BXBX NOVEL Chapter 267 Encounter With The KANs
-- POV General --
It was the next morning, the first night in the Vampire Realm had passed without problem, offering a new day under the ground to the family far from Elysium. Away from the dark conflicts between humans and other races, away from the machiavellian plans of the Supreme and especially away from the war. In any case, this morning was going to be rather calm at least that's what they thought, because 3 hours had not even passed that already a new incident pointed the tip of its nose.
"In this case shows us !"
In an immense room that resembled a converted cave located in one of the walls of the Vampire Realm, the tension was at its peak. Tables were turned over, seats too, some even destroyed because of what had just happened shocking all who were watching. In this place, men and women with horns and wings on their backs were present, different clans but the same race... dragons.
All of them were in a circle, forming an arena like staring with fear and excitement at the people in the middle facing each other. On one side there was a man, the one who had shouted, very tall, muscular with wings as yellow as the sun and scales as bright as gold. His horns were of the same color, blond, like those behind him who belonged to the same race, the fire dragons.
There were six of them and they looked like Vikings or Pirates, in any case far from being as well dressed as the Priest Magnus standing before them. He was not alone because facing this group of aggressive dragons were also Freya, Gaya, Kira, Kalaa, June and May. The only fighters from Elysium were the ones who had been surrounded after the situation had drastically changed in a single second.
"Show us then if you are so full of yourself !!!"
The barbarian looking man in front had shouted again but he wasn't addressing the vampire he knew well but rather the one behind. His gray eyes were fixed on Gaya who was holding his gaze calmly without moving or showing any sign of aggression. As expected, the meeting between the newcomers and the dragons was taking place but what was unexpected was the welcome they received, especially the dragoness.
The purpose of this meeting was to establish an understanding or at least to introduce themselves out of respect and politeness but the atmosphere was far from it. For some reason that only they knew, they found themselves being aggressive with one of their fellow dragon beings without her even understanding why. As Gaya had said the day before, dragons were very respectful creatures but at this moment her statement was totally wrong.
Despite the situation, Freya showed no signs of anger, simply observing while hiding her power like the others for safety. This time she didn't want to interfere unless she had to, preferring to let her wife handle it because she was more than capable. June and May were in the back while Kalaa remained on her guard just like Kira who had a sneer on her face ready to use her fists.
"So ? You come here and say that you are firebenders as earth dragons and you think we will accept it ? Don't disrespect us, we are proud of what makes our clan and we will never believe that bullshit ! You may have mastered fire but it's only a pale copy of our element but go ahead and show us !!!"
The blonde haired dragon man screamed louder, sputtering, his gray eyes gradually turning red as he showed his fangs. The others behind were no less calm as they were just as excited as their leader in the face of those who didn't look intimidated at all. The Queen Dragon wanted to silence the group in order to discuss more peacefully, so she stepped forward under the panicked gaze of Magnus who was no longer in control.
"Fine, then so be it I will show you"
As she spoke these words, her crimson hair flared up, turning into flames of the same color, a brilliant dark red. At that moment, it was golden yellow flames that appeared on the man's forearms along with scales and claws. While it was not even noon, even if she was not yet in control of her element, Gaya was on the verge of proving her point, determined to make herself respected.
The next moment, a huge circle of light appeared at their feet, a giant rune with complex symbols creating an almost invisible mana barrier. After all, this was the specialty of vampires, separating the dragons of the other camps from the two groups that were now facing each other. Safe from whatever was about to happen inside, the others found themselves enjoying the blazing hot turn of events.

< A few minutes before >
It was morning, the day had just dawned and yet a group could already be seen walking quickly down a stone corridor. It was dark since it was underground but chandeliers emitted a light that seemed to dance on the gray walls. Magnus led the way followed by Queen Jade and those from Elysium who had left the children and Lia to sleep a little longer before their breakfast.
Early on, everyone had picked up the conversation about Freya's story where Gaya had left off the day before because of the Vampire Priest's fainting spell. Many things had been hard for him to believe, but the hope that the Empress could free Lady V was still thriving. But first, as was the rule in the Kingdom, all outsiders had to report to the other leaders of the clans in the Kingdom.
This meant the dragons present, for even though the vampires were more numerous, to ensure a good relationship, a sort of Council had been set up. In this way, the other leaders did not feel that they were under the orders of the Queen, although they had to respect her. So it was the three dragon leaders that Freya and the others had to greet before they could even walk the streets of the city.
"Well, so we will meet the leader of the fire dragon clan Klover the Magnificent, Aneyaris the Fierce leader of the water dragons and finally the last one, the proud leader of the lightning dragon clan, Nordin the Insatiable. It's simple, they're called "The KANs" because of the first letter of their name and to give you a short summary they're from the clans that have been living with the vampires for generations now"
"Pffffff~"
As Magnus finally gave the names of the three leaders, Kira still barefoot couldn't help but chuckle at the titles they had probably given themselves. Ignoring her reaction, he continued to walk straight ahead until he came upon a door with a rune on it. Infusing his mana by touching it with his hand, he opened it with ease under the curious and attentive eye of the Empress, who was writing down absolutely everything for future research.
"Let me speak and please your Majesty Gaya I would ask you to let me introduce you even if you are of the same race to...respect...the rules established...before"
Magnus had not finished his sentence when Freya had slipped between the dragoness and him making him pause in his explanation shivering under her gaze. As the silence settled, the door finished opening, bringing everyone out of the small tension that was slowly building. Turning their heads, the group finally discovered the cave from which emanated very powerful auras making the she-wolf vibrate with excitement awakening her maniac battle side.
Sketching a small sadistic grin with a desire to measure herself against the most powerful, Freya immediately erased it when her wife gave her a light nudge. So, the next second, the group entered this much brighter cave than the corridor that had brought them here. It was a huge place, all the decoration was in stone, really very simple giving this room the impression of being rather empty and plain.
"Priest Magnus, why have you gathered us together so early in the morning like this ?!?"
"Hey I hope it's worth it because if not I'm out of here !!"
"Me, if there is no banquet *yawn* I have trouble listening with an empty stomach I warn you...*chomp* yummy~"
Soon, three big voices echoed in the middle coming from the only ones who were more or less sitting on three of the five stone seats forming a large circle. The first voice was that of a blond man with gray eyes who looked like a pirate or even a Viking, surrounded by three women who looked as stupid as they were beautiful. It was of course Klover the Magnificent, leader of the fire dragons, recognizable by their golden hair of the same color as their wings.
The second voice was that of a woman, hair and eyes as blue as her wings, bearing scars like her right eye. She was sitting, or almost sitting, as she lay across her seat, sharpening her claws on the huge axe she could use with her muscles as big as a man's. It was Aneyaris the Fierce of the water dragons who had the particularity to have almost only women in her clan making her proud.
The last one was Nordin the Insatiable leader of the lightning clan who was as eccentric as the other two although he looked much younger. Lying upside down on his seat with his head down, he spoke while being busy devouring a huge piece of meat in one bite. Still barefoot like a certain fox girl, his hair was as silver and shiny as hers, a color enhanced by the very light green of his eyes.
Before Gaya's eyes, who was discovering for the first time dragons other than those of her own clan, the KANs that Magnus had mentioned were finally revealed. It was from them that the three biggest auras came, and they did not hide them at all, unlike the newcomers. Raising a lazy eye to the vampire at first without even noticing Queen Jade a little behind, Klover and Aneyaris suddenly straightened up.
"Wait a minute...a female earth dragon ?? How ??"
"I only know of one that survived even though I thought she was dead by now...it's getting very interesting all of a sudden hehehe~"
"Mmmh ?"
The three hadn't even given the long black haired vampire time to speak that they had already instinctively noticed the dragoness in the group. It had been enough to catch their attention, they who knew perfectly well who she was from her beautiful crimson hair. It was for the first time a crazy news, the Queen of Elysium provoking the same reaction in everyone who knew of her existence even without having met her.
After all, she had become famous in spite of herself as the last survivor of her clan, the one who disappeared before splitting the earth in two with a single roar. In an instant all eyes were on her who said nothing remembering Magnus' words, following them with respect. Gaya was also overcome by a strange feeling at the sight of the other dragons, torn between emotion, respect, joy and distrust.
"Gaya...mother of the Earth Dragons..."
"Finally a new opponent worthy of my muscles~"
"Oooh~?"
Klover, Aneyaris and Nordin meanwhile were interested for different reasons, one not seeing her arrival as something good, the other wondering if she would have the upper hand in a fight and the last just curious. The atmosphere had changed to become heavier as all the dragons of the three clans came closer all too happy to have a source of entertainment for once away from the usual boring meetings.
"Well it looks like I don't need to introduce her Majesty Gaya so that's fine, it will go faster that way. I've gathered you here because she came with..."
"Her Majesty ? What do you mean 'her majesty' ? Magnus explain yourself !"
"Huuuh ? That's right !"
Again, the Vampire Priest hadn't had time to finish that already he had just tickled the draconic pride in the leader of the fire and water clan. Her Majesty ? Her ? The one who had not been surrounded by any dragons for years, the one without a clan ? Obviously, they were missing much of the context behind the title of Queen, but they didn't care at all, seeing instead the respect Magnus had for Gaya that they didn't have.
Hearing this had caused a shock in their hearts that turned into jealousy, especially in the one called "the Magnificent". He had risen from his seat completely facing the group that had just arrived, forgetting the women whose presence he had appreciated a short time ago. Klover's growing hostility was palpable but yet neither Kira, nor Kalaa, nor June, nor May seemed impressed and even less Freya or Gaya.
Those of Elysium wondered if aggressiveness was not part of the customs of this Kingdom being for the second time in front of hot-blooded people. But since the Vampire Priest wanted to speak, no one spoke until he spoke again. He did not delay to do it, beginning by explaining the origin of the title of the dragoness enveniently the situation tilting the chief of the fire dragons for good.
"Her Majesty Gaya is the ruler of an Empire located in the neighboring country and she has not stolen this title since to this day she is the only dragon capable of mastering two elements, earth and fire"
At the same time, wanting to get straight to the point, Magnus had said what not to say definitely finishing off the one who was proud of the flames unique to his clan. In fact it was also an excuse to start the conflict having felt his position threatened for a short and not pleasant moment. The meeting did not start as planned and in front of the three who only swore by the force the dragoness was going to have to show herself worthy of it no matter her famous past.
