Breaking Point

The dark sky shines as lightning booms, rain splattering against the small roof of the home. A black scaled figure turns his head as a more purple humanoid grunts out in pain, going through the process of having children

With a clap of his hands, the clouds disperse and disappear. As his gentle eyes move back towards his mate, he sees them. Her groning turned to a light purring as she holds the bright gold and deep obsidian children

"I wonder what domain they'll be" The purple scaled figure giggles "I'm sure they'll be something along our lines Asterisk. Something of creation or destruction"

He gives her a nod, smiling lightly "Maybe they will Initus. But regardless they're our children and proud creatures of the ancients, whatever they will become, it'll be amazing" He cuddles up with her happily as they keep the two close

"What should we name them?" She asks softly "Why not Elesius and Solidus?"

  5 years later

The two children grow, the golden dragonborn Solidus and the obsidian black and grey dragonborn Elisus both growing to half their parents height within these 5 years. Like all children of their age, it was time. Time to go to the temple and find their domain. The power that could bring dragons to their knees

First up is Solidus, using his training to focus and send out his power. The obelisk shines and a golden glow emanates, a small figurine of himself forming "Impressive" A more human figure says, analyzing the glow and creation "Seems like your domain is pure creation" He smiles, Solidus jumping up and down in excitement

"Mom! Dad!" He rushes towards them, giving them a hug as he reaches them "Hear that? I'm like you mom!!" He says excitedly, his mother chucking lightly "That's amazing my dear, though you're a bit stronger then that. With time, you'll be even better then me" She boops his nose

The more timid elisus takes a deep breath and walks up into the temple, feeling very anxious about what her power may be. Her father walks to her side, gently rubbing her shoulder "Itll be alright, you got this!" He encourages

Starting to feel more confident thanks to her father, she takes the last few steps and focuses.

This was where her life was changed forever

The obelisk, the creation of the first and greatest god of the ancients, starts to disintegrate. The deep white marble turning a corrupted black before it disappears into nothing. The human, flinches, watching this with a look of horror

Not even the oldest gods of their clan could destroy this, even destruction born only destroyed what it the obelisk created "U-um" He stammers, looking at the child with a look of now fear.

She looks up at him, flinching as she sees his look "D-did I do something wrong?" He doesn't answer as he takes a step back, this corruption of his now spreading from the obelisk onto the ground. She turns and watches "U-u-um, I c-can't stop it" She says in a scared tone, looking at it progress

The human, finally brought out of his fear, slams the staff down, the light from it encasing the corruption. He was an ancient too, one with a chosen human form. "I am a protector god, you will be fine" He reassures, ignoring his own fear of the child. But, he was wrong

The darkness eats away at his magic, using it as a link to jump to him. All she can do is look in horror as his body disintegrates away into nothing, her power destroying him in seconds. She screams out, her voice quivering in fear of herself and fear of hurting her family

All they could do is look out in horror, his father only able to dash back to avoid joining the now dead priest. Watching the worst scene since their creation. Hearing his sisters shrill voice echo, Solidus forces his way out from his mother's grasp, running towards her

They yell at him to stop, but are unable to stop him, his magic protecting him from any spell they could stop him with. His arms wrap around his sister, his wings wrapping around her tightly as the corruption meets them

His golden magic surges as the blackness reaches them and with a flash, his magic starts crawling up the corruption, destroying it along with itself. While his sister cries into him and he holds her close, her parents can't help but think one thing "We've created a monster"
