-50 YEARS AFTER MARCUS WENT TO SLEEP-

Marcus wakes up exactly fifty years after he went to sleep and immediately casts magic to clean himself and all the buildings on Xiwen. ‘I guess it is finally time to put my plan into action but first i need to check and make sure the animals have populated the continent enough to sustain the inhabitants’ He casts a surveying magic and is shocked at how many animals there are on Xiwen now. ‘I guess it is different in this world but that is okay with me because that means that i will never have to worry about the animals becoming endangered’ He laughs at that thought before going outside and looking at the sun for the first time in fifty years.

After bathing in the sun for a few hours he decides to get started and teleports to the continent he woke up on but he made sure to teleport into a forest where there are no humans nearby. He then casts the surveying magic again to find out if there are any remnants of the races that haven’t been enslaved yet and is surprised to find that there are a few villages scattered around and hidden that the races are hiding in.

‘At least they are not stupid and knew how to hide themselves so it won’t be to hard to get the school’s up and running but i am still going to have to impart my own knowledge to them so they can teach the children better’ He teleports to the first village he spotted before shapeshifting into an elf since that is the race that is living in this village and he doesn’t want them to cower in fear from him being in his dragon form constantly.

-POV OF THE PEOPLE FROM THE VILLAGE-

Everyone was just doing their regular jobs in the village when an overbearing pressure enveloped everyone then just as soon as it did it went away. When they looked outside the village they could see an elf man standing there before he started walking towards them.

The people of the village have never seen this man and so they were wary of him especially after that pressure they felt just a few seconds ago, They didn’t believe a man of their race could give out that kind of pressure but they wanted to be safe just in case so they were polite with him until the village chief came to talk to the man.

The village chief looked like he was in his forties but will elves you can really tell their age by their looks so he may very well be in his hundreds or thousands. “Who are you sir and why have you come here if you don’t mind me asking ?” Even though the elf man looked young the chief was very polite

The man just smiled at them before speaking some very shocking words that no one believed at first. “My name is marcus and i am a black dragon, I have come here to offer you all a permanent home in the kingdom i have built on the forbidden continent”

The village chief was shocked at first but then smiled wryly thinking the man was crazy. “Sir we may very well be on the run and not have all of the knowledge of our ancestors anymore but we know better than to believe a kingdom could be on the forbidden continent and that a dragon can change into a human” Everyone chuckled what the village chief said.

The man just laughed a little. “I can understand your disbelief and so i will show you my true form before changing back to this one so we can continue to talk” The man really did change into a black dragon before changing back which terrified everyone as they started sweating and shaking.

The village chief bowed very quickly and apologized. “Please sir dragon i am sorry i didn’t believe you so don’t destroy this village and kill everyone” Everyone else followed the village chief elder in bowing and begging for their lives.

The man seemed upset at this which scared everyone thinking they may have offended him but then he smiled before talking to them in a calm and soothing voice. “I do not want to harm anyone from this village, I only want to give you the choice of having a permanent home in my kingdom”

The village chief straightened up and sighed in relief when he heard the man and when he thought about the man’s offer a thought came to him that he voiced out. “But sir the forbidden continent is the home of the strongest monsters on this planet so how can we live there safely even with you around ?”

The man laughed a little. “You can just call me Marcus instead of sir and to answer your question i have killed every single thing that lived on that continent and then remade it the way i wanted before setting safe animals as well as predators free on the continent but don’t worry they are not anyway near as strong as the animals that used to live there”

The village chief was shocked but still answered. “Can we have time to think about this ?”

Marcus replied back to them in the positive. “Yes you can. I plan to go to the other races that have hidden themselves away and give them the same offer before i then will go and order the kingdoms to give up all of their slaves or i will destroy their kingdom” He started off in a warm and soothing voice before he ended in a cold voice that terrified everyone once again.

The village chief was shaking after hearing him before his face brightened up. “You plan to save our brethren as well as the other races that are enslaved ?”

Marcus nods at them. “I plan to do exactly that, I will give you time to make a choice as i still have to talk to the other villages but i would like an answer in a week” Then Marcus disappears presumably heading to the next village.

The village chief looks back at his people after getting over the shock of everything that has happened. “We will have a meeting to discuss today’s events and decide what to do” Everyone in the village agrees and walks off to gather anyone that may have missed what just happened.
