2905 Fallen Pieces (Part 1)
The apparition of the Wyrmling in the Throne Room caused quite a fuss and it took the Royals a while to make sure that it was just some weird greeting from the Overlord instead of a breach of security, but this is a story for another day.
"Mogar is changing." Leegaain exchanged worried looks with the other two Guardians.
The three ancient beings had taken their real forms, standing tall in Tyris' underground throne room.
The place was an almost exact replica of the one above but entirely made of stone. Drawings, tapestry, and ceremonial armors were identical, the only difference was that every piece of furniture depicted the feats of Valeron the First.
There was no trace or mention of any of his descendants, not even the children he had sired with Tyris. The Stone Room was a place fixed in time, where everything was the same as the day had been crowned as the First King of the lands he had unified under the name of the Griffon.
On the throne next to Tyris', sat his life-like statue wearing the full Saefel Set. Only his head was exposed, his dark brown hair ruffled by the wind and his face fixed in a friendly, warm smile as he welcomed his most loyal friends in his new home.
"Until two decades ago, us Guardians would rarely leave our respective turfs and seldom appear in front of non-Awakened." Leegaain moved his eyes to the White Phoenix.
"Salaark was an exception, but even she would rarely employ more power than a regular Emperor Beast.
"Now, instead, we cross our borders on a daily basis and ever since the Day of the Black Sun, we have shown ourselves to the populace multiple times. We have gotten to the point that we are directly interfering in everyday's life and affecting the balance."
"Are you reproaching me for killing Thaymos?" The Golden Griffon growled, her eyes narrowed to fiery slits of white mana. "If it was Shargein crying and begging you to stop that filthy piece of Forbidden Magic, would you have acted any different?"
"No, far from it." The Black Dragon dismissed the idea with a sweep of his scaled hand. "I'm not a hypocrite and I have no problem to admit that I'd have done the same. Yet this just proves my point.
"Think about it. Until recently, even our children were considered a myth. The only way to see a Dragon or a Griffon was to open an illustrated children's book. Now, instead, Salaark's Nest walks Mogar.
"My Brood awakened for the Dragon Dance and one of your descendants even dated a human for a while. Thrud gave birth to a fusion between our races whereas Lith became one. Don't get me started about Elysia."
"I agree with you." Tyris calmed down after pondering his words. "More things have happened in the past two decades than in the last two millennia."
"The Abominations are back on the path to evolution, Thrud found a way for our Lesser children to become Divine Beasts, and Glemos was this close to undoing the damage that many fallen species brought upon themselves."
"Don't forget about you invading Fenagar's turf twice, you beating Ileza into a pulp and annihilating Verendi's Council, and Roghar breaking into my home." Salaark said.
"Even though I understand your reasons, Tyris, you acted the same way as the hungry cur and breached the treaties between the Guardians. Treaties that we all wrote and agreed upon."
"I know." The Golden Griffon sighed. "But again, can you blame me for any of it?"
"He is not our baby!" The Black Dragon roared in outrage. "He's another product of Mogar's schemes, the only difference is that he isn't failing like all those before him. To answer your question, no, I don't blame him. freewebnøvel.coɱ
