//------------------------------// // Dark dimension // Story: Secret of the Silver Dragon // by The Psychopath //------------------------------// Two very strange beings stood atop Floating dark cliffs, completely opposite from eachother. They were in a very frightening place. It looked like an apocalyptic area. Several destroyed buildings here, the sky made of nothing but red and dark purple, both swaying like waves of a current there, and the worst part was the effects this place had on all the uninvited creatures there...well...all but one. This dimension was made of pure darkness and antimatter, and the Silver Dragon controlled that element. He was the one who sent everyone there. Underneath him stood a battle between demons and warriors. They were not paying attention to the corrosive effects of the atmosphere on their bodies and armors. The being opposite of the Silver Dragon was lying down on one knee and grasped the left side of it's chest. This being was a giant, even surpassing the Dragon by a few feet. It had bat-like wings that looked like they were composed of two seperate segments. It's hands and arms were very big and bulky. It's fingers ended in very sharp but short claws, and the hands seemed to have some sort of star surrounded by runes burned into them. This creature's head had an elongated maw and very long horns that curved upwards halfway through, and then back again. They formed a type of sideways "U". It had it's left eye closed, and the entirety of the left portion of the face seemed burnt. It's legs were that of a type of wolf of immense size and power. The creature was colored a charcoal black, and it's eyes looked like the twilight of the sky: blue iris with the rest being black, except for the randomly sparkling dots that appeared every now and then. "Give it up,Belforay. Just because you are a level 4 demon doesn't mean I can't destroy you." said the Silver Dragon. "Hmph. Boasting early, are we? Pitiful creature. You claim to have immense power in our world, yet you come from another. How does this form of "fleeing" get you anywhere?" "Lemme see...I can return to my own dimension, where more of my kind lives, I have spatial and dimensional rendering powers, and I control the elements of light and darkness..." the boasting Dragon through his right arm out with it's hand open, and an immense ball of darkness formed. The same happenned with the left. "...so I think you're pretty screwed." "I still cannot believe that anything like that is possible! I'M A DEMON LORD! Yet I cannot wield light! How is it that a being like you can wield both? A pathetic... coward." "Because the elements side with noone. You think that light is the opposite of darkness, and that darkness consumes and destroys all...well...that isn't true. Light can do the exact.Same.Thing." "That still doesn't explain how you can wield both." The Silver Dragon sighed in annoyance. "For something that is over fifty-thousand years old, you sure are unenlightened." "I believe that my army is gaining a victory of that order you joined." The Silver Dragon looked down to see that the warriors that were on his side were starting to suffer the effects of the dark dimension. He took it to himself immediately to deal with this himself. He jumped down from his perch and landed on two demons, crushing them outwright. A stabbing motion with his right arm, and a few spears came out and impaled the demons, lifting them slowly into the air. He looked towards the wounded warriors standing behind him and, with the formation of a ball of light, opened a portal to the "regular" dimension. "Go now. I'll finish this myself." "But sir!" yelled a paladin. "No buts. If you want to survive to fight another day, then you'll have to leave. You cannot help anyone in death." "...I got it. Good luck." "I'll be back eventually...don't fret." With a salutation, the paladin followed his comrades through the portal, that the dragon soon closed and reabsorbed. Belforay struggled to stand up and a loud bellowing echoed throughout the dimension as the Silver creature dropped the now drained emons onto the floor. They were quickly grabbed by firey portals that closed soon afterwards. "How will you fight us now?! You are all alone!" "Hmph. I may have not yet encountered a demon of the apocalypse, but you will certainly not survive me." "Hahahaha! KILL HIM!" The smaller demons moved slowly forward as the Dragon did not move. He only showed an expression of boredom on his face. One of the lesser demons struck at it's enemy, the blade being made of a jagged black material. It broke on contact. The demon pulled it's sword back and looked at it then the Silver creature in shock. "Awwww. What's the matter? Did your wittle toy bweak? SHOCKWAVE FOR YOUR THOUGHTS?!" A rapid follow-up of manoevres and a gigantic wave of light flew over a large portion of the demon army, causing them to quickly desintegrate. This infuriated the others, who started to attack their enemy with vigor and fury. The Dragon used a variety of techniques with the darkness and the light. From forming some type of spiked gauntlet over his right forearm, to literally created an explossive with the light and throwing it into a large group of the demons. The ensuing explosion blew a massive hole in the demonic legion. Belforay raged in anger. He tore his double-headed axe from the ground, as well as his rune cannon from his leg and jumped off his cliff. The smaller demons in his way were swept aside with a swing of his weapon. He stopped just to aim his one-haned cannon at the Silver Dragon, who noticed and faded out of view before the projectile could hit. The explosion became a blue ball formed of cursed spirits who grabbed the demons around them and drained them of all lifeforce. "STOP MOVING!" "As if. For a demon of your calibur, you sure are weak." "How dare you. You pitiful worm. I will stomp on you then devour your soul." "I'd like to see you try." The Dragon had gotten to about the same height as the demon. His smirk exhasperated the gargantuan, who striked at the dragon with it's axe. The axe cut the dragon, but by only a bit. Instead of blood, dust started to come out. The demon stepped back in confusion as his enemy just watched the wound close. "Intriguing. A demonic metal that I have not yet assimilated." "Why do you bleed dust and ash?" "My age. Anything from me that separates from my body, except for my scales, instantly turn to dust." "You are irritating." "You're not the first to say that." Belforay and the Silver Dragon began to sprawl with eachother, each miss destroying a portion of the land they stood on. However, the sound of a whistle screeched throughout the land they were fighting in. Both fighters stopped, as the Dragon tried to discern the sound's location. "No. I thought I destroyed them all." "Hm?" While Belforay struggled to stand up, using his melee weapon as a holding cane, a portal opened up right behind him. The Dragon shrunk to his basic size, just to see the demon startng to get some form of scent from the portal. "Ahhhhh! The sweet scent of innocence and magic! I will retreat for now. We will meet again, and this time, I will be the victor of this outcome." "No! Don't go through it!" But it was too late. The demon had already gone through. The Dragon sprinted to get into the portal before it closed. The only thing he could see was that bastard slowly descending through the tunnel they were in. He tried to grab the demon before it could dissappear, but it turned around and saluted the Silver creature before distorting and dissappearing. The dragon roared in fury: "JIRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" He kept fury in his mind. Whatever world they had gone to, it was too innocent to have demons flying around in it, and it's magical capabilities were immense! However, his left arm reacted to the patches of concentrated darkness dotted all around whatever that world was. There was something particular about it for this phenomenon. There was also an immense amount of light coming from what could be mountains, yet they were slightly tainted. What could be the source. Staying invisible would be the best thing to do, except for the opening of the portal, and the floating above a populated area. He was falling in too fast, and, as a consequence, the Dragon could barely discern anything properly. During the descent, he barely noticed anything flying in the air, if not for a rainbow-colored...thing. A narrow dodge, and he was descending directly towards the ground. But what was this? After plowing through a cloud, he noticed that there was a town down there. Shhiiiiiiii-crap! He didn't notice the cart nor the creature that was pulling it. He did notice a golden colored creature jump out of the way before twisting himself so that it was his legs now facing the ground, and not his face. A loud *BOOM*, and he had come to a stop, much to the dismay of the land around him. Tons of dust had thrown itself into the air, and he couldn't make out anything threw it. "Where is this? Nothing there...nothing there...no-what is this? Immense magical buildup in such a tiny area. Let's see what these beings are."
