Baste immediately went to the palace and announce that he will be going to the war and looked for the Emperor's safety.
"But the Emperor told us to stay still, there was no sign of-"
"A knight was found in the Healing Academy with major wounds that are made by the Amphiteres!" Baste exclaimed. "There is no time!" he shouted as the royal guard just looked at each other.
"We cannot grant that request unless the Emperor say so Baste." General Gave said as Baste glared at him.
"I am the Imperial Dragon! His majesty is in danger!" Baste explained as Gave just stared at him. "I already heard about that Knight from the highest priest. Don't tell me your going to believe that no place healer?" Gave said as Baste grabbed his uniform.
"I TOLD YOU THE EMPEROR-"
"The Emperor is okay..." Gave said. "He even sent a letter today." Gave said showing Baste the letter. 'No... Something is definitely off.' Baste said looking at the letter.
"That healer will be forced to execution." Gave said as Baste was about to draw his sword when Gave drop her deadly aura causing Baste to stop. "Did you dare to threat the royal guard of the celestial dragon Baste?" Gave asked as Baste went down on his knees as he started causing blood.
"Why the hell would you touch the healer that save a knight?" Baste asked. "Giving such a false information-"
"Didn't you know that the healers also studied the different types of wounds and scars from a person's body to identify the wound and on how to heal it with the help of the herbs?" Baste asked as his nose starts to bleed because of the aura that Gave scattered around him.
Gave stopped as he let go of Baste.
"She saw the knights scars that are made by the Amphiteres Wings." He started. "If we don't try to see how's the war going and if the emperor will die because of our ignorance then I will be the one who will kill you by my own hands." Baste said as he was serious about it.
"If that young healer is wrong and if the Emperor Veron is safe then I will be the one beheading her." Gave said as Baste wipe the blood off his nose. "You have my permission to leave and take a royal guard with you." Gave said as Baste smirked.
"I will make you pay for this." Baste murmured as Gave just glared at him. In the war of the Amphipteres, Gabriel was having a hard time dealing with both sirens and dragons at the same time.
He did not expect that the Sirens will aid the amphipteres and it is such a big trouble for him since he's loosing lots of knights in the process.
"Emperor Veron I think it is much better if we forfeit the fight with the Amphipteres. The Sirens are making the knights delusional causing our major downfall in this war." One of the knights suggested.
Gabriel didn't see the Sirens coming. The Amphipteres together with the sirens sounds like a delusional win.
"We cannot risk your safety your majesty. This is not just for us but also for your safety." He added.
"Okay, Lead the way..." Gabriel agreed when the knights starts hearing a siren humming.
"Hmmm...."
"Hmmm..."
"Ahhhhahhhh.."
"Cover your ears-" Gabriel was stunned when he turned around and the knights are all in their knees dead.
"Fvck it!" He cursed as he starts running away but the Sirens were fast to catch him as he lost consciousness.
Baste went on with the search but find no Emperor to see. The place where they set war was just full of bloodshed and knights body yet the emperor is nowhere to be found.
"The Emperor is Dead."
"Shut it! As long as there's no body found the emperor is alive! Search the place!" Baste shouted.
"How can you even make sure that the Emperor is alive with the Imperial Dragon Baste? This sea blood represents the defeat of the great Veron." the knights said as Baste looked at the red sea.
The sea itself which should be blue and light turned into bloody red.
"Emperor Veron is alive," he said to himself as he looked at the stars. 'Thats right, The emperor said it to himself.' he thought as he remembered what Gabriel said to him before he leave.
"You see that orange star lighting in the sky? that's the union of I and my wife as we shared the Celestial spirit. If I die my wife will know an these flames will turn off."

The vivid memory helped Baste think properly about their situation. "I have no other choice but to trust her." Baste thought as he immediately teleported to the academy.
"Greetings Imperial Dragon Baste, It was nice seeing you again in our Academy-" The Highest Priest Bless was cut off by Baste.
"Where is that girl who saved the knights life?"
he asked as Bless looked pissed but hide her true nature with a smile.
"Oh my I'm afraid the girl your searching for is in detain to our punishment room as she's been acting weirdly after you left." Bless explained.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"Well she starts saying that a boy name Gab is in danger as she need to go save him. She threw a tantrum to avoid major punishment because she lost her sanity, I guess the God's are mad about-"
Baste cannot hide his death aura as Bless looked worried.
"I'll ask you one more time, Where is that girl Bless?"
'How dare the Imperial Dragon looked at me like a mere commoner!' Bless thought as she guided Baste to the dungeon.
A sight to see in his eyes was nothing to be seen in the battle field. The room was filled with the smell of blood, The room was covered with Red's blood that it almost took out her life.
"Is this what a holy priest do to her future healers?" Baste asked as he knew that Veron will wreak this place if he saw such scene.
The Emperor's wife was tied in a cross as blood is all over the room from whipping.
Red slowly open her eyes when she heard person talking and saw Baste.
"Please the siren caught Gabriel. Help him..." she pleaded.
"See thats why I told you she should be punished dear lord. She's saying nonsense stuffs, I the highest priest is responsible for my healers mislapses." Bless said as Baste didn't hear a word from her and break the chain that's been holding Red in the cross.
Bless was too stunned to speak.
"Y-You! I swear the emperor will hear from this!" bless shouted as Baste smirked.
"Indeed the Emperor will hear from this Highest Priest Bless. Heal her." he said as he put down Red in front of her.
"What?"
"I said heal her."
"I- I ...." Baste looked at how the highest priest hesitate on healing Red.
"Hey, We don't have enough time." Red said as he used her last strength to build a penguin companion.
"This will lead you to where Gab is, The penguin will help you with the sirens. Tell Gab I did my best." she added as she collapse.
"Hey wake up-" The penguin touched Baste's hand and shake as he made a portal.
"Bless, When I come back make sure this girl is back to its shape." Baste said as he jump on the black hole together with the penguin.
'Just who the hell is this girl to even received my power?!' Bless cursed Red in the name of God.
In a black hole, The Emperor was stuck and cannot get out even if he starts shouting for help.
"hihihihi..."
"hihihihi..."
"hihihihi..."
"Who's there?!" he shouted as the Penguin appeared out of nowhere. "Gab! Gab! Gab!" the penguin starts shouting as it echos the whole place.
"Where the hell did this penguin came from?" he asked himself as he stopped when smell the same aroma he smell with red.
"Did Red sent you?!" he said in joy.
"Gab?" the penguin replied as the emperor smiled.
"EMPEROR VERON! PENGUIN! WHERE ARE YOU?!" Baste shouted in the mid air as Veron smirked knowing That Baste already entered the hole. It means he will know where to exit this unending black hole.
"I cannot get out, I suffered huge stab from the Sirens fin." I murmured.
"I need to heal in order to follow Baste's voice." I added as the Penguin looked at him.
"Gab! Gab!" The penguin said as he touched Gabriel as it starts turning into bubble as a blue flame was covered all around Gabriel's body yet it didn't hurt. In fact it is healing his injury.
"I see, I guess she learned a lot in that academy. Summoning a fairy to track my location and heal me." Gabriel said smirking.
"I owe this one to you Redence..." He said as the Penguin disappears and Gabriel fully gain his strength back and transform to his dragon form.
