Looking towards the flying object that cast a shadow onto the Colosseum the Dragon king clenched his fists tightly in anger. His fist was shaking at the sight of his castle getting further and further away. "Those bastards, so this is how they're going to take back their treasures. Tsk, smart, but not smart enough."

"Tachichi! Hurry up, take to the airs and take me to my damn Castle!" The Dragon King shouted loudly, his voice echoing through the Colosseum, reaching the ears of everyone here whose eyes widened with surprise and shock at what they just heard.

The races looked to one another trying to confirm which one did it, most of them thought that the dwarves were most likely the culprits due to their advanced creations. Some of which, including machines that fly through the air without the use of magic.

Tachichi, the Dragon King's Dragon spread its wings wide, covering all the participants in its shadow. Moving its wings down at a fast speed the dirt picked up and a torrent of wind was created in the Colosseum as Tachichi flew up.

The Dragon King leapt from his balcony, grabbing onto the saddle on Tachichi's back and harnessing in. When he made it above the Colosseum he gulped, truly surprised that someone would actually steal his entire castle rather than just the treasures. His eyes wandered towards where the castle was originally, a figure was flying towards him, one he was very much familiar with.

"Hello brother, care to explain how the entire castle ended up being stolen?" Akiri asked with a furious voice, his anger seethed through his words. They were targeted towards Akira, who was currently on his own Dragon.

It was roughly 5-metres-long, its scales were a metallic black, they scraped against each other producing an ear churning noise. Its wings were thin but had blades across the spine. The dragon's eyes were sharp as it stared towards Tachichi, it snorted with disdain due to Tachichi being weaker than it. Although only slightly, it was still something it would boast about.

"How do you think brother? I got my ass handed to me on a golden platter, my subordinates were all knocked out in an instant while he immobilised me. That's how the castle ended up being stolen," Akira responded in an arrogant manner. That was the only way he was able to talk to his brother who was so prideful with his strength.

"What about all the treasures? Were they stolen along with the castle?" Akiri asked with a frown at the knowledge of his brother and his subordinates losing to someone. Although prideful with his strength, he knew he was no match for his brother, nor the subordinates that work under him.

"Don't fret brother. It seems the one which stolen the castle didn't want us to lose our strength, so he allowed us to live while giving us our important treasures. Granted, he took all the other race's treasures and he demanded some dragon eggs as well as the dance manual," Akira explained as he raised his hand in a gesture to tell Akiri to relax.

Akiri felt as though he had an extreme headache coming along. "Oh brother, that castle is also a representative of our strength. The impenetrable walls which our ancestor created and the grand splendour of the castle were created to showcase our might and power. They aren't something that's easily replaced, we have to get it back."

Akira brushed Akiri off as he waved his hand through the air in a gesture telling him to go. "Do it yourself, I already got my ass handed to me without him breaking a sweat. But I suppose you'll probably think you'll have a different outcome since you're the Dragon King. So, go ahead, be my guest, try to get the castle back."

"Tsk, fine, I'll do it myself." The Dragon King couldn't be bothered dealing with his brother anymore and commanded Tachichi to follow after the castle. Fortunately, it was going at a rather steady but slow pace as it drifted through the sky. Allowing the Dragon King to catch up.

Lachlan was currently at the back of the castle, he had one gravity stone in his hand as he looked towards the Dragon King and his Dragon. He was planning on making his move here, but that might be rather disrespectful. Not the part of making his move, but completely decimating the Dragon King in battle above the city.

However, the Dragon King decided to make his move without a care for anyone that might be underneath the castle. Tachichi raised its head high, inhaling a mouthful of air as it radiated an intense head. Aiming downwards a golden flame pierced through the skies, flying directly towards Lachlan like a spear.

Lachlan shrugged his shoulders. 'Oh well, since you want to do it here, I suppose there's no stopping it.' Raising his hand with the stone he gave a quick command. The stone disappeared and the flames were immediately dispersed as the stone pierced through it.

The Dragon's eyes widened with shock when it felt a sudden and powerful forced smash against its chin. The force was too powerful for it the resist, its body arched as its head flew backwards, dragging the rest of the body with. The Dragon King was shocked by the sudden event.

"Tachichi! What the hell are you doing? You're supposed to be getting the damn castle back!" Akira shouted loudly at his dragon as fury built up in his body. He looked towards what he assumed was half breed standing on the edge of the castle grounds, a grin across Lachlan's face as he looked down on them.

Tachichi snorted angrily at the Dragon King, twisting its body the Dragon King was forcefully removed from Tachichi's back before getting slammed into the ground. Tachichi was annoyed at its master for not asking about its condition, it had been thoroughly injured from that weird attack. It felt as though its throat had almost been crushed, yet its master was still ordering it to go after the attacker.

"Tachichi! What the hell are you doing? Why are you attack me?" Akira shouted angrily as he threw a punch into Tachichi's stomach. Tachichi squinted from the pain before spinning its body, slamming Akira with its wings and throwing him to the ground.

Tachichi then descended onto the ground, its tail raised high before slamming down heavily onto the Dragon King. Akira felt as though he was going to spurt blood from anger, first, his castle was stolen, then his brother wouldn't help, and now his very own dragon decided to go against him.

"Tachichi, that's enough!' Akiri came down to protect his younger brother. Akiri's dragon flew down and pinned the tail onto the ground before grumbling towards Tachichi. Tachichi roared back in a deep and low voice before turning away and sitting down, facing the Dragon King.

Akiri turned to his brother who was currently in a state of shock as his eyes were widened, staring at the clear blue sky. "So, do you understand now brother? That's the reason I got my ass so easily whooped, and for someone who is no stronger than me, you were bound to the same fate."

"Tsk, I hate you," Akira mumbled under his breath as he turned his head to the side, avoiding all eye contact with Akiri and his dragon as he crossed his arms, pouting in annoyance when he saw his castle drifting away from him.

Akiri chuckled loudly as he placed his hands on his hips. "And I love you too brother."

Back where the castle was originally, Drate was just standing there motionless as though her spirit had left her body. The crown, currently in her right hand as her eyes were focused on the fleeting figure of a floating castle. She felt as though she's had a long day and has seen some things that really don't make any sense to her.

'How on earth am I supposed to report this?' This asked herself. Her mission was to participate in the raid and inform her elders of any changes. Except, how is she supposed to explain how the entire Dragon King's castle lifted off the ground and floated away.

"Oh well, at least I have the crown back, I'm probably going to be rewarded quite handsomely. Granted, I don't see what they're supposed to reward the queen of the Demon Kingdom but oh well, hopefully, my husband isn't going to be so abnormal," Drate muttered beneath her breath.

That's right. Drate was the current queen of the Demon Kingdom, and the one chosen from the trials will become the new king of the kingdom. However, how exactly was she supposed to get married and crown a king when they don't have a crown. Not to mention she's heard many stories about the Dragon Kingdom, so she decided to come check it out.

And that's also the main reason as to why she isn't able to join Lachlan on his journey. She can't exactly just ditch her kingdom, she'll go down as the worst queen in history if she does that, not to mention without at least leaving an heir to the throne. Her family, the royal family would go ballistic in their attempts to find out.

'Welp, hopefully you consider my deal and visit the Demon Continent one day' Drate told herself before shrugging her shoulders and walking off.

Back on the island, Lachlan had summoned his four tames who were all glaring at him angrily. They were all annoyed that Lachlan didn't summon them to help, Catastrophe especially who was seething at the thought of not being back to have a match with the Dragon King and his Dragon.

'Aha, I just happened to forget, and I was in the moment, but I had the gravity stones which I used so I decided not to summon you all because I had things under control' Lachlan explained swiftly in a messy sentence as his tames got closer and closer to his face.

'But father, we were going to all team together, we were going to summon our lightning while Aaron was going to amplify its power. That way, we could have easily one-shot the dragon' Disaster explained in his still slightly childish voice, making it rather funny despite him being annoyed.

'Yeah, we should have fought him above the Colosseum, really decimated him in front of his citizens and the representatives of the other races' Catastrophe explained arrogantly as he frothed at the thought of battling such a powerful opponent.

'And master, might I add that you really shouldn't be so trusting towards the demoness. Judging from the number of treasures she possessed as well as her strength I'm guessing she's actually quite high up in the Demon Kingdom, possibly having the title of Archdemon' Aaron said.

Calm down, calm down, seriously. Just because I trusted her doesn't mean I wouldn't be able to react to her if she decided to backstab me' Lachlan responded. 'Also, sure, you might have been able to beat the Dragon King and his Dragon but without the stone, we would have been surrounded by strong dragonkin as well as dragons. Do you realise, how many special abilities they could set off which might kill us instantly?'

Lachlan remembered he was basically talking to a couple of hotblooded teenagers when it came to his Rocs. Fortunately, Calamity was the mature one, resting by the side, enjoying the view of Dragonia as they drifted further and further away.

Disaster and Catastrophe grumbled angrily but didn't know what to come back with. So instead, they decided to join Calamity. Aaron, on the other hand, flew up to the top of the castle to enjoy the view instead. He could see just about everything from up there.

"Sigh, now, onto the taming." Lachlan looked at the three dragon eggs in his arms. One was dark blue with black lining, another was light green with brown lining, and the final one was black with a red lining. "I wonder what you will all hatch into."

Remember to go check out my other novel. I'll probably continue advertising here since I really want to win that writing promt. I want them spirit stones. The feature on front page is also pretty cool as well.
