Chapter 49 - 48:Finally!

Raven’s voice was cold, the threat in it evident.

The man, Damien, realizing the seriousness of the situation finally relented..

"Alright. Whatever you say. How’s that failure of a nephew of mine?" He asked, voice dripping mockery and disdain.

"Father said he couldn’t even awaken the family’s bloodline? Didn’t expect anything more from a tainted child" he concluded his derogatory remarks..

"Damien.. one more word out of you then believe me that the old man’s agreement wouldn’t be able to save you" Raven was seething...

Any other time she’d have put this pompous snake in his place. But not now. She’d made an agreement with that man, an agreement she’d made to buy Dante time

"I can’t let my emotions get the best of me. Not now."..

"Whatever you say.." Damien scoffed..

"Tell me what it is you want Damien and be gone" raven asked.

"Are you really going to play dumb sister?" He asked, voice dripping mockery..

"I don’t understand what you’re talking about" Raven’s expression was plain, not a twitch in sight.

"The dragon. Ravena, I want the dragon that spawned in this backwater alley" Damien cut straight to the point.

He wasn’t a man known for his patience, most Draken men weren’t.

"Oh, is that what you’re talking about? Then I’m afraid you’ve wasted a trip. The dragon has been slain and confiscated by myself, you can leave if that’s all" she replied, voice flat..

"Hehehe.. Ravena, do you take me for a fool?"

"I thought I’d made that clear already?"

Damien’s face went ugly, gone was the fake smile, his face twisting at the pure disregard his sister was showing him..

"Look here woman. Not minding the fact that I don’t believe you’d stoop low enough to attack something so insignificant, but even if you did, if I demand, you’ll still hand it over" his voice was harsh..

"Oho? And why’s that you snake bastard" Raven wasn’t about to give an inch..

"Because.. You filthy husband killing whore, I’m still the patriarch of this family, not your oh so precious Regulus, ME! Now hand it over!".. his expression twisted into something vile as he flared at her..

Raven’s expression had gone frigid the moment he’d called her a

whore..

Her aura flared, the protective runes engraved on her office walls lighting up instantly, maintaining the room’s structural integrity..

"Patriarch you say? Why don’t I pay the main family a visit and we’ll test just how legitimate that claim of yours is..." her cold voice silenced his rage instantly..

Damien’s teeth gritted hard cracking sounds could be heard..

"You intend to stand against me even over this???" He asked, frustration coloring his entire mood...

He’d sent his people here in a false attempt at claiming a dragon, while he was just fishing for information about regulus’ child, yet his dumb sister was adamant about not giving him any face???

"This bitch!!!!!!!"

His anger was spiking...

"If that’s all you came here for, you’re free to return, and tell that spineless old fool that this is the last time I’ll tolerate any form of interference from you lot, he should stick to his side of the agreement" Raven dismissed them, already turning around, intending to leave, when.

"You’ll be singing a different tune when we become in-laws." Damien’s snide voice successfully halted her steps..

"What did you just say?" Raven asked, not turning around..

"Heh... you heard me right, father has decided to betrothe young Melissa to Darius, their union is bound to strengthen...."

Crack.....

He couldn’t finish that statement..

The avatar splitting into fragments as Raven’s aura came loose, obliterating the avatar completely...

"Father.!!!!"

Snap!!!

Waapp!!!!

The entire office became empty the moment Raven snapped her fingers..

"Heh..hehehehehehe... that foolish old man" Contrary to her mood, Raven laughed....

"He truly believes he has any say in my daughter’s life?" Her aura settled instantly..

"Heh... it seems age is finally catching up to the old fool... oh magnus Von Draken, how low will you continue to fall?" Her fading voice echoed within the empty office room ash she and Clarissa made their way out..

"Grow up fast little D... some people are getting too comfortable for their own good"

*************

Far away from Bright Sun City...

The clouds drifted lazily, their fluffiness inviting and comforting...

High above the drifting clouds, a cluster of land masses could be floating serenely..

The islands were connected by floating gold bridges.

The sight of magnificent flying beasts bringing this dreamlike fantasy to life..

It looked like a realm for immortal beings, those so far above that everything else could only be considered below them..

The Floating Isles...

On the central landmass, within an expansive gold mansion..

"RAVENAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!"

A thunderous roar broke out, scattering clouds and causing a quake throughout the entire floating landmass...

*********

Within an opulent throne room..

Damien Von Draken stood furiously, he’d just been disconnected from his avatar by that rude woman..

"Fucking bitch!!!!"

The room trembled as his fist slammed into a table, shattering it to splinters...

"Whore!!!!"

Another furious shattered the throne behind him..

"I’ll kill her, I’ll kill her, I’LL FUCKING KILL HER!!!"

The entire mansion trembled as a punch tore out the entire right side of the building, debris and rubble falling like rain..

"Father.." a soft voice snapped him to his senses..

Damien turned only to find his youngest sun frozen in fear and terror, his face devoid of color, body trembling like a leaf caught in a wind..

He knew, this wasn’t because of his earlier tantrum, No! This was because of her.

"Fucking piece of shit"

It took all he had not to go on another rampage...

"Hoooo...I’m fine, leave us" he dismissed the others.

"Yes, patriarch".

....

A silence settled between them as they recovered from their injuries...

"I can’t let it end like this father" Caelum spoke up soon after, his wounds having coded better..

"No, my son, it definitely won’t need here." Damien answered, his face like that of a vengeful darkness..

"So what are we going to do to get her back" Caelum asked, already imagining the day the made that arrogant woman pay..

"Heh.. no, my boy, you don’t get at Ravena The

Space Queen.

That’s booking a one way death to unexistence.."

Caelum looked at his father strangely.

Damien caught the look in his son’s eyes..

"Heh, trust me my son, you’ll like this method best"

"The tell me already father.."

"Hehe." Here Damien snickered..

"A little bird told me that little Dante, your cousin, plans to apply for

Aeternum,

wouldn’t it be very unfortunate if something were happen to him during this week?"

I asked smugly, face splitting in a spring smile...

Caelum mirrored his father’s smile, the two laughin at what was definitely a baggy throw..

*********

"Fianalyllllll!"

After all those hiccups and the troll chaos system just sitting there making things difficult, it was finally time to lock in properly..
