Chapter 13 - Chapter 13

Third Person

The day had arrived for everyone to storm the city, the shortest route also seemed to conveniently be the least populated part of Hells City. The people here gravitated more towards the west side of town, they were on the east -downwind.

Meliodas, Lilith and Black were in the middle of the platoon with troops in front of and behind them, ensuring they weren't surprise attacked from the front and rear.

As they moved, crouched down to make as likely noise as possible, they found it strange that there was no patrols moving, but they shook it off.

Even before Meliodas had arrived here in Hell, Lucifer didn't really give a damn about this side of town.

"Why would we patrol there, no one really goes there?" He'd asked

"Because then that means the demons can get away with practically anything." Lilith had argued.

"Not my problem." He'd dismissed and walked away from her.

Lilith shook off the memory and the platoon continued their pace, they were already at the castle.

The black and red palace towered above their tiny forms, it looked threatening.

Meliodas took notes on how it looked now, though he'd thought some changes were needed to improve the castle, such as a dragons perch, nest,cave?

Which would entail having the castle even bigger than it was now, or if Black enjoyed caves better, we could create a cave system for him,an opening big enough for him disguised as a roadway.

Meliodas put the thoughts of the castle aside for now.

Suddenly Black haulted, stopping the rear platoon in their tracks suddenly and then the rest stopped as they noticed.

Black's eyes were filled in black soulless orbs as he flared his nose.

"Mobi ui voga draushum tenpiswo." Black stated in a low growl,a plume of smoke exiting his nostrils and mouth as he spoke.

"What do you mean there's another dragon?!" Meliodas whisper yelled, surprise etching his features.

"Si keefum jacioniv, jaciv ui tenpiswo. persvek wer rilark,jaciv ui kosj though. shouldn't qe vin isludeh." Black spoke again, relaxing.

Meliodas sighed, relief flooding him, and he relaxed only slightly.

"Don't do that man, you made me think we were fucked." He countered.

"Sorry." Black apologized now in a tongue everyone could understand.

"When did you learn Draconian?" Lilith asked, Meliodas looked confused, to him Black hadn't spoke in another language.

"He was speaking his native tongue sir. Draconian." A soldier spoke, verifying Lilith spoke truth that he'd in fact, understood a whole different language.

They moved again, and as soon as they entered the castle, the front platoon moved to defend the three, the rear came to help.

They were waiting.

As expected. Meliodas thought.

Having the platoon split and us in the middle was a smart move.

As the platoon distracted and fought the soldiers of the castle, they made their way to the throne room.

They entered to find Lucifer sitting there, in the throne, a much smaller dragon curled around the throne.

Lucifer pet the beast and she purred, enjoying the touch of her master.

She too had the power to shift, she too had a taste of Lucifer's appendage, he enjoyed loving the dragon. Even though he had chosen the maid to bare him an heir, he liked having sex with the dragon.

She could take his demon form while she was in her dragon form. Though dragons had sex completely different, his demon enjoyed it.

She growled as she met eyes with Black.

"Si relekihl wux, wux zklaen nelithik." She said, baring her teeth as she growled, Black smirked and looked to Meliodas, who nodded his approval.

"Wux tepoha thric ulhyrr svaust wux tepoha filki relekihla;weakling." Black stated, taking off at a brisk run and jumping out of one of the many throne room windows, the female dragon going after him stopped short as she witnessed Black transforming.

His wings sprouted first, allowing him to get far enough away to fully transform, she finally took off from the window frame.

With the dragons now gone and preparing to fight, Lucifersmirked.

"You brought a Pseudodragon here to combat mine?" He laughed but his laugh stopped when he seen Meliodas and Lilith laughing with him.

"What's so funny?" He asked, irritated.

"Go look." Lilith said in between her giggles.

Lucifer decided to oblige her one last time and walked to the broken window where he seen Black in all his fully shifted, full sized glory.

Lucifer's face drained of color.

"As far as I know, that my friend is not a pseudodragon."Meliodas' smug voice came from behind him.

"Let us watch."

Black

As Black neared the area he'd need to be in to safely shift back to his colossal dragon form he landed and awaited the females arrival.

"Are you sure this is what you want to do, inept one." He said, looking out into the distance.

"Axun, pseudodragon, itrewic krathin ekess nelithik!" She roared, giving an aggressive chuff at the end.

Black began laughing.

"Is that what the 'master' told you?" He said, air quoting master.

His laughter stopped, and he continued.

"I can't even begin to describe my size to you, or my strength. Know that it's is not something of so puny and weak." He said, suddenly serious, the female seemed to have hesitated for only a second before growling.

"Ryork kagh slathalin ve jalyur!" She yelled aggressively.

"Suit yourself. You might wanna make room." Black said smugly, and then the rest of his dragon's form followed suit.

The female scrambled to get away from him as he seemed to get bigger and bigger, she took off to the sky and flew high, stopping when she thought it was enough, only to have to go higher.

Her fear spiked, this…

This was no pseudodragon.

This was a colossal dragon.

She knew of only one dragon that was this huge.

Fear struck her paralyzed as she stopped flying, only her wings seemed to move to keep her afloat, and she turned to find Black staring at her, and into her soul.

She whimpered in fear as Black growled menacingly, shaking the surrounding fifty mile radius.

It shook her to the core as she drained of her color, once a brown, she now looked like a ghost.

He blew smoke out at her to signal he was ready for her supposed fight, but according to draconian customs.

She'd have to die no matter what.

Fighting him?

She'd last maybe at the most of five seconds.

If she chose that she no longer wanted to fight him and surrender him to be the winner, he would have to kill her.

It was seen as traitorous if one challenged and then chose to back out just at the mere sight of their opponent.

If you did that to your opponent, even if it was friendly horseplay, how could the draconian people rely on you in battle.

She swallowed hard and descended to the ground, bowing to Black as he stood, towering over her weak form.

Black found himself angry and irritated that she would give up so easily but it also filled him with pride knowing that she knew her place.

Black simply turned toward the castle, his sight zeroing inon Lucifer -who was watching, pale faced and mouth agape in surprise and fear.

Black smiled internally and simply roared ferociously in his direction, his roar caused enemies and their ally's alike to cower to their knees and cover their ears.

The only ones who could bare to stand and take the roar without flinching?

Meliodas and Lilith, even Lucifer had to cover his ears, kneeling on one knee at the sheer force and powerfulness of his rage zeroed in on Lucifer, as he fell to the floor, Black finally stopped his roar, shaking out the remainder of his rage and focused back onto the female dragon who was reduced to a pile of shaking jelly at the sound of his roar.

He lowered himself and nudged her.

"Back to your family little one, you were taken advantage of. I'm sure your parents miss you so." The female glanced at him and nudged him in gratitude before she took off.

Black chuffed again.

I'm too damn soft. On the youngsters. He thought tohimself, the female, he could tell was only in her 20s.

Dragon parents stayed with their young for as long as possible, he wasn't exactly sure how Lucifer came across this draconian but, he was determined to find out.
