RE: My Dragon Girlfriend In The Dragonic Apocalypse

--AN) 1 more coming!--

"Your eyes are clouded. Do you think this place is just in your mind? Do you really think all of this is fake? This city, this world. You know it all well, but you refuse to see it. The true you. The real purpose of our race. The drakani is not what you believe it to be." The figure replied with a bit of anger in his voice.

"Listen, maybe it's because your memories are not complete due to the way you became one of my kind. After all, I am only a part of the consciousness that was in the blood you took in." The figure's words shocked Blake. He did find it strange that he was speaking with someone who seemed way too knowledgeable. He also found it strange how he was so willing to accept it as normal.

But now that he was thinking about it and looking at things from a new angle, he realized he really should have questioned many things. He walked over and sat down in front of the figure with one knee up to rest his chin on. "I am all ears. The more I know about my own race, the better."

"Mmm… I am glad you are willing to learn. Only by learning will you truly understand what a drakani is." The figure also sat down. It was then that the hood was pulled off, revealing a young man with black hair and horns on his head. He looked no more than twenty years of age and was very handsome.

"The blood you took in was mine. I had left it to be found in case anything happened to my kind on this planet or we decided to move on. As long as it was found by someone with a bit of knowledge, they would know what kind of blood it was. And just how precious the blood was.

"The drakani are somewhat of an experiment. Or, to be precise, we are a failed experiment or thought to have been so. We are a byproduct of a race from another world that had wanted to try to use the different kinds of races of this world to create a new god like race. While we were indeed immortal from birth, we were not exactly what the race was expecting. From what I know, they tossed us into this world with all the other races and left thinking that they had failed.

"But what they did not understand was that this world is a world where evolution is key to growing in power. They did not spend long enough on this planet to understand that and moved on.

"It was also our race that had rediscovered the old ways of evolution. I guess I can say it was more instilled within us. As I said before, our race is a mix of every race on this planet, including monsters.

"We are made up of millions of different genes, and the ones that stood out the most were the vampire bloodline, the succubus bloodline, the dragon bloodline, and the guardian bloodline, the bloodline of our creators." The figure's last words caused Blake to become stunned.

"Wait, the guardian? Do you mean the people who created the drakani were called guardians?" Blake asked. He did not know there were such things as demons in this world.

"That is what they called themselves. They could have just made it up for all I know. But I can say that from what I learned they were indeed powerful.

"Another thing that should be made clear is that the drakani did not go extinct. We left this world. With the power of evolution, we did not need to wish to be part of this world. Some may think we died out or that we were exterminated, but the truth of the matter is that we tore time and space and left this world for another realm.

"When I said they called us failures, but we were not. I say this because we grew in strength so fast that even the other races had to walk on eggshells around us. Our power is something that other races only see rarely. But they can never grasp the power the way we do. And that is space time manipulation. We can turn back time or move it forward. We can even stop it altogether. We can even create voids of nothingness to use as storage. Our power is different from what the Ather dragons are able to do. We do not manipulate the world itself but the space and time around it. If you wanted to, you could reverse time to the past before the dragonic even showed up and destroy them all before they even had a chance to step out of the void.

"Don't think I do not know what has been going on. I have tapped into your memories and know everything about you. Space time magic is not something easily controlled, but it is also something that makes a drakani feared. If you truly wish to evolve and become powerful enough to protect everything you love and care about, then find your true self.

"I have already spoken this far. It is up to you to dig out the memories of the drakani that will allow you to find your true being. Do not let me down. You have inherited my blood, after all." The figure stood up. It seemed he was done speaking.

"Can I at least know your name?" Blake wanted to know the name of the man who had allowed him to become powerful quicker than he had ever imagined.

"Larse. I will not give you any more clues. It is up to you now." Larse's body began to fade until it disappeared from sight.

Blake sat there staring at the dirty wall for a while, trying to take in everything he heard. He spent almost five hours sitting there before finally standing up. Then he bowed deeply as he said: "As the one who allowed me to become the man I am today. Thank you."
