The Quest of the Last Silver Dragon
Once upon a time, in a distant realm nestled within the crags of fractured mountains and strewn amidst the wild beauty of untamed forests, lay the kingdom of Mirabilis. This kingdom was renowned throughout the land for its lore of dragons—the magnificent beasts of wisdom and might that ruled the skies and inspired awe and respect in all who beheld them. The tale I unfold today is a tribute to the courage of the youngest silver dragon, Astral, and his quest for survival.
Astral, the last of the Silver Dragons, woke up in the cradle of the stark mountains that had always played host to his ancestors. The Silver Dragons were the custodians of peace in Mirabilis. However, they were now on the verge of extinction, due to the incessant wars waged by the cruel Black Dragon, Obsidian. The Black Dragons were intent on extending their reign over the whole realm, coercing the other beings into submission. The Silver Dragons confronted their tyranny, but gradually succumbed to the brutal violence propagated by Obsidian.
Astral, acutely aware of his responsibility to safeguard Mirabilis, embarked on the arduous quest to find the Oracle of Flames—a mythical creature known to possess the power to put an end to Obsidian's reign. With an overwhelming sense of determination, he journeyed across the rugged terrains, against the raging winds and the relentless downpour, carrying the hopes of the entire kingdom.
His journey led him to the mystical Labyrinth of Echoes. Guarded by Ghouls that could mimic one's deepest fears, Astral had to face his terrors- the death of his kin, failure, and the conquest of Obsidian. Showing immense courage, he pressed on, determined to not let his ancestors' sacrifices go in vain.
Successfully, Astral treaded through the labyrinth, arriving at the ancient Habitat of Flames. As the Oracle of Flames revealed itself, it posed a challenge to Astral. He had to either relinquish his last breath, thereby succumbing to extinction, or he must confront his mortal enemy in a battle of life and death. Struck with the enormity of the situation, Astral chose to face his enemy.
Evading the treacherous Labyrinth of Echoes, Astral returned to his motherland. In the halls of the once majestic Silver Dragon’s castle, now reduced to ruins, Astral stood against Obsidian in the ultimate showdown. A battle of brains over brawn, Astral exploited the Black Dragon's blind arrogance, entrapping him in a vortex of his icy dragon-breath, converting the sadistic beast to a stone statue.
With Obsidian's reign toppled, the kingdom heaved a sigh of relief. The victory of Astral was celebrated, as songs of his courage echoed under the twilight skies. His sheer will and determination were heralded as the rebirth of peace for Mirabilis.
With Astral’s return, hope was kindled once more in the hearts of everyone in Mirabilis. The Silver Dragon stood as a symbol of resilience and bravery, a testimonial to the undying spirit of Mirabilis. His story was narrated for generations, inspiring others to value and fight for peace. For he was Astral, the Last Silver Dragon, the protector of Mirabilis, the beacon of hope.
