“One hundred and fifty thousand years ago, in the Dragon Kingdom, inside a massive mountain, eight dragons sat on thrones, and in front of them stood an elderly dragon wrapped up in chains.
“So, any last wish before you die, Father?” One of the dragons, seated on the middle throne, asked with a smile.
He was pitch black, with golden glowing eyes, two very long wings, and two black horns.
“Why would you betray your own father, Son?” The old man asked with a sad expression.
“Huh…? Why would I betray you? Well, can’t you see it yourself? I betrayed you for this throne, Father.
I betrayed you for this Throne and this power. My friends here helped me with it, and now we can make the dragon race one of the strongest races out there on this holy land.
I told you the same thing, Father, but you slapped me and told me it’s evil and that God will punish me.
Where is your god now? Let me tell you something, Father; there isn’t a god up there. But, don’t you worry… I will become the new and real God of this world.
A god who will exist and lead the world to its glorious future. But, for that to happen, you have to die.” The black Dragon replied.
“A god huh…?” The old dragon spoke as he looked at the ground with a disappointed expression.
“Did you say something, Father?” The black dragon asked with a smile.
“Hahahaha….” Suddenly, the old man started laughing loudly.
“W-Why is he laughing?” One of the dragons asked with a worried expression.
“I think he finally lost it…” Another one spoke.
“Why are you laughing, Father?” The black dragon asked with a confused expression.
“Gregory, My Son. You want to become a god, huh? I would’ve given you the throne… If you would’ve asked for it, I would’ve made the world bow to you. But you crossed your limits at that very moment when you thought of yourself as a God. You can be strong, you can be powerful… But you can’t be a god.” The old man said as dark clouds covered the whole sky and lightning started thundering.
“W-What is happening?”
“I-I don’t know…”
“H-Hey… Greg, Should we leave?” A dragon friend of Gregory’s asked with a scared expression as he witnessed the loud thundering clouds outside the cave.
“Shut up and sit down, you coward…” Gregory spoke as he stood up from his throne and started walking towards his father.
Swish
Gregory summoned a Black shadow sword and placed it over his father’s throat.
“Goodbye, Father…” Gregory spoke as he pulled the sword backward and swung it with full power.
Tang
As soon as the sword touched the old man’s neck, it broke.
“What?”
“Hehehehehe… Hello, Gregory the great.” The old man spoke as he looked at Gregory with a wide smile on his face; his eyes were shining dark red, and his body started glowing dark blue.
Tannnnng
Suddenly, all the chains over the old man’s body broke, and he started floating in the air without flapping his wings.
“A Demon?” Gregory asked with a confused expression.
“Not any demon; I am Madak… The Demon King.” Madak spoke as he looked at Gregory with a smile.
“D-Demon king…?” One of the dragons, sitting on the throne asked.
“W-We should run.” Another dragon added.
“Stupid, we are dragons. We are stronger than demons. Sit down or Gregory will kill you…” Gregory’s best friend Dren spoke as he looked at both of them with a disgusted expression.
“My father won’t let a demon like you take his body… How did you do it?” Gregory asked with a confused expression.
“First of all… Your father’s soul was very tasty. I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed devouring it.” Madak replied with a smile.
“State your purpose or you know what is going to happen to your soul, right?” Gregory spoke as his throat started glowing from the sacred flame.
“No, No, No… Don’t use sacred flames. I am here because your father made a deal with me.” Madak replied.
“You are lying; Father will never make deals with a demon like you… Get ready to get your soul burned.” Gregory spoke as he continued with the spell.
“Wait, Wait… He said something like ‘You have to take the help of darkness if you want to show the real path of divinity.’ ” Madak spoke.
As soon as Gregory heard this, he paused the sacred flame skill and looked at Madak with a straight face.
“Continue…” Gregory spoke.
“Well, your father traded his soul for a prophecy. A prophecy that I stole from the Fate Book of Angels. He wanted me to tell you this prophecy…” Madak spoke.
“A prophecy? What does it say?” Gregory asked.
“Gregory Son Of Kile, about some hundred years from today…. You will have a kid with a beautiful dragon girl from the west. You will declare him as the sole heir of your Kingdom. As soon as you do that… All of your friends who are sitting behind you right now will Turn back on you, but they will fail and you will kill all of them successfully, securing the full control of this kingdom. Your son will mature after some time and on this certain day of a random year… Your son will do the same thing with you that you did to your father today. Not only this… Your son will try to conquer the world and fail miserably. The cause of his failure will be an individual from a very inferior race called ‘Human’, This individual will destroy your son’s Throne first and kill him exactly 10 days later on this same day. Prophecy ends… Deal has been completed.” Madak spoke as he left Kile’s body.
Gregory turned around and looked at his seven friends with a smile and spoke, “What a load of crap was that?”
“Yeah, I don’t understand that as well…”
“I mean, What’s a ‘Human’? He said shit that doesn’t even exist.”
“I mean, you don’t have to kill your father anymore… Hahaha.”
“Hahahaha….”
“Hahhahaha….”
…
Everyone started laughing, but they didn’t know that the prophecy was true.
