157 Clash Of Times.

Valerian stood in front of a river stream, looking at the water flowing seamlessly. He could not see where the river originated from or where it ended. Fortuna was already placed under the water, he did not know what she was going through at the moment, however, she had told him not to touch the water before she comes out.

He could only patiently wait, so the boy sat down on the bank of the river. He tried to look away from the water, but he could not take his eyes off it. The river seemed to be a mirror, reflecting everything on the outside perfectly. He looked at the reflection trying to figure out how the water was not transparent.

Just when he was thinking about it, he found that the scene around him has changed. Valerian was standing in a barren patch of land, he was surprised and wondering how he traveled here. There was no trace of the dark cavern or the pillars or the riven of times. Just when he was confused, he heard a sound, “You will pay for your actions. I swear that you will regret this moment soon.”

Valerian turned around and found a very familiar face. He was surprised and without any hesitation, he ran forward as he shouted, “Mum!”

The lady was none other than Flos, however, she did not seem to hear his words. She was engaged in facing off the man in front of her. After running for a bit, he froze in his footsteps. Valerian looked at the man facing his mother. The man was donning black full-plate armor, with a crimson line highlighting every single joint and line of the armor.

The figure stood with a straight back and only revealed a pair of cold crimson eyes through the gap in the helmet. Valerian froze in his spot, he did not expect these eyes to contain such might, following this gaze he heard the man say, “It will not be your turn to judge if I would regret this moment or not. You shall prepare to die in a few months with that bastard seed inside of you.”

Fortuna scoffed and said, “Worry about yourself. One day, you will beg me to forgive you, but I will not give it to you. There will come a day when you beg for mercy but you won’t get any. Remember my words, for the treachery you committed to Divinus, to me, to my unborn child. It will not go unanswered. Till then you and your wild ambition will be contained to this continent.”

Valerian spotted a slight fluctuation in the eyes behind the helmet, and the men said, “You will have to stay here as well then.”

Flos smiled and burst into laughter, “You thought that you will capture Dracos after Divinus is gone, but you were wrong and you paid a price. Now you are not strong enough to even face me, let alone my companion.”

.....

The man asked, “Your companion? I have already put Divinus in the ground, who is your companion.”

As soon as his words stopped, a roar shook the scene. Valerian looked up and found a grey dragon diving down from the sky and landing right behind Flos. The man in the armor had raised his hands into knuckles and was looking at the dragon warily.

Valerian mumbled, “Her Majesty, Senium.”

Flos said, “When you killed Dracos, you incurred the hatred of every dragon in the world, and since I wanted to avenge Divinus and make you pay the price, Senium accepted me as her companion. However, my wish had to be postponed because of a certain coward who poisoned me. However, you will not be able to realize your dream either.”

The man in the armor was about to reply, when Flos turned around, she exposed her back to him and climbed over Senium’s back. She was not afraid of the man attacking her, because Senium’s eyes were spewing fire. However, this was not scaring the man to death, but it was keeping him at a bay.

Valerian did not understand why the dragon queen did not kill this man right then. After Flos sat on her back, Senium said, “Human, you have fallen to a level where killing you is not enough. Your life will be an example to all those who look up to you. Do not worry, the time will come soon when you will fall on your knees to look at the face of the person who will rid this world of you.”

The man did not react he thought that the two were simply scaring him with empty threats. He scoffed and arrogantly asked, “We will see when the time comes, but how will you make me stay in this place? You may be able to fly away now, but I will locate you, and take a piss on your remains, Flos. You will come to know that Divinus was unworthy of anything that you held.”

Flos stared at him and said, “We will see when the time comes.”

As her words dropped, Senium flapped her wings and flew up into the sky. She roared and circled around the spot a few times. Then a bunch of dragons appeared in the sky, Senium said, “Go, seal off the eastern continent, no human, magical, or magical beast should step out of this piece of land. Only when a high dragon decides to come back here shall this barrier snap. Till then, let these filthy pieces of trash rot in their own company.”

The eyes of the man stared at the scene with guilt. He shouted, “No, you cannot do this.”

Senium chuckled coldly and said, “You can backstab your best friend, you can poison the woman you claimed to love, and you can poison an unborn child. You can do what you want and how you want it, but we cannot? Lowly ant, who do you think you are to command me, the queen of dragons? Who are you to teach my kin?

Do not forget that you have yet to bear the hatred of the dragonkin for the sins you have committed. From now on, the dragonkin will not step onto this eastern continent, and the magical who leave this place will be unable to come back here. You will have no communication from the people outside and you will have no information about them either. Wait for your death with patience.”

Under the man’s shocked gaze, the dragons began to cast a spell that Valerian did not know, soon a barrier appeared in the skies, the barrier was shimmering as if stars at the night. This was the power of dragons. The man did not want to give up and without waiting for the dragons to finish their attack, he went away. Soon, Valerian saw a horde of horsemen rushing toward the barrier and they clashed with it.

Expect the ripples on the barrier, they could not even leave a mark on the place. The armored man stood at the side, suddenly his figure flickered and appeared in front of the barrier, and then he punched the barrier with all his might, but nothing happened.

Valerian watched the entire scene from the side, but suddenly, the armored man turned his gaze in his direction and charged. The silver-haired boy was shocked but suddenly he sensed a force pushing him down and he closed his eyes for a second. When he opened his eyes, a dragon head, as big as a deer’s was staring back at him.

Valerian was surprised and mumbled, “Fortuna?”

An ethereal voice sounded in his mind, “Thank goodness I was in time.”

Valerian was confused and the dragon said, “You were affected by the power of time, and it sent you to a different time. The longer you stay in that place, the more integrated you become. While your real body will stay here, an apparition of yours will appear there. However, over time as your real body losses energy, your apparition will perish and it will be a bit too late for you to revive yourself later.”

Valerian was surprised, and the dragon continued to ask, “What did you see?”

The young man sighed and said, “I saw our mothers facing the person responsible for all this. How they sealed the eastern continent and came here, on the western continent.”

The dragon was surprised, they both fell into silence, and Valerian struggled to stand up. However, he found the weight on his chest was a bit too much. He said, “Fortuna, let me stand up.”

The beast woke up from her daze and took back her claw. Valerian stood up and dusted his clothes only to find that Fortuna had changed completely. He opened his eyes and said, “What the hell happened to you?”

Fortuna chuckled and asked, “Hahaha, are you surprised by my amazing figure? Feast your eyes upon the most elegant process of dragons.”

Valerian sensed a twitch at the corner of his lips and said, “More like the most narcissistic princess of dragons.”

“What did you say?” Fortuna hit him with her tail.
