[IC] Path of enlightenment and love (Mike the Bloodwolf and BeautifulSnow) (1x1 RP)

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

Felwinter smiled at his grandson and picked him up to start playing with him, After all, He had not often been around to play with his own children so he wanted to make up time by spending what time he could with Derik. He also spend more time with Hilda and Belfire as well, helping them out. A soft voice would whisper in Marina mind though she would never find who it belonged to "The journey will be long and dangerous, honestly I would rather not have my son life be on the line if Elsbeth ever goes on her journey"

(want to skip a few years to when Derek is 6 years old?)

[BeautifulSnow]

Marina felt weird in her head when she got that message, she knew that she would feel even more weird if she didn't listen to it. ''Don't you think Derik is a little small for journeys? Your journey will bring you to great heights but also very dark deeps...'' Marina said. ''True.. But, there is at least on kingdom I wanna go to wíth Derik'' Elsbeth said. ''And that is the one of the Fertar family'' she then said. Bellfire nodded. ''Then go on your journey, return every time and stay for a while... And of course take the Fertar Kingdom as last'' he said. Elsbeth nodded. ''I think, that that is a great idea'' she said.

5 years later

Elsbeth had been back from all her journeys for quite some time now and she stood at Jania's grave. ''I don't know why dear Queen Jania.. But something... a feeling... tells me that something great is gonna happen soon'' she said. She had felt lonely the past five years and was about to go on her last journey, to the kingdom that once was owned by the Fertar Family.

''Princess?'' Diana asked, she held the hand of Derik, which already was six years old and had blond hair like the sun and eyes big, and blue. His eyes where exact the same as his mother's, and everyone that looked at the little boy couldn't help themselves than just to feel like they were seen right into their souls and everything wrong was forgiven. ''Yes Diana, oh look.. There is my handsome prince'' she said with a smile. Derik walked to her. ''Mommy? Are we going to the other kingdom?'' he asked, he was a smart boy. ''Yes honey, did you pack your bag?'' Elsbeth asked. ''Yes, even asked the foreman for our horses'' Derik said with a cute smile. ''Such a great thinker, you are fantastic'' she said and then look his free hand, together they walked back to the castle.

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

(kinda alter the story there but I can cope)

Felwinter sat on a mat meditating before his ears flicked up as he heard Elsbeth enter the throne room and he smiled at her as he said "Now, that's the sort of princess I like to see ruling this kingdom, Someone who's world weary and understand the world better". He then looked up and spotted Diva in her dragon form hanging from the celling hidden from Elsbeth sight since she was not sure that seeing a dragon the moment she entered would be great for her. Diva watched them in silence, 5 years had passed since Raganrok defeat and this new timeline had started. It was time to see if Elsbeth felt she could not truly live without Mike and his non-serious outlook on life.

[BeautifulSnow]

''Grand father'' Elsbeth said with a smile. ''It's so great to see you again'' she said. ''Hello Baba'' Derik said and bowed for his grandfather. Even though he knew very well that his grand father's name wasn't Baba, he still said it since it felt normal for the boy. Elsbeth smiled. Derik walked around and then sat down on the little throne his grandmother and father had placed down for him. ''Look mother! I am king'' he said. Elsbeth smiled. ''You will be a great king when your grown up'' she said and then faced her grandfather again.

''I am glad that you say that grand father, but I can't rule without a man.. But, not any royal man I met, isn't the one I am willing to spend my days with'' she said. ''They are all so serious.. and so worried about money... I need someone that is ready to die for his people.. Someone.. That can be like a real father for Derik..'' she said. She now sat down in front of her grand father, legs crossed and her hands cupped and laid on her knees.

''Plus.. I keep feeling like a piece of me is missing.. And not the way I feel when Derik isn't near me.. It's just.. so weird that I can't remember who his father is... Or where he is'' she now whispered, not willing to let Derik know she didn't know about his father anymore. ''And it's not that, that drives me crazy... I just want the man to know he has a great son.. Soon, probably sooner than wanted.. Derik is gonna ask who is father is.. If he didn't do so already... And I can't tell him a lie'' she said.

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

Felwinter listen to his granddaughter problem before he spoke to her in whisper "Well, answer me this much Elsbeth. Do you feel like you can't truly live without this man in your life, Derik will be asking soon. Maybe even on the way to the Fertar homeland. You have to be ready for the questions but at the same time you need to prepare"

[BeautifulSnow]

Elsbeth looked deep in her grandfathers eyes, when he asked the question she shook her head. ''No Grandfather.. I don't think I can live without this man... I feel deeply that I gave him.. me.. because I love him'' she said and when he told her about Derik starting to ask soon, she nodded. ''I know, and I hope that I can answer his questions the way he likes to hear it.. But I will not ever lie to him'' she said, suddenly she felt a tear roll over her cheek.

Derik walked up to her and jumped on her back, yet when he saw the tear, he stopped his attempt to play with his mother and looked at her. ''Mother, are you alright?'' he asked and took his silk tissue. With that, he took away the tear. ''Look.. It isn't absorbed'' he whispered and showed his mother the tear. ''That must be a very special tear'' she said. Even though they all didn't know about the dragon changing, Marina and Elsbeth still had their magic.

Elsbeth took the tissue with care and blew slowly against the tear, it became a tiny little gem and when she took it of she showed Derik it. ''This.. will glow when it is time to show what was hidden in the tear'' she said and laid it in his hand. ''Be careful with it'' she said and closed his hand over the gem. ''But it is yours'' he said. ''I know honey, but I think that is will belong to you'' she said. Derik nodded and then opened his hand, he took the gem and folded it into his silk tissue.

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

When Elsbeth admitted she could not live without Mike, time froze all around them but Elsbeth would still find herself able to move and do things. "See Diva I told you she would miss him" Felwinter said before he took on his dragon and Diva appeared from the celling, her scales sparkled and glowed, it was like you could see a million things flashing though her scales before she spoke and her voice was soft and cute. "Indeed you did Sensi, but as you know it require more then just admittance"

[BeautifulSnow]

''Wait.. What is happening?'' Elsbeth asked and got up from the ground. She looked at Derik who was not moving anymore. ''What did you do with my...'' she asked but didn't finish her line as she suddenly saw her grandfather turn into a dragon. ''Dragons? Real.. Dragons?'' she asked and walked up to her grandfather. ''Grandfather?'' she asked. She listened to what they said. ''What.. Mike?'' she asked and suddenly it was like a lock was opened and her memory's came back.

''Mike Fertar.. is Derik's father... He.. He survived past the normal age of dragons for his revenge on his family and beloved Jania... We.. We met and fell in love.. We were the king and queen for several years... and Derik was born...'' she said. She now walked away from her grandfather. ''But.. After we defeated Uncle Ragnarok.. I first woke up... Derik wasn't their... and Mom and Dad were not married... I did know about everything but they all thought that I was crazy... And then... someone... someone came to me with a choice...'' she whispered. Elsbeth's head started to hurt. ''Mike? Mike.. Mike where is he?'' she asked after several times repeating his name, in whisper but also louder

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

Diva thought about it before she paced around Elsbeth and said "Well, Technically speaking Mike is dead. In both the original timeline and this current one, In the original one, after the death of Thea and Diablo. Ragnarok was far more powerful then Mike could handle and in order to protect the town and his family, Mike sacrificed his life to unleash a powerful attack which destroy Ragnarok physical body but allow his spirt to be trap by Starector. I believe Mike last words were that he only wished he could of seen Derik grow up". She stop talking to let it sink in, before she then told her "Mike died normally in this timeline since Ragnarok never took over Ant's body so when he reappeared in this timeline, he was significantly weaker then he was. But you had no Mike, and because of the weaker Ragnarok Thea and Vincent, who is the descendent of Diablo and Diana brother did not lose their life"

[BeautifulSnow]

''If he died.. in our original time line doing such a brave thing for his family and kingdom.. Then why did you start this alter time line?'' Elsbeth asked. ''I would be hurt yes.. But I knew who Mike was, Who Derik's father is and I could tell Derik about his father without having to be scared that he would not understand it. Derik has been coming to me after every journey for hugs.. And when I returned form the Eagle kingdom, he asked me why the town people's children also have a man hugging them and he doesn't. If you had just kept the normal time line, I would have been sad and felt empty for a while... But I would have known why'' she said. ''I understand that what you all did was because you love me and you wanna save me the hurt.. But isn't it true that broken hearts, bad choices and feeling hurt makes you exactly that what you need to be?'' Elsbeth asked. ''I love Mike, with all my heart and if I could choose now, I would ask to return to before the fight, so I could tell him one last time that I love him dearly and that what ever would happen, our son will know him'' Elsbeth said and looked at both Diva and her grandfather.

Elsbeth walked a little around the room, thinking after she said that. ''I ask you... No.. I want you to restore the time line.. I want to go back to that original one.. Just before the big fight.. And I wanna be able to tell Mike that I love him, that I care for him and that I want him to know that he will never be unknown'' she said. ''And I don't care if it not right to do.. You as the goddess of Destiny have made a big mistake.. And if you look deep in your heart, you know that'' she said.

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

When Elsbeth started making demands, Diva shushed her and said "It was not noble or brave, That attack destroyed half of the town as well. This caused the town to hate Mike and your entire family as well. I alter the timeline because I don't want to see this kingdom crumble and become a ruin".
Diva then stop and said "I know your heart and I can allow you to get what you want, but you must play my game to get what you want". She then smirked and said "Time to dream dragon princess", with that she tap a claw on Elsbeth head and Elsbeth would find herself in a deep dream world where Diva appeared once more, though she was in her human form before she smirked and said "This is destiny realm, This is where you can change Destiny if you wish"

[BeautifulSnow]

''And you think that I would not be able to restore that?'' Elsbeth asked before she was taken to the realm of destiny. She looked around. ''And how do I know which destiny will bring me to a live with Mike and Derik or.. At least a live with Derik and me knowing Mike as my lover and husband and as Derik's father'' she said.

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

"Well, we'll have to see what you choose" Diva said being as Cryptic as she could before she walked onto a invisible podium and the darkness vanished to revile a world with a sparkling sky and sparking trees, there was a golden blue river flowing though to center of the world. Diva then faced Elsbeth and said "This is how this works, I have summoned the 7 statues which you must travel to. You will learn more about Mike and his life as you see each of them. When you reach the final 3, you will see the results of the final battle. Plus your choices you make will affect not only Mike's final outcome, but Ant's and Ragnarok's as well"

[BeautifulSnow]

''And with those three destiny's in my hands I also hold the destiny from my own kingdom, my family, my son and myself in my hands... Right?'' Elsbeth said and looked at her. ''Well.. Show me the first portal that I'll have to go trough...'' she said and sighed. When Diva pointed out at the first portal Elsbeth looked at it. ''It looks like the entrance of the Eagle kingdom'' she said and looked at Diva. The goddess didn't say a word and Elsbeth took a deep breath and then stepped trough the portal.

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

"Just one last point Elsbeth" Diva said as she stop the young girl walking though the portal. "As you enter each of these portals, you will attract the attention of Shadows. I would advise keeping your wits about you because these creature can affectively ruin any chance of a perfect timeline. But take down the leader and the rest will vanish" Diva said as Elsbeth would have a sword appear in her hand.
Soon though Elsbeth would find herself in a small court with 5 podiums and then 5 glowing gems. She would then hear the voice of her grandfather in her head, "Elsbeth, this will be quick considering I can't help you here. Those 5 glowing gems on the podiums represent a choice of 5 guards to take with you. The purple gem represents Sashia Fertar, Mike's younger sister and the true owner of the sword that Thea now has, The greenish blue gem is Jarred Fertar, Mike's father and a Leviathan changer. He created all the swords that the sibling had as well as the techniques that the people in Draconia use nowadays, the Golden blue gem is Mike Fertar, I pretty much have nothing to say that you don't know however you can't use him or Ant as you Guard due to there timelie being unknown until the end of your journey here, The greenish Red gem is Ant and the final gem, which is the golden yellow one, is Mimi Rose The mother of Mike, Ant and Sashia. She was a firce defender of her children but had a very gentle heart" Felwinter voice told her before he added "Because of how alike the two of you are, I would say Sashia would be your better choice, She can help you fight the shadows as well" His voice then vanished as the portal reappeared between the two center Podiums this would take her to the eagle staute and the first choice.

[BeautifulSnow]

Elsbeth entered her first portal, the one from Sashia and looked around. ''The Eagle kingdom?'' she asked herself and looked around. It was different than last time she had been there and when she looked at herself, she saw that she wasn't wearing her pants with a half skirt and top without sleeves anymore but a long dress that she used to wear when she wasn't on a journey. She did a few steps forward and the portal disappeared. ''Okay, no going back...'' she said and then started to walk further toward the big castle.

It was soon that she was detected by some eagle warriors and they landed in front of her. ''Who is the one in front of me, rushing so fast to the castle of our great king Caspian and queen Deirdre?'' the guard said. Elsbeth was a bit surprised but when she heard the names she knew a little bit more of the time she was in. Those where the new parents from Anne! Elsbeth thought of something, speaking the truth was going to be different because she wasn't born yet but lying could cause big trouble. ''I am future queen of Draconia, Elsbeth Dragonclaw'' she said. The guards looked at her. ''And why are you here? Are you traveling with Princess Sashia Fertar?'' he asked. ''No.. But I do need to see her'' Elsbeth said and the eagles looked at each other and then gave her passage to the castle.

Inside the castle, Elsbeth looked around. ''Welcome Princess Elsbeth'' Queen Deirdre said. ''Thank you my queen'' Elsbeth said and bowed down. ''What can we do for you?'' she asked. ''I am in a search for Sashia Fertar, I need to speak with her'' she said. ''Well, she is about to leave to go back to her own kingdom'' King Caspian said. ''Thank you sir, please excuse me and accept my apologies for disturbing your rest'' she said. ''It is alright princess'' the queen spoke and Elsbeth left to find Sashia.

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

Elsbeth would soon hear the sounds of a beautiful flute which would eventually lead her to a garden where in the centre near a fountain, was a young golden blonde girl with a Azure flute and she was wearing a kinda of royal light armour. But what would be most shocking was that all around her were the many different birds of the Eagle kingdom including a very rare large bird known as a Roc. The girl was dancing as she plyed the flute.

[BeautifulSnow]

Elsbeth heard the flute and followed the music, to find there all kind of birds and princess Sashia dancing in between them. She listened to the princess and felt happiness that the princess had not left yet. When Sashia stopped the flute playing she clapped softly. ''That was wonderful'' Elsbeth said. Sashia looked up. ''Oh, thank you princess!'' she said. ''Your welcome.. Wait, how do you know that I am a princess?'' Elsbeth asked. ''Your tiara'' Sashia said. Elsbeth held on her head and giggled. ''Oh.. Yeah, I thought I had got rid of that'' she said. ''No, you didn't.. So, how can I help you?'' Sashia asked.

Elsbeth asked about this, she sure felt a connection with this girl. They really were almost the same, but what Sashia did with a flute, Elsbeth did on a harp. ''I am on a special mission, you could say.. And I think.. I know for sure that I am gonna need your help..'' she said. ''A special mission?'' Sashia asked. ''Yes.. It is hard to explain without making you run for your life probably but.. I am on a mission for Diva'' she said. Sashia blinked. ''The goddess of destiny?'' she asked, whispering.

Elsbeth nodded and at that moment, shadow like creatures started to surround them. Some even took over a bird and Sashia and Elsbeth soon got in the middle of some angry and possessed birds. ''Oh god..'' Elsbeth said. ''Don't hurt the birds.. That will make the King and Queen hate you..'' she said. ''We must find the leader Sashia'' Elsbeth spoke and took a hold on the sword that she had hung on her belt before entering this world and suddenly she was wearing her chest armor and pants with iron boots again. Sashia, still wearing a dress, summonded her own swords. ''Okay.. That probably is the Roc.. But we can not kill them'' she said. Elsbeth blocked at that moment the first attack. ''Will they also not try to kill us?'' Elsbeth asked. Sashia grinned. ''Probably not'' she said.

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

At Destiny Temple:

Diva eyes flashed as she felt the presence of the Shadows, She was actually shocked "Now that's interesting, The shadows never normally spawn so quickly unless ... well Elsbeth is a special kinda girl after all. I should help her" Diva thought before she closed her eyes and a Dragon mark would appear on Elsbeth hand (think Cynder face from Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon but all four of her horns are pointing in different directions). "Elsbeth this is Diva, Remember that spell you used against Ragnarok in the original timeline. Use it here to spilt the shadows from the bird so they can escape and be careful. You can normally pick out the Shadow leader by looking for it golden eyes but sometimes you have to defeat its generals to make it appear. This is normally two shadows, one with Silver eyes and one with Bronze eyes. The bronze is the weakest. Also make sure to give Sashia the Purple gem that will allow her to become a Fercoron which is old Draconia for Guard of Destiny. She will then obtain all the memories I have and know how to work this realm correctly after all, You should ensure that no one sees you at all otherwise you alter the timelime already"

In the first Memory:

The large Roc Shadow roared at the two girl as a bronze eyed Shadow took on the form of an Eagle, The silver eyed and Golden eyed shadows had still not appeared though unknown to the two girls, the Roc was actually only the silver shadow but you would not see that until the bronze shadow had been defeated

[BeautifulSnow]

Elsbeth looked at her hand, saw the mark but felt no pain. Then she heard Diva's voice and listened. ''Thanks Diva'' she whispered. ''Oh.. And that already happened, something with politely showing who is entering the kingdom to the king and queen'' she whispered. She then looked at Sashia. ''Sashia.. Get behind me, I am gonna cast a spell this will take away the shadows from the birds so they can flee.. The birds I mean, we must search for shadows with Bronze, Silver and Gold eyes.. Those are the leaders'' she said and Sashia nodded.

Elsbeth started up her spell and when she casted it, she blew it over all the birds. Almost like she was blowing fairydust. It worked and the shadows left the body's of the birds. ''Sashia, tell them to leave'' Elsbeth said and Sashia played on her flute. Elsbeth then saw something happen to the shadows, they hated the music as it sounded light, lovely and was filled with love. ''Sashia? Please.. Keep playing'' Elsbeth said and Sashia looked at the shadows while playing. She nodded and kept playing. The birds left, and Elsbeth started to slay some shadows. She had slayed five normal once and then got eye in eye with the bronze one. ''I am not afraid of you'' she said and casted a new spell, she burned the shadow and then split it in two and then once more so it laid on the ground in four pieces. Then Elsbeth looked around and saw the silver eyed, close to Sashia. ''Sashia!!!'' she called out. The princess turned around and suddenly had a sword with special shield in her hand. ''It was hidden in the flute'' Elsbeth whispered. Sashia smiled some and looked at the sword like she saw it for the first time. Elsbeth smiled and then looked around. ''Where could the gold eye be?'' she asked. ''The roc is the Silver eyed..'' Sashia said. Elsbeth nodded and tried to remember what her mother always had told her.
