《Insignia》"The Tenyi" Ch 58. Dragons Wrath...
Advertisement
--- Chapter 58 ---
As Red settles into this new form, a burst of energy goes around him and straight up.
Red?: Finally, it's been so long.
He begins stretching his neck.
Onakino: Nice trick.
Red?: Trick?
Onakino reevaluate the situation. That energy. Its pure mana, she thinks to herself,
Onakino: How does a human possess so much mana?! Red was it?
Red?: Please, people like to call me dragons wrath. But you can call me wrath.
Onakino: Ok, Wrath, your gonna DIE!
She puts her hands forward, and the red chains rocket towards Wrath.
Wrath: I possess far better control over the insignia power then Red has.
He puts his hands forward. Two insignia symbols appear, and they form into blades. As the chains come in, he swings his dual wield dragon blades. Their blades glow red, and grow, swirling around before returning to the blades normal shape, and stop glowing. As this happens the chains are snapped in multiple places. Wrath stairs her down.
Wrath: I like your attacks, I'm not sure why though.
She stares at him and grits her teeth. She begins to raise her hands to attack but before she can-
Wrath: Demonic dragon blade, fanged pursuit.
The blades glow red, and extend extremely fast towards her. She barely dodges out of the way. The blades skewer the wall, and a moment passes before the return into the room, making new holes and keep pursuing her. She dodges upward, but the blades curve up and retain their speed. Her green chains tighten around her wrist like a bracer, two chains on each one arc upward, and they connect with a green chain ring. Air begins to flow in a ball inside the chains. She angles one forward, and the ball bursts sending her flying the opposite direction. The blades curve again, gaining on her, she angles her left hand to them, and an air burst releases, causing the blades to be sent in different directions. They pierce the walls, as she lands on the ground, her air balls replenished. She looks around, Wrath smiling, in a sadist way, like he’s having genuine fun. The blades burst through the ground, and she jumps back, and timing it perfectly, blasts both wind balls. Causing the blades to fling to the sides, and the wall behind her to burst open. She jumps through onto a roof on a lower building. She runs across the multiple buildings, and whenever, the blades get close she uses her wind balls to burst them. She leaps off a building onto the ground. She stops and sharpley turns to face the blades. She takes a knee, placing her hands on the ground. Blue chains flow out of her into the ground. Said chains burst up creating a wall of chains. The blade tips hit into the wall, and halt, the metal scraping sound audibly heard for some distance. The blade's point stays, but behind it they start to whirl around, and eventually the tips snap into a slash, slicing the wall in half. The tips zoom in towards her, she raises her hands to guard, as they hit and scrape into her chain bracers, causing some chain links to snap, but she's safe. The tips of the blades dip into the ground. She turns around ready to guard but the multiple blades jut out of the ground at immense speeds, stabbing into her multiple times. She coughs up blood upward.The blades begin to return the exact path they came. Luna sees the blades retract. Wrath smiles, as red energy gathers and grows at his back, forming into photon dragon-like wings.

Luna: Red don’t-
He flies out the hole she made. Onakino, bleeding out, reaches her hand out toward a lady running away. A lime green chain rockets out toward her, and enters her in a phasing manner. The lady starts to shrivel and decay into dust. Onakino’s wounds are seemingly healed. She gets up. Wrath lands before her. Back in the room, Mave is bleeding, bad. Luna gathers the blankets on the bed and presses it against the wound.
Luna: I- I dont have healing, that's all I can do!
A poof of smoke appears beside them, its Gadreel.
Gadreel: You need healing huh? I got that.
Luna: Really?!
Gadreel: Mhm, I got this.
Luna: Then quick, do it!
Gadreel: Alright alright, calm it down a little.
Gadreel licks his paw and slaps it down on the wound. Everyones in shock and asks what he's doing?! But before long the wound begins to heal over, not perfect but it will work.
Gadreel: Now that's alotta damage.
Luna: Thanks Gadreel.
Gadreel: Ah shucks, no big deal. Now you two better go after Red, i'll stay here with this one.
Luna: You sure?
Gadreel: Yah, I got this.
Luna: Ok, let's go to him, Hiro.
Hiro: Right.
They leave Mave and Gadreel.
Gadreel: Sweet! I don't have to deal with that psychopath. His energy, it changed, I- I feel like I remember it from somewhere…
Wrath stairs down Onakino, before throwing the blades at her at incredibly fast speeds. She dodges one and guards the second. They lodge themselves in the wall behind her.
Wrath: Now, let's see what we can do.
A mass of red energy circles his hands, and they form into two dragon heads. They open their mouth, creating a fireball. They get launched at incredible speeds. With the air balls she barely dodges them, as they explode into nearby buildings. He lifts his hands in the air, the red energy forming together to make a giant dragon head, he angles it forward, and fires a massive fireball. She looks at this, knowing she cant dodge, she creates a dome like chain barrier out of blue chains. The ball hits it with an explosion. The blast starts to melt the chains but she ultimately survives it. The rest of the chains disintegrate. Red chains flow out of her toward Wrath. A butterfly flies through the air in haste to escape. But the red chains slice through it like butter, the chains appear to be razor sharp. They circle around his legs, arms, and neck. They tighten keeping him in place, but it's not slicing.
Onakino: h-how-
Wrath: I get it!
He says with a smile.
Wrath: Your attacks are filled with sin. Your sin. The more you sin, the stronger the chain gets that corresponds with it. That's why I enjoy your attacks so much.
She gets a look of fear on her face.
Wrath: And your red chains must be, wrath, right? Your rage, your anger, your wrath, is nothing compared to my own. Thats why your chains of wrath do nothing to me. I AM wrath.

He brings his arms together and shrugs the chains off as they snap to pieces. Onakino looks in fear, as if her chains of wrath were her only offensive move. He brings his hand to the side, and makes a new dragon sword. He runs into her. He sends a yellow chain out to a bystander and uses them as a shield. Wrath doesn't stop, he stabs forward, causing the bystander to burst, but the stab destroys the chains creating slashes all along Onakino’s arm. But Wrath stops and throws his blade at the bystander, causing the blade to expand and pull the parts back together, saving the man. Onakino uses this time to run.
Wrath: Why, did you do that, we almost HAD HER!
There is a spot on Wraths face around the left eye that isn't glowing, and the pupil is blue.
Wrath: YOU wanted this. YOU wanted her dead, and now I, no WE will accomplish this.
The non glowing area begins to grow.
Wrath: NO!
The non glowing area rapidly shrinks to nothing, the eye opens with a red pupil.
Wrath: I will accomplish your goal, but my fun has only just begun.
Wrath grabs the hair on the sides of his heads, red energy grows and swells on his shoulders into multiple mountain like hills. The tip of each one sprouting a hand, and an extended insignia symbol flashes in the hands before they turn into swords. The hands rapidly throw swords at her, she runs along the wall, the swords sticking into the wall behind. When a sword is thrown the hand creates and grasps another. Then in unison each one throws a sword. She sees them bursting forward, she uses an air ball to dodge them. They stick into the wall. Wrath begins to swirl his hands around and the energy around him begins to form a liquid like ring around him. The ring moved off him and upright. The open center is then filled with a pentagram. Blade tips form on the pentagram, before thousands of swords fly out towards her. She generates a chain wall that follows her as she runs. Some blades hit and pierce the shield, some hit the wall behind her. This continues until there is only a thin pentagram left. The pentagram slowly swirls and shrinks into a little ball. Bursting from the ball is an incredibly fast sword, it hits the shield and totally obliterates it, and slices her cheek.
Onakino: Y-your out of your energy, there's no way you can make more. You can't attack with them anymore!
Wrath: Your right, about one thing at least. I pushed this body to the limits, and it can no longer generate insignia energy, for now. But, I can still attack, and this might be my strongest attack yet.
A wave of fear goes over Onakino.
Wrath: Dragon blades, awaken, and cut down our enemy! TAKE TO THE SKIES!
The thousands of dragon blades glow, and turn into their insignia mode. In this mode they begin floating, and circling Onakino. Some dive down and pass her. As they do, there razor sharp edges slash her all over. She runs to the center of the street. A desperate attempt, she creates a thick dome of blue chain. The dragon insignias circle over it, before a couple dive in. The lodge there points into the dome. They begin to melt creating a ring around it. Steam rises as the insignia rises in temperature. Suddenly-
Snap
The ring snaps in, and the chains begin to flake away. Onakino stands there. Covered in slashes, before collapsing lifeless. The Insignias all fly toward Wrath, and fly into his stomach, forming a single insignia. Once they are all in the insignia fades.
Wrath: Good, now that that's settled. My turn to do what I want.
Wrath gets pushed forward slightly.
Wrath: Hm?
Wrath looks slightly to the right and looks down with his red eyes. Lune is clinging to his arm and back.
Wrath: The hell are you doing?
Luna: Come back Red, please, your hurting people. The Red I know would never do that!
Wrath begins to laugh.
Wrath: Of course he wouldn’t, but he's not here right now, what are you even doing.
Luna: T-this worked before. It brought him back!
Wrath: Oh I see, at that point, I had only 15% control over his body, that's why. Now that his body is mine, you're powerless. So let go.
Luna: NOT UNTIL YOU GIVE HIM BACK!
Wrath: Suit yourself.
A red arm grows out of his shoulder. It summons a dragon blade, and aims it at Luna, and quickly stabs.
Step Step Step!
Luna gets pushed away, a blade comes up blocking the blade, but the wielder is sent back a bit.
Hiro: Red! Enough!
Wrath: You're really pissing me off, calling me Red. But, I'm feeling generous. If you run right now, I'll give you a head start.
He begins to laugh. The arm and sword retract into him.
Hiro: I'm not going anywhere, not without Red.
Wrath: Heh, I tried. Wait, aren't you that Hiro kid? Well, how about that. You weren't even close last time, how about a little redemption! At least you're not cowering this time.
Hiro lifts his sword, not speaking a word, Wrath generates a sword, and lifts it to meet Hiro. They look into eachothers eyes. Wrath with a smile, Hiro with a serious face.

Dear Spellbook (Link to rewrite in blurb)
A rewrite of this story has been posted here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/49881/dear-spellbook-a-fantasy-time-loop-rewrite Live. Study. Repeat. Tal is a sorcerer in a world where they are killed on sight, traveling with a man charged with carrying out the task. Every night Tal must pretend to study his spellbook to maintain his disguise as a Wizard’s Apprentice. If his disguise slips and his charade is uncovered, it will be his death. Seeking answers to mysteries that arose after his parent’s murder, Tal must accept any allies, no matter the risks, to uncover his family’s secret. But when he wakes up one morning to find himself trapped repeating the same day, he has to overcome his challenges all on his own. This story is an adaptation of a D&D campaign I ran but never was able to complete. I tried to capture the feel of a table-top RPG session —tropes and humor— without relying on the mechanics. This is not a litRPG or gamelit story and no D&D mechanics or system appear in the game. It follows one member of an adventuring party as he deals with the problems with that arise from being an adventurer. Namely, getting roped into adventures. The story has a time loop element, but will eventually move past that. This story explores the magic systems, the history, and the lore of the world through the lens of Tal's entries in his Spellbook and interludes from other written works in the world. New entries on Mondays Credit to JackOfHearts for the cover.
