The Seven Throne

Old Story

"Let's start the story from the beginning."

We moved rooms, sat facing each other in front of a round table.

Sloth began to speak.

"But before that, let Pride's sister tell the story. I'm really lazy to tell at length"

"Uh, you are very unreliable under these circumstances. But fine, I don't mind"

I tried to listen carefully.

"A long time ago, we did not live in this world. But from another realm, it was a world where creatures called 'Gods' lived. Daddy had a position of God of Creation, then Daddy had us as children."

That's interesting, I like concepts like 'Gods'. That proves they have extraordinary strength and superior beings.

The Holy Temple also worshiped God, precisely the Light Goddess, Atria. They believe that white and light are the sacred symbols and blessings of the Light Goddess.

"At that time we were not Sinner Dragons, but Heavenly Dragons. We were contaminated by Evil God, then expelled to the world and cannot return"

So the point is this happened because of the dispute between the Gods huh. Then why did I come down to the world?

"Father was forced to make a pact with the Gods to save us. Besides Dad, there were also friends who came down to the world. We don't know where they are now. It has been two thousand years and we are still waiting, finally, father returned"

"Father must return to the God Realm and take position of God Father"

I'm still trying to deal with the crisis in this world. My strength is not enough to fight the Gods. If it was true I was the God of Creation, I need to restore my strength.

"What agreement did I make?"

"We don't know about that because we have been banished to the world, You also never told us about it. Maybe father friend who came down knows something. We need to look for them, but because we are considered a threat, we cannot investigate several places."

"Despite being in human form?"

"Changing our form does not mean eliminating our aura, our aura is very easily recognized as a Sinner Dragon. What's more, it's impossible to hide the truth from the sight of the Holy Temple. They will soon find out if we come closer"

No wonder you guys waited so long. Sorry to keep you waiting.

So, I need to find those who used to be close to me. But how do I search for them without the slightest clue? I lost my memory, I can't recognize them without memory.

"Do you know the reason for my memory loss?"

Pride bowed her beautiful face, looking slightly apologetic. The answer seems to be 'no'.

I tried to look at the others, they also bowed their heads without saying anything.

Well, I guess that can't be avoided. I was separated from them for a long time.

Oh, wait ... Didn't I wake up in the forest close to the Kingdom of Alvion? Why didn't Sloth realize my existence for two thousand years?

"I woke up in the forest of the Alvion kingdom not long ago. Aren't all of you aware? Especially Sloth is the closest location"

Sloth turned his face which was soaked in a cold sweat.

They all looked at Sloth full of anger.

"Sloth, I know you're lazy, but try to look for daddy!"

"It's seems fun lazy without helping us"

"You bastard! It turns out you've been lying all this time"

"Looks like I have to take my treasure back from you."

"Give back the food I gave you as a reward!"

"Even though I've done enough to help you. Very selfless!"

Sloth received continuous invective. He did not even move to reply to their words.

"Please wait, I can explain. During this time the region was always surrounded by strange powers that made me unable to get close, even I did not know what was in it"

Well, hopefully, it's not just an excuse to run away.

"Do you know the Golden Dragon Emperor?"

"No, we don't know that name. Even among the dragons and beasts, there is no such thing as a Golden Dragon Emperor."

That's strange, then what exactly is this golden dragon dagger of mine if the Golden Dragon Emperor is as people say. Who created it?

They say that the Gods seal their power.

Wait, if it has to do with Gods, maybe this dagger really has a close connection with me. If this is all a lie, then what is the truth? I began to doubt this legend myself.

"Alright, I think it's time to go back"

Wrath stood up spontaneously in response to my words.

"Wait, aren't you living with us?"

Well, I might understand a little about Wrath's feelings who haven't seen me for a long time and I have to leave again.

I smiled softly, "Stupid boy, you all are adults, you can take care of yourself. I must return soon, otherwise, they might think I was killed"

Even though I say that, Wrath looks a little disappointed.

"Take it easy, when the time comes, I will stay with you guys again. Maybe in the near future. Until then, get ready to face humans once more"

My ability as a Necromancer has been awakened. If it's true as they say, sooner or later the Holy Temple will soon come after me.

And I need to find out more information about this Golden Dragon Emperor legend. Maybe I will start by asking the Empress.

"Sloth, let's go back"

My body and Sloth returned to the light, we returned to the altar in the center of the park at next moment.

When I returned, Lisa hurried over to me.

"Are you alright?"

"Relax, he didn't hurt me"

Even though Lisa seemed relieved, I felt something was off. Arvan, Rayford, and Grayford were with them, even though they were missing just a moment ago.

"How did they get back?"

"You mean Arvan and the others? They said they were separated from us and rushed over the road that Sania made"

Somehow I could not believe the story. Even though it sounded quite reasonable, it felt strange they could catch up if they got lost in a very thick fog.

"Then, let's go back"

"Wait, how about the dragon?"

"He will not attack unless disturbed. We need to report this so that the kingdom of Alvion does not move carelessly approaching this place"

We all decided to go back and report that this task was completed, for the time being.

After arriving at the palace and reporting. We are allowed to rest.

I lay on my bed while thinking back to the information I received.

I need to find out the origin of this Golden Dragon Emperor legend and be careful to Holy Temple.

There was a knock from behind the door.

"Alif, the Holy Shrine invites you to a dinner tonight"

Why does it have to be now?

"Tell them that I can't come"

"As you wish"

The sound of footsteps moving away from behind the door.

What is clear, right now I have to minimize contact with the holy temple as much as possible.

...

Holy Temple courtyard of the Alvion Kingdom.

The night is illuminated by light from the lights that enliven the atmosphere. The tables are neatly arranged and nicely decorated.

The chef are busy preparing meals.

Guests and important people of the Kingdom of Alvion sat together in joy.

Goudon sat at the main table with the prince and the candidates, and several chairs that appeared to be still empty.

From inside the Temple building, an old man in a white robe walked assisted with a stick in his hand. Behind him, people with quite important positions in the Holy Temple followed him.

Just by looking at it, everyone knows that the old man has the highest position among the others.

Goudon stood up from his seat and welcomed the man.

"Head Temple, thank you for inviting us at this event."

The man called the Head Temple smiled thinly with his hunched posture.

"Welcome Your Highness, please sit down and enjoy this party."

Goudon sat down again, the man also took the empty space beside Goudon.

The man looked at Lisa and the others who were in front of him.

"Thank you for your efforts to maintain this peace. Forgive us for only being able to reply to this extent."

The man said it very politely. They looked at the old man with respect.

"We are also grateful for being invited to this event"

The dining table is filled with laughter and light conversation. Not long after it, a variety of processed meat and vegetable foods were available on the dining table.

Before everyone began to enjoy the meal, the Head Temple said a few words.

"Tonight we are blessed with peace and light that guides the truth. May those who are killed on the battlefield be guided by the light of holiness. Here we share the happiness thanks to the candidates of the Seven Kings. Let's toast and start the entertainment."

The light is raised, the music starts playing. Everyone eats calmly in the light.
