I Received System to Become Dragonborn

Erend, Adrien, Billy, and Saeldir rode in silence as the majestic silhouette of the Elf Palace emerged on the horizon. Its pristine white walls gleamed in the midday sun. The sight filled them with a mix of relief and urgency, knowing they were almost at their destination.

Their horses, having returned to them a few days earlier, galloped with renewed vigor, sensing the familiar territory and the end of their long journey.

They had opted not to use the teleportation device, a deliberate choice driven by the need to observe the anomalies plaguing the lands on their way back. What they had found was deeply concerning.

Fields that once flourished with vibrant flora now lay barren, the earth cracked and lifeless. Villages they passed were eerily quiet, their inhabitants missing or hiding in fear.

Strange, foreboding signs marked their path—ominous symbols burned into trees, unnatural storm clouds that never seemed to dissipate, and whispers of creatures lurking just beyond sight.

As they approached the palace gates, Erend exchanged a grim look with his companions. The evidence of the Great Calamity's encroachment was undeniable, and they knew their findings would demand immediate attention from King Gulben and all of the palace's residents.

The palace guards, recognizing the four of them, quickly opened the gates, allowing them to pass without delay. Their horses' hooves clattered on the polished stone, echoing through the city as they dismounted and made their way towards the king's chamber.

The palace interior was as grand and serene as ever, but a subtle tension permeated the air. Servants moved swiftly, their faces etched with worry, and courtiers whispered in hushed tones.

The usual elegance and tranquility of the Elf Palace felt overshadowed by the impending threat that everyone could sense but few dared to voice.

Reaching the large, intricately carved doors of King Gulben's chamber, Saeldir took the lead, pushing them open and stepping inside. Erend, Adrien, and Billy followed closely, their expressions resolute.

King Gulben looked up from a map spread across his ornate desk, his face lighting up with a mix of relief and concern as he saw his trusted Archmage, the human warriors, and the Dragonborn.

He stood, his regal presence commanding the room. "Saeldir, Erend, Adrien, Billy. I am glad to see you all safe. What news do you bring?"

Saeldir bowed slightly before speaking, his tone grave. "Your Majesty, our journey has confirmed our worst fears. The anomalies we have observed are a clear sign that the Great Calamity is advancing. The lands are suffering, and the people are in danger."

Erend stepped forward, his voice steady but urgent. "We saw fields turned to wasteland, human villages abandoned, and strange, malevolent forces at play."

King Gulben's expression hardened, the weight of their words sinking in. He gestured for them to approach the map on his desk.

"Show me where you encountered these anomalies. We must mobilize our forces immediately. We need to investigate it."

The group gathered around the map, pointing out the locations and discussing their findings in detail.

"Before that, your Majesty. I must give you the weapons that we had forged."

In another faraway places, the air was thick with an eerie silence, disturbed only by the occasional rustling of leaves and the distant cries of creatures that thrived in the shadows.

The Daemon of Calamity, the old enemy of the Elves, lurked within his dark fortress, a sprawling structure carved into the side of a jagged mountain.

The fortress, shrouded in perpetual twilight, was a place of dread and power. Its halls echoed with whispers of dark Magic.

At its heart, the Daemon of Calamity, a being of immense and terrible power, sat on a throne of blackened bone and twisted iron.

The Daemon's crimson eyes narrowed as he gazed out from the highest tower, observing the unnatural flashes of red and black streaking across the sky. These ominous lights, like veins of blood and shadow, signaled a force even he could not ignore. His clawed hand tightened around the armrest of his throne, a rare expression of fear crossing his otherwise implacable visage.

" The Dark Requiem," he murmured, his voice a deep, resonant growl. "It comes for us all."

In another distant land, the Ogre Kingdom was similarly uneasy. The Ogres had always thrived on chaos and conflict.

Their capital, a sprawling city of stone and iron, was a testament to their indomitable will and relentless ferocity.

But even here, in the heart of their might, anxiety gripped the populace. From the high walls of their fortress city the Ogres looked up at the sky, their usually defiant faces showing signs of unease.

The red and black flashes that tore through the heavens were unlike anything they had ever seen. But he knew that it is a sign of an unknown doom.

In the grand hall of the Ogre King, the air was thick with tension. The king, a towering figure of muscle and scarred flesh, stood before his gathered chieftains, his expression grim.

"The sky speaks of great danger," he rumbled, his voice echoing through the cavernous hall. "The Crimson Ruin approaches, and it does not care for our strength or our wars. It will consume us all if we do not act."

The chieftains, fierce warriors each, exchanged uneasy glances. They were unaccustomed to fear, but the ominous signs in the sky were impossible to ignore.

The Ogre King clenched his massive fists.

"We must prepare," he declared, his voice brooking no argument. "For the Crimson Ruin will bring us devastation like we never faced before."

Across these disparate lands, the ancient enemies of the Elves—both the Daemon of Calamity and the Ogre Kingdom—found themselves in the shared sense of impending doom. Though they lived in different places and harbored ancient hatreds, the red and black flashes in the sky filled them all with a fear and anxiety they could not shake.

The forces of darkness and chaos began to stir, the world braced itself for a confrontation that would transcend old enmities and force even the most bitter of foes to reckon with the true extent of the Great Calamity.
