Chapter 365: Infernis II: Failure
(Drakken's POV)
"To feel the warmth of your body...." I said as I held Maegelle from behind, "It brings me great joy...."
"Drakken...." She said as she grabbed my arm, "Those five days were more than enough, I deserve a break...."
"Of course you do." I told her with a chuckle, "My beautiful Maegelle.....I want you to rest as much as you deserve. You are very beautiful, that is all..."
She looked back at me, "You think so?"
I gently held her chin, "Of course." I said, "This view is a pleasant one; that of your face, your eyes, and your beauty."
"Hm." She said with a smile, "Thank you."
I pulled away, "I do hope you have great news." I said with a smirk, "I know that I have absolute certainty when it comes to conceiving a child."
"W-Well..." She blushed, "I....I think....yes...."
"That is wonderful." I said, "I cannot wait to see how beautiful you get when our child grows inside you."
She looked down as I pulled her along to the chair, "Yes..." She said, "This is surreal....having a second child with you. Feels like just yesterday that I confirmed that I was with child....with Vaella....."
She sat down as I gently patted her cheek and looked up at me.
"Time does fly, doesn't it?" I told her, "Our daughter is still but a child. Soon, she will grow up to be a beautiful woman, like you."
"But.....even so...." She said, "To think I would conceive her sibling after such...sweaty....and very lustful....intimacy....."
"Heh." I smirked, "That was nothing."
"Oh, I believe you." She said with a sigh, "I know there are crazier stories about your sexual escapades. Saera jokingly called you the God of Sex...and sometimes I think that is what you truly are."
"Ah." I said, "Come on....I'm not that horny.....am I?"
She raised an eyebrow, "The moment you decided to bed Mya all those years ago, you became uncontrollable." She said, "I mean, you created the Tea so I can handle you....."
"Hm. I guess that makes sense." I nodded
"I've heard some crazy stories about your sexual experiences from both Mya and Daranne....." She said as she rubbed her neck, "I cannot comprehend how you could even do that...."
"When you live as long as I have....especially in my world, you're bound to do some crazy things." I told her while I shrugged, "I mean.....what did they tell you? Was it the Storm Goddess Ammaria? That we fucked above the clouds? I won't lie, I want to try that with you. I mean-"
"No!" She scowled, "No. I don't want that."
[a/n: The Draconic Beast known as Ammaria is named after a Female Sorcerer from Drakken's world who was worshiped as a Goddess of Storm. She was his lover for some time prior to breaking up.]
"Tch...." I said, "Give me a break, a guy just wants to enjoy his time with his wife...."
"Drakken, you are a sexual deviant. I mean, what else have you bedded besides women?" She asked me
"Elves.....Vampires.....Traversed Women from this land called Japan....I think....I don't know." I shrugged, "There was that Dragontaur, which hey....I am a bit appalled by their existence....but I couldn't resist...well, obviously Demons too.....I haven't done a Guardian....nor a Giantess.....but the Archdragon Selysse was my biggest achievement."
"And.....those two women? Athena and Artemis?" She asked me
"They're human." I said, "Well....it's complicated, the two of them....."
"Hm." she said, "I really wish I knew what any of those words meant....but you're still an enigma, Drakken. I know almost nothing about your past....I know that you didn't have a Father and that your Mother was dead when you were born....and obviously, your brothers....but other than that, nothing....."
"I've lived an eventful life." I said, "Sometimes.....it is best not to think about it.....the truth is, Maegelle....I am who I am because of the choices I have made....but....well....."
"Some say that I was already born a Monster."

(Third Person POV)
[City of Decalogue, Infernis, A Long, Long, Time Ago]
Drakken stood over the rubble of a building as he had an enraged look on his face, "Dammit all!!!!" He shouted, "Fuckkk!!!!"
His shout created a shockwave that ripped the ground apart as cracks appeared all over, making everything unstable.
He stomped on the rubble below him, shattering it instantly as he slowly fell down to the ground. In an instant, however, the entire pile of rubble was disintegrated by a blast of energy that created another shockwave.
"FUCK!!!" Drakken shouted as another shockwave dispersed the massive dustcloud created, "This is a fucking disgrace!!!"
Above him, Riktor was descending down, his bat-wings flapping slowly as he had his arms crossed, "Hm....." He said, "Take a chill pill, Drakken...."
He looked at his body, seeing a massive cut on Drakken's body that did not seem to heal, bleeding constantly.
"They fucking got away, those filthy Demons!!!" Drakken shouted, "And where the fuck is Sol'Tyr?! Did he really reintegrate with me?! After that stupid failure?!"
Riktor slowly landed on the ground next to him, his wings furling inwards as he tilted his head, "Man, you're sour after losing that fight?" He asked with a curious look, "Such a shame."
"I didn't lose." Drakken glared at him, "That fight was not finished, so I did not lose. But I did fail in my mission. They got away with the Bloodstone!!!!"
"Oh." Riktor said, "Shame."
"Yea, you're quite apathetic about the situation." Drakken said as he panted slightly, "After all, you don't care."
"Why would Viktor want the Bloodstone anyways?" Riktor shrugged, "I just don't know."
"Does it matter?" Drakken scowled, "Whatever he wanted it for, we were going to gain a bonus amount of power from it regardless."
"Ah, yes yes." Riktor said, "Well, they got away and left the city in ruins. And that Tryke fellow, he did a number on you. That wound is nasty."
Drakken spat on the ground, "This is nothing." He said, "It doesn't even hurt."
"Yet....you're not regenerating." Riktor said, "Obviously, it must have done some damage."
"That Tryke piece of shit." Drakken began to pace back and forth, "Or whatever his name is. He mentioned that the Bloodstone was for Valkren's daughter.....dammit all!!"
"Oof, that sucks." Riktor said, "From what I hear, Valkren has been spoiling his children quite a bit. I hear the snake girl has been demanding a tribe in the south for sacrifices. I wonder what that is about."
"Yea, I don't care." Drakken said, "We have to do something about this."
"Not much we can do now." Riktor told him, "We have to retreat back to the base and discuss things with Viktor."
"Tch....!" Drakken said, "Fuck this...."
"You've been awfully stuck-up these past few weeks." Riktor said, "Is it Athena? Don't tell me you got blown off by that princess again. And her sister, Artemis, oooh boy, that one is a pain in the ass too. Listen, if you were me-"
"Shut up!!!" Drakken snapped, "I'm outta here, find your own fucking way back to the Manor!!!"
Drakken was shrouded in pure black ether as his body shifted into a massive winged figure, launching himself into the air and shooting away with rapid speeds, a deafening roar filling the air as the air itself shook.
Riktor was simply left there, a bit taken aback, "Oh man." He said, "He is not in a good mood....I mean.....why is he such an asshole today? Telling me off like that...Oh, well.... That's what one gets when trying to help out an edgy cunt like him....."
He looked over to see a couple of people crawling out of the collapsed buildings that were destroyed by the fighting.
"Hm..." He licked his lips, "How about a snack before I go....."
"That would be nice..."
