CHAPTER V: TRUTHS OF VICTORY (1)
Xavier and Rita continued to meet at night in the hidden passageways of the sanctuary. They started spending a lot of time together and they both felt that childhood chemistry of being best friends. But since they were children they never had a romantic approach, it was only best friends. Now as adults with 24-25 years they were getting along very well and romantically and several years passed without being able to do anything. One night Ceres saw them, sitting talking with fruits around them and later Ceres told Rita not to get involved in that that would bring him problems for being a married man. Rita tells Ceres not to f**k around. A few months later, she and Xavier fight, the fight causes tension and they end up making love.
Duquel had sentenced his son to exile upon learning of the resignation. But when the report reaches the kings, the information arrives that Gloten had been killed by Xavier. For which he was blamed for two murders and a renunciation of royalty. King Duke condemns him to hang. But he was inside Aramordt and had to request authorization to hang him. At that time the highest ranking officer in Aramordt was Ceres. But she was hanging out with a group of professionals, watching the broadcast of the events of Argon, Leyra, Eros and Ivonne within Oasis. This was allowed by Ivonne through wave zero.
When Rita and Xavier make love, Xavier got to thinking that he was never really given a choice. He thought that he and Rita could never go on, that most likely if he had been given a choice he would have gone on with her, not Thea. He then left and told Thea that he renounced his marriage and his royal status, that he loved his son very much but he was not going to continue living a falsehood and a lie. And then Thea fainted, she began to have a respiratory arrest, Xavier ran out and after a while his brother arrived. Her brother had been in love with Thea since the day they were put to choose, and he was envious and angry at Xavier for belittling her. Thea was deeply in love with Xavier, and she had already told her brother.
When the brother arrives, Thea is about to die, which alerts Eremo and Eremeo informs King Duquel of his son's resignation. Thea is deeply upset and after a while, Gloten's brother went to confront Xavier. He confronted him with swords and Xavier defended himself, killing him. With this murder, Xavier decides to flee the Kingdom and hide in the Arcuri forest.
When the King Duke and King Eremeo arrive at the Sacred Council. This ceres sitting on a small throne and this rita on another small throne to the right hand of her. The Duke King comes to request permission to execute Xavier. What Ceres tells them is that she is not going to get involved in that, that this is her son, it is her town. And that she didn't have time for that. And let him decide, and Rita interferes and tells him that she can still do something. Duquel gets upset and tells him that he respects that she is part of the situation too.
Rita tells Ceres to consider this, to allow him into exile and to leave but not to kill him. That of the gallows can harm us socially. And Ceres tells him that since when has she cared about the social? I told you to stay away from that, that it was going to bring you problems. You sent me plv and I didn't tell you anything. Now that guy is in trouble with his marriage, which surely you have to do with it and you want me to solve it for you. I already told you I'm not going to get into that, that's her son and whoever decides what he wants to do. After that Xavier spent 3 nights in Arcuri. And the first two nights he spent with Rita, they made love again.
Our warriors are being defeated, in which case the entire empire is on fire and collapsing. Only Leyra remains, around a defeated Argon (she had been converted by herself into a half-dragon, half-human warrior), Hera in the form of a dragon and her three remaining children of her triplets with 6 years (the 3 oldest died). Hera then accepts the reality of death and tells her mother that she is ready to die with her family, but Leyra is not going to give up. She decides to cast a transfusion spell between the beings present. She draws the blood of Argon, Hera and the triplets from her.
The spell consisted of exchanging the material energy of each being with the other. With Hera's blood, she cast a spell to convert the triplets into young dragons. With the blood of the triplets, he turned Argon's material energy into a human baby again (again blocking the spell Leyra had unlocked from Wiz that condemned Argon to have dragon blood and essence but in human form) and with the Argon's blood cast the conversion spell to half dragon and half human but this time to Hera. That is, the spell consisted of all beings exchanging physical states with each other, orchestrated by Leyra.
But the spell does not have such effective results, the only one that manages to be done clearly is Hera, transforming into Erin (her human form), but still having the possibility of transforming into a golden dragon. The triplets seem to have died and are still children and Argon manages to become a baby. Erin can hug her mother as a human for the first time and cries with emotion, Leyra then tells Erin that there is not much time left, she must save her father and her sisters, we must get them out of the place and take Argon to a safe place to that can be protected and nurtured.
Just when Leyra is organizing this, the ground where she is collapses and falls into the abyss of the forest below the mountain where the empire is, Erin screams for her mother and cannot find her, that is when Erin will explode and lose control of his power again, when two dragons appear out of nowhere and are apparently the only survivors. These two dragons ask her that they need instructions and a leader, who can guide them in the face of this catastrophe and see how to survive their king and her children.
The dragons make Erin see reason, who manages to hold her own and understand that the most she wanted from her mother was this. Unable to guarantee that she is dead and must make a decision to either rescue her mother or save her family, Erin then instructs the two dragons named Bongo and Coelum to take her father in a basket and take the southwestern tracks away to reaching a region of agriculture and a village to leave her father with a healthy family in a safe place and ensure his survival, Erin would take her brothers, who the spell was already beginning to take effect, through the northeast facing the beings Facing him in her Metosian form (half-dragon, half-human) in those brief moments.
Erin was Kepler's most powerful being, using her father's sword along with his golden dragon energy and interspersing her physical dragon and being states. human at convenience. Her body was a moldable matter and she exterminated everything in her path, but the environment was extremely hostile having her brothers in the queue protecting them, her objective was not to destroy all beings, but to open a path to escape . She succeeds, and when she has enough room she becomes a supreme gold dragon, and she runs away from her with her siblings totally injured and attacked.
She then arrives at the raised cave in the high mountain regions, where she once saw herself transformed into a dragon. When she arrives she is about to die, but she arrives with the triplets safe and sound and turned into young dragons. It is then that her sister Ceres approaches her and cries for her state, but Hera consoles her and gives her all her golden energy, since Ceres was going to be the next Golden Dragon, the empire of millennia was being transferred to her and she would be the new protectara queen, along with her two brothers. The empire consisted of three Dragons, the last three of the race, since the energy of the last two surviving dragons that had to take baby Argon to a safe place was not felt, putting in doubt the survival of this and surely indicating the death of both dragons, at the time for unknown reasons.
Hera then by transferring all the golden essence of her, returns to Erin's natural state of her, of being human. Erin gives the dragon blessing to the three, and indicates to Ceres that she must mobilize since she must find out if her father really arrived well, if her mother is alive and there is a hope of rebuilding the family again, since it is the family. real and necessary for the protection of Kepler. Ceres does not want to abandon her sister, but she feels the responsibility of the Golden Dragon and
The King Duquel knew that Xavier was in Arcuri. He made several expeditions during the day and could not find it, so it occurred to him to leave a troop sleeping on day 2 of the search and pretend that other troops were coming. And at night waiting for Rita and Xavier to meet at the springs to catch him. However, they had the inconvenience of Rita so Duque was being part of the plan.
