Dragon Birth back up

  While nations rebuild, heroes are rewarded, and strange alien powers depart to places unknown by any on Volca; another drama unfolds. Upon the dusty mountain side before the wide cave a pillar of fire emerges from the ground, like a curtain being drawn back the flames part for a rather unusual looking man for this region. He is a tall man wearing an ornate robe of red and yellow flame and bejeweled design; his skin has an orange to reddish tint, his nails long, black and sharp, his irise flame licked while his left eye is covered by a black eye patch, and his hair the color of fire despite his jet black goatee.  Not far away a curtain of icicles appear in the air parting for a beatiful woman wearing much the same as the man only with shades of cold blue and white with snow flakes and icy streaks to counter his flames. Her hair long and an icy blue, her eyes deathly cold in color with white pupils; her skin deathly pale and her finger nails long and blue. Not far off a third elemental portal appears, this one a much more simple black tunnel with a boarder of stone that falls away as the tall muscular tan skinned and bald man emerges; dressed in thick brown and yellow tint leathers.

   "I take it," says the firey man, "you have heard the rumors dear sister."

   "You mean," she says coldly, "that our wild beast of a mother transformed into a sorceress; who proceeded to join a band of adventurers who went about defeating the eldritch Og'Daga?"

   She turns to the bald man, "in addition to claiming she always was the sorceress and that your father here transformed her into a dragon?"

   The man smiles, "My dear children, Fire Tongue and Ice Heart. It does not matter what your mother was before I made her one of us, she was an elder dragon when she laid your eggs; and besides I am your father; the great dragon king Maletech of the Void!"

   A sudden haughty laughter catches them off guard as from a much more litteral fabric curtain of starlight appearing before them a third figure emerges; a tall woman with blue skin, S-curve horns, eyes of deep blue, and from beneath her flowing blue and silver kimono a long dragon's tail with a deep blue fur tuft; and great dragon wings from flaps in the back of her gown.

   Maletech is about to speak when the woman with a flick of her fingers blasts him with lightning sending him tumbling a short ways into the caves.

  "O..*cough*...Overlord Sahraloa," Maletech *coughs*, "Why...."

   "Your foolishness knows no bounds," says Sahralia, "You are confessing to me that you did indeed meet the sorceress Rhulan and transformed her into a dragon; and had your way with her?"

  Sahralia looks back and forth at Fire Tongue and Ice Heart, both of which sprouted tails, wings, and horns much like her own only black horns and tuft for Fire Tongue, and matching blue horns and tuft from Ice Heart.

   "You are tiny little children," she states, "stand aside,"

   "I assure you," says Maletech standing, growing dirt like spikes like a tiny crown about his head, stone like claws, a thick tail and thick wings, "while I started her off as a young dragon, I did not bed her till she was of elder age; not sure though why she gave me only these two and..."

  *Krakoom!* he is sent further into the cave, which Sahralia walks in as she speaks, "Did it not strike you as odd how easily she took to that form? How powerful she would have been even small? and how in such a short time became such a powerful dragon? Did you not recognize her draconic form? Did you not think it suited her better than her human one?"

   "I...cursed a dragon into a dragon who was transformed into a person?" asks Maletech.

   *Krakoom!"

   "What you saw was an avatar!"

   Maletech's eyes grow wide.

  "A dreamer whose dream was changed, and forced upon by you."

   She points at him and narrows her eyes, "Are you such a fool as to not recognize one of your own gods when they stand before you! Are you not Maletech of the Void? The dragon that flies through the void of space between worlds and rules the dragons of a hundred worlds? That was an avatar of the Dragon of Chaos!"

   Sahralia turns to Fire Tongue and Ice Heart, "Indeed, you are my little siblings, I would embrace you, but this must be most shocking for you I trust."

  Before they can speak a strange sweet wind blows from the depths of the cave with a whispered word upon it, "shhhh".
