Rise Of A Fallen God 111 Gaining Truths

Today it has finally happened they now know a part of his origin other than his life with Verena, they can also tell that Ibrahim is going to keep going.

After a few glares from the others and hushed mental talks the group of women quieted down allowing Ibrahim to continue his tale.

"When Dashnell prevented the other two powers from attacking the Observers he was already regaining most of his former powers, this caused his body to slowly decay.

He left Henrel the homeworld of the Observers after all three races reached an agreement, those few Ancients and Draconian Elders were filled in on parts of the statues origins.

This made them slightly jealous but it prevented any lingering aggression.

Dashnell did this so he could leave knowing they would remain safe even after he died."

Ibrahim could see it in their eyes that they wanted to know where he died.

He then told them about the 7 moons that orbit around Henrel, that one of them was referred to as the emerald eye this was Dashnells favorite spot as a young Observer before and after he regained his memories and powers.

"When he was no longer able to endure the amount of power acc.u.mulating inside him he decided to die on this moon as he looked over Henrel.

He had watched over Henrel in his last moments, watching the cities grow, wars start and end, natural disasters form and spread across the planet he watched it all in his last moments."

Just as he finished and was about to move on Kate Interrupted him, causing many to be surprised as she was one to never speak out unless it was a dire matter.

"Wait Ibrahim what is his name when he was an Ancient? We already know he lived as an Ancient long ago, so what was his name then?"

Hearing her a lot of the others were happy she asked as it was on their minds as well they just did not want to speak up.

"I was going to speak about his life as an Ancient last but since you asked I could at least give you his name, for the rest you will have to wait. Deal?" He said looking at the nervous Kate.

"Deal!!" She answered as she jolted up from her floating seat before hurriedly sitting back down.

"He went by the name Terel Genvel, he was the current ruler of the Ancients during that time.

I believe you built a Statue of him long ago that still stands to this day, I don't think anyone knew who he truly was until when he died for the Ancients in that war.

Now back to what I was saying before I will continue were he just pa.s.sed on as an Observer, Oh! Yes his name as an Observer was Lami.

After he died he was soon reborn as a Draconian named Ventis, he lived most his life being a chess piece in the political war between his mother, father and grandfather.

As the three fought for complete control of the Draconian race he was sent to watch over one of the young Guardians staying on their world.

This was done after they found out about his hidden fraction, they did not want a four way struggle that might cost him his life so sent him were he would have no power but be completely safe.

He spent most his days with Vivian after he gained this bit of freedom from his parents, and as time went on his memories slowly started to return. The Guardian, Vivian loved the Draconian people as they were a Major Power were females held the most power and authority.

While she was a youth she hated that her fellow Guardians would only drown themselves in war or s.e.x, she preferred the Draconians way of life were honor was present and power was given to the strong as they protected the weak.

People can call the Draconians barbarians all they like but to her they were the most civilized among all the races the Guardians forced into submission.

As the Draconians never allowed any mistreatment of the foreign creature that they conquered.

Although the Draconians were just as l.u.s.tful they did not let it rule them like it ruled the Guardians, for this reason she hid away on the Draconian home world Dratan.

She tried to remain single by hiding away there, that was until she was a.s.signed a guard named Ventis.

She found out about his troubled situation and tried her best to help him overcome it but did not like interfering to much in the politics of the Draconians.

While the three factions fought and kill each other for the first time she saw an ugliness within her favored race the Draconians.

A mother wanting her own son as her new mate and was willing to do anything to retain her hold of power, a father who could not get too close to his son as they fought for the same thing.

The fight between the three affected the lives of all Draconians as it split them into three camps.

Varak held most the most political power among the three, Lillian had complete control of the military, as for Virard he was the current ruler of the Draconians and held his own with his personal army that was made up from the various races the Draconians ruled over.

Out of the three he held the most power, as not everyone knew of the power struggle that was happening it looked like Virard was preparing a ma.s.sive force for another war.

Many a.s.sumed it was to conquer another world or to suppress rebels.

Only to witness one of the bloodiest wars in Draconian history, I believe it was called.

The Imperial Rebellion War.

It lasted for 100 years, 400 trillion Draconians died in this war, for it to end with Virard being stuck down by his son Ventis.

As Draconian law dictates he was now the rightful ruler of all males in his bloodline and since his father was the current ruler before his death he inherited that t.i.tle.

As some of you should know Draconians only allow the strong to breed, or to better put it the male to female ratio does not allow those who can not fight for it to breed.

Every billionth female born a single male would be born. You can guess from that number alone the fight for marriage, being a couple and love is beyond deadly.

They tried to find methods to boost the male birth rate but it only made things worse, forcing the ratio into the trillions.

With the size of Drantar and long lifespans of Draconians they did not worry about this all that much it just meant fierce compet.i.tion for a mate, through time the women naturally became the true rulers of the Draconians.

Where they started stripping away many if not all rights any male Draconian had, they were treated as a scarce and valuable resource that was vital to the survival of the Draconian race.

Each male my have no power but over time that changed as they could refuse any and all mates, it forced the powerful females to bend and change the laws to were males controlled large fractions of their own each with different laws.

As to why the females could not force the males to accept them as mates that was the males threatening to kill themselves.

While the women in their fraction held true authority and power the male was just as powerful as he could choose at any time to replace those in power.

Doing things this way the Draconians would have frequent wars between the various males, using the females under their control to seize the territory of each other.

This went on for millions of years until Lillian returned and forced both male and female Draconians to submit to her, she was far too powerful and she eventually united all Draconians under her rule.

She fixed the old system and placed males throughout the land, each controlling vast amounts of territory with billions of women under their control.

The women would control everything from governing the area to its laws and security to its development.

As women were the majority of the population they did most of the jobs and developed the Draconian civilization into the Major Power it came to be.

As for the males well they held little to no power, the only males with any power were those who depended on the power and influence their wives they took in as mates possessed.

Varak changed that by allowing males to enlist in the military were they could prove that they are not only to be protected, this was met with extreme push back but eventually became law, were all Males would have to fight in wars and were drafted to learn how to become soldiers.

It turned out that male Draconian were 10 times stronger than average females, this should also be the reason for the low birth rates of males.

This did not mean women were not stronger than those males take Lillian for example she was stronger than all Draconians, with only old age being able to beat her.

She ruled until old age claimed her life.

Finding this out allowed males to regain some of their lost rights, but due to the millions of years of being cared for many even Varak himself did not try to push for too much change. As the lifestyle of being treated as a G.o.d by the women around them was something they did not wish to lose.

It may sound like males are treated as tools only fit for breeding but Draconian males prefered it this way.

The few hundred thousand males formed a independent power were they discussed their way of life and it is here were all males continue to change the laws that control the male population.

In times of war only when necessary do males go out into the battlefield, were they are the first and last waves in all major wars the Draconians have.

Other than that they manage the billions of women that have become their mates, each male tries their best to gain the support of the strongest of females to join their fraction as this is the only way to retain the freedom they posses.

Each male goes into war to prove themselves so the more powerful women would choose them as mates, this is done for the soul reason that any Draconian can take the throne from Lillian or Varak.

For males they have to send in a team of females to fight off the chosen 10 warriors under Varak, while they fight Varak in a duel were the winner becomes the new ruler of all the Draconian males.

For the females their way to the throne is a simple one on one duel or team battle alongside their mates chosen 10 defenders. Meaning Lillian can defend her throne on her own or a.s.sist the male of her choosing into becoming the new ruler or retaining his position.

From this you can tell that the females hold all the power, as they decided the male ruler so long as they are strong enough.

Lillian has ruled the Draconians until her death having three different males stand at her side two of which were her sons.

In the Past Varak was the strongest male Draconian and the Second strongest Draconian, the strongest Draconian was without a doubt Lillian.

During the war were the Guardians conquered the Draconians she was able to fight several Guardians to a standstill on her own.

Many of those Guardians even wanted her as their wife, one succeed in wooing her and left Dratan together after the war.

Millions of years later she returned to stop the constant wars for power before uniting the Draconian race once more under her rule. It was recorded that the Guardian that was her mate died in battle fighting against other Guardians, after his death she tried and failed to get vengeance before returning to her homeworld."
