Thread: The Root of Knowledge (Cheeky_Cherry & Greeneyed23)

I do not mind. Still it is interesting that a Captain technically outranks a General. Its very interesting. He sighed and continued walking right into the palace itself. All of Exatochl was cheering for the Souled and the Egg as they went into the Jade Throneroom, an exquisitely carved cavern of the green stone filled with bright sunlight from the many arching windows filled with gorgeous pieces of stained glass artwork. King Kham and Queen Jeen were waiting patiently in their ruby and sapphire thrones respective while the Welded Crowns, sat upon their heads. these were a collection of nine crowns that had once belonged to the nine states of the human lands but when the clan wars had ended the had been forced together then welded as one thus making them both ugly yet somehow beautiful with nine different metals and a more than a hundred different stones mixed in both. They were distant cousins in the long line of the first rulers of humanity but unlike many royals they truly loved each other. Kham was still young, only twenty one and Jeen a year younger, and very pregnant with their first child. Kham had come to the throne in the same war Argentum and her brother had earned their ranks and had only been in it for two years now as his father had died in the war, his mother having predeceased them both. The Souled marched up to the center of the room, a bright starspot in the stone, and knelt. I am grateful for your kindness Your Graces. Before they could respond he swung the pack around and quickly lay the egg on the spot stepping away. Eggshells typically indicate the color of the Draagon within but not always. Such as now. The moment the Souled had stepped back a large crack had formed then an orange taloned claw had punched through the shell. Everyone was silent as slowly the small but already growing orange Dragon broke free of it's egg. It looked around and bowed to his courier who nodded back, then turned it's solid blue eyes upon the Royals. She opened her mouth and spoke. Your Graces. I am Firedim. And I have come because your land is in danger. My Master will explain. The Souled did not react for a long moment but then slowly pushed back his sleeves revealing his jet black scaled hands then slowly pushed his hood back revealing a head that was both human but reptile, with no nose but small slits, but possessing lips, while having no ears and three larges horns coming back from his face, while from the horns placement, at the crown of his head, into his robes was thick black Dragon hair. His eyes were the usual odd arrangement with slitted pupils going up and down but were also a brilliant emerald green. His neck was broad and he smiled. Just from seeing him Kham knew who he was. Lord Tirn Dragonblood. Tirn was an ancient Dragon. Technically he was not a Souled as he only barely resembled a human and was far more Dragon. He had been born from the first Dragons during the time of Creation and was the world's first Shapeshifter. He could become this current state and eh could become an actual full Dragon. His history was long but much of it secret due to what many claimed he had done. He bowed to them again. Your Graces. Fate has not been kind. The Orcs and Dwarves had again gone to war. And this time they are converging on your lands which they wish for themselves. the Elves have also begun their own civil war which is threatening to spill into the Valley and into the land of the Amshir who are very angry indeed. And all because of these mad bandits were are killing everyone. Firedim spokes. Your Graces we must hunt down these bandits and kill them. But you also must seek peace before the land erupts into a total war. This had never happened though certainly it had come close many times and only been stopped by severe risk and often great sacrifices. Many by the Dragons and Lord Tirn himself.
