[May Shivalkulan rise forth, brought back to its forr glory! Savior of Dark Elves!]
What exactly do you an by brought back to its forr glory? Did Shivalkulan fall in the past?
'Hard to believe...'
Ariel was still there, Her... or rather my house would never fall as long as we had our guardian dragon, a primordial being, Ariel herself. She was our power, more than Valus, Kulak, and Lanesha. One of the only seven in this universe. Grandmother...is a frightening being herself. Was it referring to sothing else... What could it be?
"The death of Shi...?"
The eldest daughter of Ariel, The supre of Death, and Kazikato's mother, my aunt. She was dead, or had been killed. Was that what it referred to? The fall of glory?
"It can't be that..."
I muttered under my breath, although that is most likely the case. Sothing doesn't feel right, My gut is telling that's not the case.
I was truly puzzled, if that was not what it ant, that what? How could shivalkulan fall in glory, or whatever it was? Why...?
"In the first place... How was a Supre even killed?"
Well, I had seen it happen a few tis, more than any being in this universe besides a supre I guess, Aranus had slain so personally. But that wasn't the point, Even Aranus failed to truly eradicate one, He couldn't make it so that they didn't exist in the other iterations, with or without their mories.
He couldn't cause a true death to all...
... Most of them. At least...he couldn't in the Nightmares I saw him 'kill' one. Disregarding that, the death of Shi took place at a mont in ti where Aranus wasn't even there! So how could a supre die?
I rembered that... I don't know who it was but that she died to an ambush by the World Serpent, Jormungander, But... I guess I was really naive back then, or ignorant, to have believed that bullshit.
Was it Lanesha? Or Kazikato? I can't seem to rember. Who...was it?
Letting out a sigh, I stopped trying to rember who it was and thought about the death of Shi more.
I refused to believe that she died due to an ambush. A dragon of death, from what I have seen, always has an army of beings with them, as obscure as they may be, they are a walking army, all in one being. Capable of summoning beings of the sa level, or even above them, if given ti. Well, I doubt anything is above Ariel. Regardless, Shi should be different.
Even if I don't count that, Shi is not alone. She has Shivalkulan. She as at a level where she knows when soone is thinking about them, or speaks their na or anything related to her in any way. Valus, Kulak, and Lanesha should be able to co to her aid at any mont.
So how? How would it be an ambush? I can't believe that her siblings didn't help, or even her mother! And her mother is in an entirely different class! Jormungander or whoever he is, that bastard shouldn't be able to take down the strongest dragon in the Shivalkulan house, second only to Ariel alone! In an ambush!
Perhaps the pride in my blood refused to believe it, but there had to be so truth to it, if not all!
"Therefore...it must not have been one. The world serpent must not have been the only one." But then, that is even more suspicious. The movent of a single supre is too big, so much so that almost all beings of the sa level, so even below, would feel it. Soone above it would definitely feel it! If multiple were involved, then it had to be known!
Ariel, as dotting and caring of a mother and grandmother she is, would definitely have interfered! Valus, Kulak, and Lanesha as well! Hell, as strong and close as the dragons are, they must have interfered as well.
So how did she die, when Aranus wasn't even born at that ti? Any other supre, I may have considered it...but how do you kill one that has control over death itself? It was the sa as asking...
'How do you kill a god of death?'
Maybe I am putting too much thought into this, But I really want to get into the bottom of it. Maybe having taken Ariel and Lanesha's ichor must have awakened sothing inside . A...revenge of sorts. It's bleak, but it exists.
"So... From what I know, The World Serpent, Jormungander, a supre being, had killed Shi, the Supre of death, in an ambush. That's not true at all. Jormungander must have had so help, but why didn't the other supre stop it. More importantly... Ariel? Why did she not stop it? Her eldest child had died, and she did nothing?
Not even get revenge? He heard Jormungander had gone into hiding...again from soone he can't rember. How was that darn snake still alive, after having made an enemy of
Shivalkulan?
Knowing Ariel's temper, she would have stopped at nothing until she made sure Jormungander regretted his very existence, his birth, and would beg for death.
But she hadn't... He hadn't seen a skeleton of a large snake in Ariel's realm. He didn't think his grandmother was rciful enough to simply kill him after having tortured him for a bit. He would personally torture soone like that for eternity. And Ariel was capable of it.
So why...didn't she?
Questions filled my mind, perhaps of sothing far, far above right now. Well, definitely above , but I had no answers. And that was perhaps the most infuriating thing.
To have so many questions, yet no answers. I wasn't the scholarly type, but if it bugged this much, how much would it bug soone like Sabrina or Maxwell? I would definitely pay a lot to see Sabrina's cute face contorted into a ntally agonizing pain like this, and I would kill to see Maxwell like that.
But alas, I don't think I'll ever get that opportunity. My eyes darted all around the place, from the start of the prayer to the end, trying to get a few clues. But I couldn't find anything, I stood up, and walked behind the stone where the prayer was written. I had caught a glimpse of writing here as well.
I found it as well, on one of the broken pieces of the statue of Valus, presumably.
I didn't need to translate this writing at all with my 'gift'. Why would I? It was...my mother
tongue I guess.
Dragon tongue.
