《Saga of the Celestial Warriors - The Journey》CELESTIAL SOWNDOWN IN SPACE
Advertisement
Drackonius Dorogon was already crossing the distance from the moons and was very far from its world. Its golden aura shone like a star in the darkness and immensity of outer space.
Dorogon traversed the other planets of the solar system with great speed because it wanted the battle to be as far from its planet as it could be. He was already beginning to feel Leviathan's enormous power ever closer. As it was approaching its brother it was moving away from the solar system.
Finally, the two dragons meet. Leviathan was emanating a giant black aura. It was exactly like Dorogon except that his coloring was all black and his eyes were red. The two dragons stop their trajectory and begin to communicate telepathically in the vacuum of dark space.
“Brother! What do you intend to do to our home planet? Wasn't my and our mother's pity enough for you to leave Chaos and live peacefully?”
“You are a fool, Drackonius! Our mother created me to slaughter our own species and Drakkenn taught it with incredible mastery! Each execution I performed filled my heart with sadness and hatred. I could no longer accept your purpose for me as a murder tool. I have never been able to live in peace since I was created or when I isolated myself in space or when I annihilated other worlds. The gods think they can do whatever they want while writing down the fate of beings to be trapped in the burden of carrying them!”
“And being a tool for Chaos and Arkhatov is freedom for you? This thinking is just Chaos influencing your mind! Wake up, brother!” Dorogon was very sad to feel its brother's anger.
“We were created when Chaos influenced Gaia's mind, BROTHER! Who do you think is our true creator? I don't care about Arkhatov or his fallen brother. What I want is to free our species from the tyranny of you and humans, to create a world where dragons can live according to their true nature!” Leviathan was glaring.

“Dragons live in harmony with the world! I was always reasonable in my decisions and struggled to purge myself of the influence of Chaos. Many have failed. There were those who never succumbed to Chaos even when their lives were on the verge of despair. You can still purge yourself of that being and I can help you.”
“Chaos is just the manifestation of the natural order for me! He is the father who accepts everything and who serves the real freedom, who drives beings away from the selfishness of the other damned gods! I would come back with you and then? Would I, again, murder my own species simply because they follow their nature? Like before… Do you think that's fair brother?”
“You wouldn't need to execute anyone else. Our species live in harmony in our world! You are welcome in our world if you want to return in peace.”
“What about the blood of our brothers and sisters that I carry in my fangs and claws? Do you think they would forgive us? What you call harmony, I call domestication! You let me live in our world, but what for? My pain has only increased since I left for space! True mercy it would be if you ended my life in that war! I will not run away anymore, because I will not accept fate! I will not bow to anything and anyone. Get out of my way; I don't want to destroy you! I have achieved a lot of power in these last millennia and Chaos has strengthened me even more.” Leviathan was beginning to expand his black aura.
“ I don't want to hurt you either! I know you are stronger than me right now! But I will not allow you to destroy our world, after so much suffering to be able to live in peace with the other creation of our mother.” Dorogon raised his golden aura.
Leviathan fired a powerful blast of black fire at Dorogon, which he fought with his golden fire. The impact of the celestial flames created a sphere the size of a planet. The black flame was overcoming the golden flame and little by little Dorogon was being dragged backward. With great speed, Dorogon dodges the range of black flames.

Leviathan rushes to his brother and starts slashing Dorogon with his black claws, which hits Dorogon's eye and also his chest. The golden blood floated in a vacuum along with the plucked eye. Dorogon takes advantage of the proximity to bite Leviathan's paw that was almost close to attack his other eye. Dorogon rips off that paw and the black blood floats in away through the space vacuum. Dorogon unleashes a blast of fire that strikes Leviathan directly, driving him away. Leviathan blocks this attack with his black wings.
The black aura rises and Leviathan fires another blast of black fire at Dorogon. The golden dragon tries to deflect, but the fire destroys its left wing. Leviathan manifested his black aura healing his own wounds.
Dorogon takes this moment to move forward and tears Leviathan's belly with his hind legs, taking advantage of the movement to rotate backward. Leviathan avoids the evasive maneuver by grabbing his brother's tail and amputating it with a bite. Dorogon turns and fires a burst of golden fire that hits Leviathan in the head, causing great damage to the black dragon. His bones were exposed. Once more, Leviathan manifests his regenerating aura. A brief pause takes place and Leviathan watched his brother wounded in pain.
“Why don't you heal yourself with your aura? Are you trying to die by chance, Drackonius? I will not pity you! I've done worse things with our brothers and sisters!”
“Why don't you stop talking and face me again? I haven't felt the sensation of defeating you again for a long time, and it feels good!” Drackonius returns the provocation that deeply irritates Leviathan.
The black dragon emanates its gigantic aura and darted against Dorogon. Leviathan begins to slice Dorogon's body with its dark claws, the wounds were very deep, but Dorogon concentrated on expanding the power of its own aura.
Dorogon's aura was the size of a small star. Leviathan, blinded by rage, kept using its claws against his brother, which resulted in Dorogon almost completely torn apart by the slashing attacks. When Leviathan became aware, he was enveloped in Drackonius' enormous aura. Dorogon bites the black dragon's neck and grabs it with its paws immobilizing the black dragon. Leviathan couldn't get rid of his brother's fangs and claws. Dorogon leaves at great speed towards a gaseous planet outside the solar system.
Dorogon's aura expanded as he entered the planet nearing its core. A chain reaction was beginning to ignite the whole atmosphere.
“What do you intend to do? Why don't you accept your defeat?”
“I already accepted it! It will be my last act of punishment. I will avenge the deaths of our kind by my orders and your deeds!” after transmitting these words to Leviathan, Dorogon communicated telepathically with King Bruce:
“Bruce! I always loved you like the son I could never have! Be strong! Don't let loneliness consume you! You have never been alone. Open your eyes and your heart! Be a good human like you always have been and try to live your life the way you see fit. Farewell… my son!” Dorogon interrupts the telepathy.
Upon reaching the core of the planet Dorogon begins to shine brighter than a star. This ignition explodes the planet disintegrating Dorogon's body along with Leviathan. The planet exploded while Dorogon's aura disintegrated every molecule and atom that existed in that place. Only the emptiness of space remained.
The golden aura was slowly fading. Dorogon sacrificed himself to save his beloved world. Bruce was looking at the afternoon sky, through his bedroom window, with tears in his eyes and he could see the glow of the explosion.
Dorogon and Leviathan were no more even in their spiritual forms. They were created the same day, but both, with all their millennial wisdom, could never have guessed they would cease to exist the same day.

8 149The Curio Shoppe
Kellan Klein is an ordinary college student with an average, if traumatic and painful past. Everyone grows up grappling with depression and anxiety that seem to be genetic in a house with parents that, while loving, fight all the time and have weird ideas about what kids should and shouldn't do, right? Everyone deals with bullying, racism, judgement on their romantic inclinations and their family's economic status and just general shittiness, right? All of Kellan's friends sure did, and for all of them, entertaiment media were a welcome escape from their painful, dreary lives. After all, who wouldn't want to sail the seas with Monkey D. Luffy and the Strawhats, or help Meng Hao con increasingly powerful and influential people, or join Cecil Harvey and his friends on their weird journey to save the world, or make friends with Peter Parker while pretending to not know he was everyone's favorite wall-crawling superhero? Kellan certainly wanted to, and while he pursued college to seek out a career he saw himself enjoying, something felt inexplicably empty about his life. So when a decidely sinister force kidnaps him and the prettiest man he's ever seen saves his life and offers him his wildest dreams, Kellan becomes the shopkeeper of a mysterious, dimension hopping shop, complete with a system that helps him acquire items. abilities, materials, and other cool shit to stock it with, as well as some other neat perks. Will Kellan become a boring overpowered MC, like the kind from web fiction that he reads to sate his boredom? Will he keep his generally kind, sweet nature despite the shit he's gone through and will go through, or will he inexplicably become a scary, violent, irrational arrogant douchebag? Will he use his newfound abilities to explore the multiverse and improve the lives of himself and others, or will he become his own antithesis, a purely mercantile jerk obsessed with money and profit, with no concern for anything that doesn't help or hurt his business? Find out in The Curio Shoppe! Author's note: Please suggest possible setting he could visit in the comments. I'll gather ones i'm familiar with, and at the end of every arc, a poll will be held to decide the next location he visits. There will be polls for other purposes, and I might not always go with the poll winner if I feel one of the other options is more fun to read/write about. I will not use the settings of other RRL writers without their permission.Do not ask for that, unless the author in question gives permission. Most settings he visits will be slightly AU in some way or another, but please remind me if I drift too far from canon unintentionally or characterize a character wrongly. This work will eventually fit all tags I selected once he visits universes suited to those tags, so don't ask when or where a given tag is coming. I do not own the cover art, it belongs to Nicholas Belanger Thiel, and I will stop using it if he asks me to. Kellan doesn't look like the old man on the cover, though once he acquires a disguise-type ability he may occasionally use that appearance. The tapir, however, will be a thing, as despite looking like a failed attempt at an elephant, tapirs are cool and this dragon finds them to be kinda cute. The art, along with more of Nicholas's pieces, can be found at https://www.artstation.com/artwork/51bXz

And... he fulfilled all those criteria! Unfortunately, those wishful thoughts vanished after seeing his reflection in the water. No...it wasn't because his looks remained impressively unimpressive. It was due to the two words in block capitals that hovered just above his head: [BACKGROUND CHARACTER]
