Chapter 19 ancestor's dreams part one.

Ethan Dreamed of a man walking barefooted on the land of the burning fire. A land of magma and chaos. This is a land uninhabitable by humans. No normal men would survive a single day on this continent. The sky was covered in ashes. The air felt thick and stuffy. Every time He breathes in he felt his lungs burning.

But he liked it.

The man Ethan was embodying was feeling joy at this moment.

He felt like he was having the best natural cigar in the world. Smoking the fire and ashes of a volcano. That was life.

Yes, Ethan's body was breeding in blazing smoke and ash.

After embodying this man for a few hours Ethan realized that this man never changed directions. His gaze never shifted and his steps never drifted.

Ethan couldn't even feel a single thought from this man. His mind was calm and his heart was tranquil.

Like that Ethan moved for a very long time in The direction of a gigantic volcanic mountain in the distance. He didn’t know how many days had passed. It may have been days or weeks, it may have even been years he didn’t know.

He didn't stop for a single moment.

not to eat, drink or sleep, but he singled-mindedly walked in the same direction.

Not a single obstacle he came across in his path made him change direction.

There were all types of fire and lava beasts attacking him. But not a single beast stood a chance in his way. his feet never stopped moving or took a step back.

He fought numerous times already but his hand went like vicious pincers grabbing and crushing everything that came in front of him. He walked unhindered to a destination Ethan didn't know but seemed to be a massive volcano.

After men know how long. Ethan in the body of this man finally came to the foot of this gigantic volcano.

This was the first time the emotions of this man changed.

He felt a feeling of excitement. Of eagerness.

A desire burning deep within.

Stepping on the volcano the body of this man started to change. He was close to three meters, to begin with. Had arms as thick as pillars, his body as wide as a table with brown spiky wild hair.

With each step, his body grew bigger.

The first step he grew to 5m.

With the second step, he grew to 10m.

After the third step, he grew again to 20m.

Consequently to 40m and then 80m, with each step his body was releasing power and doubling in size.

Until he was a thousand-meter high titan he stopped growing.

This titan had brownish-red skin that had a copper luster to it.

But he still felt very small compared to this massive volcano.

Each step he took shook that gigantic volcano stamping his mark on it.

For the first time on this journey, the men spoke.

"I Boldrock, command the strongest Ashe titan to face me."

"Come face me and become my power."

Not long after the volcano erupted in anger spewing a tower of magma in frustration.

From the Depths of this volcano, a behemoth much bigger than him emerged from the erupting magma. Seeing each other a devastating battle followed. And Ethan was living it in body and soul.

This was power!

Every attack, every punch even every time he got hit he felt the raging, boiling power inside of him.

Every time he got hit he felt like he got stronger, Wilder, and even more ferocious.

The more damage his body receives the more Powerful he becomes.

Ethan was feeling the deep thirst for battle, a madness brewing deeply inside his heart. The more powerful he became the crazier his fighting style became and that feeling was intoxicating.

Ethan was feeling extremely addicted to this power. But every time he felt he was going to lose Himself and lose control, he or better said this man was able to keep it under control.

it was madness, but a controlled madness.

It was a boiling rage like a bomb about to explode but he never lost control.

No matter what he did or how strong he got he was always in control of himself. Ethan was with him in every move he used every skill he did and with each hit he received, he felt it like it was his own body.

Ethan felt them all like he was the one battling this ash titan.

The bloodthirsty feeling like a Ferocious beast.

He felt it!

He was hunting, hunting this titan for the pure pleasure of battle.

He was in fact at that moment, In soul and body that ancestor.

His very own ancestor who has carved his name in history.

This a man who lived for battles and battles only. And was feared by others for his sheer force and brutality. Ethan was living and learning from this very ancestor the way of the raging titan.

The way that pushes you to face and battle the strongest of most ancient titans of this world.

Falling into a never-ending cycle of battle until you die or until you are the supreme Titan.

It wasn’t only Ethan but Dez and Suki had their own ancestral embodiment.

Suki wasn’t in the body of a human but in the body of a dragon. An ancient paragon Dragon.

A dragon so massive it was leaning its Ancient body against a mountain. And was still taller than it.

This was the same central Mountain that towers over the mountain range in the Loong’s territory.

Suki could feel the tremendous power hiding deep inside her body, a power that apparently she was gathering for some reason.

Even so, the power was slowly but surely seeping away. Like a leak in a tank that was slowly dripping away.

Rising its body slowly but surely Suki stood up. Around her, millions if not billions of dragons of all types and sizes flew around her anxiously. all of them were her children’s all her kin. She could see and feel the emotions.

they were all like part of her very being.

Raising her head she looked at what seemed to be a gigantic sun burning above her head.

An arrogant female voice sounded in her ears. “I came to collect your body, you old Reptile.” Calling a dragon a reptile was considered a big offense.

All the dragons felt humiliated and we were burning with rage.

“You've already reached your limits old fool, why don’t you just die already and spare me the trouble."

"It's time for you to give me that old dragon heart of yours don't you think?"

"Maybe if you surrender I may spare your little snakes and lizards around you. Even if they are ugly as hell I'll make sure to keep some of them alive as my personal servant, what do you say? old sweetheart."

"I'm a very benevolent person. Shouldn't your descendants forever be beneath my feet cleaning the floor this mighty Phoenix walk?" spoke Volmira with mockery in her tone.

Rage!

Unstoppable rage burned in Suki's dragon chest.

With a roar that shook the skies, Suki's dragon body rose into the sky.

“You have truly fallen, Volmira. It wouldn't matter even if you could ever defeat me, you will never step on a Dragon’s Pride. No dragon here will ever surrender!"

"Especially the likes of you.”

"EVER!"

Every dragon raised their head and roared in an exploding wave of anger.

"Didn't they say you're the wise dragon of the truth? Didn't they say your eyes can see it all?"

"Did you see your death today, Iskra? "

Volmira taunted and mocked the old dragon.

"What I saw was a stupid bird playing with corrupted power that one day will be her own destruction."

Looking at the star Suki's eyes seem like they could pass anything in front of her and look directly at Volmira. She saw a beautiful, humanoid, voluptuous woman with purple-black hair fall all the way over her shoulders. She was sitting on a throne inside a palace surrounded by flames.

Different types of flames bent at her will but the flames themselves seem to be afraid of something. It was a dark greenish flame that danced above her presence inside the palace which was extremely large.

That flame gave out a chilling aura.

Standing up, walking outside this magical palace that was built from what appeared to be solidified fire that turned into a type of Fiery crystal, Volmira transformed into a black Phoenix with purple wings and a dark green flame surrounding her body.

That was the beginning of a terrifying war.

A war that happened billions of years ago on this continent where Dez Suki and Ethan were born.

This war happened before the very first human laid a step on this land.

Millions of dragons took to the sky. But millions of phoenixes descend like a rain of fire forming a burning sky.

The dragons were extremely powerful wielding a multitude of elements, they also had powerful body's that could resist a multitude of attacks.

Most of them were winning in the beginning but the Phoenixes kept coming. The dead ones rose again and killed more and more dragons as the time went on.

Most of the Dragons started to lose in this battle, even the most powerful one.

Sadly the winner of this battle wasn’t Suki's side and she lived it in presence and body.

She felt each kin's pain. Each kin lost. experienced the suffering, the pain, and death of all the dragons all her kids.

With a big bang she came crashing from the sky. All around her lay corpses of dead dragons.

Dragons blood flowed like actual rivers.

Deep sadness envelops her heart.

For the first time, the dragon cried. She cried in grief and blood.

The pain was molding and forming something deep inside Suki.

Suki could feel the pain and death felt by them all and especially the death of herself when a sharp claw of an equally gigantic Phoenix bore into her chest and ripped off her heart.

She felt everything, every inch of her being and every part of her body, the body of an ancestral paragon dragon felt pain and powerlessness. The pain and sorrow of her kin. The will of Her Descendants, their desire to take revenge.

“Your day has finally come. every time you kill me in the past I came back and this will be the last time, it seems that after billions of years even you will succumb to time. But don’t worry because this time I will surpass you.” said Volmira and ate the dragon heart with a lot of eagerness and desire for power.

“There is nothing anyone can do to stop the rise of the phoenix clan.”

How she was related to this race of dragons Suki didn’t come to know but she already felt she was one of its closest kins unlike before. Especially her heart. At that moment her heart changed.

Figuratively and literally.
