Stormbringer was an absolute marvel, almost like a cheat code in a game. His titles and skills exemplified why the word "Apex" was placed before the name of his race. The sheer power and potential locked within him were astonishing, making him a true representation of the Apex Draconians.
Tonitrum explained that baby dragons typically inherit the elemental affinity most dominant in their father's lineage. Coincidentally, Stormbringer's affinity for lightning mirrored Canna's, as if fate itself had orchestrated their meeting.
This connection only deepened the bond Canna felt with his newly hatched companion, reinforcing the idea that Stormbringer was destined to play a significant role in their journey.
The next day, Canna checked in on Stormy, but the baby dragon was still fast asleep. Tonitrum informed him that, due to the long lifespan of dragons, Stormbringer could remain in this deep slumber for months or even years unless deliberately awakened. This period of rest was crucial for Stormbringer's growth and development, allowing his body to harness and refine the immense power within him.
Understanding the importance of this rest, Canna resolved not to disturb Stormbringer's slumber. He knew that forcing the dragon to awaken prematurely could hinder his development and potentially weaken him. Despite the eagerness to see Stormbringer's full potential in action, Canna prioritized the dragon's well-being and growth.
Although Stormbringer's capabilities were astounding, Canna was acutely aware of the limitations imposed by the circumstances.
The dragon had to remain within the safety of the barren domain to avoid detection. The risk of being discovered by a god was too great; once Stormbringer's existence was known, they would be relentlessly pursued till the ends of Sepra
Canna found himself in a delicate balancing act. On one hand, he had a dragon of immense potential, a creature that could tip the scales in their favor in any confrontation. On the other hand, the need for secrecy was paramount. The world outside was fraught with dangers, and the gods' interest in Apex Draconians was a threat that could not be ignored.
As he pondered these challenges, Canna felt a growing sense of responsibility. Stormbringer was not just a powerful companion; he was a symbol of a lost legacy, the last of the Apex Draconians. Canna knew that nurturing and protecting Stormbringer was not just about utilizing his strength but also about preserving a rare and valuable part of dragonkind's history.
For now, Canna would continue to strengthen himself and his allies, preparing for the day when Stormbringer would awaken. Until then, he would ensure that the young dragon's growth was unhindered and that their presence remained concealed from prying eyes.
______________
With Stormbringer's hatching, Canna had completed the final task on his to-do list within the dungeon. It was now time to ascend and begin the next phase of his plan: seeking out the various races that could assist in transforming the barren domain into a thriving sanctuary.
Canna took a long, contemplative look at the dungeon that had been his home and training ground. Everything he needed was securely packed into his storage ring, ensuring he was prepared for the journey ahead. Turning to Tonitrum, Canna felt no need for formal goodbyes; their bond through the domain meant he could visit the ancient dragon whenever he wished.
Tonitrum had already prepared the portal for their departure. Canna's two powerful subordinates, Mortem and Vorgrim, had taken their places within his shadow, ready to emerge when needed. Grimruk and Kael, however, would accompany him physically.
As Canna stood before the portal, he felt a mixture of anticipation and determination. This was the beginning of a grand undertaking, one that would not only shape the future of the barren domain but also potentially alter the balance of power in the world. His vision of a unique sanctuary—a safe haven where diverse beings could coexist and thrive—was about to be set into motion.
The portal shimmered with a mystical light, a gateway to the unknown. With a deep breath, Canna stepped through, Grimruk and Kael following closely behind. The sensation of crossing the threshold was both exhilarating and sobering, as Canna knew that the path ahead would be fraught with challenges and uncertainties.
Emerging from the portal, Canna found himself in a new and vibrant landscape, a stark contrast to the sterile environment of the dungeon. The air was fresh, filled with the scents of nature, and the sky stretched wide above them. It was a world full of possibilities, waiting to be explored and shaped.
