Morning came the dragons slumbering on their beds. Three were on watch duty. Two because of orders. The third is the one is Orion who wanted to spend time with his sons.
"So what were your hobbies my sons." Orion asked his sons. The first to speak was an eager young marine. "I like humming or smith work." Orion then looked to the other marine waiting for a response. "I like playing instruments or making soothing sounds." Once he heard what his sons said it made him smile. The marines who barely had memories of seeing their father. Had fewer of him smiling. But during their creation they knew and remembered seeing their father smile the most.
How they were able to see his smile was simple. His helmet was off for watch duty. "Do you want to know my hobbies my sons?" After hearing their father's question they both eagerly nodded their heads for marines. Orion seeing their giddiness for wanting to know more about their father. "My hobbies are simple, I like making or doing something that brings you joy. To know that at the end of my day I brought joy to my sons is more than enough to bring me happiness."
Hearing this the marines couldn't help but smile a bit. Hearing their father the person they looked up to. The one they wanted to make proud wanted them happy first. This brought a new image of what their father was to them. He was someone who wanted to find a way to make his family happy. After a while of talking with his sons. He made his way to the wall of orario. There he looked over the city. He look out to the world and wondered. "Where are you in this massive world? Are you making your way here already or still growing?" What Orion was looking for was freyas "odr" the one who will allow him to control freyas chaotic nature.
This person is a rabbit. A little white rabbit that will be his little brother. As Orion stared out into the darkness of the great of sky. Seeing the stars and wondering. 'What the hell do I do?' Then came his brother into his thoughts. "Whatever the fuck you want. I mean brother you have the power to do anything. If you travel to your sun right now you will become level 30 or even 50 in no time."
Orion just ask his question that bugged him. 'Then what brother. Everything is in reach yet it will be boring. We're is the challenge, I am not like Sam where I don't want a challenge.' Rick hearing this made a decision that will set Orion on the course he wants. "Ok their is something I will have planned out if you want to join in. It be a big battle and you will have to deal with some obstacles. Or I should say people I want you to help me in it. You and your sons, that is if your up for the challenge?" Orion hearing this immediately answered 'Oh HELL YEAH! When is it going to happen?'
Rick responded "5 years can I count on you to be ready by then?" Orion excited to finally have fun agreed but had to ask. 'Will I be able to have fun before all that?' Rick knew his brother would want to have fun before all that so sent a little surprise. "I gave Hestia something. Go wild in the new playground." After that Rick went silent. 'Huh guess he went to watch our brothers. Welp time to head home.' As Orion headed home the sun rose with it the rest of orario. The daily life of the adventurers didn't change and they went to get ready for their day. Then came a rumble a small but steady growing rumble. Slowly this rumble made its way to the dungeon. As soon as the adventurers saw what was causing it. They all backed down.
Heading for the dungeon was Orion followed by a 5 by 3 marching formation of his sons. With their black and gold armor and slight hints of red. To symbolize the flame they have became part of. The eternal harth of warmth and destruction. Before Orion and his sons marched any further. A group of adventurers got infront of him. To be specific Hermes and Loki's familia.
"Mr.Orion you have to stop." Hermes in his charm like tone tried to tell Orion. But all this did was just make Orion stop for a moment. After he saw who was in his way he just continued forward. "Mr. Orion I encouraged that you stop." Finn who thought that with all the familia here could slow him. Orion seeing their desperation stopped infront of Finn. His sons who are right he behide him stood at attention. "Speak captain Finn of the Loki familia. If your reason for stopping me is not good enough. I will make sure you are not able to do that again." Orions threat that came with no raising of the voice or screaming. Felt more terrifying to the entire group and Finn than if it were a scream.
The threat while quiet when dropped. Was loud and clear to all there. The threat and what Orion was gave clear danger signs to all their. Even the brash and impulsive bete wanted to step back. Because stood before them was no longer a human. But the dragon that wanted to feast. As Orion waited he caught a glimpse of Lili running to catch up. Orion then turned and looked at Lili. "Why are you here? I thought I told you to stay for this mission." Lili who wanted to come held no fear for the mighty dragon. Who to her was just plane old Orion. "I don't want to stay it will be boring. Besides, what am I supposed to do while your gone? Let me come and earn xp like everyone else." Orion looked at Lili and sighed.
"Fine you may come. However you will stay close to my side and that of your brothers. Understood?" Lili brightened like a star and beamed with excitement. "Yes i promise to stay close!" Orion just sighed and told the captain at the head of the formation. "Keep an eye on your sister please my son." Replying with out a second thought. "Yes father I will make sure she is safe." Looking down captain rex magnus. Looked over at Lili and ordered her. "You will march by my side so we are able to keep you safe." Lili nodded and headed right besides the captain.
Orion after that whole conversation was over turned back to the Loki familia captain. "That should have been enough time for you to move. So tell me boy why haven't you." Finn who gripped by a primal fear. Stood tall and answered without backing down. "Am sorry Mr.Orion but you simple can't. The people in the dungeon will die if another our break of monster come. The last time it was just you. We don't know what steps the dungeon will take to make sure you don't do that again. This time with more people we fear for the people inside the dungeon."
Orion looked at them and started to turn around. Hermes tensed up while the rest of Loki familia relaxed. Orion then turn back suddenly and as quick as lightning. With his arm lunched Finn across the road. Finn skipped on the ground like a stone across a lake. Once Finn got up all the Loki familia turned to Orion weapons ready. Something no one notice besides Lili who was shocked. Orions sons were still.
No reaction no flinching just steel focus. "I am here to clean a pest problem. That dungeon being the source. I do not care for the deaths of people I don't know. For none of them were force into the dungeon. All went in there knowing death was on the line. If you want me to feel sorry for them look somewhere else. Now if you have a better reason then worrying about lives that are not one you love. CLEAR THE ROAD."
Orion little speech force the others back. Lili shaking a little because of the way Orion acted. The Loki familia and Hermes with his hidden familia. All of them unconsciously took a step back. Hermes quickly secretly sent a signal to have his familia back up. Out of sight and range the Hermes familia retreated to a certain distance. Orion then made his way past the Loki familia. Riveria and the other members couldn't do anything. If they tried they would be squashed. A group of them might be able to handle Orion. But with his sons right behind him. Nothing they could do would make them win.
Finn got up from the ground bruised and battered. He looking at the floor he saw Orions feet as he pasted him. "Block my way again little one and next time, the only thing left will be your head." Orion and his sons made their way into the dungeon. Far away the freya familia with their goddess looked in curiosity.
The dragon is building his army. This platoon just the beginning.
The end:
Author here next chapter will be how Orion plans to get ready. Also you might wonder why he acted so differently near the end. It's simple he is a drama queen. He wanted to look cool/cruel to those he deams unworthy.
