Drakians (Telios & DawnAntalios)

[Telios]

Vane soon noticed two dragons fighting over the ruins of a city. "Must be them..." He growled and teleported over, appearing behind Punos and stuck him with a pillar of light, which temporally stunned him. He then descended and picked up the glowing pendant in his talons. "Looking for this, Punos?" Vane aggravated Punos, trying to get his attention away from Zoe.

 

[DawnAntalios]

The white dragon roared in confusion as he got struck in his back and turned his attention towards Vane. Then, noticing that he had the amulet in his hands his eyes wen mad from the dark fury.


" You dog! " he roared, barraging him with his molten fury " I will roast your flesh! I will break you in body and spirit! " he dashed towards Vane as Zoe watched in horror.


" Vane! " she screamed in fear, also dashing towards him, slowing down the white behemoth with her blasts on his wings. The elder dragon shivered at the touch of the flames but then he shrugged them off and flew relentlessly at his new prey. He would flay him alive.

 

[Telios]

Vane tossed the necklace over his head and wore it. "Try to c-catch meeee!" Vane roared as he felt the power from the yellow sapphire flow into him. The symbol on his head flashed intensely, , covering him in a harsh bright yellow light. It changed him, making him larger, stronger, more powerful.

"Now... Punos... I have some unfinished business with you..." Vane growled, his new markings glowing golden.

 

[DawnAntalios]

Punos cackled as he saw the empowered dragon hovering before him.


" Just because you have your petty trinket now you believe that you stand a chance against me? I am Punos, I am one of the eldest dragons of the netherworld! You are but a mere whelp compared to me! "


He bellowed and he started to channel a powerful magic. The sky darkened as purple-black vortexes appeared in the aire and purple thunder blasted the very earth. Punos now radiated the pure power of destruction.


" And now you DIE! "

 

[Telios]

"Too late." Vane said as he charged at Punos, casting multiples lightning strikes at him. He then casted another pillar of light to stun Punos and created clones of him. They all disappeared and struck Punos multiple times, each time striking him on his weak spots.

 

[DawnAntalios]

Punos staggered but did not falter as he roared at his opponent with fury. His wounds closed quickly as the dark flame cauterized them then it was he who barraged Vane with a series of dark missiles. While most of his attacks missed one or two found their way to Vane, damaging him slightly.


" Minions! Arise, assist your master! " bellowed the dragon as he summoned a few skeletal dragons to aid him. Zoe then jumped into action finally.


" Focus your attacks on him! " she roared " I will handle these mongrels. "

 

[Telios]

As the smoke clears, a golden shield was protecting Vane from the missiles. There wasn't any scratch on him. "Nice try... Almost didn't make it in time." He panted lightly but it wasn't long until he casted another spell. A purple symbol appeared in front of him before disappearing quickly. The powerful seal is now on Punos, making him weaker and take more damage from any attacks.

He then made clones of himself again, all of them quickly striking Punos multiple times.

 

[DawnAntalios]

" Clever... " Punos hissed as he took the pounding with surprising toughness and then banished his clones. He was surprised how much energy did this cost him but it mattered not: he would not be beaten by rabble such as him.


" Come dragon, face the wrath of the Soul Flayer! " he roared as he now tried to assault Vane's mind. Inflicting horrors and night terrors on his soul was as easy as before, quickly dashing around his opponent he now struck him with his massive tail, going in with his claws next. " You may resist my magic, but your spells are worthless against my talons! '

 

[Telios]

Vane growled in pain but he quickly recovered. He fired out a quick burst of cyan light at Punos, burning him where it hit. He then disappeared from Punos' sight, and appeared right behind him, striking him to the ground with a tail slam.

 

[DawnAntalios]

Punos plummeted to the ground, growling angrily at his foe. He was strong... stronger than the others, although it was probably due to the talisman.


An evil idea dawned upon him as he raised his clawed finger and ignited the necklace around Vane's neck, focusing his powers on the item not on him.


" The royal jewels are a true pain to wield, are they not? " he hissed.

 

[Telios]

Vane roared in pain and collapsed onto the ground, although still conscious. He then ripped the necklace off him, yet the power stayed in him. "You..." He snarled, hovering back up into the air again.

 

[DawnAntalios]

Punos watched in shock as he tore the necklace apart but hist powers remained the same...


" How is this even possible? " he roared furiously as he tried to blast him with desperate powers to strike down his opponent. For the first time in many years his confidence failed him temporarily.

 

[Telios]

Vane disappeared again and appeared on top of Punos, landing on him to slam him onto the ground. His leg talons firmly planted above Punos' head, pressing it down hard.

 

[DawnAntalios]

Punos felt his energy fading as he anticipated an another attack. No, he would not be finished like this. Not here not now, not by insignificant gnats like that audacious dragon. He pulled himself up, roaring in fury and the very earth trembled in his rampage. He will decimate and devastate everything.


" If I can not destroy you, then I shall raze everything, kill anyone you have ever loved! "


He gathered his might as he summoned a massive amount of power and concentrated it in his fore paws.

 

[Telios]

Vane created a barrier surrounding Punos and Punos alone. "That won't be more than a suicide wish for you." He growled, flying up away from the insane Drakian.

 

[DawnAntalios]

Punos grinned.


" Thank you for your aid, dragon. " he hissed as he reversed the polarity of his spell. Instead of trying to destroy everything it now created something - a tear in reality itself, a portal for him to use. He modified the matrix of the barrier so nobody could pass it and then laughed at Vane before finally retreating.


" This is far from over whelp. I shall return with powers beyond your imagining. " and with that the colossal white dragon vanished into nothingness, leaving only the destruction behind him as a reminder of his dreadful presence.

 

[Telios]

Vane growled, angry at himself about letting Punos run away. "Damnit!" He roared, landing onto the ruins of the city and changed back. His eyes also changed. They aren't brown, but now golden. The barrier spell disappeared as he sat onto the ground with a heavy sigh.

 

[DawnAntalios]

As the skeletal dragons vanished Zoe looked around only to see Punos gone and Vane sitting on the ground. Quickly she dashed to him then transformed into her human form. She then furiously walked up to him and slapped on the face.


" Are you insane? You could have died here! " she yelled fighting back the tears " I would have sacrificed my power for the greater good, I can, but you can not! How did you even know where to go? You made me so worried! "

 

[Telios]

Vane didn't even move from the slap. "Io... She told me to go..." He answered, looking away from her. "I can't just let you die... What will happen to her existence? Further more, I'll be devastated like before again... And I can't bear you being injured or killed."

 

[DawnAntalios]

" Io... " Zoe whispered in shock " So you have seen her as well then, she was not a mirage only... "


She collapsed on the ground, sitting down in front of him, falling silent. Only the voices of crows interrupted the deafening silence which surrounded the two Drakian as none have seemed to survive the devastation around them. A dark wind was blowing as the influence of Punos vaned into nothingness. They were victorious today, but not permanently. Their foe escaped.

 

[Telios]

Vane eventually stood up with Zoe and used a teleportation spell back to the gates of Victoria. He walked back to the house with her, staying completely quiet. When they were in the house, he helped her up to the bathroom and told her to wash herself and rest while he cooked a meal for them.

 

[DawnAntalios]

Zoe could do anything but rest. This day was both a good and a bad one, it was up to debate which part was actually more important than the other. Vane... he was truly the blood of royal Drakians, just as she suspected... the power he demonstrated was no small feat, he was truly equal to Punos. And it seemed that the amulet's power lingered in him even now...


She should have been happy... but why was she still so very worried still?

 

[Telios]

Vane sighed as he put the plates of food onto the table. He truly has the royal Drakian blood flowing in him... But he couldn't believe it. Why was he living with his current parents and not the King and Queen? He dismissed that question with another sigh and came up to check on Zoe.

 

[DawnAntalios]

She was sitting in the room silently. Her head was aching, so many things have happened in such a short time. She did not know what to do or what to say, especially to Vane. She wanted to congratulate him but she was not sure he would like it. She was clueless what lied ahead of them now that Vane became the most powerful Drakian she felt utterly useless, minuscule.


Maybe he would allow her to be her doggy companion while he does everything. Hopefully.

 

[Telios]

"Zoe?" Vane called, walking into their bedroom. "Are you alright, my mate?" He asked as he sat down onto the bed next to her. He hoped that he didn't make her sad, despite the slap he got from her.
