Skyrax's pain & anger

The dark night was bright as day when Aatrox's flame collided with the huge Titan's protective screen. a wave of sand and dust swept through the place,the dragon bloods squinted their eyes to see if the void army had been annihilated.

Thud!, Thud!!, The ground and walls began to shake like there was an earthquake,the dust still covered their sight as the warriors couldn't see what was going on. RUMBLE!, The sound got closer, eborsisk eyes widened as he shouted"SHOOT THE TREBUCHETS!!".but it was already too late as thousands of Titans emerged, a white beam blasted the gates open, the knights close to the gates could not even scream as they evaporated, their only remains was the blood mist that sprayed everywhere.

Staring at where the white beam came from, eborsisk saw the huge titan standing at the distance with active runes on this forearm as he spoke with a raspy voice"ALL!", He brought his thumb to his neck and drew a line. Eborsisk knew this was it, the arrival of this huge titan spoiled any plan on escape routes, "heh", eborsisk chuckled bitterly,pain filled his heart,"is this how the dragon bloods end. The strongest race in the world, ha!, We were decimated in just two days", eborsisk said with unwillingness at the fate of the dragon bloods.

"Even if it's our doom, we will not falter,I am a dragon blood, WE ARE DRAGON BLOODS!!, It's our pride, even if zelkmond would cease to exist, let it be known in history that the dragon bloods, stood till their last, let it be known that the void army bled deeply before they conquered us, they suffered before they could cross the lands of the dragon bloods", the green haired man started lightly but his voice raised until it could be heard by all the warriors of dragon bloods,even the ones struggling to hold the Titans back. the council members and the lost eborsisk felt their blood boil, they stared at the green haired man, none of them expected crixus would stand at a time like this.

"WHO ARE WE!!", crixus shouted.

DRAGON BLOODS!!, DRAGON BLOODS!!!, DRAGON BLOODS!!!!, The whole army, including the people all shouted with fervour, their morale had reached a transcendent stage, a stage where even death makes no difference. crixus turned and faced the aggressive Titans who were slaughtering the warriors trying to hold them at the walls.

"HAAA!", Crixus shouted to the dark sky and stared at the Titans, he shouted the last words he knew he would ever say "CHAAARRRGGEE!!", His body lit up as his armor appeared, at the fore front, he ran towards the Titans, the army of red and dragon knights rushed towards the Titans with madness, the people both men and women, young and old, picked up any sharp objects and raced towards the battlefield. BOOM!, the Titans and the dragon bloods clashed violently.

This forgotten part of history was known by the book keepers of the tower of knowledge as the LAST BLOOD.

A dozen men with golden armors lashed their horses, they were trying to keep up with the anxious emperor, the emperor was not delusional enough to think that there have not been severe casualties in zelkmond,he just hoped that the dragon bloods may have dropped their pride and escaped or a least few remained.he couldn't get there as fast as he thought,the horse he rode was just an ordinary horse, it wasn't even the lowest special breed nor was it his precious horse which he left at the camp to avoid people from knowing he left.

As he rode through the forest, a huge wolf appeared before him, mounted upon it was a bulky man with bright silver hair, deep blue eyes and a serious face. He wore no armor but emitted a dangerous Aura which scared the horses.

Staring at him the emperor said solemnly" Alderigde, when did you notice".

"Since your shocked expression at the council, others were shocked but yours was different and it seemed I was right", alderigde said calmly.

The emperor nodded his head expressing his understanding but his mind was in turmoil he was shocked that alderigde spotted that small action and even investigated it, sighing he said "what happened?".

"Annihilation,they are gone, all of them but I did not see Skyrax's body, maybe he was eaten", alderigde said expressionlessly, he didn't even bat an eye as he was talking about the annihilation of a race.

The emperor eyes widened as his shoulders fell, he felt pain, a race gone,just like that. The emperor did not care if his mood was seen by alderigde,he knew them, cheiftian's of the silver bloods,cold hearted, killing was the norm, leaders of the silver bloods, a war clan, with one of the strongest phantoms and number one among the blood clans, their only rival was the blackbloods.

"Thank you for your help, alderigde,you shall be rewarded"the emperor said lightly as he regained his demeanor.

"I understand your majesty but I also came to tell you that the void beings have appeared at another place closer to the capital,this time the map got them quickly,so the council needs your orders", alderigde said seriously.

The emperor did not take offense to alderigde attitude as silver bloods preferred battle to unnecessary rewards. staring at the distance for a while,he turned his horse around and waved his hands"back to the camp, it's time to make those void beings feel the pain the empire has felt".

"Heyah!, Heyah!!, Skyrax shouted as he urged fire bringer to move faster, it has been three days and he had to warn Aatrox, if he refused to listen, he would move his family away. He was close to zelkmond,he could see the high mountains and large grasslands in the distance, joy filled his heart,he felt relived but as he got closer, there was a horrible smell.he squinted his eyes and thought ' what kind of smell is that '. he got closer to zelkmond,all he saw on this once vital lands was ruins, "heyah!", he urged fire bringer towards the city as fear filled his mind. The stench was getting more aggressive , arriving at the city walls,he saw the bodies of dead warriors,void and dragon bloods warriors littered all over the place"how can they get here this fast!", skyrax muttered in shock, he came down from fire bringer and ran towards his house, crumbled buildings began to appear before his eyes, he saw huge bodies, scorch marks, the whole outer city was in ruins, there were only corpses and destroyed buildings.not even a small rat,the whole place was so quiet that he felt his steps resounding throughout the city.

Quickening his steps,he barges into his house but saw no one, the house was still neat, only his bedroom and his daughter's room were messy. Skyrax let's out a deep breath,he had been holding it since he entered the city."they escaped!.....but did the others also escape".

He rose from his daughter's bed and walked towards the inner city, when he saw the walls he was shocked as the walls were dyed With both green and red bloods, cracks were in every corner and there was no gates, just an opening of where the gates should have been,even the pillars supporting the gates had also disappeared.when he saw this view skyrax mind was unsteady, this was his clan,his race.

He rushed through into the city,what greeted him was the sight of mountain pile of bodies both of his clan's and void race.it was a brutal scene, especially for a man who rushed with hope. the the stench was horrible but skyrax did not notice as his eyes were fixed on the pile of bodies,they were his race, his family, turning to another direction he saw eborsisk with half of his body gone and his eyes wide open in madness, looking at the eyes of some dragon bloods corpse,he saw the same thing, madness, resilience,pride in the eyes of people who faced certain death.

Skyrax suddenly realized that if the Inner city was gone and he had seen some of the council members bodies...,his heart sank,he rushed towards Aatrox Manor, searching through every room,he saw nothing, he came out from Aatrox residence and rushed towards another Manor with urgency as he approached the gates,there were dozens of dead knights, some of them had missing parts. walking into the building,the bodies of slaughtered maids and servants littered the place, skyrax Aura was getting heavier but his heart was sinking further,he searched through the rooms in this huge Manor before he went back to the one he avoided all this while.

CREAK!, The door opened,he saw a scattered room with broken glass and furnitures,his wife body was on the floor, bruises were all over her body as she stretched her hands towards the window,all her attention was on that window even with her slit throat. Skyrax trembled but before he could grief,his wife's strange posture caused him to look closely,he found out the bruises she gained was as a result of fighting with someone,the person had managed to slit her throat but even bleeding to death could not stop her from trying to reach that window,it was as if something more precious than her life was taken through that window, skyrax looked around ' ' something is missing '.he thought, turning back to look at his wife again,his eyes widened in realization,he burst through the large window, whose glass were already broken.landing outside, he ran with full speed as he followed the dried blood trails.

His heart got colder with the amount of blood he was seeing, after following the trails for a while he suddenly stops,his heart was filled with sorrow,in front of him were bones of small sizes pilled into hills,some littered around the place,some still had flesh on them,they were the bones of their kids,the void beings feasted on their kids.

Walking forwards, he saw an arm with a dragon bracelet at its wrist,there was blood and bite marks at the joint were it connects with the shoulder. Skyrax's world crumbled as he fell on his knees, his eyes trembled as tears filled them, the bridge that he built to hold his grief, destroyed when he saw his daughter's arm, tears poured out of Skyrax's eyes,his vision blurred, memories of when he gave his daughter the bracelet surfaced. ' "wow daddy, it looks beautiful",a small lively girl with red hair said.

"It does, I had to go to the Craftsman's place to beg, ha!,he nagged about how busy he was and he did not have the time to make childish toys",said the smiling skyrax.

"didn't you tell him that it is for the strongest warrior in the realm",the little girl said with her chest stuck up.

"Hahahahaha!, I did and he made it", skyrax laughed as he saw his daughter's pose. He bent down and tickled her, she laughed while trying to run away from skyrax hands.

Skyrax stretched his trembling hands to pick the only remains of his daughter but his arms with all the mighty power skyrax had, failed as it fell powerlessly.skyrax bent his head and cried till the day turned dark, the moon did not come out this tragic night, skyrax raised his head as a pair of red eyes shone in the dark with both hatred, vengeance and pain.
