It was about three hours later with me back in the everfree, at what the Magi, as I learned they were called,referred to as the old castle of the two sisters. I sighed as I looked up before I finally decided to relax, and thus let all of the events of the last few hours finally take root.

...It was not pretty, luckily Roxy was waiting back in the town for Azzy to return from his date. “GOD FUCKING DAMN IT!” I punched a wall hard enough with my gauntlet covered fist to leave a sizeable crater. I gripped my head as I curled into the fetal position. “All of it… it’s gone… no more working at the hospital… no more healing people...I lost it, everything...and why? Because I made a deal with some guy for custom cosplay stuff?!” I pounded the wall again before something landed in front of me.

It looked like some sort of sword with a leather wrapped handle, I noticed symbols within the emblem that was ingrained in the sword’s cross-guards. It kind of reminded me of those old swords that Knights used, although why does this have a sun and moon insignia? I reached out to the sword so I could inspect it further, wondering where the hell it came from.

Suddenly, a deep voice spoke from out of the sword. "This is merely a recording, tis a wonder how this power even works but tis not the craziest thus far. Would ye be man, pony, beast, nor any matter of creature. I pray tis within good terms. Speak the old code and we shall see if ye are a good being, break the code and the summon shall be undone.” it said.

"I, then speak thy name, choose the Old Code as my own. I am hereby sworn to valour, to speak only the truth, to use arms to defend the helpless, to use might to uphold the weak. My heart knows only virtue. My wrath will undo the wicked."

“Huh… weird, answering machine sword…” I shrugged and spoke aloud the code, feeling my own power surge into my words as I said them, the words now feeling as if they were unlocking a door of some sort. A rush of fire started to bloom from the sword, shooting into the sky and creating a swirling inferno, suddenly something big, scalie, and draconic dropped from above and landed in front of me, causing me to fall over due to its weight. Despite the blazing portal, I noticed that nothing was being burnt… fortunate, as the last thing I needed was smokers lung.

I looked to the dragon, as I quickly realized that it was, indeed, a dragon. “So… I can summon dragons now? Huh… weird. Thought I’d have to at least dominate one before that could happen… wait… did I just brand a passing dragon?” I looked up to the dragon in question, looking him over for any mark of domination, or a blue glow to his eyes. “Huh… no glow, no mark… guess he is free? That’s good...ish...maybe bad. Should ask if he is a man eater.”

I cleared my throat “Umm… Hi?”

“Ye don’t see many talking dragons, eh?” The dragon asked with an amused chuckle. His scales were the color of bronze with his face being a darker colorization, he had multiple horns growing on the back of his head, mostly pointing backwards, I count each one, ending with a total of eight, four on each side of the head. The dragon's’ eyes were a bright orange, last I noticed were the spikes growing along his spine and down along his tail, its tip looking like a spear, but no blades or sharp edges? “Maybe it’s dull?”

I nodded cautiously “The only books I could find on you were written by Magi, who were very detailed in how you were not a people to be trifled with. Although, with how they treat Ologs, I doubt the tales were anywhere near accurate.” I chuckled “Xenophobic fools. Fear and hate anything not a pony.”

“So, mine kind is looked at with ill thoughts in this world.” The dragon said, yet he didn’t seem phased.

I shrugged “They have stereotypes for anything not a pony. I’m actually thinking, maybe I should leave equestria. These Magi… they make me really angry. Xenophobia is not ok, and I can sense something in this forest, something dark. Az-Barko, my Olog friend, he says he feels it too… something is binding his people into servitude, even after death… I was going to go and help handle the issue… after I calmed down.”

The dragon rose his head to look around. “Then it would be best they not see me, even if I don’t look like thy dragons. So, what matter of creature are ye and what would ye name be?” he asked.

I thought a moment “I’m Simon, and I’d say I am a SIVA infused Wraith. I mean, I feel like I’m still me, still human, even, but… I have these odd powers now…” I held my hand out so that my palm faced upwards, the energy forming in my hand a mix of Wraith fire and small cores of SIVA, orbiting around and through the flames.

“Then… ye are like me then, a Displaced..” The dragon said with relief in his voice

“Probably relieved that he has finally met another who was once human. Don’t know how I’d handle all of this without Roxy.” I smiled before I walked over to the Dragon and patted his...foot. Hey! Guy is huge! “You know, you got me as a friend, if you ever need to vent. I… have felt the panic of this change, quite recently, in fact.”

“Tis no need, I am just glad to meet another, I had mine doubts despite what that cloaked man said when told me about everything such as the Displaced, the multiverse, the void. Tis hard to believe that such a thing exists beyond the realm of earth.” The dragon said as he shook his head of his thoughts. “Forgive me, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Ladon.”

I grinned as I chuckled. “Welp, I’d bet that I’m going to be meeting the guy in charge soon, I asked Az-Barko and Al-Maru to investigate the forest, find his lair and such, then tell me where.” I looked to my rings and smirked “Let’s see how I do in a scrap, huh? Will be my first time doing harm.”

Just then, Az-Barko and Al-Maru came into the castle, onl to see me chatting with Ladon. Azzy looked up to Ladon and stood protectively in front of Maru. “[ By the hammer of Or-Assik, you shall not harm those dear to me again, dragon!]”

I stepped in between them “Hey, Hey! Ladon is not like the feral dragons of the badlands! He won’t eat anyone, ok? He is a good soul, I can tell!”

Maru looked to Azzy and smiled as she gently caressed his back, affection in her eyes. “[I am honored that you would fight a dragon to protect me, though, my love.]”

Ladon raised an eyeridge, he looks like he has never seen those creatures before.”Friends of thee?” he asked.

I nodded “Very close friends, these are two of the best Ologs you could hope to meet. Az-Barko here just… well, he lost someone to a feral dragon attack, it kinda haunts him.”

Az-Barko sighed as he slouched, of which I quickly knew he felt he should apologize. “Az-barko apologize for assuming, know prejudice not fun.”

Al-Maru smiled as her fluffy dimples showed “Thank you, my love, you are sweet.” as she kissed his cheek, I could hear him mumbling out a thanks in Black speech before blushing fiercely.

“Tis quite alright, Az-Barko. Tis valiant to protect the ones ye love, but ye best pick thy fights wisely, I don’t think ye would survive in a fight against mine power.” Ladon said with a small warning.

Az-Barko looked to Al-Maru before he nodded slowly, “Not care, if was going to hurt Al-Maru, would rather die so she and master can run.”

I looked to Azzy and frowned as I walked over to him “You know that I am your friend right?”

Azzy nodded “You best friend ever had.”

I nod as well “Well, as your friend, I say… KNOCK THAT STUPID SHIT OFF!”

Maru nods “I would rather we all get hurt fleeing, than you get killed ensuring our escape.”

Ladon frowned at that. “However, there are times fleeing may not be an option”

Az-Barko sighs as he looks to me, a certain emptiness in his voice, and eyes “Already lost last beloved to Feral dragons, and clan as well. Not going to lose new family to same, not care if stupid. Happy that not going to happen...cannot take losing all again. Better have sad memory in head, than no head.” He then looked to Ladon “Az-Barko know Olog could never outrun. So would try buy time for master and beloved to get away.”

“Honorable. However, that may change now if we become friends, the tide of battle will tilt in our favor with mineself around.” Ladon said with a smile.

Az-barko grinned and nodded “Az-Barko would be glad to call Ladon Brother in arms!”

“As long as Simon holds that sword, I will answer to his call when I have time, all he need to do, is speak the old code.” Ladon said as he gesture with a claw-hand toward the weapon in my hand.

I frown “Although… until I get the blessing from the rulers of this land, of whom I recognize this symbol belonging to, saw it on some guards armor, I should get this wrapped up in cloth, maybe. I don’t want to give anyone the wrong idea, they seem quick to assume the worst of me.”

“Would this have anything to do with the ‘Xenophobic’ comment ye made earlier?” Ladon asked as he lays down on his belly.

“Good, this will give my neck a rest.” I then looked straight into his eyes. “They are extremely wary of anything that is different, I would not even call it Xenophobic at this point, because they are even scared of me.”

“They’d best rid of their paranoia for I am not the only one who will end up in thee world. There are things known as Tokens such as the sword I obtained from the royal sisters, it is a void duplicate sent across the multi-verse to other Displaced. They cannot force their way in but they can be summoned, each one has a different message and method of doing so.” Ladon explained to everyone.

I nodded slowly “Could you describe how you made this token? I would like the chance to make my own.”

“Certainly, but will ye channel thee energy into an item ye own or will thou try to go beyond that and create it with only your energy?” Ladon asked.

I thought a moment before I had an idea. I grabbed the hammer from my side and began to let the SIVA in my system go to work, making a small scale replica of my unique hammer, the SIVA making A loop of SIVA thread before making a solid hammer, made entirely of Crystallized SIVA. I then focused and channelled my Wraith power into it, turning the crystal from crimson red to a luxurious dark purple, flame dancing within the crystal hammer. “Ok, how do I make it my token?”

“Give it a message, something it will say when another Displaced touches it, ye can also give it other effects but thou will have to channel more energy into it, I’ve made my token send me back the moment my summoner breaks the code, I wouldn’t want friends that plan to stab me in the back.” Ladon said.

I nodded slowly before an idea struck me and I grinned “Let’s make it a smithies hammer too.” I focused, and the hammer gained the ability to become a smith's hammer, similar to Celebrimbor's, but empowered with the Wraith magic and SIVA. Whomever would make something with this hammer would make quite an impressive piece indeed! I then thought on a message, before my voice again left my throat without my consent.

“Thou speaketh to the lord of Dawn, lord and friend to the Olog and Uruk people! If thy wish is power, than thou hast found thy aim! If thou desire is domination of mine allies? Then may the gods have mercy on thy soul! Hold my Hammer aloft and strike it upon stone with intent twice, and thy call shalt be heard!”

Ladon chuckled in amusement. “Nice use of the ye olde english.”

I staggered as I felt my token disappear, feeling extremely drained before I felt a hand steady me, I looked behind me to see Az-Barko and Al-Maru glowing with an odd energy as the power returned to me. “What did you do? I never saw an Olog heal someone before.”

Az-Barko smiled “Learned from lover, she paladin.”

Al-Maru nodded “I can’t do it too much, sadly, but I am skilled enough to rejuvenate someone who has magically exhausted themselves.”

I smiled before I looked to Ladon before pointing towards the forest with my blade “Let’s see how we do against whatever has been binding the Uruks.”

Az-Barko nodded with a grin before holding his fiery mace aloft across mine “Will free brothers, too! No more Olog slaves!”

Al-Maru chuckles as she raises her hammer to cross with Az-Barkos and mine. “Leave any undead to me, Trivac’s light shall cleanse their corruption!”

“Slicing their head off can work too.” Ladon said as he moved his tail to the front of him, the spear-tip suddenly splits revealing a hidden edge akin to that of a switchblade. “Just give their neck a clean slice.”

Al-maru looks to Ladon sadly “While that does indeed work, i’d almost rather you burn them, then, at least, their souls will find release. If their body is ruined while still bound, then they will simply become a magical energy boost for the lich that bound them, not only making the fight harder, but forever damn the souls merged with the Liches own to damnation.”

“Ah, flames it is then, as long as my hearth burns.” Ladon said as the blades sinked back into his tail.

I nodded as we made our way out of the castle, only for me to sense a portal open up behind me, and Twilight come out of it “Wait! You have to stay in the castle until Celestia comes here!”

I turned to her and frowned “You would have me stay here as my people are bound beyond death? I may not be acknowledged yet, but I WILL be the king these people need, acceptance of your people or not.” Right as I said this, I realized that I meant it, I knew these poor souls needed a home, a place to be safe, to live normal lives, free of the hatred of these magi.

Al-Maru froze as a strange, tall woman in white clothing materialized behind Twilight, her looking less than pleased. “You would disobey a direct order from your princess?”

I frowned. So this was Celestia? huh... expected more. “Huh. You sure about that? I don’t remember signing any papers that made me one of your people, nor was I born into this nation. As far as I could be concerned, you are enforcing your rules on someone who you have no power over.” I then gestured to Al-Maru and Az-Barko “And anyone who treats those who should be considered equals as less than is despicable. Speaking of which many of your people have done so, and you have done nothing to stop it. Due to this fact, I think I will be making a little… detour… into the badlands, maybe make a deal with the dragon lord, get some land and ore from him. I have read about the many mines and such of the his that lay untapped, as they only care for gems, I am sure I could convince him of the value of an alliance, especially once he know that the magus people have been STEALING dragon eggs. Yes, I do know about Spike, I asked around about him, and did some digging.”

“Ye best listen to his wishes, Princess Celestia, lest ye feel the wrath of a warrior’s heart. Tis not a threat, but merely a warning.” Ladon said in kind to back up my words, he spoke in that low
voice of his.

Celestia seemed to pale as I spoke, her normally tan face losing almost all color. “Y-you… how did you learn all of this?!”

I smiled as I recalled exactly how I got that information.

flashback, two hours ago

I was walking back towards the Everfree forest as I heard what sounded like a distressed child's voice. “P-please, mister! S-stop! It hurts!” I quickly walked toward the child's voice as I heard a grown man laughing.

“Well, it is what you get for getting in my way, you Uruk filth!” I looked to the man in question from the shadows, seeing that he was beating an Uruk child, a doll that presumably belonged to the child being used to beat her. I leapt down behind him, flooring him quickly and restraining him as I handed the child a bag of coins from the nobles belt and her doll before waving her away.

I then slammed my palms onto his face as I shouted with rage “Thy secrets are mine!” As I pored through the memories of all that he had been doing behind the scenes, I grew sick at seeing this living skid-mark, and sighed as I reluctantly sheath my sword. I then headbutt him and leave him by a dumpster for someone to find before I walk over to the Everfree, a valuable haul of knowledge about the magi societies dark underbelly now stored in my mind.

back to normal time

“Oh, a noble ambassador was visiting, I slipped up behind him and stopped him from beating and possibly killing an innocent child. He was very... stubborn, before I used my magic. Oh, and did anyone here know that the Harpies have been suffering from raids by ‘rebel’ Magi, who have stolen all their supplies for years. Heck, apparently there are harpies that are starving to death in the streets.”

I smiled at the tan bitch before I looked to twilight “Oh, and the plans this woman has for you, mind boggling! But i’ll leave that to her explanation. Now How about we-” Celestia’s magical aura flared to life before I turned to her, stopping her fist cold in my palm as my SIVA wraithfire aura dwarfed hers. My body was enveloped in the purple auras light as I spoke “YOU! SHALL! NOT! TOUCH ME!”

She tried to back hand me before I threw her into a wall hard enough to topple it “I shall warn thee once, I will NOT allow thy blood tainted hands to strike me, attempt this again, and I shall wage a war the likes of which Sombras rebellion will seem like a love tap!” I grinned as she stammered “Yes, I do know of Sombra, of how he fought to keep your kingdom from overtaking his! Of how, in desperation, he made a pact with dark gods to keep your armies at bay! And of how you wiped your fault entirely from the records of his fall!”

Ladon looked between the furious Princess and me, the dragon was silent for a moment. “Let's proceed to our destination without further conflict. As for you, Princess and please forgive me of my words, but it would be best not to continue this before it becomes bloodshed, ye have a kingdom to protect and I’d hate to see it fall into shambles due to your actions.” He said.

Al-Maru was the first to leave, her removing the patches of Celestia’s army from her armor, before spitting in her direction “To think, I once idolized her.”

Az-Barko grunted “[I knew she was cruel when pushed too far, but this level of evil and depravity? I am quite surprised, and ashamed to say I thought of joining her army.]” He walked after Al-Maru.

I waited for Ladon, not wanting to leave him with this evil woman, not trusting her to not take things further.

The dragon turned half away, but hesitated, he turns to look at Celestia on the ground and… did something unexpected, he was offering his paw to help her up? I looked to her and frowned, daring her to try me, only she did not get the message as she smacked his hand away “Don’t touch me, you filthy, disgusting creature!” The dragon snorted in reaction at her response.

“I respect ye as the princess, but I suggest thou change thy outlook. Peace cannot be achieved by force.” Ladon said as he turned around, the sound of jingling chains heard coming from around his neck, the dragon quickly grabs hold of it to prevent his sword’s appearance being revealed to her. He kept his back turned. “Peace was created long ago by the three tribes who created the Fire of Friendship.” were his last words to Celestia before he walked over to my side.

As I turned my back to her, I grunted in anger “To think the Magi would believe such garbage about their ruler…”

“Hopefully she’ll heed my words, lest she wants more war on her hands, she’ll end up being Equestria’s downfall at the rate she’s going.” Ladon said with a snort.

I frowned as we got out of sight and earshot “I may have to dethrone her, actually. Grant her powers to one more… suitable for the role.” I thought of Twilight, thinking of her potential as a solar avatar. Luna, apparently, has been trying to help those her sister has wronged, even after her banishment, which was due to her rebelling against her for the same reason.

I grunted as we walked, feeling another's presence nearing us. It was primal, skilled in nature. I could tell it was a druid and a hunter from the get go, I turned towards its source to see an Uruk appear in front of me in a swirl of leaves and magic. When Ladon noticed me turning around, he turned as well, only for his tail to raise and push out its blades.

“I have heard you call out The tyrant of the sun, undead one. You are brave, strong and virtuous, I offer thee mine blade.” The Uruk before me was in a ragged cloak made from leather and covered in vines, as well as various animal bones made into charms, the Ivy threading through them, holding them too him and covered in flowing, glowing white runes. He was armed with a strange combination of staff and spear, the Staff having various knotholes filled with amber containing gemstones, and the top of the staff adorned with four spear heads, forming a large tip on the staffs top, a green flame that seemed to blaze with life energy from between the gaps of the four spear heads.

I nodded slowly “Your name, my friend?”

He smiled, his teeth strong and feral looking, and his eyes a potent green. “I am known as Orvok wooden heart.” I raised my brow at this, gesturing for him to elaborate “My heart was ripped from my chest by a timberwolf when I was but a child, the shaman of my tribe saved my life by putting the heartwood of a tree, carved into a replacement, into my chest and sealing the wound. I have had a tie to the earth from that day. I shall serve thee well in the badlands, making plants grow where none would normally.”

I smiled “Well, we are going to slay a lich first, would you join us in the battle?”

Orvok nodded “Gladly, the thrice damned bastard slew and bound my tribe after all, my battle-staff yearns for his blood!”

“Tell me Simon, who would this lich be?” Ladon asked with curiosity.

I sighed “It was an ancient servant of Discords, before he went mad. When he did, he cursed the poor mage with undeath, for trying to save his family from his wrath, the centuries as an undead has rotted his mind, there is very little of him left now. You should also know, he has claimed a dragon as well, one that long has had it’s bones slumber beneath this forest.”

“That reminds of something..” The dragon started clicking his claws nails together. “Would his name be Arthas Menethil?” Ladon asked.

I shook my head “No, apparently his name was… let’s see if I can even pronounce this… Thoshkir”

“Ah, I was thinking of a different Lich King, it would of been surprising yet amusing to see, there are quite a large number of possibilities and universes when it comes to the Displaced.” Ladon explained.

I nod as I look to Orvok “Tell me, will you be able to negate his hold over plants and animals?”

Orvok snorts with laughter before he smiles “Indeed, my lord. The forests of this world shall not harm thee. Thy truer concerns should be his illusions, and umbramancy, as well as his small legion of undead.”

“Is there anything else he can do?” Ladon asked, I could see it in the dragon’s eyes he wanted to be prepared.

I chuckled darkly “The umbramancy is the real threat, make a hostile copy of you that knows all your tricks? Yeah, not gonna be fun. Let alone the illusions, who knows if he can combine the two, mess up your perceptions of what is real...”

The dragon tapped his chin. “So it can copy me, but can it speak? Anything I can use to overcome this trickery or at least something so ye don’t confuse them for me?” Ladon asked.

I smiled “The shadow will look like an all ink black version of you. Like literally a shadow made into your shape, only difference will be that it will have his magic aura for eyes, luckily he isn’t exactly going to be flush with mana, so he can’t fight and cast illusions at once.”

“Excellent, the fool will be in for a surprise when or if we confront him.” Ladon said with confidence in his voice.

Orvok nodded “The everfree itself shall deny him respite if he flees.” He then whistled and a wolf made of wood materialized next to him, large enough for him to ride.

Az-barko grinned “[My flames shall free my brothers of his fell taint!]”

Al-Maru nodded “And may he light of Trivac purify their remains!”

“My fire shall burn him while my ice will freeze. He won’t be expecting me from the shadows either.” Ladon said with a draconic grin, I could tell he was looking forward to the thrill of battle.

I then sensed the fell taint of corrupted undeath, I grunted as we drew closer, him seeming to be mid chant as hundreds of voices filled my head, I looked to my friends to see that the others heard them, as well. “Hurts… free us… not supposed to be like this… the chains… they cut at us… please… can’t take it! Can’t take it, kill us, kill us, kill us, kill kill, kill you! It will end if we KILL YOU!”

Orvok growled as he readied his battlestaff, as Azzy readied his dragonfire cannon, and Maru began to chant a prayer “My people! I have found help to free you!”

The voices spoke as the litch turned to us. “Orvok… you left us to rot… you abandoned us… your heart may as well be rusted iron...Orvok the cur, Orvok the coward! Orvok the DEAD!”

The remains of the village around us suddenly rose up, the dragon apparently having been among them as it also rose from the earth, our shadows leaping to the massive undead dragon, reinforcing it and making it look like a dread aberration of bones, flesh, and pulsating darkness. “I see you hath brought a dragon. Child, do you not see? There is no hope for you, nor for us, the countless dead of this village shall never know peace, nor shall you… the hunger mu...must be sated… COME! SO WE MAY FEAST LIKE DAYS OF YORE, BACK WHEN WE HAD HOPE, AND FLESH!”

A chuckle came from deep within Ladon’s threat. “Ye of little mind, it's quite obvious you’ve never heard of heaven, thou shalt have it if ye give up thee hold on thy life.” Ladon said as his tail blade flashed out.

The dracolich froze and twitched “Thy speaketh true… want to stop, bound… burn me! Destroy me so that I may know peace! My soul… my bones… they ache… the pain, the hurt never ends… KILL ME! PLEASE!”

“And ye shalt have it!” Ladon said before suddenly exhaling a mighty breath of fire that soon was joined with Orvoks green flames, Azzy’s yellow ones, and Marus holy light, I quickly added my SIVA enhanced wraith flames, them washing over the army, leaving nought but the litch and charred corpses, the souls rising skyward in a deluge of smoke, their voices speaking as one “Thank you, may you win against the poor wretch that bound us, he struggles still, fighting to regain himself… free the poor soul from his eons of torture…”

“May ye find peace among the stars.” Ladon said as he looked toward the sky.

The litch roared in a feral manner as the remaining bones, shattered and sharp as they were, quickly launched at us as I heard a small, faint voice, quickly overshadowed by a much louder one “I want… to rest… please... help me... AHAHAH! THE PUPPETS HAVE BROKEN! TIME TO FIND SOME MORE! LOOKS LIKE I HAVE SOME TOUGH CANDIDATES, SO LET’S PLAY!”

Reacting to the flying bones, Ladon breathed out his flames again in an attempt to burn the flying bone remains. As he did so, the shadows all leapt from the bones and left them to become ash, the shadows wrapping around Ladons mouth, holding it shut like a muzzle while I could see a second shadow enter and fill his mouth. “ Please, end me… end my suffering… so cold... What marvelous toys you shall all make!” Ladon reached up with his paws and attempted to pull the shadows off of his muzzle, he growled deeply and threateningly as he struggled, pulling with all his draconic might. The Litch chuckled “ No… stop... you will only hurt yourself! AHAHA! DO IT! RIP YOUR PATHETIC MUZZLE CLEAN OFF! IT WILL BE SO DELICIOUSLY AMUSING!”

Ladon growled in annoyance, he reaches up and plugs up one of his nostrils, with a quick breath he shoots fire out of his nose at the shadows, quickly dispelling them. The dragon coughed and spat out the bad taste in his mouth. “Tasted like rotten carrion!” he commented.

The Litch shouted in anger, throwing a childish tantrum. “That was… odd… but please, keep fighting!WHAT KIND OF DRAGON DOES THAT RIDICULOUS TRICK?!” He then stamped his foot in anger before he started to chant.

I felt the forest around me wither and die, it was as if he was draining everything around him of life, I then saw that he was feeding the lifeforce around him into a massive spell, a giant ball of shadows forming frigid, dark flames and hardened bone ash forming a massive meteorite like boulder!

Orvok grunted, falling to one knee in a forced kneel before he launched a petrified branch into the litchs kneecap, wedging it between the bones of his legs, the litch ignoring it as he kept chanting, Azzy and Maru collapsing as they began to feel the drain of the spell in full “Hit the branch, cripple him! We have to stop the spell!”

I grunted, the flame forming a barrier around him as well. “I can’t get close enough!” I then had an ide that was so insane, it might work! Or it would get me killed. Meh. “Ladon, a little lift, eh?”

“With pleasure!” Ladon said as he quickly picked me up with his right hand-paw, making me realized how big it was since it covered a corner of his body. Pulling his arm back, he chucked me skyward.

I grunt, focusing my strength my hammer as I flip in mid air, landing feet first on his tail as ladon finishes a spin, adding momentum to a flick of his tail before I leap from his tail like a springboard, flying with ease through the flames, unharmed and at high speed before I rammed the head of my hammer, now alight with my SIVA wraithfire, right into the branch, breaking his kneecap and forcing him to kneel, interrupting his chanting and his focus, saving my allies before slamming my palms on either side of his head before I headbut him “Thou bonds shall be spurned, thy yoke to chaos lifted, may thy pain be returned, to the one who madness shifted!”

As my power freed the litch, I heard the voice speak to me in a faint whisper “ Thank you… may the elders see your kingdom flourish... great and mighty Lord of Dawn... Thank you… Thank you...”

“I’m going to need to wash mine mouth out when we get to a water source.” Ladon commented as he started breathing a gentle flame to see if he could burn the taste away.

Orvok walked up to me as Azzy and Maru healed each other “Ye have done me a kindness long refused to mine people. I shall forever be in thine debt-”

I laughed “No, you are a friend, Orvok. I have fought alongside you, and seen your valor. I want you to stand with me as an equal. We have two Ologs, Two Displaced, now we have an Uruk, do you know of anyone else who would join us that is worthy to lead?”

I smiled as he put together the dots. “You mean… you do not want to rule alone?”

I shook my head “No, I wish for there to be a council, two representatives for each race in our land.” I grinned “I already have two dragons in mind.”
