The dragon's harem

CLING! A black glass orb fell from the top of the labyrinth, hitting the roof of a home.

“Hurry! They are bleeding to death,” A cleric shouted, pulling a large potion and pouring it on Merlin, “The situation is bad! Hurry!”

Two nuns rushed in as fast they could, drawing a cart behind them. “Who should we take?”

“Take Merlin, she’s in a much worse condition,” He turned and rushed toward Arad, “Come on, you’re a big man, stay with us,” He started healing him.

^Damn it. He has no pulse,^ The cleric growled. ^Spare the dead might save him.^ He lifted his hands, and they crackled with a blue spart. ^I heard you’re a tough one. Come on, don’t die from just your this.^

DING! DING!

The cleric stopped, looking back as he heard something. His eyes laid upon the black orb, seeing it rolling toward them. He started sweating, feeling the horrid curses boiling inside the unholy object.

“What’s this now?” He cried, standing and rushing toward the orb with a kick, “To the hells with you!”

SWOSH! He missed the ball by a hair strand. Was it bad luck, his fear, or hesitation? He didn’t know.

The orb rolled and touched Arad’s arm, melting into his body.

BA-dump! A loud beat came out of Arad’s chest, sounding like a war drum banged by a great mace. With it, blood splashed from his wound.

The cleric watched in horror as Arad’s veins started moving like worms, closing his wounds as his spine grew back and his organs extended into their place.

BA-dump! BA-dump! With Arad’s heart beating two more times, the power of it alone shook the ground, reverberating across the city.

The cleric started backing away, his eyes fixated on Arad’s throbbing chest. Nothing there sounded like a human but like those of giant monsters. Little did he know. That was a giant monster waking up.

Black tattoos covered Arad’s body for a moment with two pairs of eyes appearing on his scalp, spazzing and glaring around with malice.

The moment the cleric blinked, all those disappeared, and Arad looked like he was before, but without the wound on his torso.

“It healed?” The cleric gasped but immediately closed his mouth as he saw Arad’s arms twitch, his eyes opening up.

CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK!

The cleric’s head throbbed in pain, countless clicks crackling in his skull, dropping him to his knees. He couldn’t understand any but learned one thing. It’s coming from Arad, and he’s pissed.

He fell on his butt, holding his head and squinting. Soon, he reopened his eyes, but Arad wasn’t there.

“Sir…” He turned around, seeing Arad standing at the labyrinth’s side, lifting his hand to touch it.

“Don’t! You’ll get rejected!” He cried.

TAP! Arad touched the labyrinth, and a golden lightning burst jumped from its wall to his arm, trying to throw him back.

Arad stood there, touching the wall without a care as he tanked the rejection.

“You’ll die again!” The cleric screamed.

Arad lifted his second arm, grabbing the wall with both hands. “Give them back,” Arad growled, his voice far deeper than it was before, crackling like twisting steel.

CRACK! The ground around him cracked, and the cleric stared forward with a dumbfounded face, his teeth shaking, “Impossible,”

“RIGHT NOW!” Arad screamed, his roar echoing across the whole city, loud enough that it burst the cleric’s eardrums. Tens of purple magic circles appeared around Arad’s body and circulated the whole labyrinth.

CRACKLE! The labyrinth tilted a bit as Arad the building around Arad started to crack.

The cleric shat himself, seeing the labyrinth move, pulled out of it’s roots.

The people of the city cried, pointing at the labyrinth with fear, “What’s this loud roar?”

“Monster must’ve escaped the labyrinth. We’re doomed!” A man cried.

Arad swung his arms, “GET OUT!” He shouted, throwing the whole labyrinth into the sky assisted with gravity magic and some curses from Doma.

The people of the city gasped, seeing the whole labyrinth fly and crash between the mountains. “What was that? Can it fly now?” A woman cried.

Aella who was there looked up, “No, that’s Arad,” She mumbled, “He’s angry,”

Arad immediately teleported from the city to where the labyrinth landed.

“Shall you wish,” A flower grew behind him, “I would clamp the mountains on it,” Loci said, looking at Arad and the labyrinth. She would have already done that if the labyrinth wasn’t located in the middle of the city.

“Leave it, it’s mine,” Arad growled, transforming into his draconic form.

Thud! Thud! Arad approached the labyrinth, growling.

****

BAH! Ann gasped. Half of her body burned to a crisp as she barely managed to escape with her life. “That sorceress,” She growled, “To think she would do that,”

Despite how it looked, what Amber did was extremely simple. With her bloodline, she managed to create a spark hot enough to dissolve and ignite water in the air.

The spark generates heat to start the reaction. It dissolves water into hydrogen and oxygen. Those two elements burn and explode, releasing heat and merging back into the water, which gets dissolved once again with the generated heat, creating an endless cycle of explosions. .

Ann could feel her body shaking. The explosion only stopped because she used her authority on the maze, erasing all the water inside.

“I don’t care. I’m going to eat her soul.” Ann stood, walking around the burned wastelands, “Wait, I can’t feel it,” She gasped, only now noticing that Arad’s power was nowhere inside the labyrinth.

Doma being the menace she is, managed to slip out through a crack created by Amber’s blast.

“At least…” She looked where the blast started, “Where is it, that sorceress’s soul? It shouldn’t have gone far,”

Souls that die in a labyrinth are absorbed by it for energy. It’s how the place feeds.

“Where is it?” Ann extended her magic around, searching for Amber’s soul, “It should be here somewhere. Her magic is powerful, it would be…” She mumbled, but then the whole labyrinth shook.

“RIGHT NOW!” A loud voice boomed across the labyrinth.
