(Legal crap here. Zato Copywrite me, yadda yadda.))

Veon, Ruby, and Pink sat Osia and Zato next to each other on some mats, before Ruby and Veon bolted back out to return to the battle that was raging outside. However, Pink sat there in front of her now human mate and sobbed, she cried like he had died.

"Why...why is it bad things follow you like a curse..."

She lowered a claw to his cheek and gently rubbed over the sweat covered flesh and tried to fight back her tears, but to no avail. He always faced his problems alone, by himself. So many problems that he himself had somehow started. Ragna? All the attacks on his life from the humans? Was being the last demon dragon such a bad thing? It should be a good thing! Suddenly, she felt a hand placed on top of hers. Her thoughts instantly dissolved away as she looked into her mates eye, a bright sky blue eye that looked at her with utter love even though he had to be in a lot of pain.

"My love....you must rest."

A smile greeted her words as he sat up and gently locked his arms around her neck and pulled her down into a tight, loving snuggle as she fell and came to a rest on top of his surely sore body. Though, she didn't try to move, other then moving her head up to nuzzle against his cheek and coo faintly into his ear. She didn't notice, but he had already fallen back into sleep as her attention was suddenly shifted over to Osia, who let out a low whimper. Pink could easily tell she could not talk, but she knew what she wanted to know.

"He is fine, Osia. You need more rest then him. Look at you, you look horrible. I will-"

She was cut off as Kizna came screaming in and stopped next to her daughter and instantly took her into a hug, sobbing like she had just lost her. As she hugged, she began to glow and try to heal her while Pink stood,carefully moving out of Zatos hold and slowly moved out of the room, giving a soft smile before she turn and bolted up to the walkways to see how the battle was going.

=====

Ruby and Veon were back to back with orcs around them, weapons held high and aimed at the two. They both let out low growls and glared to them, there bodies were far too tired to take these orcs on. No matter how many times you hit an orc, they just seemed to come back at you. Showed why they were such good fighters, they didn't feel nor knew what pain was.

"Sister...it seems we might just find out how much we are alike to our mate."

"Aye sister, but let us see if we can take some with us to do our experiment!"

Both let out roars now as they charged forward and instantly clashed blade to blades, while the archers high atop the gates began to pick off the orcs who were not close to them and some that were. The archers were not that good of a shot, so they didn't want to risk injuring their leaders.

=====

Pink slid to a halt on the gateway and instantly grabbed a bow and some arrows before scanning over the horizon. As she did, she could only gasp. The alliance, as one of the other archers had said far earlier, had begun to fight back but it was clear that the dragons were finally winning. She didn't like that so many dead laid upon the once picturesque scenery around the kingdom gates.

She shrugged that off for now as he bright yellow eyes continued to scan around and finally she noticed her sisters locked in a failing battle against some orcs. She quickly loaded up the bow and took aim, however as she raised the bow into position the hulking form of her mates Zanbatou sliced through the air and killed the orcs surrounding the two. Thankfully, her sisters had ducked just in time when that noticeable hymn the blade made as it sliced the air reached their ears. Instantly after, the three looked to who threw it and seen Zato standing awkwardly while resting again the gates to the kingdom. And finally, they seen that he had taken the same human shape as before, save for now all his scars were there to be seen, not really bothering to examine him before now

"Pink! Three Wyverns diving!"

Her mates still deep, dark voice reached her ears and she looked to the sky to see three wyverns diving. Though, shortly after she spotted them, they fell from the sky from the same weapon that had killed the orcs, her mates Zanbatou. She shot her glaze back down and he was now in-between Ruby and Veon, both shocked expression on their faces.

"End this battle now! We've had enough lose their lives here today!"

He roared out as best he could, he may have been human but every dragon took those words to heart and instantly clashed with what strength they had left, hoping to end this and settle it once and for all. They were already missing the peace they once cherished, though everyone felt the weight that no more peace would be had.

Zato looked around as best his blurring eye could, a glare on his face. He knew the elders had been fighting earlier, hell he talked to them. Where were they? Where the fuck was his friends now that he thought about it? His thoughts were shattered as a whistling noise filled his ears and with it, he raised his arm up into the air before his Zanbatous handle slammed into his fist. Oh how he loved runes and enchantment's, made weapons so much more fun.

"Elders! Friends! Why are you hiding!? What do you fear?!"

As he tried to calm down after his little fit, he sighed and lowered his gaze to the ground with a few tears falling down his cheeks. What if they were killed? No, they were far too wise and knew battle far more then anyone else in the kingdom.

"Oh quit complaining Zato, we are right here."

Zato snapped his head back to look upon Riil, letting out the best growl he could as he aimed the point of his blade at him and spoke out in the slowest, and darkest tone his throat could muster now. Of course now he was mad, seeing that they certainly not died, yet they seemed to not even have a drop of blood on them.

"You come and help to only run and hide, what kind of elder are you?"

Riil glared to Zato and clawed at the ground as the others moved up and gently tried to calm him down. With that going on, Zatos friends moved and circled around him as they looked over his human form, the females giggling as they did.

"My my....the human Zato is hung....I wonder if the dragon Zato was as well."

"Tuy, not now."

Zato replied rather simply as he continued to look to Riil, who now had softened his glare to a normal stare as he looked upon the human in front of him, even though not even twenty minutes before this human had been a dragon.

"Zato, we did not hide. We followed, and took out, most of those that were retreating. The leader and two of his generals vanished into the woods to the south before we could get them."

"Eh, the trolls well take care of them."

Zato replied immediately before he looked to Pink, who was now covering him with some clothes she had stripped from a human corpse. A simple red shirt, sleeveless, and pants that only reached half-way down his shins. He couldn't help but itch and wiggle around from these clothes, humans wore such uncomfortable materials. Sheeps wool?

"Zato...If I may..."

Raga said as he moved up and gave a little bow of his head, before he launched full on into his story.

"After we left you earlier we did retreat back into the castle gates, but only to find those two humans you sent in earlier. We found them in the prison, still there if I might add."

"What? Why!? Those two helped me, regardless of being human they should not have been locked up!"

Zato shot back, those two did help him, why would they get locked up because of that?

"If I may continue, all we know is that they have been accused of attacking Arthur soon after entering the kingdom and are scheduled for execution, at Noon in four days. When we did talk to them, we found out that Ragna is well...out of ideas now. He did not expect that we would be fight back."

A few laughs muttered out around them, having seeming to draw a crowd around them, as Raga just continued on.

"Though, after continuing the questioning and some....subtle threats, we learned that as a last resort he is going to go and try to get the Elves, Drawves, Trolls, more Orcs and of course more Wyverns. However, he also plans to make another...well....as they said....spell...."

The crowd around them, as well as some Elders and Zato, now all had shocked expressions as they continued to listen. However, Zatos expression soon changed as a realization struck him. Ragna was planning to do another Demon Dragon curse...but now it would probably end up being worse.

"Oh...its not a Demon Dragon curse...he plans to make a spell that will render those who it is cast upon under full control of him...and a few choice others."

Well, there went that idea out of the window. This seemed far, far worst though.

"So let me guess Raga...this spell is to be aimed at Dragons, huh?"

Zato said as he took a few steps forward and crossed his arms over his chest in front of the dragon, looking off at nothing but at the same time everything. Why, why Ragna....is revenge that important to you now? He shook that off now as he begun to look around at everyone. Everyone had worried stuck on them, but mostly Pink, Veon, Ruby, and himself most likely. If he was making such a spell he would want to target those with much more power in the kingdom.

"Riil, I'd like you and the other elders to always stay on the tower. Ruby, Pink, and Veon stay in our room in the castle."

Pink and the other two went to jump in, but he quickly silenced them with a finger and continued.

"Ranga will certainly try to control those with the highest power. I myself will rarely leave the castle as well. Godaris, I see you behind the elders. I wish for you and Arthur to stay in the castle as well. We will all relay orders from our respective areas, will never go near any others other then a few chosen individuals. No complaints."

A purple dragon moved up from the crowd of soldiers and let out a soft growl, clearly by the sound of the voice placing her as a dragoness.

"And just why should we listen to you now? You have been turned to a human, you are not a dragon anymore. How do we know that he hasn't already taken control of you? All of this seems to be because of you anyways! The deaths are because of you! The chaos! The war!"

Zato simply shot the dragoness a glare before giving a shrug aimed at her and began to make his way to the kingdom, knowing now he would face a lot of torture from the population, seeing how he was now a human...well a dragon in humans skin.

"Fine, Don't listen to someone who has done all he has been able too to protect this kingdom and the inhabitants. Im barely...hell...700 now? I shouldn't be in this position anyway. My life is nothing but a curse, I don't really care anymore."

He continued on to the faint mutters and whispers of those behind him, and of course the sound of his mates and the elders following him. He knew these ones would follow him into the kingdom, however, following his orders...he doubted his mates would listen to him anymore. Hell, he couldn't believe he was human now, let alone anyone would listen to him.

"Alright love, We'll wait in the castle."

Pink said with nothing but love in her voice, he may be human now but he was still her mate. Veon and Ruby quickly gave nods to confirm that they too were going to listen to him as well.

"We will also stay on the tower, sure we will not like being trapped up there, but it is best for the kingdom."

The elders all gave a nod now as well, he was still the one they entrusted with power over the actions of the kingdom, they believed he would do his best to protect them. Even with the slight chance that he was under the control of Ragna, but these orders didn't seem to be from one who was under the control of another. Why tell them to hide instead of keeping themselves wide open by walking around the kingdom?

"And I will stay trapped in the old, empty castle."

A long sigh left Godaris now as he lowered his head. Oh how he hated being trapped in there, he missed fighting alongside his brothers and sisters, the thrill of another kill...wait a minute.

"Zato...who is going to go after Ragna and try to persuade the others of the continent not to join in with the humans?"

Zato spun around to face the white dragon and let out a soft laugh. A king asking someone like him for advice, it never got old.

"Easy Godaris. You are king, send messengers to the other kingdoms and plead with them to stay out of the fight. It is dragon and human matters after all, isn't it? Oh...Ruby...lend me your knife please."

Ruby gave a few blinks to that and handed him one of the spares on her tail. A simple, yet elegant blade. Roughly twelve inches long, about an inch and a half wide, with a small width and shaped like that of a dragons fang, ironic that she called it Dragons Fang.

"What is it for?"

She asked her mate as they drew past the guards at the gates, giving them a simple bow on the way. She never did get her answer, as he mate sprinted off to the dungeons.

"You'll find out later....wouldn't want you plagued with the thoughts right now, so soon after the war! Go to the castle and relax!"

Everyone gave blinks before he vanished around the corner, a few dragons walked along the streets staring at the human who had suddenly passed them. They were too confused to do know what to do....

"Godaris, draw everyone to the castle. Before anything we should announce that our Dragon turned human should not be eaten on sight."

"Aye Elder."

With that, everyone split from each other and they all went to their own areas. Though, during all of this, they did not realize that they had been watched by a pair of gray eyes in an alley, watching and listening to everything they said before vanishing into the sky in a quick pump of his wings, only a golden blur seen as he did so.

=====

Ragna paced near the shoreline of a small lake in the woods, mumbling profanities to himself as Derrik and Hollow simply sat on their horses. They wouldn't dare say anything to him now, so soon after such a humiliating defeat at the hands of a race who hasn't fought in ages.

"Where the hell is he! He should have--"

Ragna was cut off as a loud thud sounded behind him, both Derrik and Hollow fighting to keep their horses steady, as Ragna simply turned to look into the now grey eyes of Arthur. A large grin glueing itself to his face as he looked upon the golden dragon, full proof the spell worked now. Sure, the spell was a hassle to do, but it paid off. A dragon under full control of your every whim and wish! Oh...he couldn't wait until he did this to his main target.

"So...tell me everything my little slave."

Arthur bowed low before he shifted himself over to an anthro form, kneeling infront of his human master before he began to say what he wanted to hear.

"Master, Zato has commanded that everyone of high rank stay inside of specified areas with only one to a few others going anywhere near them until this has blown over. He is, as you hoped for, still human though they are about to hold a kingdom wide meeting to relay that he is not to be harmed. Also, he is going to be in the castle with his mates."

Ragnas grin had only widened during this, it was all going as planned now. Sure, the battle hadn't gone exactly as he had hoped, though that would soon change. His plans were all falling into place.

"King Godaris is also going to be sending messengers to the other nations to try and get them to stay out of the next war, however since you have already gotten their word of an allied attack at your command, that will not happen and the messengers will most likely be killed on sight."

"Aye, and of the two who betrayed me?"

Arthur gave another nod as he continued.

"Zato ran off in the directions of the prison soon after entering the kingdom gates. He is most likely about to kill them, since he is carrying his mates dagger."

"Perfect."

Derrick and Hollow both looked to each other now, both of them completely baffled. When did Ragna do all that?

=====

"Let me go you idiots! I am not a...I look like a fucking human but I am not a human!"

Zato yelled out at the top of his lungs as two brown dragons carried him to the dungeons, they had been ignoring him since he had turned the last corner to get here. However, thanks to his new...appearance, they clearly didn't believe him nor trust him. Surprising that he was not killed on first sight.

"Shut up human, Prince Arthur has said to arrest any humans on sight and throw them in the cell with the others."

"I..."

A smile spread across his face as he lowered his sight back onto the ground and gave a soft chuckle to himself. Oh, how glad he was these two had not checked him. Now that he knew these two were taking him to the two he was targeting, he would simply let them and then spring the news on them.

"Alright, we are here. Shala, check him for weapons."

"Fuck..."

He muttered out as the other brown began to pat his tail down along the sides of his pant legs before his claws ripped out the blade from his pants, muttering out as the large brown examined it before his eyes shot open.

"This is Miss Ruby's blade! How in the hell did this human get it?! Kill him!"

"Gods..."

Zato let out a long sigh escaped his mouth before he snapped his armor around himself and stood up as the two stopped themselves from grasping their blades, letting out equally shocked gasps before dropping in a bow.

"Sir Zato! We are terribly sorry! We did not know! We couldnt tell...you're human...we didn't..."

"Oh just shut it and give me that blade and the key to this cell."

Both moved quickly now and handed him both the blade and the key to the cell before they quickly dismissed themselves. As they did, he gave a slow turn and looked dead into the eyes of the little kid who had been there earlier to draw out the blade. The woman right behind her, though behind her was another twenty or so humans. Both males and females huddled against each other, clearly it was cold down here...however, Zato nor the other dragons felt it.

"So...came to get us out of here, Zato?"

The female spoke out, drawing the attention of the others as he made his helmet sink back underneath his skin before giving a soft grin while he moved his hand up and unlocked the cell, though he held it shut for now.

"Oh no...quite the opposite...however, It would seem it is going to take longer then I had first thought. No matter...it will end the same."

His grin spread now as he lifted the blade and quickly opened the cell door before he bolted inside and began to do what he had first planned when he heard the two he had let come in with his complete trust shattered it in an instant. Soon, they would pay with their blood.

=====

Pink was now pacing around the large room her and her sisters shared with Zato, with both Ruby and Veon watching her every step from the large bed. None of them really took the time to look upon the room. To notice the silk bedsheets, painted like the mates scales, the vases, gems, gold, hell...everything one could wish for. None of that mattered to them, nor would it ever.

"Sister...please, relax. You know Zato would never do anything foolish. Stop think he is going to kill the two humans he let in. You know he wont do something like that."

Ruby told her sister in the soft, most loving tone she had ever uttered in any of their presence. However, it went completely ignored by Pink who continued to worry about what her mate was doing. However, a few bits of Rubys words did make it to her mind.

"And just what do you think he planned to do with that knife you gave him? Sharpen a stick?!"

"Sister..."

"Ruby, just shut the hell up! I just...I just want peace and quiet and he gets back..."

Pink collapsed down onto her knees as she clutched her head, so much had been going wrong. None of this was normal, she didn't want none of this! No power, no wealth! Nothing! She had just wanted to live with Zato, Ruby, and Veon alone in some part of the woods or by a lake, or something! She had kill who knows how many today, she didn't keep count like the others...she just wanted it to end...she prayed that she wouldn't have to kill again....maybe she could get Zato to stop as well...

=====

"There...mistake nullified."

Zato looked to what he had caused, a grin plastered to his face as he looked over the dead forms that were once the humans in the cell. Both the woman and child on top of a small pile of them as he walked out of the cell, no need to stand in the blood all day. His mistake had been taken care of. He should have known better then to let those humans inside of the kingdom without them doing something stupid.

He continued to make his way out of the dungeons, passing dragon after dragon locked away for their own sins they had commited during some period of their life before he rounded a corner and came face to well neck with Arthur, who let out a gasp as he looked over the blood soaked form of Zato.

"Zato! What did you do!?"

"Those two were going to be executed anyway, I just made the execution date earlier is all. Now, if you don't mind. Need to go visit a pond or something before I go back to my mates."

"Oh no...you're coming with me."

Before Zato could even respond, he found himself locked in Arthurs jaws and knew if he was to struggle, the fangs would cut him relentlessly.

"Since I don't have a choice in the matter...where are we going?"

A laugh was the only response he got before his world went dark.

=====

Several hours passed by quickly to the stress and worry ridden Pink, who was now a crying heap on the floor with Veon and Ruby trying their damndest to make her feel better, but no matter what they tried, nothing seemed to bring their sister back. She just continued to cry and rock, the last thing she had even said to them was she felt a pain in her heart before she ended up like this.

"Veon, go look for Zato...I'll stay here with her."

"No, Zato said not to leave..."

"Veon! Go d--"

Ruby was cut off as a knock came to their door followed shortly after by another. Veon reluctantly got up and moved over to answer it, slowly pulling the large wooden door open before Kizna bursted into their room followed shortly by Godaris, Ryu, and Angelus.

"Where is Zato?! Where is Osia!? Where are they?!"

"Kizna...what happened?"

Ruby and Veon both looked to her before Pink drew their attention as she stood up and slowly made her way to Godaris, her blood-shot eyes meeting his own tired eyes.

"What happened Godaris?"

She spoke out in barely a whisper, causing a long pause as Godaris tried to figure out if he had heared her right before he gave a soft sigh and looked to Kizna, who was now like Pink a few minutes before. Angelus, Veon, and Ruby trying to comfort her while listening in.

"It would seem both Zato and Osia have vanished...we checked the prison and only found death. Every gaurd, every prisoner, all dead...we only found this by the door."

He moved his paw forward, handing Rubys bloodied blade to Pink who instantly began to sniff it before she threw it across the room with a look of disgust on her face.

"Just smells like blood...."

Pink whimpered out aloud now before she collapsed onto the ground, shivering all over as she tried to process this. Why did her mate kill them all?!

"Pink...that blade only killed the humans....claws and teeth killed the guards...we know Zato did not turn back because he would have made his...achievement known to all...and he has been on a killing rampage since then."

Pink looked up to him now as he lowered down to give soft licks to her cheeks to clear away the tears. He hated seeing anyone like this.

"Someone kidnapped both Zato and Osia...how?"

Godaris let out a sigh now as he thought for a moment before his eyes went wide.

"Of course! We go to the elders! They can tell us!"

With that, everyone was rushing to the elders tower with everyone ounce of strength they could muster out of their bones. They had to get there fast before something worse happened to either of the two.

=====

"Jeez...I hate how he takes his time coming back!"

Ragna yelled out as he paced the courtyard, circling around the Cherry blossom trees as he waited for his slave to come back with his new slaves. He had been waiting for this day for so long, being this close to victory was driving him made! He just couldn't wait anymore!

"Get back already!"

And just like that, Arthur gave a soft landing inbetween a row of trees in front of Ragna with an unconscious Zato hanging out of his maw and a whimpering Osia in his front claws. Of course now Ragna was giggling like a little girl, oh...victory was in his hands now. This would be over so quickly, it was about to make him pass out.

"Perfect!"

He bolted over to Zato as Arthur placed him on the ground and backed away, holding onto the weak Osia as she thrashed all that she could and tried to help her brother. However, her body was just too weak to do anything other then to hurt right now.

"Hey Zato! Wake up!"

Ragna was now shaking Zato, who was letting out a soft groan before he sat up and shook his head. As he did, the rest of his armor blended into his skin as he looked around him. A slow smile passed over his face as he eyes slowly focused in on the trees around him. Oh, how long he wanted to see these trees again. He prayed day after day...but then realization struck him. If he was looking at these trees, he was at...He bolted up and spun around before his armor snapped back on, glaring to Ragna as the human just gave him a playful smile and bounced around like a school-girl.

"Why hello there my old friend! It has been far too long that we have both been here, hasn't it?!"

"Ragna, you are insane...you are not the human I once called friend...you have changed...."

He lowered down to a lower posture as he moved his arms forward, clearly ready to fight. However, Ragna just let out a chuckle and pointed behind Zato, causing him to slowly and reluctantly turn to face Arthur who had a grin like Ragna did five minutes ago, with Osia in his clutches with two clawed-fingers tracing along her neck.

"Arthur! You traitor! I should have guess it was you!"

"Oh...but it wasn't!"

Zato spun back around to face Ragna now as he dashed forward and threw a punch aimed at his face, though as if Ragna had practiced it a million times over, he leaned back and let out a laugh as a punch came to Zato's gut. The humans hand forcing the armor to blend back into his skin. He let out a chocked-cough before he tumbled onto the ground, clutching his stomach as Ragna just crouched down over him.

"Zato, don't try that again or your little sister over there is going to be well...meeting your ancestors."

"Let her go! Isn't this whole thing between me and you anyway!?"

Zato spun around on the ground with a fist aimed at Ragnas cheek. It contacted, but it seemed to not even effect the human who was now just smiling down at him as a loud cry filled the air. Forcing Zato to look to his sister who now had a long cut along her arm.

"I said do not do that. Next time she will die by my little slaves hands."

Zato spat out now at the human who simply dodged the spit and smiled all the more.

"Oh its fun being able to control dragons like Arthur over there. I can't wait to do it to you and Osia as well."

Zatos eyes opened wide now, he had perfected that spell! Just how many were under his control now?! How many were in danger back at the kingdom. He gave a strong shake of his head now, he shouldn't be worrying about them right now...he was sure his mates would be able to take care of things. Now, he just needed to focus on his sister getting out of here safely.

"Let her go! There is no reason to have her here! Just let her go back to the kingdom! I'll do what you ask!"

"Oh I know you will...but I am keeping her around just in case you break out of the spell. Can't really believe a demon dragon who nearly conquered his demon would let a spell like this one effect him too long, eh?"

=====

"By the gods...Arthur is helping the humans! He took both Zato and Osia to Ragnas kingdom!"

Riil was shocked to see this, just how long had this spell been on Arthur? Back during the days when he was buying information about kingdoms? Or after that? Or was Arthur willing doing all of this? He just couldn't believe it...though as he looked to Godaris, who was just as shocked as he was and on the verge of tears, he knew Godaris couldn't believe that it was his own son that was helping the humans, once again their biggest enemy.

"Elder Riil, we must attack the kingdom! We have to rescue them before something terrible happens!"

Pink yelled out as she forced her way up to him, just as he made the little cloud they had watched the past on vanish. He couldn't help but let out a laugh as he looked upon her, if only it was that easy. They would have attacked the instant they had witnessed it all, not after.

"Pink, We can't simply send an attack at the humans right now. I mean, we just ended a war. Everyone is tired, weakened. No one is willing to attack right now. You know no one is in the condition to do so, just as much as I and the others Elders know. We want too, we really do. However, you know Zato can get out of this mess just like he has before."

Pink shot the elder a glare that could kill as he said that, did he think she was stupid?! She knew that all too well, but she just couldn't let her mate and Osia be prisoners to the humans!

"Pink..."

Pink looked to her side as a Pink dragoness elder moved up to her and gave a soft nuzzle to her, Pink taken aback by this, gave her a shocked look before backing away.

"You must understand, we can not simply attack right now. And you know, better then anyone of us, what your mate would want you to do. Zato isn't foolish..."

"I know but..."

"Pink, what would he want you to do?"

Pink gave a long pause now as she looked to Veon and Ruby, who gave reluctant nods, before she looked back to the Pink elder.

"He would want us to stay here and wait for the right moment to strike...wait for our forces to heal, gather their strength...and he would want us to have a solid plan...so wait and plan we shall...though he is a hypocrite since he would just charge in like a bull seeing red...."

She, along with her sisters, were fighting back tears as they made their way down the towers stairwell. As they left, Angelus moved up and quietly addressed the elders.

"Elders, If I may?"

Riil gave a soft chuckle to the dragoness as he and the pink elder sat back down on their mats, before they all looked to her.

"You may, my child."

"What....what if..."

She paused as she looked to make sure Pink and the other two were gone before she looked over to Zatos parents and relucatantly continued.

"What if the humans make Zato and Osia attack the kingdom...if they do the spell quickly and do...of course, if Zato doesn't get away with Osia first. However, with Arthur there, it might be hard for him too...being human now of course."

Kizna buried her head in Ryu's shoulder and began to cry, hard, from Angelus saying that. And it tore Angelus inside, but she wanted to know. So, she just kept her sight on the elders as they all looked to each other and slowly, almost gravely gave a nod to each other.

"We will capture them....however hard it might be....killing will only be the last, last resort."

"And of my son, should he attack?"

Godaris asked as he moved forward, who had been clearly been crying for some time now as his eyes were blood-shot.

"The same. Do not think we would kill your son before even trying to save him."

Godaris lowered his head and dismissed himself before both Ryu and Kizna left as well, leaving Angelus with all of the elders looking to her.

"My child? Is there something else?"

"Elders....what if....what if the worst is to happen....and the human Ragna learns how to get Zatos demon to re-emerge from his soul...and therefore unleashes the Demon Dragon like the old tales?"

"We will kill him on sight."

Rill muttered out softly, getting gasps from every elder and Angelus.

"Why?!"

Riil looked up to see Pink rushing to him before a hard slap came to his cheek.

"He will beat his demon! I know he will! Don't think he will let that demon win!"

Riil simply kept his head cocked to the side as Ruby and Veon slowly dragged her to the stairs before moving down the staircase with Angelus following behind. Only then did Rill move his head back up and shot a glare to the door, each of the elders laughing at the sight, save for the pink dragoness...

"This charade is utterly pissing me off! Let's go, tired of waiting anymore."

One of the elders shot up and grinned a maniac grin to the oldest of them.

"Finally?! After all this time we get to leave and attack this prison of ours?!"

"Aye my friend, finally. After countless centuries we can finally attack this hell hole and all of its weak citizens! To Zato! The one who shall end the age of weakness for the dragons! Start it over with a clean slate!"

All of them shot off of the tower and flew straight towards their destination, the kingdom that contained their prices and weapons, as the pink elder flew slower then the others. Though, even with all of their magic and visions, they could not see that three sets of eyes had been on them the entire time.

To be continued...
