If it wasnt for him, this story wouldnt have happened. Also, all characters here are copyright of Eurasia21xx. Do not use in your stories without consulting me first.  \n  \n  \n  \nHis hand was retracted from Eurasia's chest, chuckling as he saw him lifeless before his eyes,   \n\"Stop playing dead Eurasia. You cannot die while inside my mind, since I control everything   \nhere. You die when I want you to, and not before...\"  \n  \nIt was quiet for a few moments, before Eurasia suddenly opened his eyes and started to cough out   \nblood once more. He saw that his broken and battered chest reformed back to normal, but the pain   \nstill remained. This is what he has been enduring for the past three days, his darker side   \nwanting to know something he had no knowledge of.  \n  \nBefore Aisarue could continue his session with Eurasia, a voice in the real world broke his   \nconcentration. He quickly opened his eyes and looked around, liking the cold and dark feeling   \naround him as he already knew who was around him.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Aisarue....we meet at last. I see you enjoy giving Eurasia a hard time. But, he doesn't know   \nwhat are looking for. That power that was supposed to be passed down to his sons is known by me.   \nIf you want that power...come with me\", said a voice from the distance.   \n  \nWithout speaking, Aisarue got up and chuckled, \"Well, I didn't expect to get a visit from him.   \nBut it does make sense on how he knows and Eurasia doesn't. This will interesting...\", he said   \nominously, starting to walk towards where he felt the energy move.  \n  \n-  \n  \n\"Ok. Let me ask you again. Why do you feel the need to kill us all? What drives you to destroy?   \nYou need to tell me something or else nothing can be done, and you are going to be locked away   \nfor being a danger\", said Abu, at a control panel typing up all sorts of data. Falcon was in a   \nspecial cell, made to contain the worse kind of enemies and has the power to neutralize a   \ndragoon spirit. For almost an hour, Abu had been trying to get information out of him, but he   \njust remained silent, keeping a smirk on his face.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Nothing had been done since the interrogation started, and he was starting to get distressed.   \nBeing a non-violent person, he refused to resort to torture. To make it worse, he was one of the   \nfew dragoons who's dragoon spirit has yet awaken, so he also lacked power to enforce his words.   \nThis never however presented a problem since his intelligence was still far greater than that of   \neveryone dragoon.   \n  \nAbu gave out a sigh, getting frustrated that he cannot find that final piece to the puzzle.   \nFalcon's dark powers seemed to be different than that of Eurasia's, which made the code hard to   \ncrack. Without the last piece, saving Eurasia was nothing but a faint dream which could not be   \nachieved.  \n  \nSuddenly, something in his mind realized something, but it was too late to stop it. Knowing what   \nwas to come, he quickly copied the data to a secure location and made his way towards Falcon.  \n  \n\"So, I see you are planning to do it. I should have realized such a thing, this cage wasn't meant   \nto hold someone like you in it.\", he said, shutting off the area around them.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Falcon finally spoke, his voice very low and ominous, \"Well...I've had a crappy time here. What   \ndid you expect? Besides, as I told you that day...I will kill you. Kill you all...end the lives of all dragoons for denying me...\"  \n  \nNothing else was said, except for a huge explosion and a scream in D.O.O.P., causing a massive   \npanic as alarms rang.  \n  \n-  \n  \n\"I can't believe that Eurasia would leave this to us...We must do what we can.\", said Rizan,   \nputting away the P.I.C. into her side pouch along with the note. Shyranrya started to cry, while   \nHamelis tried comforting her.   \n  \n\"I can't believe it...even after...he...\"  \n  \nShyranrya couldn't even finish her sentence, too hurt by everything. She thought in her mind how   \nthe other two were staying strong and determined to help in anyway possible. Her crying and   \nsadness would only hold them back, which was not a good thing. With a quick huff, she wiped her   \ntears and sat up straight. Rizan and Hamelis both looked at her, as she started to speak.  \n  \n\"I'm sorry...I should be stronger like you two. I...I want to tell you how I met Eurasia...\",   \nshe said, still sniffling but slowly coming back to her normal self. They both smiled, as   \nHamelis gave her a big lick, \"Don't let our strong cover fool you...we are both devastated in   \nthe inside. The pain of seeing someone so kind...is almost impossible to keep inside, but we   \ncannot allow emotion take control. In order to be able to make a difference, we must be focused.   \nHowever...we do feel the sorrow as well...\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;A giggle was finally heard from Shyranrya's mouth, a good sign as Hamelis moved and sat by   \nRizan, allowing her to lie her head on her larger body.   \n  \n\"Ok, my story started as if I was in for a normal day...\"  \n  \n- 2 hours before the Auction  \n  \n  \n\"Ahhhh! Stop, please!\", a cry for help came from Shyranrya's cave. But along with the cries,   \nwere the sounds of hitting. She was on the floor, slightly bruised in front of a much larger   \ndragon, which scales shined of a bloody red. This dragon was male, covered in armor and about   \ntwelve feet tall, two feet higher than her height and wearing an armor of some type. It seemed   \nthat he was beating her with his bare fists.  \n  \n\"Why won't you do it!? I promise you the world and you spit in my face. No one ever denies me. I   \nalways get what I want!\", he proclaimed, smacking her in the face once more. She was knocked to   \nthe floor again, bleeding from her snout and one of her fangs dropping to the ground. Before she   \ncould get up, she was knocked to the wall with a devastating swift kick which broke the rock   \nbehind her.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"I'll be back in two days, to ask you again. If you don't, I'll have to resort to more dire   \nmethods of changing your mind. And thank you for the meal, I needed that. Humans are worthless even as servants, and serve only use as feed. No female dares says no to Hyde, the infamous dragon knight!\"  \n  \nWith the sound of his armor clanking as he walked off, her body was in much pain. Luckily, she   \nhad read a book on healing arts and prepared to heal up her broken jaw. This was not the first   \ntime Hyde had paid a visit. She was constantly being abused by him since the day she bought a   \nhuman a few months ago and they saw each other. It wasn't until she found out how he treats the   \nhumans he captures that she decided that he was no good. Although she did not care much for humans, the way Hyde whips and tortures the humans for personal enjoyment was too much for her to handle.  \n  \nTo make it worse, he ate the human she had bought from him about three weeks ago. But that was a   \nminor problem, since that human was nothing but trouble and resented her. In her mind, it was a   \nsmall loss.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"God...why did I have to get in such a mess...if it wasn't for my healing techniques, he   \nwould've killed me by now. Hes worse than any human I've been with...and I need to get a new one   \nnow. But, let me do something different...\"  \n  \nQuickly, after healing up, she changed from her normal attire of a black skirt with a white   \nblouse to a full black dress with a black cloak. For some reason, she seemed to have a big thing   \nfor that color. She was unsure why, but it didn't matter much as she walked out from her cave   \ninto the town, where dragons of all colors where abundant.   \n  \nEveryone was talking over about a loud bang earlier, but it seemed unimportant. She had just a   \nbit of time until the next auction, so she decided to go shopping in order to prepare. The town   \nwas bustling with activity, voices of bargains could be heard everywhere. However, one voice   \nseemed to stand out from the rest as she turned her head.  \n  \n\"You...the one with the black on...come here for a moment. I have something that might interest   \nyou.\"  \n  \nShe looked around before noticing that she is the only one with all black on her body, but felt   \na bit suspicious that someone would just call her. The cloak around her was taken off quickly,   \nher eyes surveying the area where she was called from Upon closer inspection, the voice came   \nfrom a cloaked character in an ally. The mysterious seller was very small, perhaps human sized   \nin her mind. Humans were no threat to her, so she decided to check it out.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;The cloaked figured chuckled, holding something in his hands, \"I see you did indeed come by...I   \nhave something for a dragoness just as yourself. Its a special box of incredible magical   \nmagnitude. Inside contains a magic like no other...and I will personally hand this item to   \nyou...for no charge.\"  \n  \nThe dragoness was dumbfounded, wondering why such an item for free. She looked down on him with   \na serious face, \"Wait...if this box is so great. why are you going to give it to me? Someone you   \ndon't even know. Sounds a bit suspicious...and you also seem too small to be a dragon.\"  \n  \n\"Well...things like that are not important right now. But, you should be heading towards the   \nauction. I heard a good human is up for sale this time, a human who's reliable and can get the   \njob done. I recommend you take this chance, before its too late...\"  \n  \nSuddenly, the figure tossed the box at her and jumped into the shadows. Shyranrya caught the box   \neasily, but was a bit surprised. When she walked out back into the town, the box was actually   \ngold colored with a blue design on it. The box was not that big compared to her size, but it   \nwasn't heavy at all, \"Hurr...what to do with this?...Maybe I could sell it for a good price. And   \nwhat did he mean by the auction...maybe I should check it out.\", she thought, putting the box in   \nher bag and walking towards the auction.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;As she made her way to the auction with a weird feeling, the words of that figure still in her   \nmind. Suddenly, she felt the need to put he cloak back, but before she could, a human tied in   \nropes run pass her, but only to run into a dragon knight.   \n  \n\"Oh no! Its Hyde!\", she yelped, quickly putting on her cloak and running off to the auction. The   \nsound of a slam and a scream of pain was all that she heard before hiding in the crowd of   \ndragons. The crowd was a bit shaken on how a human escaped, but Hyde soon dragged the human back   \nwith a smirk on his face.  \n  \nThe human was thrown back on the stage, bleeding and bruised. With his arms raised, Hyde   \naddressed the crowd, \"This human isn't going anywhere now! Now, begin the bidding! Well, as you   \nall saw, this human is full of energy! A rare find indeed! And due to his recent escape, you can   \nwell see he's worth a little more than our usual stock. Minimum bid is going to be 10 gold   \npieces, a steal for such a rare specimen!\"  \n  \nBefore long, bids were being placed of all sorts as Shyranrya looked into her pouch to see how   \nmuch she had. In her mind, she was reminded of the figure's words, about the auction.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Hmmm...maybe. I have a lot of extra gold and I do need a human around for chores...\", she   \nthought, before she looked up to the human. Her keen eyes saw that he was indeed healthy, not   \nweak and sickly like most that she had seen.   \n  \n\"200 gold pieces for that human!\", she shouted, getting gasps all around her. Paying a huge   \namount for a human is unheard of, but she didn't care. Hyde heard the bid and announced the   \nwinner. She handed her the gold while keeping her face hidden, hoping to keep herself unknow   \nfrom him. Before she knew it, she had a normal sized human in her arms, staring at her with   \nweary eyes. She put a grin on her face, looking back at him with plans already in her mind, \"You   \nare all mine... Tomorrow will be a big day for you...\"  \n  \n-   \n  \n\"...and it turns out that the human I bought was actually Eurasia. It must have been some luck   \nthat I was able to get him. After I took him home, he did everything I said, even though I was a   \nbit rough.\"  \n  \nBoth Hamelis and Rizan were so fascinated by her story, but also concerned.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Whoa...so you were beat up by that scum Hyde? That is so horrible...you don't deserve to be   \ntreated like that.\", said Rizan, sighing a bit.  \n  \n\"Yea, that no good...well, he got what he deserved. Thanks to Eurasia of course. During the time   \nthat he was with me, he saved me from him using his powers. It was frightening at first, but   \nwhen he explained everything after, I felt much more relaxed. But...after he left, that wasn't   \nthe last I'd heard of him. He came back a few days later to make peace talks among dragons and   \nhumans, but it was almost ruined by someone named...Falcon. He kidnapped me in order to get to   \nEurasia. I didn't think I would make it alive, since he threatened to kill me if I tried   \nanything. Eurasia came to the rescue and got me to safety, but he almost lost his life to him.   \nHe was saved by his close friends, as they entrusted me to heal up Eurasia back to perfect   \nhealth. After that, not much I'd seen on him.\", said Shyranrya, closing her eyes and giving a   \nlittle smile.   \n  \nBy surprise, Rizan pounced Shyranrya and pinned her down. She was caught completely off guard,   \nwiggling around and trying to get loose but couldn't, even though she was bigger than Rizan.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Hee-hee...you smiled. I guess that Eurasia has helped us all out. We must try to look for   \nsomething that might get him back. We do owe him for saving us all.\", Rizan said while helping up her pounce victim.   \n  \nThe other dragonesses agreed, and got set to thinking about what to do to bring back Eurasia.  \n  \n\"If hes darkness, I could purify the darkness within him.\", said Rizan with confidence.  \n  \nHamelis however disagreed with a shake of her head, \"Wait, if it was that easy, it would've been   \ndone by now. I don't think your powers are strong enough to purify the evil within him. It felt   \nalmost endless. If you wanted to, you would need much more magic power than what you have on   \nyour now.\"  \n  \nUpon hearing those words, Shyranrya had an idea, \"More magic power...wait...I think I might have   \nsomething for us to use! Its a long shot, and I was never able to get the damn thing open, but   \nif we do...\"  \n  \nSuddenly, there was a ray of hope for the three dragonesses, a plan on how to rescue Eurasia was   \nfinally in effect. Rizan got out the white P.I.C. from her pouch and analyzed it, \"Ok, so we   \nknow what the plan is right? Then lets do it!\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;-  \n  \n\"Where are we? I'm getting really sick of walking, and this shit hole is starting to piss me   \noff.\", said Aisarue, getting irritated from his surroundings. Following a figure in a dark   \npurple cloak, who has told him about the power left behind by his father. It sounded interesting   \nthat someone would know, but since then, they had entered a dark, damp cave with torches lighting the way.   \n  \nNothing had been said by the person leading, but Aisarue was confident that he was going to get   \nwhat he wanted. The last thing left behind, their inheritance from their father. The power that   \nis rightfully his, but only one thing bothered him. If he did managed to get his power, would he   \nhave to share it with him.   \n  \n\"Hmph...I'll kill him if he wants this power. I must have that which belongs to me.\", is all   \nthat he thought. Before he knew it, he noticed how he had arrived into a room. This large room   \nhad what seemed to be writing on the walls, two torches which lit up the room and what appeared   \nto be a door in the wall. This door had dragonic writing on it, but the door its self was about   \n10 feet high.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Welcome..to N.D.'s grave. We have brought you here for a reason Aisarue. If you want that which   \nyou so desire, you have to me a little favor...\", said the cloaked figure, before removing his   \ncloak.  \n  \nAisarue grinned, thinking about the proposition that has landed right into his lap, \"A favor?   \nDepends what kind...brother...and I saw him when we entered. Tell him to come out before I do it   \nmyself.\", he said, cracking his neck and knuckles.  \n  \nLaughter started to fill the air, getting closer until it reached the tomb they were in. From   \nthe shadows jumped into yet another familiar face, \"Haha! You have good eyes Eurasia...uhh...I   \nmean Aisarue.\"  \n  \nOmega jumped in with a big smile on his face, the kind of smile which would creep out many   \nothers. He walked over to the door, giggling like a child, \"Hee-hee...so everything is set now   \nhuh Abyssion? We have the three powers needed to awaken the dark lord himself. All for the price   \nof giving your little brother what your old man left behind. Did you tell him anything about it   \nyet?\", he asked, putting a hand on the door and rubbing his hand up and down.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Abyssion coughed, glaring at Omega for speaking just a bit too much, \"Well...not yet. Not until   \nthe one who will cover every dimension in darkness will I not reveal it.\"  \n  \nAisarue was a bit puzzled, thinking about what they meant but the dark lord. But it did not   \nmatter to him. If he was able to gain pure power, nothing else would stand in his way. He   \nremained silent, analyzing the cave closely until he spotted three indents in the ground around   \nthe door. In each indent had a different symbol; Hatred, Malice and Chaos. \"Hmm...three indents   \ninto ground. All in front of one door that holds back the supposed lord of darkness. I'm guessing   \nthat the help you need requires my power?\"  \n  \nAisarue then stood over the indent that had the symbol for, \"hatred\", and awaited for an answer.   \nAbyssion laughed, making his way over to the indent with the symbol for, \"malice\", and standing   \non it.  \n  \n\"You catch on quick Aisarue, as expected. We needed a power of pure hatred, and you fit the bill   \nnicely. We already had malice and chaos, but without hatred, our cause would be in vain. I   \nmyself am malice. You can already guess who is chaos from Eurasia's encounter with him.\", said   \nAbyssion, powering up the power of his DS dragoon spirit.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Moving with incredible swiftness, Omega hopped over to his spot on the indent with the symbol   \nfor, \"chaos\", and powered up as well. The tomb shook under the intense stress of the power   \ncovering the area, shaking the foundation slowly and starting apart.  \n  \nThe cold emptiness around Aisarue made him giddy in a way, powering up as well, \"I guess this   \nwill be one hell of a ride! We have the keys to unlocking the end the existence and we are going   \nto ride it right into history!\"  \n  \nThe dark auras around them started to combine together, before starting to cover the door. The   \nthree started to grunt a bit, the energy being taken from them a bit more than expected before   \nthey started to groan in pain. Their dragoon spirits started to fade, their powers almost   \nexhausted before the entire tomb exploded in a blast of pure dark energy.  \n  \n-  \n  \n\"OH MAN! HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?! Grr...Falcon...you'll pay for this...\", said Zero, going through   \nthe ruins of Testing Lab #1. Just only minutes ago, the place erupted in a fiery explosion.   \nFalcon managed to escape somehow, but that was of little concern. Many dragoons were fearing the   \nsafety of the Chief Engineer.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Everything was completely totaled, with rubble all around. Zero used his wind to blow away the   \nflames and rubble, but Abu was no where to be found. Along side Zero was DarkStar, also helping   \nwith the search, \"Hmm...the magnitude of the explosion and the fact that Abu has no real power.   \nChances are that hes dead.\", he said with no real feeling.   \n  \nZero ignored his words, still hoping that he would be alive. They've been friends for almost   \ntheir whole lives, and he couldn't lose such a valuable comrade. DarkStar didn't show it, but he   \ntoo was worried about Abu. It took almost twenty minutes, but they managed to get the rubble out   \nof the way. Unfortunately, Abu was no where to be found.   \n  \n\"Damn...no body either...nor his dragoon spirit. That can only mean two things. Either he   \nmanaged to escape, or hes gone completely...\", said Zero, sounding very disappointed while   \ngetting out his P.I.C..  \n  \nBefore he could report it, there was a bright flash which blinded the room. Zero and Darkstar   \ncovered their eyes, as they heard a thud on the ground. Before long, the light started to fade,   \nbut their eyes were still blinded.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Ahhh!...what is that light?!...\", cried out Zero, his eyes aching in pain.   \n  \nDarkStar squinted his eyes, barely able to see anything. However, he managed to make out   \nsomething though the blindness, \"Damn...what is that...looks like a body. Wait...Abu?!\"  \n  \nFinally, their eyes were finally able to see, but only catch sight pf the battered body of their   \nfriend. Abu was on the ground, twitching slightly while his lab coat was charred. Zero stood   \nthere, confused as to what happened. As he made a step, he got smacked from behind, \"Get a grip   \nZero, can't you see that hes injured? Call for the medics now!\", shouted DarkStar at Zero.  \n  \nZero nodded, holding his head as he ran out of the room. DarkStar walked over to Abu's body and   \nkneeled by him. He placed his hand on his throat, before giving a sigh of relief, \"Phew...still   \nalive. But the question is how did he get here? I don't under--huh? What is that?\", he wondered,   \nspotting something in his hand. It was a piece of paper with writing on it.  \n  \nDarkStar took the paper and opened it, \"Hmm...scribbled down some notes I see. This   \nsays...\"Falcon...how could you! You let yourself be captured. I cannot believe everything was   \ngoing according to your plan. Although you may have gotten what you wanted, I have also gained   \nsomething important as well. I may not live to see my results, but all of the data was safely   \ncopied to D.O.O.P.'s main hard drive before he destroyed everything. In there may lie the root to   \nsaving Eurasia from the dark hold against him. If not, then I will have failed and we will have   \nno choice but to mark Eurasia as a dangerous threat. If anyone reads this, hurry to my findings   \nand put it to good use.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;DarkStar smirked, putting the note away as he saw the medics arrive, \"Heh. You actually did find   \nsomething. You did your part, now let us do ours. But what did mean by Falcon getting what he   \nwanted...too many missing pieces to this puzzle.\", he thought, making his way out as Abu was   \ntaken away to the med lab.  \n  \n-  \n  \n\"Ok, are you two ready?\", asked Rizan, pressing buttons on her new P.I.C.. The two girls nodded   \nin unison, ready to put their plan into action. She pressed the last button since everything was   \nfinally ready. A few beeps from the P.I.C. were heard until the three vanished in a bright   \nflash.   \n  \nIn the blink of an eye, the three had reappeared in front of Shyranrya's cave. Hamelis shook her   \nhead, a bit dizzy from the quick journey. However, Shyranrya fell out of surprise, \"Ahhh!..wow.   \nThat was so quick....so this is how Eurasia travels around.\"  \n  \nShe took a deep breath, enjoying the familiar smell of her homeland. Rizan looked around,   \nunaffected by the travel and trying to see the new land around her, \"That was quick...very   \nquick.\", she thought, sniffing around. In an instant, she smiled greatly once she caught of a   \nwhiff of something, \"Oh my gosh! I can smell other dragons around here! There are so many   \nscents, its suffocating me! I didn't think I'd ever smell so many dragons in one place!\", said,   \nsquealing with glee.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;The two looked at her with confused, but remembered that she was alone in her dimension. They   \nhowever were used to so many of their own kind, but they couldn't feel how she felt. Hamelis   \nnuzzled Rizan, \"Heh, don't get too excited honey. We can do sightseeing if we manage to do what   \nwe talked about.\"  \n  \nShyranrya poked the two, before running towards her cave, \"Follow me! I'll show you where I put   \nit.\", she said, her tail rocking back and forth. Rizan and Hamelis chased after her, the ground   \nthundering under Hamelis's monstrous steps.   \n  \nBefore Hamelis reached the entrance, she yelled in frustration. Fire was bellowing from her   \nmouth and a bit from her nostrils, \"Ack! Damn it! I can't fit into this cave either! Why do I   \nhave to be so big...\", she complained. The cave's entrance started ok, but it lowered down to   \nabout 12 feet high, which was too low for her to travel in.   \n  \nShyranrya and Rizan patted her on the side, before Rizan looked at her in the eyes, \"Don't get   \ntoo mad. We'll hurry up and find it, then we'll come back right outside. Hopefully using all of   \nour intellects, we'll find the way to open the box shes been talking about.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;With that, her anger subsided and she stood outside, \"Ok, I'll stand watch ok? If anything   \nhappens, I'll let you two know ok? It's the least I can do.\"  \n  \nShyranrya laughed, something she hadn't done in a long time, \"Haha, you two. We'll be quick   \nHamelis. Just got to search through a lot of stuff to find that box. Then we'll work together.\",   \nshe said, pulling Rizan in with her.   \n  \nThe two dragonesses went in, Rizan looking around while Shyranrya rummaged through her cave. All   \nof her cave was in shambles. From her table and chairs broken, her kitchen torn apart, to her   \nown bedroom ripped to shreds. The dragoons were very rough with her before, since she fought   \nback against them. Rizan felt uncomfortable around the devastation, but stayed close behind   \nShyranrya.   \n  \nShe lead her to her now destroyed bedroom, all of her belongings scattered and her bed cut down   \nthe middle. Rizan felt very small in the room, helping her looking for her box.  \n  \n\"Ok, that box should've been...under my bed. That is where I kept it since its where I keep   \neverything I was expecting to never see again.\", she explained, looking under one half of the   \nbed. Rizan nodded and lifted under the other half, her red eyes spotting something shiny.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Hey! Is this it?\", she asked while picking it up. The box was about average size to her, having   \nmany decorations on it. It was gold covered, with blue along with a small amount of writing on   \nthe front where a small indent for a hole was. It was small, and dragonic in origin from first   \nglance, but the writing its self seemed like a riddle.  \n  \nShyranrya dropped her half of the bed and ran on over saw the shiny object. She sighed deeply,   \nhappy to see the box survived the battle in her room. It was unhurt or unscratched, making its   \nstrength noticeable as she put a claw to her chin, \"That's it alright. But the problem is   \nopening it. According to the front of the box, we need something called the, \"Two halves of a   \nmother's love.\", which I do not understand. My thoughts were that it was a hint to what the key   \nwas. However, this hint is very vague on what that is.\"  \n  \nRizan tried to pry open the box herself, to see for herself. Try as she might, she could not   \nopen the box, as it was sealed with a great power. Without the keys, there was no way to open   \nsuch a sturdy box.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\"Phew...well, let's go back outside to Hamelis. We promised her that we would all try to figure   \nthis out together. Can't let her down now can we?\", reminded Rizan.   \n  \nShyranrya understood and started to make her way out of the bedroom, with Rizan holding the box   \nand following her. They were about to run out, but a scream hindered them.   \n  \n\"RIZAN! SHYRANRYA! QUICK, GET OUT OF HERE! E-- ACK!\", shouted Hamelis before being cut off suddenly.   \n  \nFollowed the silence, a thud which was likely her body hitting the ground. However, her voice   \nbeing cut off must have meant that there are intruders.  \n  \nThe two dragonesses listened well, hearing footsteps enter the cave. Rizan held on to the box   \ntighter, before Shyranrya got a rough estimate of how many of them were on their way inside,   \n\"Grrr...there are four of them. One of them is definitely that Aisarue, but...the feeling from   \none of them is making me shiver. The want to kill is so great...the emptiness and the   \nblood lust...\"  \n  \nShyranrya was on her knees, shivering with fear from the feeling she was getting. Rizan stood   \nher ground, the voices getting louder until she was able to listen in, \"...was here. Pretty good   \nthat you figured that out but why here out of all places? The Unison Box wouldn't be in the   \nclaws of a dragoness. Especially one tied to Eurasia so well.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;Moments after, the four dragoons came into view. The two dragonesses growled at them, but the one   \nthat seemed to frightened them was one they had never seen before. He was a man standing at about 6'   \nfoot, 7\" inches. The attire he was in was like nothing they had ever seen as well, only in old books about the days long past. Red and black robes, with letters \"N.D\", in the middle of them. His face seemed like the type of person who had a lot of experience. On his waist he seemed to have a sword, thin like a katana but was glowing with a great power.  \n  \nBehind him were Aisarue, glaring at the two on the ground while Abyssion and Omega just stood   \nthere. Aisarue's attention then stood to the new figure with them, \"The box is in grip of the   \nred dragoness Rizan. Just take it from her and we'll be on our way...Lord N.D.\"  \n  \nN.D. did not respond with words, but rather with the movements of his hands. His fingers were   \npointing towards Rizan, as she blinked and started to hold the box as tight as she could. Before   \nanything could happen, Shyranrya stood in front of her, \"If you want the box, you have to go   \nthrough me!\", she shouted, fire starting to form at her mouth.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;The four blinked, before she fired a massive wave of fired that engulfed the four. She knew in   \nher mind that her fire couldn't do a thing, but she was buying time. Shyranrya gave the signal   \nfor her to escape using the P.I.C., as she started it up.   \n  \nBefore she could leave, the fire was dispelled and Shyranrya was lifted into the air, \"What the?! What is happening to me?!\", she shouted, caught off guard and holding her skirt down to avoid any unnecessary exposure. She looked around, shocked on how she was flying in midair, going higher in the cave until she was stuck to the ceiling. Try as she did, she was stuck there with no way to get loose.  \n  \nRizan was trying to move her body, but she was frozen in place. She could only talk, but that   \nwouldn't get her far in this situation. She started hearing footsteps but could not see who it   \nwas since she could not turn her head. Only something cold on her shoulder that made her squeal   \nbefore the box was stripped from her arms.   \n  \nImmidately following the box being stolen, she collapsed to the ground and turned with a growl,   \n\"Grrr...give me that box back!\", she shouted, lunging at N.D. who had taken it away from her.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;His eyes were non hesitant as they stopped Rizan in midair, like how he lifted Shyranrya before.   \nShe was unable to move again, his eyes meeting her own while the box he took floated by him,   \n\"Little dragoness...stop this foolishness. Nothing you can do to save Eurasia. This plan was a   \nfailure from the start and this box does not do that which you expect. Just give it up and move   \non with your pathetic life.\"  \n  \nRizan snarled at him, spitting into his face, \"Thats that I think of what you say! Don't mock   \nwhat a dragon can do!\"  \n  \nN.D. laughed, wiping the saliva off as he drew his sword. The hilt seemed normal, but the blade   \nwas not like that of a normal weapon. It was pure energy, emitting an eerie yellow glow and   \nbegan to shake the cave under its enormous power. The moment N.D. let out his weapon, Rizan's   \nrock hard determination was shattered and replaced by fear.   \n  \n\"No!...Th-th-that weapon...where did you get that?! The weapon made for the destruction of   \ndragons...I thought \"he\" got rid of such a dangerous weapon...\", she managed to sputter out. It   \nseemed that she had knowledge of what N.D. had in his hand, as he drew it closer to her body.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;He held it back with great grip, his smile turning into a very angry glare, \"Little girl, such a   \nweapon cannot be destroyed. This is a momento from an old comrade...\"  \n  \nShe screamed out of fear while Shyranrya could only stare with tears coming out of her eyes.   \nImmidately, there was a scream, then a silence in the cave.  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"Book 1: Eurasia's Awakening, Organization of Dragoons","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/9421-chapter-8-the-final-piece-n-d-s-plan-part-1.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/10263-chapter-9-the-coming-threat-n-d-s-arrival.json"}}
