A little chat with some holy men


    |What ?|(Eali)


    |J-just read it.|(Apocalypse)


    I hand the book to Eali, she takes it and read it before closing it again.


    |I see what you mean ...... Should we stop here or do you think we can continue our date ?|(Eali)


    She ask with worry understanding the mental dammage I just took. The book tell the story between Wrath and Forgiveness, it''s full of religious bullshit but in short from the union of Wrath and Forgiveness a boy and a girl were born. The boy was filled with sin and the girl filled with purity. Humility took in the girl while the boy was regarded as an heresy and his still ploting his return after having been banished.


    I don''t a bit of the little shit they said but I do I care about the fact that I have a twin sister that stayed here, you might say it is just a children story but all legends have some truth to them. Plus that boo shouldn''t even exist since it speak openly about the dragons and the tytans/Vermillion, such a thing is forbidden by the church.


    First the book in the Empire library and then this one. Something is wrong and I can''t fix it with my power. It''s like someone put it here on purpose but how did this someone knew that we would come here and look in that shelf in particular.


    |No ... I don''t think I can go on anymore, I''ll prefer if we returned to the mansion. Sorry.|(Apocalypse)


    |You''re not at fault, but are you sure that even if she exist she is still alive ? I mean it has been 500 hundred years and you once said that a Vermillion lifespan was merely two century and a half.|(Eali)


    As I stood up and took back the book, we can''t let it stay here, I spoke with Eali. What she said made sense but she forgot something.


    |Don''t forget that our mother is a dragon, a dragon-newt lifespan is a few thousand years and some stories say that the child of a dwarf and a dragon lifespan is several dozen of thousand years so I doupt that my sister, if I do have a sister, and I who are the children of a species that lives even longer than dwarves and a dragon will have a lifespan shorter than five hundred years.


    If the dragon-newt from before tha Vermillion disappearance were still around I''d ask them to give me information about tha dragons but they disappeared a few years after tha Vermillion so now tha only dragon-newt remaining are younger than five hundred years old and belong to tha church.|(Apocalypse)


    I tink about the church and curse myself as I remember that I revealed my affiliation with dragons earlier because I was mad. They will surely come to me to take me with them. I don''t plan on doing that and if they ever try to take me by force .... Well let''s just say that Imperion and I know a few skills that can level a country.


    When I get back to the Mansion I immediatly go to bed, it''s only the end of the after-noon and the sun isn''t even setting but I feel exausted. I lay down in my bed and soon my conciousness drift away. I open my eyes and find myself in a dark room, it doesn''t feel like when I met the dragon goddes, it felt familiar. An enormous dragon appeared, he had blue scales and the body of a drake, his green slitted eyes were burning with the fire of power an each breath it took reek with might. He was gazing at me but did not appear menacing, he was familiar.


    |At last you have learned.|(Dragon)


    The voice sounded familiar, it was a deep masculine voice echoing in my head. He had white sharp teeth and claws, they looked new yet dangerous.


    |Learned what and who are you ?|(Apocalypse)


    I was calm, too calm for this kind of situation. I felt home and I was in peace of mind before this gigantic beast, I would even think that he was bigger than the dragon goddess but I can''t really tell since I wasn''t in the same form when I met the goddess.


    |Do you not remember me ? But we had soooo much fun together in the past without our dear goddess we would certainly have met earlier.|(Dragon)


    |I don''t know who you are. If I must remember something about a dragon theargggg|(Apocalypse)


    Images and sounds flashed through my mind. A red dragon breathing his flame on a man. His last words and the woman cry. A face, a woman face, she has blue eyes and long blue eyes, she looks at me with love. I hear my name being called.


    |Apocalypse, Apocalypse Apocalypse Apocalypse.|(Voices)


    |Your name is Apocalypse Satan Seraph Amael Vermillion, welcome to our world dear.|(woman voice)


    |KILL THEM ALL FOR THEIR SINS !!|(Man voice)


    The red dragon, the red dragon, the red dragon. I hold my head in pain as I curl into a ball. The pain is splitting my head apparts.


    |You remember this lizard but you forget about ME !!|(Dragon)


    The dragon flap his wings as he roar, his shout making my vision shake. Even in the dark all I see his blury. I shout my pain away only for it to come back stronger. It feels like my head is splitting in two. His roar grew even louder, it was filled with rage and power. He shot his breath at me, engulfing me in a torrent of flame.


    |Come back when you remember fucker !!|(Dragon)


    I woke up, sweating and painting. I still had a big headache and I was shivering, I looked around me to see all my wife and wife-to-be sleeping near to me. I got to see Yualina sleepng face but I was too confused to care. I got up from my bed and almost fell face first at my first step.


    I held on to the wall so I don''t fall and slowly make my way to the door. With my kin ears I heard the sound of several people walking outside, they seem to be heavy armored and well trained since they were walking in unisson. Before leaving the room I grab a staff to help me walk, it is 1 meter and 70 centimeters long so I can somehow support my weight with it.The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.


    I went to the entrance and opened the door, it seems that only my legs had gone weak since I was able to open it quite easily. I went the the front gate and the people who were approaching came into view. They were wearing the same armor as the three knights I killed earlier, or yeasteray since it seems to be the morning.


    I could see one man in the front of the group, he was wearing an heavier armor and had a hallberd, he looked like he was in his mid forties and he didn''t have useless movements. In the center of the group was a man in a white and golden robe, surely the bischop. I stood in front of the gate, leaning against the staff. I don''t kow why they came so early that even the maids and butler are still sleeping but I doupt they have good intention. Only two guards are at my side, a bear-kin man and a rabbit-kin woman.


    The group of knight approached us and stopped walking when they were 3 meters away from us. The man in the heavier armor spoke.


    |The bischop Tured wish to see this mansion''s master.|(Man)


    |He is in front of ya, brat.|(Apocalypse)


    I am technicly speaking older than him, you know I was born five hundred years ago and all. He raise an eyebrow while some of the knights throw insult at me. I bent a little and took five little rock in my hand. I flicked my finger, sending the stone in the trees, five *thuck* were heard and people fell from the trees.


    |Do not worry, they are not dead. Though ya might want ta take them away.|(Apocalypse)


    I smiled and they gulped, the five were archers and each one of them already had arrow ready on their bows, too bad for them I heard them moving in the trees.


    |The citizens told us that the duke was a dragon-newt, you clearly aren''t one.|(Man)


    I forced a transformation and unfolded my wings. When my horns grew it gave me another headache but I barely noticed it as I was already in pain. The guards next to me unsheathed their weapon and took a took a fighting stance. The right leg in front of the left one and the sword held straight in front of their face.


    |What ?!|(Man)


    |Leave, disgrace like ya make me sick.|(Apocalypse)


    They all kneeled down as I said that. I clicked my tongue as I gaze upon the fifty armored men lowering their head to me. It felt wrong, not in the sense that I felt uncomfortable but more in the sense it made me even sicker. The two guards at my side put their on my arms since they couldn''t reach my shoulders. I took back my most human form and took a step forwards.


    |What do ya want here ?|(Apocalypse)


    Without raising his head the man spoke.


    |We wanted to invite the esteemed dragon son to join the great church.|(Man)


    I grabbed his short grey hair and made him raise his head, he grunted because of the sudden pain I looked at him in the eyes. I forced the biginning of the tytan transformation, the eyes and the teeth. My teeth grew sharper and my eyes became red like blood. In a slightly soothing yet filled with madness voice I said to him wth a smile on my face.


    |What''s so great about trash like ya ?|(Apocalypse)


    |W-what are you ?|(Man)


    |You want ta know what I am ? KAKAKAKAKAKAKAKA listen everyone, those bastards whant ta know who they dared attack. Come on ya two tell them who I am.|(Apocalypse)


    |Our master Apocalypse Vermillion, The god of wrath.|(The two guards.)


    The man and the one in robe flinched at the my name, even though Crimson(Vermillon) sound pretty obvious they can''t say anything but if I was called Vermillion they would surely find a way to get rid of me, here I just openly said I was a Vermillion and also that I was a dragon-newt.


    |T-t-the cursed child.|(The man in robe)


    I slwoly made my way between the knights helping myself with the staff, I push away those who get too close too either try to stop me or to just touch me. A carnivorous smile crack on my face, I lean closer to his face. He his old, baldness hit him pretty badly and the remaining hair are completly white.


    |Looks like someone here knows me. Too bad most of yar information are surely false. Ya see I don''t car a bit about me having been banished since I am pretty sure I couldn''t even spoke at tha time. No I just want ta find my mother and that''s all. Ya see I don''t knw a thing about dragons and I don''t want ta.


    By tha way I''ve got things ta talk about with ya since yar the bischop, right ?|(Apocalypse)


    He nodded weakly.


    |Okay then, Hum hum. IMPERION GET YAR ASS HERE YA BASTARD !!|(Apocalypse)


    After a while Imperion got out of the mansion and looked around, he jumped and landed right next to me.


    |What the fuck happened here .... and fuck you look sick, are you sure you are okay.|(Imperion)


    |Yeah yeah yeah, could ya watch over them for a bit, I need ta speak ta this one here. Yeah if they try anything funny, just knock them out I don''t want needless death. I''ll tell the maids ta bring them a little something later, oh and if there is any racist comments it isn''t called a needless death.|(Apocalypse)


    |Okay .... just you do know you love beastmen way too much.|(Imperion)


    |Shut up and stay here.|(Apocalypse)


    I walk away dragging the bischop and drag the man I spoke to earlier to. I grin as a walk weakly inside my mansion and throw them in one of the living-room and ask a maid to bring us some tea, I tell them to sit on of the couch, they do it though reluctantly. I do the same.


    |Sorry for having been a little rude, ya see ya just came after quite a nasty nightmare so I got a bit rough.|(Apocalypse)


    |Nightmares are only the work of the goddess on the heretics.|(Bischop Tered)


    |Though I command yar courage for telling something like that, I must say it is not true, ya see I spoke with the said goddess and she rather casually helped me get better. But what you say isn''t completly untrue, I have tha unch that dragons aren''t completly unrulated ta that matter.|(Apocalypse)


    |I refuse to believe it, why would she help the child of the tytan who is her ennemy ? An heretic at that.|(Bischop Tered)


    |Well I don''t know but my mother was a dragon and I must say that even though I am supposed to serve the tytan of Earth I don''t know shit about him so I can only rely on her since is the most wide spread and I do believe that this is tha case for most Vermillion.|(Apocalypse)


    |Master, here is your tea. Lady Yualina brew it herself.|(Maid)


    I take the tea and thanks the maid, telling her to kiss Yua for me. She give tea to my two guest and she leaves after bowing. I take a zip of tea and am surprised that Yua''s tea got even better than before. The two hesitate a bit but still drink some of it and seems pleased.


    |So you are saying that the Vermillion are back ? It means that those people back then weren''t joking, tch we should have arrested them.|(man in armor)


    I burst out laughing and the man looks at me, not understanding why. I feel better than before, I feel strengh coming back to my legs. I whipe the tears from my eyes and do my best not to spill any tea.


    |Ya''re funny, even the weakest of us can level a city if not a country, ya know we aren''t dragon slayer for nothing. Though I do think that there aren''t many of us that know that we are, so of course they wouldn''t try to challenge an heavenly dragon and even those who know won''t do something as stupid as that, I think.


    Though I am worried about those that will actualy be that stupid. By the way armor dude, what''s yar name.|(Apocalypse)


    |He is Vemir Kepl, the commander of the sun corps. But what do you mean by that.|(Bischop Tered)


    I call a maid and tell her to bring the diary of the mad man of the orphenage incident. When she return she is holding the diary of Rutur Vermillion. I handed it to them and explained the situation. I sit down again and too anotherzip of tea. They look inside the book and close it.


    |Why are you giving this to us.|(Bischop Tered)


    |Because I want ta warn ya and I need ally in the country of Drakar, ya see the people in this organization want ta take over tha world. A pretty cliche thing but if they ever do that it would be quite troublesome and make a lot of noise in my quiet life. So I want ta exterminate them so I can continue ta life peacefuly with my friends and family.|(Apocalypse)


    Suddenly the door burst open and Barandian enter, he his panting and his clothes are slightly teared in some places. His eyes wander in the room before falling on me. He catche his breat and tells me.


    |The stampede is heading towards the city.|(Barandian)
