《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.

Tales From the Terran Republic
We tried, you know… We really did. We tried so hard to be… better… We actually were better once. No, seriously. We were enlightened, generous, peaceful… Stop laughing! We were! We were peaceful, dammit! No, I’m not “tugging your winglets.” It’s true! Look, if you’re going to be like that, I’ll just push the launch button right now. See ya, don’t wanna be… Oh, you ARE interested after all? Ok. Hey, I just got word that your captain will be ok. We were able to get him into a med pod quick enough… Of course, we tried to save him. Just what sort of people do you think we are?... Now that was harsh… completely accurate, mind you… but harsh. Anyway, like I was saying, we were a prosperous, peaceful people, and war had been nothing but a distant memory for over five hundred years before it happened... Before Yellowstone happened! You don’t mean to tell me that you didn’t know about that… massive supervolcano? Blew the Hell out of our planet? Two years where nothing grew?… Anyway, that’s what started it, the Sol Wars… Oh, you have heard about those, huh? Well, needless to say, all that enlightened, generous, and peaceful didn’t exactly make it through the two years of complete famine and the wars that followed… Maybe it’s more accurate to say the enlightened, generous, and peaceful among us didn’t survive… (laughs)… You’re right. It does explain a lot, doesn’t it? Probably for the best, though. “Enlightened” and “peaceful” aren’t really all that useful out here in the galaxy at large, are they? That reminds me; thanks for the ship. You guys did a great job with this one. Oh, don’t be like that. At least it was us what got you and not one of the really messed groups like the Harlequin or the Black Angels. We’re just going to take your shit. It could be worse… trust me... Well, anyway, we loaded the life pods down with some good food, and you guys can drink alcohol, right? We put in a couple of fifths in there, too. It’s about forty percent ethanol, so be warned. Most species will want to dilute that. We’ll drop your wounded off somewhere safe once they are stable. Your fleet patrols this area fairly regularly, and we’ll drop the distress beacon right before we jump… Well, It’s been fun and no hard feelings, right?… Oh, you want to know some more? Sure. I got time to kill… Let me tell you about this one pirate and her crew. They’re Terran scum, but they are still… Why do we hate the Terrans? Hoo Boy… How much time you got? *** It’s the thirty-second century, and humanity is now part of a galactic civilization comprised of hundreds of worlds. Humanity has been savaged by natural disaster and war and has been fractured into several separate populations, all of which loathe each other (some things never change). This is a gritty drama-driven rambling tale that swings between action, drama, horror, and plenty of very, very dark comedy. Warning: contains adult situations, absolutely horrible language, bathroom humor, implied ultra-violence, actual ultra-violence, drugs, alcohol, pirates, mercs, xeno prostitutes, moral ambiguity, deranged AI's with identity issues, giant commie space slugs, and a poor little frog girl who just wants to sell coffee. Updates twice weekly on Tuesday and Friday. *** Note: This story can get rough. Those warning tags? They aren't for show. I recently received a review and as a result I want to make one thing clear. Portraying something is NOT endorsing it! Many "heavy" topics are touched upon and just because a character says or does something does not imply that the author feels the same way. I selected the "Anti-Hero Lead" and "Villainous Lead" tags for a reason. Rule number one of this story is "no good guys". A good description of the story is, "bad people doing bad things to worse people". There are a few good characters, here and there, but they are the exception to the rule. If you want a hard-hitting, exciting, gritty sci-fi story that doesn't pull any punches, or shies away from "difficult" concepts, welcome! If you are set on a pure and noble knight that runs around and slays conveniently evil monsters and rescues totally innocent princesses... or your sensibilities are easily offended... You're not going to be happy with this one.
