Elarayne - What Am I?

Chapter 30

"Are you... the Creator of another world?"

The man smiles devilishly.

"Yes... Indeed. That's correct. I am the Creator of the world of Darkness. I created a world based on darkness. It's the living source of my beings. The darkness in their hearts as in other creatures hearts. There is no light in my world and that's good so. It is worthy to be the winner... not this disgusting world."

I look at him with disapproval.

"That's right. Your world is disgusting as is your Creator. As were the other Creators before her."

"Were?"

"Yes... were. You see, I killed them. First the world of fire got destroyed by me. Then the world of ice, water and desert. Just a few thousand years ago the world of light died. They're gone now as is their world. As only this world and my world is left, I have have to kill your Creator. Only a Creator can kill another Creator."

"How can you kill someone if you're not physically here?"

"You do have a point, I give you that. But you see... We're now inside a head of one of my pets. If it gets killed, I'm dead. If I kill you, your Creator is dead. That's why I need you, she's in your head."

"No she isn't."

"Stop lying. She must be there. We searched the minds of her other pets she likes to call dragons. She wasn't there. But she must be somewhere. Every Creator has found a vessel in which it will watch and guide its own world. As have I. And naturally they choose the strongest creature. Since you are the only dragon left we haven't taken control of... I know that your Creator is in your head."

"You won't succeed.", I say.

"Trust me, I will. I never fail.", the Creator of the world of darkness says. He motions his hand and yet again I feel the pressure of transforming.

This time I won't allow it. He won't see me transform into my dragon form.

I resist and attack him immediately. But he has foreseen it and thus counter attacks me.

He hits me with some kind of dark magic. I try to dodge his attacks but not every time it succeeds. The time when he hits me my life energy gets weakened. What is that magic? I have never seen something like that before.
I wasn't concentrated for a second and I can feel how the hit is bringing me to my feet. I struggle to stand up again but my body feels weak.

"You can't defeat me in your current form. I created those pets and I know everything about them.", the Creator of the world of darkness says and leans forward to me.

I use this opportunity and scratch him with my long black claws in the face. He screams in pains and backs away from me.

"How dare you! Now I won't hold back.", he says. He seems to summon something... He has got his eyes closed and some kind of energy is emerging from him.

I try to attack him while he is distracted but as I get near him a barrier blocks my way. The Creator is using some kind of shield magic...

He opens his eyes and behind him stands now an army of Drevoks and other creatures from the world of darkness.

The Creator smiles devilishly. He turns around and attempts to hide between his stupid pets.

But he won't get away. I run with the power I have towards him and get ready to hit him hard.

As I ready my arm I can feel a coldness running through my body. I get closer to him but he disappears in the crowd. Now I am standing directly in front of hundreds of unknown creatures wanting to kill me.

They get closer and the coldness in my body gets stronger. Could it be?

I let the coldness out that results in a blast freezing all of my enemies around me. I found the Creator again who wanted to flee from the fight. Such a loser.

I send a blast of ice into his direction hitting him with full strength. I'm not giving him time to recover so I send more ice blasts toward his way.

He is falling on his knees but still not falling to the ground. I am now standing before him preparing for the final blow.

"Any last words?", I ask him.

"Go to hell."

I freeze his entire body until it is only a statue. Then I shatter it into many pieces until there are only shards of who used to be a Creator. Did I truly defeat the Creator of another world?

Maybe I should get out of Arexlans head. The Drevoks should be gone as should their world be.

I get out of Arexlans body. The darkness fades and I open my eyes. The storm has passed and the eyes of my fellow dragons are normal again. But they aren't moving yet.

Nothing is moving. There is no wind and I can't feel the heat of the desert sun.

"Thank you.", a sweet voice says.

I don't know from where the voice comes.

"What?"

"I thank you for defeating the enemy and the refugee you provided."

"Refugee? What are you talking about?"

"As I left Orraikles' body, because I knew he would be possessed, I needed a dragon I could live within. You were the only one in which I could hide before the enemy."

"Wait... What? You were in my head? Why didn't I notice it?, I ask confused.

"Because you are one of my children. You have a large contribution in saving our world. And you have found your inner strength that allows you to use your powers in any form. The other dragons will be very interested in that."

"I can't believe it."

"Well, in time you will. I will return to Orraikles."

"Wait-", I start but she is gone.

Suddenly I can feel the wind and the heat of the desert sun. My fellow dragons start moving. It's as the time would've been frozen. Everything is moving normally.

My fellow dragons aren't frozen anymore. My ice that was on them is gone. Did it melt that fast?

I transform into my true form. The enemy is defeated and I do not want to stay in this wicked form. Drevoks aren't even from this world.

Under all of my fellow dragons I spot Arexlan waking up. I run to him. I've missed him very much.  Arexlan sees me too and comes into my direction.

"What happened?", he asks me.

"Don't worry. The nightmare is over."
