Drakians (Telios & DawnAntalios)

"Unless what? Do you have an idea, young lady?" He asked, yet politely. He was curious about what Zoe said too. "If so, please tell us."
 
" It is said that the king possesses a powerful artifact - a heirloom passed down by the line of kings since the dawn of time. This artifact - a pendant - has a peculiar stone as a jewel, crafted from an alien metal which fell from the sky milenias ago. The tale goes that the king who had the pendant had marvelous abilities: he was stronger than mortal men, could use magic to an extent and was night invincible. If Punos would get the artifact his power would grow tenfold and - since he is a dragon - he would become almost like a god... "
 
"That is not good." Vane frowned. "We need to prevent him from getting it... But the main question is how..." The mayor sighed, thinking. "Zoe, maybe you could infiltrate the castle? I know you don't want to return but I don't know we have another choice..."
 
She sighed and bowed her head, but knew that they were right. There was no other way but this. She looked up, determined and nodded.


" I shall gather my armor and head back to Doonem immediately. " she looked at Vane, then pulled him to a corner to speak with him privately.


" You must stay here and warn your family. The king and especially Punos knows how you look like, I don't want to risk your life. "


She leaned closer, kissed him on his cheeks. She felt that same warmth again in her belly momentarily.


" Farewell. " she said and dashed out from the door, running to their house. There was no time to waste, who knew how close Punos was to the artifact already.
 
Vane nodded with a heavy sigh, saying good bye to the Mayor and went outside of the town. He changed and flew over to where his parents were living.
 
Disgusted with the idea that she needed to face those death ridden abominations in the castle Zoe pulled her armor on and prepared to leave. As she left the house she looked back one more time, sighing heavily. She just hoped Vane to be all right.


She walked outside the gates and transformed. It will be faster to return to the castle in dragon form - but she needed to land a safe distance from it not to be detected by the betrayer from within. Prepared, she lifted off from the ground and headed back to Doonem - to the jaws of death itself.
 
Vane flew back to the town his parents were living in. He soon arrived and turned back at a safe distance from the town. Arriving at his parents' house, he knocked on the door and told them what was happening... A few hours later, two dragons accompanied Vane on his way back to Victoria.
 
She walked as a human before the black gates of the ominous city as dark memories filled her mind. She stopped before the portcullis as a guard in shining silver armor stopped her.


" Halt! Who goes there? "


" The Dusk. " came the short and angry answer from the girl.


" Zoe? " said the guard surprised. " We presumed you to be dead! Have you slain the dragon? "


" The wyrm escaped the last moment. " said she, spitting on the ground. " But I have information to be shared. The king might be interested in it. "


The guard said nothing just raised the gate. She stepped inside as the foul stench and bad feeling filled her. She was back to hell, to this sinkhole. But her mission was clear. She had to push on.
 
Vane went inside his house with his parents, talking to them about the situation. "A Drakian is working for the King? That's unbelievable..." His dad answered, frowning. "It's hard to accept... But it's true..." Vane sighed.
 
Disgust filled her as she walked through the corridor of the great castle. It seemed as dark and as menacing as it always was. Knights and guards in shining armor were walking up and down as they were on duty. All of them looked at the girl with hate and anger - nothing new, just a she expected they to do. She did not care, just went onward until she entered the throne room.


On his jeweled throne sat the king, looking at her with his cunning eyes. But something was not right with the monarch as his vision seemed to be.. dull, glassy, like he was not even a living being. Beside him stood a slender, white haired man who she did not see before. Legends told about a fierce commander who wanted to lay ruin to all who opposed the kingdom - and she now stood before that legend.


The old man stepped forward, until their steps met on the crimson carpet then, with a sly voice he greeted the errant knight.


" Welcome back, Lady Zoe. " he said with a menacing fire in his eyes. " I, Punos, High Commander of Doonem's Army, welcome you home. "
 
Vane talked to his parents for a while before heading out of town again. He used a teleportation spell to get near the town they were living quickly and changed back. He collected their necessities, with their permission of course, and started to go back home by flying. He can only use one teleportation spell for every three hours as it can drain a lot of his stamina.
 
" My Lord... " hissed Zoe while bowing before the Drakian whose eyes pierced through her. " I wish an audience with the king. "


" He is... preoccupied, as you may see. " said the old commander while he walked up to the monarch. He snapped with his fingers and the king fell forward to the ground, frightening Zoe.


" Oh worry not, he is not dead... yet. " whispered the dragon darkly " His will is strong... the pendant is bound to him as long as he lives. "


Zoe looked at him with fear in her eyes. Did he know?


" Of course I do, my lady. " grinned the dragon, waving with his hand. In that moment Zoe was crashed into the nearby wall as she felt a suffocating force at her throat. " And you, traitor, will pay the price for not being obedient. Did you think I am as oblivious as to no notice a Drakian when it is in my near proximity? It was foolish from you to return... but you may be of use to me yet. "


He walked up o the coughing girl, gazing in her eyes.


" Oh, what delightful agony we shall inflict, my dear... "
 
Vane shivered as he felt something was off. "Zoe..." He mumbled, worried about his mate. He landed at Victoria's gate and went to his house, giving his parents the bag which held their nessecities. He then ran off to the Mayor's house, bursting inside.


"I think we may have overlooked something." Vane started and the Mayor nodded with a frown. "Punos... He could sense who is a Drakian... Zoe might not be safe..."
 
In a dungeon cell deep beneath the castle Zoe screamed in agony as Punos pressed his burning clawed hand against her forehead. A torrent of unrelenting agony assaulted her mind as the sadistic dragon pressed on. After a while he stopped, frowning.


" Your will is iron. But even iron bends under the molten fury of a dragon. I will break you. "


" I will never serve you. Do you hear me? NEVER! " yelled Zoe, exhausted. The old warrior frowned again.


" Why? You and I are the same. " said he and resumed the torture. Zoe screamed once again, responding with all her might.


" We are not... I am not a monster... a traitor... "


His eyes flared as he grinned.


" Are you not, dragon? You betrayed your fellow knights because you did not wish to accept my blessing. You have sent them to their deaths! "


Zoe's mind filled with doubt and for but a second her resolve faltered. This was the moment Punos waited for as he doubled his efforts, causing unimaginable pain to the girl.


" So easily solved... you are not so complicated after all. " was all he said as he let go of her. Zoe's head fell forward and her scream ceased. Punos grinned with a devilish smile as he knew that he succeeded.
 
Vane decided to go outside of the town and fly around to ease himself down. He was getting nervous and worried about his mate. "Zoe..." He muttered to himself, flying back and forth. "Are you okay...?"
 
With renewed purpose and frothing fury the puppet known as Zoe left the black gates of Doonem, walking slowly towards her destination. Her eyes were now burning with an unnatural purple flame, her wrath manifesting around her in a likewise purple flame.


" By the master's command... I shall end all traitors. " came the mesmerized voice of the girl who then transformed into her dragon form, heading back to Victoria. She had an unsettled business in that place.


She had a dragon to slay.
 
Vane was flying on his way to Doo em after speaking with the mayor. He was clearly worried for Zoe with a frown on his face. I hope everything is still alright for her... He groaned mentally, wishing that he had replaced her. He soon spotted a familiar black dragon. "Zoe?" He called, sensing something wasn't normal about her.
 
She halted mid air, her eyes and her Drakian Mark burning in twilight purple color instead of red. She roared in anger as she charged.


" All dragons must perish! I will carry out my oath! " she yelled and breathed her twilight flame at Vane as he approached.
 
Vane dodged to the side. "Z-Zoe?!" He called, the attack confirmed what he was doubting. "Come back please!" He pleaded his mate, knowing that she was under the influence of a control spell.
 
" Your pathetic magic has no power here. " bellowed the black dragon as she tried to attack him again. Fury burned in her heart as Punos' magic empowered her " My eyes are open once more, your words will not sway me any more, lizard! "
 
"Curse you Punos..." Vane growled, using an illusion spell to flee, giving him invisibility. He knew he would win the fight but he didn't want to hurt Zoe, even if she was under a spell.
 
She growled in anger as she looked around futilely. She then forces her two forepaws together, unleashing a dampening magic to reveal her foe.


" You hide well, wyrm, but the master's power is limitless. I WILL find you, and I will end you. The hour of darkness is nigh. The time of the Drakians have passed! "


She roared as she unleashed yet an another blast, to surely reveal her opponent, surrounding herself with a protective fire barrier.
 
Vane grunted as a headache went through him, rendering his illusion spell useless. He kept watch of her, panting heavily. He was clearly drain and he couldn't use any more spells now.
 
Her eyes flared as her opponent got revealed and dashed towards him.


" There is no place to hide now! " she roared as she assaulted her opponent with ferocity, mauling at Vane wherever she could. Her claws ripped off his scales as her jaw sunk in his flesh. She fought with the fury of her master and her ferocity combined - even though normally she would not have stood a chance against him his weakened state allowed her the opportunity ti strike.
 
Vane roared in pain, not wanting to fight back and hurt Zoe. "Zoe! Wake up please!" He pleaded, struggling with her attacks. Soon his wings were injured and left him unable to fly, leaving him falling to the ground.
