CHAPTER IV: CURTAINS OF CHAOS - SIDE B: DEPTHS OF MINAAR (2)
Upon the terrestrial ground, the Nénhums* chanted the name of the dragons. It had been a magical night, which none of them would ever forget. Wiz, after so long, appeared in the citadels of his kingdom. He planned and started a great celebration, in all the squares of the Garden, gathering all the communities of all the lineages to commemorate the great feat of his beings. The latest of them all.
“I am very proud of you, Bongo” said the Golden King with a smile on his face.
“You have proven yourself to be an exceptional dragon, but more importantly, a dragon with a big heart” he continued. “You are exactly like your father, and you have brought meaning to your grandfather´s life. Look at him! Dancing at the rhythm of joy!”
“I've never seen him like this before!” said Bongo. “I'm very happy. Although, since we left that forest, he only tells me that he has accomplished his mission. I hope he is not hinting anything serious with this.”
“I understand what you say, my son” said Wiz touching Bongo's shoulder. “You can be more direct with me.”
“I think he is trying to say goodbye, sir” he exclaimed. “I am very happy for him. This has to be the best celebration we've been in! I see him very happy. Embracing the young ones, giving his blessing. He is a true leader.”
“But?” asked Wiz.
“But I don't want him to leave” replied Bongo. “It feels good when he tells me that he is proud, he really means it; that it has been worth all of his life, and that I´m a blessing for him. He hasn't told me more than that. He repeats the same thing over and over again.”
“We all have our day, Bongo” says the Golden King. “Kramian has been with me since the day I forged this empire. I've seen him grow, I’ve seen him lead. I´ve seen him win and I’ve seem him lose. And most importantly, I've seen him become my best friend. I think it is time for him to rest, and to be reunited with the Light. It has never been a better time for this. It's fair, I don't want to demand him more than I should.”
Bongo then bowed his head. He saw in the distance his grandfather; enjoying being with the youngest dragons. Preceding the giant sadness that his grandfather would soon leave this place.
“Don't see it as a disgrace,” said Wiz. “Feel grateful, for having the opportunity to live with an energy like that. Your grandfather, is a legend. Remember that there is no such thing as death. We just move from one place to another, from one door to another. Your grandfather's spirit will always live with us. And when you need him the most, rest assured he’ll be there; when you least expect it. You'll find him always by your side, for I know he will continue guiding you.”
“Besides,” Wiz continued. “There are other plans to talk about. New projects, that are coming for you.”
“What are these plans, sir?” Bongo asked.
“When Kramian dies, the restitution of the Supreme Fire Dragon will be necessary” exclaimed Wiz. “And when this time comes, you will become this New Drago. It is the succession of the lineage. After all, only you will remain as the heir to this firepower. Well, almost the only one.”
Bongo was baffled when Wiz said the latter. Before he could ask, the Golden King continued.
“Rosaleth, your true love, is pregnant.”
The dragon was immediately perplexed. He saw his beloved in the distance, and he could not believe it.
“But sir, it doesn´t seem like she is pregnant” Bongo repeated.
“Because she isn't yet, physically” he said. “But in her womb rests the spirit of a new prince of fire, who is waiting patiently for your grandfather's departure, to wake up and manifest its presence. The Architect of Life is determined to create another heir in this lineage. It is indeed surprising, given the limited condition that this lineage has to conceive.”
Bongo didn't know what to say, though, he was very excited. But at the same time, he still felt sad for his grandfather. He still didn't process everything that Wėzhreem was telling him. He didn't know what all this meant, but as if the Golden King had read his mind, he continued speaking to him.
“You see Bongo,” said the old dragon, “while we allow certain things to go, we give space for new and better ones to arrive. Life is making an incredible project with this lineage, and I want to know where is this taking us.”
Six hundred rimerians passed by,since the event of the rain of comets. The Garden of Wiz, was still impeccable, although, he stayed isolated in the Dome of Mount Geneza and was almost not seen. This was also due to the new great leadership that overtook the empire by Bongo, the renewed Supreme Fire Dragon. With the death of Kramian, two hundred and fifty rimerians before, he naturally inherited the essence of the Supreme Dragon. He became the leader of the Splendor, and took his son to every battle with him, the Prince Dracko. He was born days after the death of the Colonel and had proved to be a great dragon in war, with impressive aggressiveness.
The humans of the Lořn race were at their maximum consolidation. They had multiplied in incalculable masses. They were found in all parts of the planet and were already considered as abundant creatures.
Among the steep and mountainous depths of Kepler, there was a unique region. This was a wooded area, covered with trees and mystical oaks. Packed with lakes and springs. Baptized as the Anaís Region. It was divided into two parts, the Forest of Anaís, which covered most of the region. And in the furthest south of the zone, below the last mountains of this region, was located the Town of Anaís. It was a lost place.
Its natives were few, a group of simple villages with very humble inhabitants, but all of them blessed with a big heart. The quality of life taught among them the spread of good intentions. And in this way, they managed to build a community full of compassion, kindness, and harmony. They excelled in cultivation and fishing techniques, for the place was surrounded by the waters of the Elietcel River.
