Chapter 374 Inspecting
Solast flew close to the storm of dark, from up close, it appeared much less rapid and tumultuous, like a fog slowly approaching, but the senses of a dragon were not easily deceived, there was an incongruity, the storm was deeper within, and yet, from a great distance, it was more easily perceived than the veil of calm fog.
The sun dragon had brought along some of his brethren, for the moment, they passively watched it, expecting the usual hail of projectiles coming from an unknown location, inside this dense smoke, things were not as they should be, having managed to convinced dragon with influence over primordial aspects of this world to come along on some of his many ventures, Solast had come to learn that time and space were distorted within, or rather, forced into complete silence, that was the word used, concepts were muffled and even though they could go in and out without suffering from problems.
This fog sought to take them apart, decaying all, but of course, regal beings such as themselves could shake off the effects of this unnatural environment, today, it seemed like their approach had gone unnoticed, the vehemently aggressive beings within had yet to unleash their wrath upon the invaders.
And as such, Solast and the other majestic dragons with him, moved into the miasma, instantly, it was though they had stepped into another world entirely, all was dark and silent, their rule was absolute, and even the sounds made by the dragons seemed lesser, as though suppressed, Solast himself always felt it especially, as a sun dragon, he was struck heavily by the darkness, his powers made harder to sense and unleash, and indeed, across the reach of dark's domain, lesser suns could be seen floating around, all were either turned completely dark, casting darkness instead of light, or heavily dimmed, barely any brighter than moonlight.
And indeed, the sky itself was completely different, all stars and such were entirely different, leaving place to a central sun of dark, four corrupted moons, two horrific constellations and a blinding star, many other bright dots populating alongside them.
No matter how many times Solast went inside the encroaching fog, he was taken aback, not only was it clearly much larger than it might seem on the outside, but at first, the three-headed dragon had thought that it was all a plague, a corruption of something was than darkness, this had been his first thought, before he peeked inside, what he had seen, were entire ecosystem, and thriving creatures, the denizens of Dragonnerie, at least those with wings, were used to moving great distances, overlook other continents, the oceans, the smaller mass of lands, it was considered a honour to discover draconic brethren, and so, many went on lengthy strolls.@@@@
Solast himself had passed by Viridis many times, now, it was completely different, he did not get close, but using his powers over sunlight, he gazed from afar, the continent had gone through a complete transformation, becoming one gigantic fortress, surrounded by defensive formations, floating islands even.
"It would seem that we have overstayed our welcome" not agitated, the three dragons flew away before the guardian could reach them, leaving the dominion and heading back home.
"The black storm will clash with the people of Belliste first" remarked Temposi, indeed, this continent was the closest to Viridis, as for Dragonnerie, it could simply move further away as per the whims of the dragonlord, although, if the danger of the dark was proven, Ronarkatast would definitely not want to run away.
Solast remained silent for a moment, then deciding to lower his altitude, heading for the warmongering continent, making a decision in the spur of the moment.
"Dragonlord Ronarkatast wants dragonkind to thrive, Belliste with its bloodshed and constant warfare is an especially good breeding ground for our brethren, the lord would deplore its loss" he justified himself before anyone even questioned him.
Indeed, draconic species were renowned for their strength, and Belliste provided an environment that was dangerous to all, the warkings did not hesitate to hunt down great creatures, or to capture them to further their goals, the dragons that resided upon the Eastern Peaks were thus especially ferocious and became more so with every generation.
Ronarkatast himself had once mated with a dragon from there for the respect that lesser draconic beings could progress so quickly, so even if he seemed nonchalant, the loss of Belliste would invoke his ire.
As such, Solast would extend a hand upon the savage people of these lands, and warn them much in advance of just what kind of catastrophe was approaching.
