his loyal men was kneeling before him as his youngest son, who definitely is not at the age to hunt, is standing next to defeated beast even his eldest son had lost to once upon a time.
Ashaaze cleared his throat and said,"Son, I will ask honestly, and I hope you shall answer the same, did you kill this Giant Ghost Tiger?"
Gregaaze nodded his head and said,"Yes father. Stelaaze and I were playing near Crier mountain when this beast crept up on us. Luckily I noticed it's presence, but we were unable to escape."
Ashaaze said,"And then? Tell me the story."
Gregaaze told the story from start to finish, leaving no details out, from his strategy to escape, to fight, his potential unlocking, his discovery of how to utilize earthly energy and finally how he killed the tiger.
After this long explanation Ashaaze simply asked,"Can you show it to me?"
Gregaaze was ecstatic when he heard that and quickly manifested his Fire Dragon Claw. Ashaaze looked on in wonder as his child did something that not even was able to comprehend. He was an old man at this point and within 200 years would most likely die, so he was very happy that both of his sons were incredibly strong.
With this train of thought Ashaaze said,"My son, first you shall teach this method to my four generals and your brother, as they all will be great allies in the future and it will make our great dragon race truly take off! After you and the others have mastered this power, you will begin selecting talents to also pass this power too, however make sure they are loyal. Eventually every dragon should learn this, at least that is the dream in my head."
Gregaaze eyes lit up and he shouted back,"I will not disappoint father!" nove)lb/1n
After explaining the story to his brother and the generals they were amped to learn this new power and from this point on Gregaaze would be known as "Fire Dragon Origin King".
At night, Gregaaze sat down next to Stelaaze but neither said anything to each other. Too much had happened within such a short time frame that it all felt so... unreal.
Stelaaze was the first to speak as she said,"Thank you for saving me. I was so scared at the time that I couldn't even think."
Gregaaze frowned and said,"If it were the me from before I may have believed you, but I cannot anymore unfortunately."
Stelaaze head shot up and she stared Gregaaze in the eyes and retorted quickly,"What is THAT supposed to mean, Gregaaze?" She had called him greggy for months so this was a direct stab at him and their friendship. She could also play that game!
Gregaaze sighed and said,"I am guessing that you don't know that I can sense your overwhelming divine energy that is constantly leaking out of you, eh?"
Stelaaze was stunned for a moment but she eventually managed to ask,"How do you.."
Gregaaze replied,"Your energy is so refined and pure compared to the normal earthly energy I absorb that you'd have to be a God. It only makes sense."
Stelaaze slowly reverted back to her human form in front of Gregaaze, astonishing him. Stelara then said,"This is my true form. Nothing I told you was a lie, I was truly scared. My good friend was bleeding out and dying, who would not be scared at that?"
Gregaaze only nodded at that, still surprised that had managed to befriend a God without even releasing it. Gregaazs then said melancholically,"I guess this means you will be leaving?"
Stelara nodded regretfully and said,"Yes, I will have to let the others know about this new power and figure out a way to conceal ourselves better."
Before she left she paused and then said,"Jasmooze likes you, worships you secretly and even hopes to bear your children someday, just so you know."
Gregaaz's eyes popped open in complete astonishment at this, but before he could even ask, Stelara simply popped out of existence, gone from his life.
He chuckled to himself and said,"Jasmooze eh? She will definitely grow up to be a beauty, but she is part of the blue patterned dragons. Well, let's see how this goes before we say it's not possible!" He then set off with his brother in tow to the blue patterned dragons camp to propose to his new wife! His life was going to be amazing!

Stelara popped back in to the living room right as Sol was serving the food, so she got lucky with a nice hot meal!
Jay looked at her and could feel through the empathy link that something was wrong. He asked her and while they were eating all the gods heard of Gregaaze's heroic breakthrough because of his belief that Stelara and himself were in mortal danger.
Jay understood his daughter's feelings about having to leave her friend that she cared a lot about. He asked her,"Well, did you at least give him a reward for his actions to save you?"
Stelara swallowed her food and went to take another bite as she simply said,"Oh yeah, I gave him a wife."
Every single God was stunned upon hearing this. Sol only got out,"a-and how d-did u do this?"
Stelara shrugged and said,"This girl dragon from one of their lower clans told me how hot she thought my friend was and so I simply told him. Dragons take physical attraction very seriously you know?"
Everyone was too stunned for words.
