Chapter 10: Mother and Son Part 2: Reunion
(David:)
A very loud scream of anguish could be heard everywhere in the Megadome. Everywhere.
David, Risa, Theron and Lucy heard it. It was of someone in pain. Risa and Theron knew who's voice that is.
"She's here." Risa said with a solemn expression.
David asked. "Who's here?"
"Your mother. The queen. And she thinks you're dead." Theron said. "Fighting should start soon."
He couldn't be anymore right because a few seconds later. The room shook with the sound of an explosion. David stumbles a little.
He exclaims. "Damn it. We need to stop this."
"Good luck with that. Zephrina is doing what she said. She's keeping her promise. If anything were to happen you, they're would be war." Theron replied.
"Besides," Risa continued with a sad expression. "She's not in her mind. She's in grieving."
Lucy started to tear up. "We need to help her. It's so sad."
"Yeah, but what can we do? How can we help her?" David asked.
Risa was the one that answered.
"We need to get you to her. You're her son. You should be able to help her."
"But she doesn't know that he changed." Theron said with a solemn expression.
He's right. She doesn't know that I have transformed. Heck, she doesn't even know I'm her son. But she's grieving because she thinks I'm dead. I won't allow her to suffer. Making up his mind he walks towards the door. Theron exclaims.
"Where are you going David?"
"I'm going to help her."
"Are you insane? She doesn't know who you are. She may think you an enemy."
"I don't care. She's my mother and I will help her."
Then he rushes out of the room.
Theron facepalms. "Ugh he's nuts. But he's right. Let's help him."
Lucy just laughs. "That's understatement considering how long we know him."
"Ha ha ha. You're right Lucy." Theron laughed.
Risa just smiled. "He certainly has grown up."
"Theron smiled as well. "He certainly has."
The trio rushed out after him.
(Zephrina:)
Zephrina flew around in a circle high above near the ceiling as the fight down below rages. She didn't care about the fight. She didn't care about the human. The only thing she care about was lost to her. The only thing she loved is gone. She may be a queen of an empire. But in her opinion, she lost everything. Pain. So much emotion pain. Pain that threaten to consume her. And all she can say is one word. One word she thought about for a long time. One word that was she truly cared about.
"Orion......Orion.......Orion......Orion.....Orion"
"My lovely child......My sweet son.....my heart."
Cry of anguish again.
(David:)
David and the other bust out of the hallway dashed up the steps. The Megadome is a war zone. Flames everywhere. People fighting. An explosion was caused when a truck was destroyed. The soldiers were fight these weird warriors. They looked tough and fearsome. They look similar to Theron, wearing black armor, but some the armor is mixed in with other colors like blue, red, white.
"It's the elites. The best of the best of the military caste. When compared to the other soldiers, they are far stronger. They're just as strong as the Royal guard." Theron said as they looked out at the battle. Then they looked up. At the ceiling and flying in a circle slowly, was Zephyrina.
"She's beautiful." Lucy said in awe.
Lucy was right. Zephrina looked beautiful. Her face was like his. Bluish. Her wings look time worn but still strong. Her armor was up. With navy blue scales. A rapier hung limp in her side. She could've looked like his sister if she wasn't her mother. Beautiful.
Another mournful cry came from her. Close by, another sound was heard. A roar. On a platform above them was a large dragon fighting robotic suits. The robots were torn apart as the dragon bit into its flanks. And grab the other part with its claws. Then, yanking it's head, it torn the robotic suit in half. Blood was poring from within the torn suit. The dragon threw away the the pieces of the metal suit. What happen next was interesting.
It turn back into a regular Dragonid wearing golden armor. His hair was white and his scales were grey. He was buffed up. And he had a long tail with dual axe blades attached. He looked fierce and intelligent. Theron looked shocked.
"That's General Windrum."
"Who's Windrum?" David asked.
"General Windrum is the commander and chief of the Elites. He serves faithfully to Queen Zephrina. They were close friend. He even introduced your father to her. But also, he's the only one who can actually turn into a dragon."
David grabbed his spiky chin. "Maybe he can help us. You say he's faithful to Mom. Maybe we can get him to call off the soldiers so I can fly up to help her."
Theron shook his head and scoffs. "He'll never listen to us. He's faithful, remember? Besides he won't even believe who you are."
"What if I can prove it?"
"What do you mean by prove it?" He asked with a sense of humor.
"I can't tell him my father's name."
He just laughed. "As if you even know it." His eyes grew wide. "Wait, you know it?"
"How can you have heard of it when I haven't even told you yet?" Risa asked. "I was gonna tell you later, but forgot."
"I know. It's Bragdrein." That's my father's name." Both Risa's and Theron's jaws dropped.
Risa stuttered. "H-h-how d-did you know that?"
He answered. "During the transformation. A voice in my head told me many things. It told me how he died. And more."
"A voice?" She murmured.
"I think it called itself the Spirit of Draconos."
Their eyes grew wide, and again, their jaws dropped.
"T-t-t-h-he Spirit of Draconos?" Theron stuttered.
"Yes." He replied.
"What did you just say?!!" A deep voice from behind asked. Then they heard a loud thump when a figure appeared behind them.
"General Windrum." Theron said while bowing.
He ignored him and continue staring David.
"I asked what did you say, boy." Windlum said with a stern tone.
Risa stepped forward. "General Windrum. Calm down."
He looked at her. "Risa. Mind your own business." Then he turn back towards David. "Now answer me." But Rise got in between them.
"Back off Windrum. Leave David alone."
He sneered. "And if I don't, what will you do?"
She took out her sword. "Then I'll fight you. I have great respect for you and I know how faithful to the queen you are, but I been tasked to protect him. I won't let you hurt him."
"You been tasked to protect him? You should have been protecting Orion. Do you know how much pain she's in because of your failure to protect him? Well, do ya?"
"I never failed. I'm protecting him right now."
"No you're not. He's dead. He was ki--" his eyes grew wide. "What did you say? You're protecting him right now?"
He looked at me. "Yes. General Windrum. I am Orion. While on earth, I was given the name David. I used to have red eyes and red hair and my skin was like a human. But during the transformation a voice spoke to me, telling me everything. That my father died protecting my mother when she was pregnant with me. That my father's name was Bragdrein. It told me more. And to answer that question, the voice in my head told me that it was called the Spirit of Dragonos."
To see someone who can turn into a dragon with a dropped jaw was priceless.
"What?" He asked with a shocked face. He looked at Risa. "Is he right? Is he really Orion?
She responded. "Yes. I never told him who his father is or how he died. I was puzzled at first, but when he said the the spirit of Dragonos spoke to him, I believed him, mainly because why he was brought here. Because of that. You know what I mean."
His facial expression eased. He looked at him. "I believe you now. I'm sorry. It's just that, I was upset as well. I cared about you as well. Partially because I'm you seygren."
"What's a seygren?" He asked, puzzled.
Risa responded. "A seygren is the Dragonid version of a godparent for humans.
"Yes. I'm your seygren. I'm happy you're still alive." He said as walked up and hugged David. He backed off and turned to Risa.
"Why didn't you say anything?" He asked her
I was nervous because I didn't know how to explain his transformation. I never ever saw the Cocoon of Dragon flames change color. It was red orange, then it turned blue. When I spoke to the queen, I was nervous and she caught onto the nervousness. Then I told her of the attack. I was gonna say he survived, but I never got the chance because she hung up. And then this happen. General, you have to stop this please."
He closed his eyes and opened them. "I agree with you. I'll tell the men to stand down." He then turns Back to David. "But you need to go help your mother. She's suffering grief."
David turns around and walks to the edge. "I know. I will. You stop the fight."
David summons his wings and he takes off and flew towards the ceiling and towards his mother.
(Zephyrina:)
"Orion.....Orion......Orion.....sweet child....lovely child..... My son....
She stopped for a second when she heard a voice. A whisper.
"What is that?" She muttered.
The voice got louder. She looked around and didn't see anything.
Meanwhile on the ground and amongst the battlefield, elite soldiers look to the ceiling and see a blue figure flying towards the queen. Then they see General Windrum flying from place to place yelling to the elites to stand down. The elites stood down and looked up at the ceiling as the blue figure flew it's way to the queen.
The voice is getting louder and clearer. Her heart fluttered as she caught on the word.
"Mother!!!"
She looked down and she saw a figure flying towards her. Calling out mother.
"Can it be him?" She thought. "Is he alive? Is it really him?"
"Mother!!!!! It's me! It's Orion!!! Your son."
The figure got close enough to see him. Her heart grew excited. It was a male. His skin was blue, like hers. Beautiful wings flapping towards her. Same color hair. Black. It turned red when he turned human. So did his eyes. But she knew his eyes were blue and his was black. It's him. It's really him. It's her son.
"Orion!!!!!!!!!!!!"
She flew towards him, tears pouring down her cheeks. But these were tears of joy.
"Orion! Orion! Orion!!!"
"Mother. Mother!"
They slowed as they approached. Then they embraced each other in a long hug.
She sobbed in joy. " Orion. You're alive. I thought you were dead. I thought I lost you."
"I'm alright mother. I was always alright. When Risa contacted you, she was nervous because she didn't know how to explain my transformation."
"But she said you was attacked by serpentine soldiers."
"I was attacked by the serpentine soldiers. But I survived with the help of Theron and my friends. We were running when were caught in an ambush. Risa saved us. She was gonna tell you that when you hung up. I'm sorry I caused you worry mother. But I'm fine. I'm alive.
She smiled and the joyful tears came flooding again.
"I love you Orion. You know that right? I left you here so you can be protected. I'm so sorry I left."
He hugged her more. "I know mother. I know."
The elites were stunned. They were also happy for their queen.
At long last, his mother reunited with her son. If only for a little while. Still, she was happy.
Damn. This was a long one. Now how's that to sum up the 2 part chapter? Don't for get to vote and comment.
