A secret as silent as a meteor;
Hidden behind a hooded cloth;
Nobody can feel the pain either;
For they wouldn’t truly be taught.

He hides with swears behind his back;
Wearing a mask to shadow the harsh;
All of his limbs are yet still intact;
With his family as blind as a marsh.

Betrayal is off of bloodline;
For it is a true sin;
But for an action so kind;
Why won’t they forgive him?

Of kings that smile;
Or conquer with praise;
A new familiar born child;
Or an old dragon gray.

Conquer
Fire parts, letting me make my way through
I watch as towns and cities crumble before me
Towns that were once ruled by kings and queens
I am their end
Of kings that smile or conquer
I am the latter

Questions Asked and Answered

((Oh gosh, this post just made me laugh. I can't shake the image from my mind of a Snapper rushing up to Tenebris'Cor like some crazy reporter and peppering him with questions. I might need to start making Tenebris'Cor off limits though. Too many questions get thrown his way when I have other dragons that would benefit from questions more lol. You're good though, I'll write up an answer to this one.))



Tension was so thick that a knife could cut it as the crystalline hall fell silent. The eyes of other dragons watched on, some with horror, others with pity, and a few with malicious glee. An eerie sound of scraping metal on crystal echoed throughout the large hall. The source of it was Tenebris'Terra's tail. Her tail was adorned with a nasty golden chain lined with spiked barbs cunningly disguised into the gold beads. Her eyes gleamed with an angry green fire. She curled her lips and at last a harsh snort blasted from her flared nostrils.

Tenebris'Terra tossed her head and roared to several clan dragons in the hall. "Who let this fool into our presence?! Find Audens'Cor Ladarius and bring him here! Better yet, summon his entire Day's Watch!"

The dragons in the hall scattered into the tunnels. Their furious pawsteps created a chaotic cadence that seemed to amuse Tenebris'Terra.

Her lips curled into a vicious sneer. She affixed her gaze onto the fool that approached her husband. Her jaws opened to speak to her husband, but something gave her pause.

There was a subtle droning sound, as if something was being drained from the crystalline main hall. Mage lights, once bright and merry, flickered and died one by one. The pink walls, once so bright, seemed to lose all rosy hue to be replaced by dark and eerie onyx.

The only light that remained, either spilled in from the yawning cave mouth that marked the threshold into the main hall, and Tenebris'Cor's mask. Like spectral motes, the six points of ghastly light darted under the shifting hood. At last, a horrid rasp filled the chamber when Tenebris'Cor opened his jaws to speak.

"And what right do you have stranger to barge into my home and hurl... Judgement? Do you think you are immune? Simply because you hail from afar?"

A wretched laugh, soft at first that grew into a fit of mocking cackles split the hall.

Tenebris’Cor’s fell voice continued. “Is it cruel to expect community members to pull their weight? To contribute to the welfare of their society? And what praise does laziness deserve? Nothing! It is simple. One reaps what one sows.”

A rumbling purr emanated from Tenebris’Cor’s core. The glittering eyes of his mask disappeared as he melted into the darkness. There was only a faint rustle of cloth and clink of metal chains in the chamber before a harsher bellowing of arguing dragons heralded the arrival of two dragons. Stood at the entrance to the hall was a male Gaoler of crimson and white fur. His grand antlers regally captured the sunlight before he was harshly pushed into the main hall by the other dragon, a female Guardian of titanic proportions and ghastly appearances. She looked like plague incarnate, a cruelty glittered in her violet eyes.

Claws scraping on the floor, the Gaoler straightened himself and seemed to hone in on Tenebris’Cor where he stood in the chamber.

Tenebris’Cor hissed, “The punishment befits the crime. Insubordination and rebellion are tantamount to treason. But there is normally never just one bad actor in such cases.”

The Gaoler produced a low growl. “You would know, cousin.”

A derisive snort answered. “As by the law set by the Great Mother and Great Father, I ascended the throne by rite of combat. I bested the named successor and the Patriarch at the time and rightfully took my place. There are those, like Captain Ladarius here, that sow malcontent and try to subvert my rule out of jealousy.”

Ladarius spat, “There was no formal declaration! You took advantage of your father’s coup!”

Tenebris’Cor chuckled. “All of the theatrics is tiresome. If you want to be Patriarch so bad Ladarius, challenge my named successor and then challenge me. Again. Yet, I find myself annoyed and irritable. This is the seventeenth time you’ve allowed intruders into my midst Ladarius. All my patience and magnanimity has frayed. Punishing you has seemed to not get the message across. Although I am loathe to deny my wife that joy.”

Ladarius curled his lip.

Tenebris’Cor’s voice echoed with authority. “Bring those Gaoler whelps to Titan’s Rest. It’s time the punishment befit the crime AND the individual.”

Ladarius snarled and launched at Tenebris’Cor, “You snake!”

The grisly Guardian from before tackled Ladarius before he could reach Tenebris’Cor. The chamber erupted into dragons roaring in dismay and anger. The dark Skydancer was already fading away again. “You only have yourself to blame Ladarius. Well, and the stranger here. They are the one that questioned my methods. What better way than a demonstration? Ha! I love multi-tasking!”
