Pov Luminus (True Dragon Emperor of Light):
The Dragon Emperor lost control as I spoke, it seems I didn't choose my words well, but I couldn't expect him to explode so quickly right at the beginning of the conversation, but before he could do anything a voice came from the balcony in pieces of the living room throne.
"Stop whining about her you idiot!"
Soon a woman appears, or perhaps I should call it a Spirit, a youthful appearance with wavy silver hair, skin as black as the fairest night, and eyes as blue as the ocean.
She was only a Spirit Princess at best, she couldn't really feel her strength while being crushed by the Dragon Emperor's Aura, but she entered here as if it were her home, fearlessly walking towards us.
"What are you doing here!?" (Arash)
"I knew something like this would happen, I was lucky Caitlyn warned me before she left, she knew you wouldn't be able to hold her temper."
"Go away, this is a matter for the Dragons, you shouldn't be here!" (Arash)
I almost couldn't move my neck, but I still did enough to see the Dragon Emperor turn his body to face this Spirit, also felt him pulling his Aura back inside his body releasing the pressure that was crushing my body.
"Lux, are you..." (I)
"I'm fine, he was more focused on you so be careful." (Lux)
"You're hopeless, after all this time and you still can't spend 5 minutes looking at me."
"I said go away!" (Arash)
"Or what are you going to do? You can't even look me in the eye."
I didn't expect to see the dominant Dragon Emperor from before acting like this now, at first I didn't understand what was going on, but the more I looked at this Spirit, the more I realized who she was.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Lux, she is..." (I)
"..." (Lux)
I look at Lux, I can see the shame on her face as she looks down, just like me, she chose to carry the burden of her people, she took upon herself all the sins our predecessors did, it means the shame of that day.
"You should listen to them, you know it has nothing to do with that day..."
"What do you know about that day!?" (Arash)
"Nothing more than vague memories, but manage to comprehend what they did! I should have exterminated every damn thing…" (Arash)
"ARASH!!!!"
"..." (Arash)
She approaches him with a serious face and places her hand on his shoulder.
"Don't judge an entire race or tribe by the mistakes of a few..."
"I don't care, what they took from me is something I can never get back! Something more important than my life!" (Arash)
"I don't know why you're here speaking on their behalf, but even you can't change my heart on this matter!" (Arash)
"Arash, don't say her death so lightly, she wouldn't agree about it."
"Besides, you might not listen to me, but you know her as well as I do, what would she say to you now?"
"..." (Arash)
GGGGHRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!
BAAMMM! BOOMMMM!
After realizing that she could be, I began to understand parts of their conversation and why the Dragon Emperor was acting like this.
The words she said just now were so heavy on him that his body froze in place for a few seconds and right after that a roar that made space itself tremble resounded from his mouth, the power of that roar could have destroyed an entire city if we were in another place, but this mountain that harbored ages of Dragon Emperors can withstand it.
"(That's...)" (I)
I for a fraction of a second could feel an Aura fluctuate in his roar, the Aura that was previously taken by hatred was almost unrecognizable to me, his Aura was marked by pain, and tears came out of my eyes without me noticing due to the influence of so much pain and suffering.
The Dragon Emperor punched a crystal column nearby that shattered into pieces before looking at the Spirit who was looking at him with a smile rendering him immobile.
"I cannot and will not forgive them, even in death I will curse these traitors for eternity!" (Arash)
"These are not true words and you know it, they are the words of someone suffering, you know they carry no blame."
"Why did you come here, Moon Spirit." (Arash)
"Even after all this time you still won't say my name?"
"The only person who holds that name for me will always be her." (Arash)
"I've said this before you stubborn Lizard, I don't and won't replace her, but as a successor, I care about her as much as you do."
"She didn't feel anger or hate at the end, in her mind only two images existed, the two people most important to her."
"What do you think she would say if she could see you right now!?"
"Seeing one of the people he cares most about acting so childishly, blaming the innocent and attacking people who are bowing down and asking for forgiveness for things they didn't even do!"
"You two, go away, come back in 2 days when things calm down."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"But I must at least..." (I)
"If you want him to listen, then go back when I told you, if you continue, you'll only get a pointless death, so go."
"Thank you, Spirit of Dark Nights." (Lux)
Lux grabs my arm to force me out with her.

Pov Arash:
I let those two go, I'm not in the mood to kill today and sit back on my throne while keeping my hand over my eyes.
"Just go away! Looking at you is..." (I)
"Say, for once in my life, finish saying." (Stella)
"You look so much like her, your hair, your eyes, your face, and even her voice..." (I)
"But even so, you're not her..." (I)
"I will never be her, I also know that nobody expects that, not even you." (Stella)
"Why are you here!?" (I)
"Why are you regressing, the you you are now looks like the same one that had to be sealed away for centuries to not commit something you would regret." (Stella)
"I know that meeting your daughter didn't just bring back good memories, but you don't want her to see a father like that." (Stella)
"Leave Nix out of this." (I)
"Turbulent moments are near, it's time to forget the past to be able to look ahead." (Stella)
"I will never forget that day." (I)
Sigh
"Looks like this is going to be as difficult as I thought." (Stella)
