Empyreal Dragons

The 7 Kingdoms

Ancelin Kingdom

“WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN RYCHARD LEFT!” 

As the reigning King of the Ancelin Kingdom was yelling at the top of his lungs at his lowest mistress, the current Official Queen was smirking while the King yelled at the useless woman. 

The only reason why this lowly mistress woman is still alive is only because she gave birth to a son, the Official Queen thought as she looked at the lowest mistress that was taken in by the King. 

The mistress kept her eyes down on the floor as she remembered how it felt to be beaten by the King for looking into his eyes. As the other 30 women in the room looked at the lowest mistress, the King couldn’t help but sigh as he couldn’t stay mad at her.

After all, she was the only woman to bare him a son and was currently carrying his next son as she was a new pregnant woman. 

“Lowest Mistress Muah, raise your head.” The King said 

Muah, the mother of Prince Rychard, rose her head and moved her eyes to look up at the King. The King couldn’t deny Muah’s beauty, but sadly swore to only stay committed to his Official Wife from now on. 

Muah getting pregnant with a second son wasn’t supposed to happen as the King is now in the dog house by the Official Queen. 

“PUT YOUR HEAD DOWN!” The Official Wife yelled out to Muah 

Muah didn’t flinch at the yelling voice. Muah only kept her eyes focused on the man that she had s*x with 5 weeks ago. 

“My King, Rychard has decided to go to the Lovech Kingdom to aid them in war.” 

GASP!

The whole room started to buzz in shock at Muah’s words. The Ancelin Kingdom was known for their peaceful ways and not stepping into violence, and yet there was Rychard, willingly throwing himself into the battle as he disrespected the traditions that he grew up on. 

The King clenched his jaw in anger. After the near death experience Rychard had, the King was close to losing his only son and he placed Rychard on house arrest for the rest of his life. 

How dare he go behind the King’s back! 

“Did you teach him to do that?” One of the higher mistress asked Muah 

Muah didn’t answer, she only kept her settled eyes on the King. 

“I recommend that you answer Muah. Your silence could be you going against the kingdom.” The Official Wife called out 

“I recommend you keep your mouth shut. I’m not listening to a woman who let her husband cheat on her with 31 women and bare children with them.” Muah replied 

The King simply smirked at Muah’s sharp tongue. Muah’s sharpness is the only reason why the King wanted her to be his mistress. She was smart enough to become the next Queen. 

“HOW DARE Y…”

“SILENCE!” Muah yelled out over her 

The Official Wife widened her eyes in shock as she didn’t know what to say. The other 30 mistresses also looked shocked as they never heard Muah raise her voice before. 

“My son is out there. Your ONLY son my King,” Muah said looking at all of the women inside the room “you better make sure you send help or I will cut off your balls so you won’t have any more sons. Do you understand me?” Muah said fiercely 

The King felt an unsettled rage coming from Muah as he understood what she was saying. Rychard will need help because with the title of Prince, he can only do so much. 

So if I want to have more sons, I most protect my first one at all costs huh? The King thought to himself 

The other mistresses in the room looked at Muah like she was crazy. How could she demand something that crazy from the King and then threaten him! The King doesn’t care for his children. Out of the 31 mistresses that he has, he received one child each from every mistress. 

But, because the mistresses are also cunning and horrible people, the children were dying early as there are only 5 children left. 

The King doesn’t care for his children, he only cares for his Kingdom… 

“I accept! When Rychard gets in contact with you from the Lovech Kingdom, tell him to let me know what he needs and I will provide it.” The King said 

The Official Queen and the 30 mistress looked at the King with deeper shock. Did he just… agree?

“HELIOS!” The Official Queen yelled out 

“SHUT UP! I agreed and I won’t take it back. Muah, make sure that I get the message from Rychard and make sure that you take care of yourself so that my son in your womb currently is delivered safely.” The King said 

His son…?

Every mistress looked at Muah as Muah held her stomach in her hands. She was giving the King yet another heir to the throne… 

“f*****g bitch.” The Official Queen said as she rolled her eyes 

Muah smirked as the King rolled his eyes at the Official Wife. 

Now I just have to wait for Rychard, Muah thought as she rubbed her stomach that had a pillow lying underneath it. 

                             Red Crest Kingdom

“HE KILLED OUR DAUGHTER AARON! OUR FLESH AND BLOOD!”

It was a day break in the palace of the Red Crest Kingdom. Day break that showed Clarissa that it’s been yet another day since her daughter was killed in front of her. 

Anger was stirring within Clarissa. Anger at Joshua, anger at the stupid guard, but mostly… anger at her stupid husband that couldn’t even avenge his daughter. 

Aaron looked at Clarissa as she stood in front of him with her pale skin fuming red in anger and annoyance at his nonchalant attitude that his daughter just died. 

“What do you want me to do?” Aaron asked while looking into Clarissa eyes 

Clarissa felt her body jerk back in shock. Did he really just ask what he should do?

“YOU NEED TO KILL HIM!” Clarissa yelled 

Aaron’s eyes widened as he finally decided to get up out of his bed that he was laying in naked as he hated the thought of clothes. 

Clarissa has been talking out of term for too long, thinking that she was running things and believing that just because I married her that, that gave her something, Aaron thought to him 

Raising his hand up, he struck it across Clarissa’s face as Clarissa fell down from the impact. Clarissa didn’t expect for Aaron to hit her because he has never hit her… ever… 

“W-Wh…” 

“YOU GAVE OUR DAUGHTER TO THAT GUARD! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!” Aaron yelled at Clarissa 

You see, Clarissa’s brain never processed that if she didn’t give her daughter to the guard, that her daughter would still be alive. Her brain mental shut out that information because she didn’t want to blame herself for her own actions or movements. 

She psychologically psyched herself out into believing that she did nothing wrong because her denial was just that strong. The human brain is capable of lying to itself when forced into dramatic situations that could mentally ruin the soul of a person, which is why Clarissa’s brain separated her from reality as she was forced to get over her daughter’s death that she caused. 

The human brain is fragile… Just like the heart, if the organ is under enough pressure, it will snap and defy the will of what the human will want it to do. Causing brain injuries and other underlying issues… 

Clarissa only looked at the ground as Aaron rolled his eyes. 

We’ve been wasting too much time, Aaron thought to himself. 

“WARRIORS! BRING JOSHUA AND ESTER TO THE BATTLE TABLE NOW!”

Aaron was tired of people bossing him around. The death of his daughter didn’t impact him like how it impacted Clarissa. Aaron never wanted that baby to begin with, so to see that annoying baby gone out of a sight was helpful to him. 

But, Aaron was at least respectful enough to tell the Kingdom about the death of Princess Andrea as the Kingdom is preparing to mourn over the death of the Princess that wasn’t meant to be born, but was a blessing to everyone.

But the thing that’s been clouding over Aaron’s mind was how to string two head strong people into his plan while using their defenses to fight for his kingdom. 

Joshua won’t do anything without a major gain, and Ester won’t do it without se…

THAT’S IT! THAT’S HOW AARON WILL MAKE THIS PLAN WORK!

Clarissa looked at her stupid husband as Aaron had a evil smile on his face. It was the same smile he had when he killed Reyna… 

So does that mean that he’s going to kill me next? Clarissa thought to herself 

Wanting to leave this kingdom now more than ever, Clarissa was ready to see Eva and speak to her about the movement that she wishes to follow. The plan of trying to get Joshua to kill Aaron and then Dragnior kills Joshua as Clarissa will be the one seeing all her hated people die. 

It was a smart plan that needed help, but her help was Eva as Eva once mentioned to Clarissa that if she ever wanted to ruin Aaron, she would know where to find her. 

I have to get out of this palace, Clarissa thought while still holding onto her cheek. 

Aaron was oblivious to his wife’s thought process as he was ready to use Joshua and Ester to his advantage.

Knock Knock! 

Hearing a heavy knock on his bedroom door, Aaron moved his eyes to look over at the door. Glaring down at Clarissa for a split second, Aaron opened his mouth to answer. 

“Enter!” Aaron yelled 

As the door opened, you could see the shininess of a bald head as Commander Lucas walts his way into the bedroom of the Red Crest King. Lucas looked from Aaron to Clarissa as he could see Clarissa crying while holding her now bruised cheek. 

“My King, I gathered Joshua and Ester at the Battle Table.”’ Lucas said 

Aaron sighed in relief. At least someone was helpful. 

“Thank you Commander Lucas, let us go.” Aaron replied 

As Aaron moved his feet to leave the room, Lucas turned his attention to the stupid Clarissa on the floor. As Aaron left out of his room with his presence leaving the two people alone, Lucas moved his body over to Clarissa and bent down to his knees to reach her level. 

“You know, I do hope that the spy you sent to the Lovech Kingdom makes it,” Lucas said and Clarissa turned her eyes onto him quickly “it would be a shame to seek help and the other person never receives it.” 

Clarissa clenched her teeth. 

“What the f**k did you do!” Clarissa yelled 

“Oh nothing, just thought that I would give you some advice, since you were stupid enough to speak your plans out loud in public.” 

Commander Lucas smiled at Clarissa as he rose back onto his feet. Smiling at the feeling of a win, Lucas was now walking away from Clarissa as Clarissa now only had one thought in her head. 

I need to ruin the Red Crest Kingdom…

                          Lovech Kingdom 

“Excuse me… a war? What makes you think that our Kingdom could be going into a war?” 

Reyna moved her eyes to look over at a concerned Syrah as Syrah wasn’t usually one to speak on political terms. She was but a servant that protected Zahn and Dragnior, one would never see Syrah asking questions about the protection of the entire Kingdom. 

“While I was sleeping I saw Queen Irma and it felt like I received a vision from that dream,” Reyna spoke as she chose her words carefully since Eva was also inside of the meeting room with them “I was guided under the underlying message in my dream that King Aaron knows what this kingdom truly harbors and that he is coming to claim the treasure to be his.” 

Reyna was prepared, prepared and more ready than she’s ever been as she felt her body rushing with emotions. Ever since last night with Reyna and Dragnior making love, Reyna felt on top of the world as she only had one more thing to do. Erase Aaron from the face of this world. 

Earlier this morning, Dragnior surprised Reyna by telling her that he set up a meeting for the war topic. Dragnior invited everyone within the kingdom that he felt like needed to know this information as 5 men with the title of Commander came into the room. 

Apparently, Commander Lucas isn’t the only commander that was put into place by Dragnior. Dragnior had back up helping him just in case something like this would happen. Dragnior was a smart man indeed as he didn’t leave his Kingdom under the hands of a man that he could not trust with his life. 

Reyna noticed this and smiled, but before Reyna was about to speak, she saw her mother’s face. 

Reyna hasn’t really seen Eva face ever since the day that she woke up. That day when Reyna saw her mother crying and the day that Eva saw what Reyna’s body really contained and had within it. Reyna was becoming more of a monster. 

Eva didn’t know how to talk to her daughter after that night, but she knew that one day she would have to. She would have to talk about how she saw something that shook her so badly that she couldn’t even look at her own daughter, which is why Reyna was now frowning. 

Frowning because Eva was looking pale and avoiding her gaze, Reyna could only swallow her sadness as she only wanted to see her mother’s eyes once more. But she knew that her mother didn't want to and decided to leave it alone. 

“How are we going to protect these treasures? Don’t we need aided forces to help us?” One commander called out 

Dragnior nodded his head at his commander’s question. 

“Not only will we need forces to help us, we will also need to figure out what Kingdoms we can trust. For we cannot disclose our secrets and trades.” Dragnior replied 

Everyone in the room nodded their head in agreement. But the only underlying issue that came into the motion of question was, no one knew what Kingdom they wanted to contact and ask them to join in the fight for honor over the Lovech Kingdom dragons. 

Between the 7 Kingdoms that shape the world into what they are today, there are only so many of the Kingdoms that you can actually ask for help.

...

The 7 Kingdoms… 

Starting with the weakest Kingdom to rule the lands, there is the Ancelin Kingdom, located in the Northern Region. 

The kingdom is known for their loving and undying will to protect a useless and simple word called peace. The Kingdom was once a kingdom of war and honor, but once the King finally had his first son Prince Rychard, the rules and traditions changed so that the King will have a secure heir in the future that won’t die. 

The King has plenty of war weapons and equipment locked away, but he will refuse to participate himself, which will lead the Lovech Kingdom to have one less ally that understands war and gains. 

Through the forest and past the hills of the Western Region sitting on the border of the Western Region and the Northern Region was the Grainiel Kingdom. 

The Grainiel Kingdom in the North-Western Region was a large populated kingdom but their people only specialized in trades and making weapons, which made their people weak as they lost the need to learn combat. The kingdom doesn’t actually have the physical manpower to fight in a war and they’ve been trying to recover from when their kingdom was almost close to being wiped out after the last war that they had. 

Now moving over to the strong Kingdoms, you are have Rohan Empire, previous named the Rohan Kingdom that is located in the Center of everything, has a new stupid Emperor ruling over them and that man doesn’t believe in help without benefitting trade. 

Trade that could consist of him cutting off your head and adding to his collection of skulls as he tries to physically understand what is in a person’s brain. The new Emperor was a man of newly discovered questions that could potentially lead to a new world, the new Emperor was learning the meaning of what he would like to call “philosophy”. 

It was taught to him by his previous Master as “philosophy” became the Emperor’s sole meaning in life. To discover and understand more beyond the human anatomy and the aspects behind the brain that questions logic. And because he dedicates his life to books, it would be hard to ask him to join in the fight. 

Being third strongest within the Kingdoms, the Ahasteen Kingdom located in the Southern Region, holds a man whose name will simply run shivers down your spine as he was a brutal man that didn’t care for anyone. 

Dragnior clenched his teeth hard as he realized that the Ahasteen Kingdom holds a man who doesn’t deserve to be living after what he forced his daughter to do. 

King Joshua chose to send his daughter into Dragnior’s palace as a spy with the intentions of killing him, so it was also in Joshua's head that she wouldn’t succeed against a strong war hero as Rubian is now dead. 

The Ahasteen Kingdom was a part of King Aaron in the aid of help… 

Coming in as second strongest, in the Eastern Region, there is a kingdom with a population of 90 percent of men and 10 percent of women, the Eingana Kingdom. 

Dragnior blew out a hot puff from his nose as he hated the Eingana Kingdom way more than the Ahasteen Kingdom. The Eingana Kingdom was the kingdom that forced Dragnior to kill his siblings in cold blood at a young age… such a young age… simply to protect his mother and father… he ended up becoming a f*****g monster. 

The Eingana is known for their foundational witch skills as black magic controls them to sell their soul to a demon to require eternal life and power, but that power can also backfire as the demon could choose to go rampage and end up killing the person. 

The Eignana Kingdom was dangerous and Dragnior knew that all too well first hand. 

And the strongest Kingdom within the 7 Kingdoms was the Lovech Kingdom located in the Western Region… Lovech Kingdom was the strongest of course because it had dragons and it’s own magic that protected its city from being able to be seen through the eyes of a stranger. 

...

“We will reach out to the weaker ones.” Reyna called out as everyone looked at each other around the room 

“Weaker?” A commander called out “We would die if we have weak men. We need strong me…”

“Don’t you think that Aaron is out there picking the strong ones? He knows who he is up against in this fight. Everyone knows that Drey isn’t weak and that these walls hold more power than anyone could imagine. Our best bet are the weak ones.” 

Eva understood where her daughter was coming from, but it didn’t help the fact that those weaker kingdoms would need a serious amount of help just to simply receive just enough man power to hold back 50 men, let alone thousands of them. 

“So what can we do?” Zahn little voice called out 

Zahn has been expressing himself a lot more lately as he seemed to mature at a fast growing rate. With his brain now focusing on what his title of Prince actually meant, Zahn has been very diligent in his learning and studies. 

“Well, for starters, we need to make a plan. We don’t know how far the Red Crest Kingdom got in their strategies to kill us, so we need to start preparing for the worst to come.” Reyna replied 

One of the commanders in the room rolled his eyes in annoyance. 

“Excuse me King Dragnior,” The commander said grabbing his King’s attention 

Dragnior looked over at the commander as the man slightly bowed his head down to his superior. 

“I may say, but how can we base this whole war conception on the fact that Miss Reyna had a dream? Is a dream enough to lose lives and possible Kingdom connections?” The commander asked 

Everyone in the room went silent. Zahn's eyes were now gold at the anger that was rushing through his blood. Did he just accuse my mother of being crazy and making up this whole war scheme?! 

Ms. Syrah felt her heart thump in annoyance as she wanted to rip the man’s throat out for even assuming that Queen Reyna was making this s**t up. 

Eva… although hasn’t even looked into her daughter’s eyes after the situation, she was ready to protect her only cub with the life of her as she felt her hand shaking with the intentions of grabbing the knife that was laid in her bra under her light dress and stabbing the knife in the man’s heart. 

James simply looked at the man as his hair started moving heavy in it’s own wind. Not even knowing that he became defensive about his Queen, James was ready to strike at once. 

And Dragnior… Dragnior simply looked at the man amused as he could smell the hostility in the room from everyone. He was happy that everyone loved their Queen so much, but angry that a man could even question his other half. 

“HOW DA…” 

“BOW DOWN TO ME COMMANDER!” 

As the commander was stuck processing what this random woman just said to him, the commander’s body willingly obeyed it’s superior as the commander’s bones shifted their positions to forcefully make him bow down. 

As his bones cracked easily from it’s own internal damage because the owner didn’t want to bow, the commander suddenly yelled as he felt pain rushing through his body. With his muscles ripping their own fiber strains to make sure that Reyna’s orders were perfected, the commander kept yelling out in more pain. 

Everyone in the room started to stare in horror, especially Eva. 

This was the reason why Eva couldn’t be around Reyna anymore, because she was becoming the monster that she was meant to be due to overloading stress and confusion. 

As Zahn watched the commander fall down onto his shattered knees, he slowly started to smile at the sounds of the man yelling… that’s what the hell he gets, Zahn thought as he thought about how he could’ve had the power to kill people with words. 

As if there was a whirl wool of wind meant to be there, there was a huge applied pressure hitting the back of the commander’s head as the commander could feel his skull trying to isolate itself from his body so that it could bow down. 

Giving in to the horrible pain, the commander stopped fighting the invisible force as his head harshly banged itself against the floor of the Lovech palace. With blood spilling on the floor from the commander’s bowed head, Eva frowned and looked away from the hideous sight. 

“You dare to question me?” Reyna asked as she could feel anger rushing through her 

“M-Miss.” One of the other commander’s called out 

Reyna raised her right hand to silence the man as she kept her eyes on the fool on the floor. 

“I understand that I have not been here long for you to know who I am. I understand that, but instead of claiming me to be f*****g crazy, how about you brush yourself up on facts.” 

Dragnior smiled slightly at his Queen. 

“She’s right about the war. I have spies placed all around the Red Crest Kingdom and they are telling me about King Aaron wanting dragons from this palace. He received the intel from a commander of his side of the field.” 

Reyna looked over at who spoke out and saw her mother looking at the man on the floor. Reyna smiled as she hadn't heard her mother’s voice since last night. As Eva moved her eyes over to her daughter, Reyna smiled and Eva quickly looked away from the monster she was looking at. 

Reyna’s smile slowly removed itself from her face. 

“I am sorry. Release.” Reyna called out 

With the invisible spell breaking itself after hearing the word “Release”, the commander on the floor sighed deeply as he know longer felt controlled. Controlled by a woman who almost ripped his head off from one damn word! 

“Get this asshole out of the room and into the damn doctors! NOW!” Dragnior yelled out 

The other 4 commanders in the room nodded their head nervously as they rushed to the side of the injured commander who wouldn't stop crying from the pain. Reyna felt sudden pity as she didn’t mean to hurt anyone, she was just overcome with rage and anger at the thought of someone believing that she was crazy. 

Why did I do that, Reyna thought to herself 

Reyna mentally didn’t know why she did it, but her body knew why. Reyna’s heart that stopped beating since the day she changed into the supreme being knew why, but it was all up to Reyna to figure it out.
