"RESTORING THE BALANCE"
Lord Arin made his way to the Order of the Griffin, the military force of the Amsterdam family. As the new family head, he was also the leader of the Order.
The Order of the Griffin was made up of the best and bravest soldiers in the land. They were fierce warriors, skilled in both magic and combat, and they had a reputation for being unbeatable on the battlefield.
Lord Arin was proud of the Order and he knew that they were a vital part of the family's success. He wanted to visit them to show his support and to discuss their plans for the future.
When he arrived at the Order's headquarters, he was greeted by the captain of the guard, a stern-looking man named Sir Robert. Sir Robert had been with the Order for many years and he was one of Lord Arin's most trusted advisors.
"Lord Arin, welcome to the Order of the Griffin," Sir Robert said, bowing respectfully.
"Thank you, Captain. I wanted to speak with you about our plans for the future," Lord Arin replied.
Sir Robert led Lord Arin to the main hall, where the soldiers were training. They were practicing their swordplay and their magic, and Lord Arin watched them with admiration.
"These soldiers are the best in the land," Sir Robert said. "But we always need to be prepared for any threat that may come our way."
Lord Arin nodded in agreement. "I know that we have some new recruits who are in training. How are they doing?"
"They are doing well, my Lord. They are strong and eager to learn. I believe that they will make fine soldiers."
As Lord Arin and Sir Robert were discussing the future expansion of their land, a guard rushed in with an urgent report.
"Lord Arin, Captain, there's been a monster attack in one of the villages nearby!" the guard exclaimed, out of breath.
Lord Arin and Sir Robert exchanged a worried glance. Monster attacks were not uncommon, but they needed to act quickly to protect their people.
"Get the soldiers ready," Lord Arin ordered. "We're heading to the village immediately."
The soldiers quickly assembled and Lord Arin led them to the village, with Zephyr flying overhead to provide aerial support.
As they arrived at the village, they could see that it had been badly damaged. The villagers were huddled together in fear, with some of them injured from the attack.
Lord Arin and his soldiers sprang into action, engaging the monsters in battle. They fought with all their might, their swords and magic spells striking down the beasts one by one.
Despite their best efforts, the monsters proved to be formidable foes, and some of the soldiers were injured in the fight.
But Lord Arin refused to give up. With the help of Zephyr and the remaining soldiers, they finally managed to defeat the last of the monsters.
Lord Arin then turned his attention to the wounded villagers. He instructed the soldiers to provide medical aid and to help rebuild the damaged homes.
As the villagers began to feel safe again, Lord Arin approached them and spoke with them, reassuring them that the Amsterdam family would always be there to protect them.
As Lord Arin surveyed the damage and comforted the villagers, he felt a strange sensation. It was as if he was being watched by someone, but he could not see anyone nearby.
He closed his eyes and focused his senses, trying to determine where the presence was coming from. As he concentrated, he felt a chill run down his spine. He sensed that whoever was watching him was associated with dark magic.
He opened his eyes and looked around, but he still could not see anyone. However, he felt that the presence was getting closer.
"Captain, we need to stay alert," Lord Arin said, his voice low. "I sense that we are not alone."
Sir Robert nodded, drawing his sword. The soldiers also stood at attention, their weapons at the ready.
Suddenly, there was a rustling in the bushes nearby. Lord Arin and his soldiers tensed, ready for whatever might emerge.
After a few moments, a figure stepped out of the bushes. It was a tall, cloaked figure with a menacing presence. Lord Arin could feel the dark magic emanating from the figure.
"Who are you?" Lord Arin demanded, his hand on his sword hilt.
The figure chuckled darkly. "I am but a humble traveler passing through. I couldn't help but notice your little battle here. It was quite entertaining."
Lord Arin narrowed his eyes. He didn't believe the stranger's words for a second.
"Leave now," he said firmly. "We have no need for your kind here."
The stranger's eyes glinted in the light. "Oh, I think you do. I have something that might interest you."
He held out his hand and revealed a glowing crystal. Lord Arin could sense the immense power emanating from it.
"What is that?" he asked, his curiosity piqued.
The stranger smirked. "A piece of the lost city of the dragons. And I am willing to sell it to you, for the right price."
Lord Arin knew better than to trust someone who dabbled in dark magic. But the idea of obtaining a piece of the lost city of the dragons was too tempting to ignore.
He hesitated for a moment, weighing the risks. But ultimately, he made his decision.
"Very well," he said. "But we will not be doing business here. Meet me at the family headquarters at dawn tomorrow, and we will discuss the details."
The stranger nodded, and with a flourish of his cloak, he disappeared into the night.
"Lord Arin you must not --" "It is fine, I know what I'm doing, I will not do anything that will cause harm to the family!" Arin said reassuring the captain of his worries
"noted my Lord!" the Captain replied
"Have the soldier tends to the villages needs, I will have the Amsterdam Knight patrol on the nearby area, if there is anything you need please ask the Head Butler!" Arin said they left the village
Lord Arin knew that he needed to seek guidance from the Divine Dragon, the legendary creature who was said to have wisdom beyond measure. He made his way to the Lair of the Divine Dragon, a sacred place that only a few were allowed to enter.
As he approached the entrance, he was greeted by the Guardian of the Lair, a massive dragon with scales as black as night.
"Halt!" the dragon boomed. "What business do you have here, mortal?"
Lord Arin bowed respectfully. "I seek an audience with the Divine Dragon. I am in need of guidance."
The dragon eyed him for a moment before nodding. "Very well. Follow me."
Lord Arin followed the dragon into the lair, where he was led to a chamber filled with glowing crystals and ancient artifacts. In the center of the chamber was the Divine Dragon, a magnificent creature with scales that shimmered like gold.
"Greetings, mortal," the Divine Dragon said, his voice echoing through the chamber. "What brings you here?"
Lord Arin bowed again. "I seek guidance about a dark magician I recently encountered. He claimed to have a piece of the lost city of the dragons, but I sense that he is not to be trusted."
The Divine Dragon nodded. "Dark magic is a dangerous and unpredictable force. It can corrupt even the most noble of souls. You must be careful, Lord Arin."
He paused for a moment before continuing. "As for the lost city of the dragons, its secrets are powerful and dangerous. Only those who are worthy may enter and seek its knowledge. Be wary of those who seek to obtain its power for their own gain."
Lord Arin listened carefully, taking in every word of the Divine Dragon's wisdom.
"Thank you, Divine Dragon," he said, bowing once again. "Your guidance is invaluable."
The Divine Dragon nodded. "Remember, Lord Arin. The path you choose will determine your fate. Choose wisely."
As Lord Arin made his way out of the Lair of the Divine Dragon, he suddenly remembered something he had meant to ask the divine creature. He turned back around and approached the Divine Dragon once more.
"Forgive me, Divine Dragon," he said, bowing once more. "I meant to ask you about my dragon kin, Zephyr. As a member of the White Dragon Clan, she is said to be as strong as your own Divine Dragon Clan. Can you assess her improvement in magic?"
The Divine Dragon regarded Lord Arin for a moment before nodding slowly. "Very well. Bring forth your dragon kin."
Lord Arin called for Zephyr, who entered the chamber with grace and dignity befitting her station. The Divine Dragon regarded her carefully, studying her every move.
After a few moments, the Divine Dragon spoke. "Your dragon kin is indeed strong, Lord Arin. Her improvement in magic is commendable, and she shows great potential. But remember, even the strongest dragon kin must continue to train and improve. Only then can they reach their full potential."
Lord Arin nodded, taking in the Divine Dragon's words. "Thank you, Divine Dragon. Your wisdom is greatly appreciated."
With that, Lord Arin and Zephyr left the chamber,
After that a Magnificent figure appeared before the Divine Dragon, she is the Saint of the Moonlight the one that safeguard the Land of Leondell, The Divine Dragon regarded the Saint of the Moonlight with a mixture of respect and awe. As the Master of the Divine Dragon, she held immense power and wisdom, and the Divine Dragon was always eager to learn from her.
"Greetings, Saint of the Moonlight," the Divine Dragon said, bowing respectfully. "What brings you to my lair today?"
"I have come with a warning," the Saint of the Moonlight said gravely. "The darkness is growing stronger, and with it, the power of those who wield dark magic. We must be vigilant, for they seek to upset the balance of the world."
The Divine Dragon's eyes narrowed in concern. "What can we do to stop them?"
"We must continue to train and improve our magic, and seek out those who would use dark magic for their own gain," the Saint of the Moonlight said firmly. "We must also be prepared to fight, if necessary. The fate of our world depends on it."
The Divine Dragon nodded solemnly. "I understand. We will do whatever it takes to protect our world from those who would do it harm."
With that, the Saint of the Moonlight vanished as quickly as she had appeared, leaving the Divine Dragon to contemplate her words.
The Divine Dragon called upon the leaders of the other dragon clans, and together they discussed the growing threat of the dark magicians and the need to protect the land of Leondell from their influence.
"We must act swiftly and decisively," the Divine Dragon said, addressing the other leaders. "But we must also be careful not to incite an all-out war with the dark magicians. They are powerful and cunning, and we must not underestimate them."
"I agree," said the leader of the Red Dragon clan. "But what do you propose we do?"
"We must first verify the existence of the Map about the lost dragon city," the Divine Dragon replied. "in order to do that we need the help of our Humans to deal with the dark magicians."
The leader of the Blue Dragon clan nodded in agreement. "And we must also be prepared to work together, to share our knowledge and resources, and to fight as one if necessary."
As the dragon clan leaders continued their discussions, they couldn't help but feel uneasy about the involvement of the Royal Family Guardian, the Dark Dragon Clan, in the current situation. The Dark Dragon Clan was one of the five ancient dragon clans, and their power was second only to the Divine Dragon Clan.
"I fear that the Dark Dragon Clan may be working with the dark magicians," the leader of the White Dragon Clan spoke up. "Their allegiance to the Royal Family is strong, but we cannot ignore the possibility that they may have their own agenda."
The White Dragon Clan leader spoke up again, reminding the other dragons of the Non-Involvement Treaty between the Ancient Emperor of Leondell and the Leader of the Dragons. "We must not forget that there is a treaty in place that bans us from directly intervening in the affairs of the empire. If we are caught breaking this treaty, we will be punished severely and sealed in the Dragons pit lair."
The other dragon clan leaders nodded, acknowledging the severity of the treaty. "We cannot let our actions be discovered by the humans or the royal family," the leader of the Red Dragon Clan spoke up. "We must move in secrecy and do whatever it takes to uncover the truth without being caught."
The Divine Dragon agreed. "Yes, we must be cautious and avoid any unnecessary conflicts. Our priority is to protect the land and its people, but we must also abide by the treaty to avoid any further complications. our mission this time is to find this Lost dragon city first, and let our Humans protect the Land against the Dark Magicians, in the Treaty it was mention that those Dragons who conduct the Magic bind with the family heads are exempted with the Rules, so have them help the Families in executing their roles in this matter!"
The Meeting of the Dragon Clan leaders was dismissed.
The Divine Dragon then summoned one of his trusted advisors to make a list of all the Dragon Clans in Leondell and their respective territories. After compiling the list, they noted which family each clan was currently protecting.
The list included the following:
Divine Dragon Clan - no territory, serves as protectors of the entire land of Leondell
White Dragon Clan - located in the northern region, currently protecting the Amsterdam Family
Red Dragon Clan - located in the eastern region, currently protecting the Ruland Family
Blue Dragon Clan - located in the western region, currently protecting the Orla Family
Green Dragon Clan - located in the southern region, currently protecting the Delfin Family
Black Dragon Clan - no known territory, rumored to be allied with the Dark Magicians
Dark Dragon Clan - currently serving as the guardians of the Royal Family, known to be allied with the Black Dragon Clan and feared by many.
The Divine Dragon studied the list carefully, knowing that each clan would play a crucial role in protecting the land from potential threats. He also knew that their mission to uncover the truth behind the dark magicians and their potential alliance with the Dark Dragon Clan would be a dangerous one, but it was a risk they were willing to take to protect their world.
