In a faraway land…

Near the Fairy Kingdom…

A mountainous region where a huge volcano avoided by other supernatural creatures.

Due to the might and intimidating force of the Dwarven Kingdom.

The Dwarven Kingdom was fabled to be the guardians of the dormant volcano.

Where great treasures and a vast mine of gems can be located within the cave and foot of the mountain within the mountainous region of the Dwarven Kingdom.

And where an ancient being resides.

Drake, the -Fire Dragon King- was a feared ancient being amongst the supernatural creatures.

Though, he never interfered with the affairs of other kingdoms or the wars after the first Great War against the Horde of Darkness led by the Dark Lord.

King Gazelle was on his way to see the fire dragon king.

To inform the ancient being about the rising turmoil around the supernatural world and the increasing dark force of the vampire king.

…

His fully geared armor was shining and filled with enchantments.

Two fully armored guards were guarding the huge doors towards where the fire dragon king resides.

Upon his entry, a narrow path leads to the center of a boiling magma.

He started sweating from the heat.

Not wearing his helmet.

Instead only wearing his gold crown was a smart decision due to the ambiance inside the residence of the ancient being.

"YOUR BENEVOLENCE?"

"I REQUEST THEE!"

"KING DRAKE!"

He kneeled upon calling the ancient being.

After repeatedly calling for the ancient being.

…

"YOUR BENEVOLENCE? I BEG YOU!"

"I REQUEST THEE!"

"FIRE DRAGON KING!"

…

A strong wind suddenly breezed from above.

The flapping sound of a huge pair of wings reverberated around the high walls of the residence of the ancient being.

Above was the sight of the blue sky being covered by a shadow and silhouette of a huge dragon.

As soon as the fire dragon king landed at the opposite side of King Gazelle, the dwarven king lowered his gaze.

"YOUR BENEVOLENCE!" King Gazelle greeted their most respected ancient being.

…

"WHY . DID . YOU . DISTURB . MY . SLUMBER?"

…

While lowering his gaze, the Dwarven King stammered in his response to the fire dragon king.

"F-Forgive me! I had to seek your presence!"

"FOR. WHAT . REASON?"

…

Drake was a dozen times bigger than the Dwarven King.

His dark red dragon scales was smoldering from the magma he covered himself.

Compared to other living creatures.

The heat of magma doesn't melt the scales of the fire dragon king.

It even rejuvenates the hardening and defensive magic of the thick scales and skin of Drake.

This intimidated King Gazelle.

Drake made heavy stomps to sharpen his claws.

Making it the Dwarven King doubt if the words he wanted to utter.

…

"Umm… things are getting worse around. King Arceus of the giant race has died at the hands of the vampire king. King Lionel declared his claim to the throne for supreme rulership in the supernatural world. The Werewolf Kingdom is at disarray. And there was a sighting of Queen Mira arriving the shores at the western region." King Gazelle reported to the fire dragon king.

After his long report, Drake asked.

"SO?"

Nonchalantly responded to the words of the Dwarven King.

…

Surprised at the response of the ancient being.

"W-We need your help! Everyone needs you!" King Gazelle begged the ancient being.

…

The fire dragon king burst into laughter

"BWAHAHAHAHA!"

He continued to express his own thoughts to the Dwarven Kingdom.

"HAVE . YOU . FORGOTTEN?"

"WE . DO . NOT . MEDDLE . IN . YOUR . AFFAIRS!"

"UNLESS . THE . OTHER . ANCIENT . BEINGS . ARE . INVOLVED!"

…

King Gazelle was reminded of the only reason of why the fire dragon king participated in the first Great War.

It was clear to him that the fire dragon king would not lend his support in diffusing the chaos within the supernatural world.

And in defeating the vampire king.

The Dwarven King had the intention of supporting Selene after talking with Magdeline.

…

Drake asked another issue.

"HOW . ARE . MY . OFFSPRINGS?"

…

King Gazelle was tasked in guarding the five eggs of Gaiea.

"The GREAT GAIEA took the eggs by force told us that she had more rights than you."

"T-That a mother has more right to her child than the father."

…

…

"THAT . BITCH!"

-Rawr!!-

A loud roar resonated inside the cove of the volcano.

Immediately, King Gazelle summoned his shield and prepared for a powerful flame blast.

Because he expected for the fire dragon king to vent his anger.

…

…

At the same time, while Drake was venting his anger from Gaiea's decision to take her own eggs by force from King Gazelle's care.

A grand showdown between Queen Mira and Gaiea was taking place in the throne room of the Emperor Odin's Ancient Palace.

No one from the army of Queen Mira could lend her some help because Gaiea summoned a powerful ancient wind barrier to separate the queen of sirens and the seven seas from her own army.

The intensity of their showdown shook the entire throne room.

It was clear that Gaiea was more powerful than Queen Mira.

She miscalculated the difference of their power and she did not expect for her army to be blocked away from her.

Removing her own reinforcement or any help from her army.

Gaiea blasted powerful fire blasts from her mouth.

Queen Mira desperately used all her powers combined with the unbelievable lightning power of her trident.

In the middle of their clash and showdown.

She noticed the five eggs behind the throne.

Realizing there was hope in her clash against Gaiea.

"I WILL NOT LET YOU CLAIM THE THRONE!"

…

"Watch me succeed, GAEIA!"

She continued.

"Because whether you like it or not…"

"I WILL BE THE NEXT SUPREME RULER!"

Queen Mira declared to the ancient being.

Meanwhile,

[-In the Royal Hospital-]

As soon as Selene woke up, the first person she saw was her older brother.

"SELENE!" Lucas cried to his younger sister.

…

The platinum haired tribrid gathered all her strength so she could find her strength to speak and move accordingly to her will.

"Ummm…"

"What's wrong? What's with the tears?"

Lucas wiped his tears away.

"Because…"

"You think I would die just because I saved Melody."

"I AM SO SORRY FOR PUTTING YOU AGAIN IN SUCH A RISKY POSITION."

He continued apologizing to his younger sister.

"I HAVE BEEN NOTHING BUT A USELESS BROTHER TO YOU."

"I KEEP PUTTING YOU IN DANGER!"

…

"Shhh!! It's not your fault. It was still my choice to save Melody."

Selene held her older brother's face and tried to comfort him.

…

"This is what family do! We have each other's back."

"I know at first, I hesitated but the thought of you being miserable and losing Melody made me decide to risk it all."

She reassured Lucas of her own decision.

"It was my choice! And it was not your fault!"

…

"WHO TOLD YOU THAT YOU CAN LET YOURSELF GET HURT?"

King Alcyd interjected the moment of Selene with her older brother.

…
