After the captain watch the seal very closely it was giving a very strong hint to him but he wasn't very sure if he was right. And it was a very critical situation so he was in a life and death situation.
He then ordered every single magician, to take a step aside and began the retual. But then something unexpected happened. Something came through the hole of the seal. A creature came through the seal.
The great hall of the High Council was silent. Ancient dragon banners hung from the stone pillars, their symbols glowing faintly with old magic. Outside, the sky was still dark from the aftermath of the catastrophe.
The destruction dragon's servant had nearly wiped out the entire force. Ninety-nine percent of the warriors had fallen. Only a few survived, and the Earth Dragon had sealed the creature within himself to prevent the greater seal from breaking.His last words to his last injured comrade was,"Stay safe you have to make sure that my descendent stay safe and guid someone who is able to stop the seal."
But now the Earth Dragon slept.And the void dragon has been disapeared.
And the Elder, the last witness to the truth, remained unconscious.
The council saw an opportunity.
A tall figure in silver robes stepped forward and spoke to the gathered dragon clan leaders.
"The balance of the world is fragile, " he said calmly. "What happends proved that the power of the earth dragon's is too dangerous to remain unchecked. "
Murmurs spread through the hall.
The Flame Dragon leader slammed his fist on the stone table.
"Dangerous? The earth dragon saved us all!!"
The silver-robed councilor did not react.
"Perhaps" he replied. "But it was also their power that created the instability in the first place.If such disaster happens again,the world itself may collaps."
That was the lie.
But without the Elder awake, no one could prove the truth.
The council revealed their solution.
A magical contract formed in the air—ancient runes burning like chains of light."The Dragon Oath Of balance." Thecouncilor announced.
"From this moment forward,no dragon clan shall form alliances,contact or political ties with the Earth Dragon clan. Any clan that breaks this oath will lose access to the sacred mana veins that sustain their power."
The hall fell into heavy silence.
Every dragon clan relied on those mana sources to survive.
Then the councilor turned toward the Flame Dragon leader.
"And because of your clan has beenhistoricaly to the earth dragons...additional conditions will aply."
The runes shifted, forming a new binding.
"If the flame dragon clan communicates with the earth dragon's your volcanic mana wheels will be sealed.Your flames will weaken until your clan declines."
The Flame Dragon leader clenched his fists.
Everyone in the hall knew what that meant.
Helping their closest allies would destroy their own people.
One by one, the clan leaders reluctantly placed their hands on the oath.
Chains of magic wrapped around their souls.
From that moment on, the Earth Dragons stood alone.
And history slowly began to change.
Over centuries, the truth was buried, rewritten by the High Council. The world came to believe that the Earth Dragons were unstable, dangerous… a threat to balance.
But far away, deep beneath the earth, the sleeping Elder still carried the sealed darkness inside him.
Waiting.
Waiting for the day he would wake up and learn what the world had done.What had happened behined his back.With that the crystal turned off. Since the dragon lord has suddenly disappeared it was an good oprtunity for the higher ups to settled the argument they had about killing the dragon lord and rule over others together.
Current era:
As the last echoes of the recording faded, a heavy silence settled over the chamber. The Earth Dragons, their scales glistening like ancient armor, turned their gaze to the me. The weight of forgotten eras pressed on them all.
Then I took a deep breath, the truth burning in our chest like a wildfire. "The forgotten library was never just a relic. It held the power toreshape the balance of eras.And the hierches have kept us blind so they could cling to their power."
The leader of the Earth Dragons, an ancient figure whose presence seemed to shift the very ground, stepped forward. "We can no longer remain passive. But we must choose carefuly.If we reavel this truth too soon,the balance of all eras could shatter.If we do nothing,We condemnfuture generations to ignorance."
Then I nodded, determination flickering in their eyes."We must find a way to share the truth....but on our terms. We will gather those who still seek knowledge, and together, we'll rebuild the balance of the eras."
As the Earth Dragons circled, I felt a spark of hope, knowing that this was just the beginning. The past was no longer forgotten—it was a flame, ready to ignite a new future.
As the last seen of the truth has revealed and everyone has been planning what to do next suddenly everything has stopped moving.Time itself refuse to move.
The night air hung heavy, a cold weight in the room as the body began to shudder. Then I knelt beside the table, feeling a strange vacancy as the spirit prepared to leave.
In a faint whisper, the body's owner—long forgotten—zarveth breathed out his final words,"I never had the chance to say it but...i'm glad you found yourself at this life. Don't let my mistakes weigh you down."
And as his final breath faded, I understood This was no longer just a shell; it was a chance to rewrite a destiny that was once lost.After that everything became normal like nothing changed. And I decided to break the oath of all the dragon clans that have been maded in the past.
But for that we need to wake up the elder but we have not much time.Then I stood at the edge of the moonlit valley, the crystal ball warm in my hand, pulsing like a heartbeat.
And then, like a whisper in the wind, Sylvara appeared. The Sky Seeker, still strong after 1,900 years, shimmered in silver scales, untouched by age. Once, when the Earth Dragon ancestor still walked beside her, she was merely 300 years old, but even then, her wisdom surpassed time.
Now, as the leader of all remaining dragons, she was their last beacon of hope. With her guidance, I knew we could unlock the lost healing, revive the elder, and shatter the corruption once and for all—if only they could reach her in time.
