(Synn)<br/><br/>The Queen pushed her sun kissed locks behind her shoulders and took the report in hand. Her eyes widened as she continued to read, then when finished, she crumpled the report within the angered grip of her left hand. Azurine placed her hand over the Queen’s fist and calmed her.<br/><br/><br/>“Could it be true?” the Queen asked as she looked up at Oscar. “I thought they had all been slaughtered! How could this be!” she shouted, waving her fist in Oscar’s face, but he remained calm and collected as she threw her fit.<br/><br/><br/>The Dark Mage looked out towards the horizon from the throne room grand window. She slowly walked towards the rays of sunshine that shone through, casting their brilliance on the stone floor. “Perhaps this man has been returned to the land of the living to exact his revenge on all that you have done my Queen” she said coldly as she folded her arms in front of her, not looking at either of them at the moment.<br/><br/><br/>“All I’ve done?! But you….” The Queen was soon cut off but a wave of Azurine’s hand. Her voice went silent against her will. She grabbed at her throat and continued to try to speak, but nothing came out.<br/><br/><br/>“I have done nothing but follow your orders my Queen. The decision to slaughter the entire royal family was yours and yours alone” she grinned slowly as she turned around to face them both. “Oscar was merely the extension of that order and I ensured his success” she concluded.<br/><br/><br/>“If what you say is true Azurine, why would the gods bring back an heir? What have we done to warrant such divine intervention?” the Queen pleaded, dropping the waded up report on the floor. Oscar bent down to pick it up so that such news would not travel throughout the kingdom, causing a wildfire of panic and uncertainty.<br/><br/>That remains to be seen my Queen” the Dark Mage said as she walked past them towards the courtyard once again where the dragons were being held.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Maddox was waiting for Azurine outside as he admired her pets. She approached him cautiously and stood beside him gazing at the magnificent beasts. Each of the thirteen dragons different from the other in stature, color, and grace. Maddox walked over to the general of the beasts. A glorious creature and it was the one that Maddox owned himself, raised from a hatchling.<br/><br/><br/>The beast had restless midnight eyes that sit precisely within the creature's rounded, horned skull, which gives the creature a ghastly appearance. Several large tendrils sit atop its head, just above its enormous, pointy ears. A row of tendrils runs down the sides of each of its jaw lines. Its nose is long and has two enormous, oval nostrils. There's an obsidian horn on its chin. Rows of large sharp teeth poke out from the side of its mouth and reveal only a fraction of the terror hiding inside. A thick neck runs down from its head and into a long body. The top is covered in coarse black skin and rows of small green crystal growths runs down its spine. Its bottom is covered in wide iridescent scales and is colored slightly lighter than the rest of its body. Four massive limbs carry its body and allow the creature to stand proud and noble. Each limb has 5 digits, each of which end in thick claws seemingly made of jet, a hardened black stone with magical properties. Its seemingly delicate wings grow starting from its shoulders and end just passed its shoulder blades. The wings are almost angel-like, the skin of the wings seems to glow as if made from fire itself and small, sharp tips grow from each ending like massive spears. Its narrow tail ends in a mace-like growth and is covered in the same abrasive blackish skin as its body.<br/><br/><br/>“There there, Yvirth, calm yourself amongst your kin” Maddox soothed his dragon as he ran his gloved hand over his rough scales. The dragon snorted and grinned at his Master as he nestled down in the grass.<br/><br/>“Why wouldn’t I my dear? I see you have summoned yours as well” he pointed out as the final dragon landed next to Yvirth.<br/><br/><br/>This beast had narrow amber blazing eyes that sat rooted within the creature's angular, scaled skull, which gives the creature a rather menacing looking appearance. Two small red crystal growths sit atop its head, just above its narrow, curved ears. Several rows of horns runs down the sides of each of its jaw lines. Its nose is thick and has two profuse, angular nostrils and there's a tendril on its chin that curls. Several sharp jagged teeth poke out from the side of its mouth yet not revealing what horrors await within. The beast has a strong neck that runs down from its head and into an exquisite muscular orange and red tinged body. The top is covered in red stone-like scales and a row of yellow fan-like growths runs down its spine. Its bottom is covered in shiny scale-like skin and is colored differently than the rest of its body. Four mighty limbs carry its body and allow the creature to stand mighty and intimidating. Each limb has 6 digits, each of which end in sharp claws seemingly made of amber. Terrifying wings grow starting from just above its shoulders and end at the lower end of its back. The wings are rounded, bone structures are clearly visible through the thin layer of skin and small, sharp tips grow from each ending like massive spears. Its simple tail ends in a sharp tip and is covered in the same red stone-like scales as its body.<br/><br/><br/>Azurine walked past them both towards her dragon and pressed her seemingly tiny form against its body. “You’re here Mymbess!” Azurine exclaimed as she hugged on her beast.
