The Council of Dragons
Location: The Draconic Domain, Atop The Eroded Peaks
Date: Such concepts aren't of value
The Ancient Dragon Lord has finally comprehended all the methods in the book
For the last two months, He hasn't stopped reading for a second, As beings of the Royal Level and higher require no physical needs.
After he comprehended the book, He came to a conclusion
'The book is basically about advanced Abstracts, Concepts, and Skills
If Royal Dragons master some of these methods they might indeed evolve and become Kings'
He moved his finger and drew a triangle in the middle of the air, Opening his personal (Pocket Dimension) And storing the book in it, Then he shapeshifted back to his Dragon form
The Dragon Lord was alone on top of the summit, He inspected his turf for a couple of seconds then roared loudly
His roar was so loud that it covered almost the entirety of the Draconic Domain, Then he waited.
This roar meant one thing: The Dragon Council had begun, and all Dragon Kings were called to join.
Within a few minutes, Four humongous dragons flew rapidly toward the summit
The first to land in front of the Dragon Lord was the Lightning Dragon Queen, Followed by the Ice Dragon King
A bit later, The Wind and The Fire Dragon Kings landed beside them
The four Kings stood in front of the Dragon Lord
He eyed them up and down for a couple of seconds, Then began speaking in the World's Language
He announced loudly
"I've made a deal with the Hegemon"
The reaction of the Dragon Kings differed,
The Fire Dragon King beat the ground with his foot in anger, Causing a dent in the summit's surface, Then he shouted
"Why do we need to make deals with lowly creatures like Humans?"
The Dragon Lord just looked at him with disdain for a second, then moved his eyes to the next King,
The Ice Dragon King spoke in a low tone
"If it's the Hegemon, then it can't be helped"
The Dragon Lord sighed
'These two are hopeless, One is just stupid and the other is meek'
He averted his gaze in disappointment and looked at the next King
The Wind Dragon King said
"What does that have to do with me?"
Lastly, The Lightning Dragon Queen asked
"What's the deal?"
The Dragon Lord liked their responses more
'At least there's hope in these two
The Wind King is selfish and doesn't care about his kin, but if he becomes the Lord and realizes that the power of the kin is as important for his survival as his own power then he'll put efforts into making them stronger,
The Lightning Dragon Queen is the most promising one, She's very smart'
After The Dragon Lord assessed all their replies he continued
"Each one of you will master the techniques in this book, then teach them to the Royal Dragons you deem fit
The one who manages to evolve the most Dragon Kings will become my second-in-command!"
The Dragon Lord's declaration shocked all the Kings
Second in command?
Did they hear that correctly?
They have given up all hope on this position centuries ago!
No matter how many times they asked, The Dragon Lord never considered it
'But now it is up for grabs!'
Finally, Their chance to prove that they're better than the other kings has come!
The Fire Dragon King spoke first
''I'd have preferred a Death Match, But this also works''
The Ice Dragon King spoke after him
"Whatever you deem fit, My Lord"
The Wind Dragon King said
"It'd have been better if it was something to increase my own power, But it can't be helped"
The Lightning Dragon Queen thought about it for a couple of seconds then said
"I have a condition"
The Dragon Lord's interest was piqued, He asked with interest
"What is it?"
"As it is only me and My Lord who know how to read, I'll be the one teaching it to the rest of the Kings first, Am I correct?"
The Dragon Lord nodded and gestured for her to continue
"Then it'd only be fair that I have an advantage"
"What kind of advantage?" The Dragon Lord asked
The Lightning Queen elaborated
"It's simple, No matter how good the techniques are, not many Royals have the potential to evolve, The possibility of tying is very high"
The Fire Dragon King was about to object, But the Dragon Lord raised his talons and stopped him, Then he said
"That is indeed correct, Continue"
"Thank you, My Lord.
I request that if I tie in with anyone else, I should have priority for the position.
Of course, If they manage to evolve more Kings then it's understandable that they'll get the position, But if we're equal, Then it shall be I, The Lightning Queen!"
The Dragon Lord pondered for a moment before asking the other Kings
"What are your opinions about this?"
The Fire Dragon King rose his nose high
"I don't care"
The Ice Dragon King said
"Whatever my lord deems fit is right"
The Wind Dragon King said
"I do not agree"
The Dragon Lord looked at the Wind Dragon King and asked
"Then, Are you ready to learn how to read?"
The Wind Dragon King averted his gaze and didn't reply
Once again, The Dragon Lord felt disappointed
'Even after reaching this level, They still do not value knowledge!"
He looked in the distance and thought
'Perhaps ... My father was right'
But he quickly pushed that thought away and spoke in a neutral tone
"The rules are set, The one who evolves the most Royals becomes my Second-In-Command, And if anyone is tied with The Lightning Queen, Then she'll get the position"
After making his declaration, The Dragon Lord took out the book from the pocket dimension and handed it to the Lightning Dragon Queen
"I must fulfill my end of the pact
I'll be leaving the turf for a while, Until then, Learn the techniques and teach them to the rest"
The Lightning Dragon Lord replied with a respectful bow
"Understood, My Lord"
The Dragon Lord shapeshifted back to his human form and looked around him
After a bit of time, He found what he was looking for
'Two dragons in a battle, Perfect.'
