A Journey That Changed The World.

[Sia's Pov]

While Archer was stuck in Frosthold, thanks to the Death Mist, Sia was battling her way north through the Underrealm while leading the monster army Mary brought together, but she was now worried as over half of them were dead.

Three Warrior Spiders died, leaving over a hundred standing when the battle stopped. The Swarms commanders stopped sending their creatures to them as other stuff was happening.

As Sia traveled down the tunnel, a wave of horrifying shadow creatures washed over them, but nothing happened. That's when she sensed the mana. It was familiar to her, and after

focusing on it for a few minutes, her eyes widened.

"Their Archers! They must be part of that shadow form he turns into,' she thought.

Following that, Sia ordered the monsters forward. They traveled for hours until arriving at a massive chamber where the spiders wanted to rest, which she agreed to. She jumped off her mount and started attending to the babies that clung to her abdomen.

While inside the chamber, it started to rumble, causing the Warrior Spiders to circle her. As the trembling got closer, Mary's massive snake head appeared at the entrance before she returned to her humanoid form.

Sia took a breath she didn't know she was holding and smiled, "Mary, you stupid woman. You scared us."

The grey-haired woman giggled, "Sorry. I had to deal with the Novgorod Pseudo-God who decided to make an appearance."

"Did you kill him or her?"

Mary beamed, "It was a man named Tobias, but he's now dead and torn to pieces, which was easy."

Following that, she looked around the chamber before stating, "Looks like the monster army has taken a beating. Should I get more Warrior Spiders? I considered letting them live in the mountains surrounding Draconia for protection."

Sia nodded, "That is a good idea. Archer could summon them whenever needed, plus they could multiply in a place like that."

"I'll capture some Under Ants and release them into the mountains so the spiders have a food source," Mary wondered aloud. "How about I just capture any monsters I find?"

"Sounds good to me," Sia said with a smile. "Archer would appreciate another army to aid him in his plans for conquest."

Mary nodded before vanishing into the tunnel. Sia started a fire when a spider dropped some wood nearby. It stayed pretty much the same, apart from the army of monsters that poured into the chamber.

They covered the walls and ceiling; whenever Sia looked up and saw a wall of Warrior Spiders, she felt the shivers: 'So creepy! I'm still not used to this.'

Soon enough, Mary returned and led toward Draconia while the Burrow Beetle dug through the earth to create a shortcut. Archer sent a heartfelt message to the two women during the journey, telling them he loved them.

Hearing this, the two older women became excited, their faces lighting up joyfully. Archer informed them that he needed to secure an entrance to the Underrealm, which made the duo smile.

Mary then mentioned they had a present for him but wanted affection in return. He instantly agreed, spurring the two women to speed up their travel until they burrowed through the heart and appeared in north Draconia, just under the mountains in the top left corner of the kingdom.

Once the two women were above ground, the evening air hit their skin, causing Sia to smile as her black hair flew everywhere. She looked at her mount before pointing to the mountain, "Make your home there, Shelob. I will check on you daily as I'm staying in Draconia now."

The massive Warrior Spider bowed before leading hundreds of monsters into the mountains alongside all the other insect creatures. While standing there, Mary commented, "We need to wait here and secure the hole until the legion arrives."

"Aisha said the 8th and 9th Legions are heading to construct a fortress around it along with a way down. Archer wants to set up an underground city that mines all the untouched resources in the Underrealm," Sia informed Mary.

"That could work if the right protections were in place, but I can help with that once Archer returns to the kingdom," the grey-haired woman responded.

The two women continued to watch as hordes of spiders and other creepy insects poured into the mountains around Draconia. Once the monster army had settled into its new territory, they returned to the capital to check it out before heading toward the palace.

[Brooke's POV]

Brooke spent her time in the Shadowfang Empire hunting powerful Swarm monsters heading toward Draconia. After doing this for days, the girls sent her a message that Archer had returned but had set out to destroy the invading creatures.

She let him be and continued searching for the monster, only to wipe out hundreds of them before returning to the palace where Mei was waiting for her. When Brooke touched down on the balcony, the black dragon spoke, "Thanks to you taking out the Swarms leaders, the vile creatures have retreated to the Green Sea where the savages can deal with them."

"Very good. I will be returning to Draconia, but I will have Archer visit the empire so he can meet you, Mei," Brooke revealed while wrapping a cloak around herself.

Mei frowned but nodded in understanding. "I expected you to head back sooner, but will you return to the Shadowfang Empire?"

"I'll join Archer when he visits your realms," Brooke smiled. "The girls informed me that he's going to take some time off to relax."

Following that, Brooke took off after saying her farewells to Mei. Once clear of the city, she sped west and soon flew over Verdantia, where she witnessed chaos all over the place courtesy of the other ladies aiding Archer.

Brooke continued flying until she spotted the Draconina mountains, which protected the kingdom from invasion. This was one reason the Swarm couldn't land with enough monsters to overwhelm the defenders.

Once crossing the peak, Brooke spotted numerous towns and cities with villages dotted across the landscape. She saw the Dragonfire River that snaked from north to south, allowing the navy or trading ships access to Draconia.

She received a message that everyone was at the new palace waiting for Archer to return from wiping out the Swarm. Brooke soon arrived and noticed the others sitting outside in the

garden gossiping.

Without wasting a second, she descended toward them and gracefully landed next to the table, which made some of them jump. Brooke laughed before greeting them all with a smile

and wave.

Following that, she told the girls everything that happened and informed them that the Shadowfang Empire was interested in trading with Draconia, which pleased the group. While they were talking, Mary and Sia walked into the garden.

Everyone turned to the older women with smiles and greeted them with hugs before the large group sat down to discuss the upcoming weeks and what the kingdom needed to thrive in this

chaotic world.

[Back to Archer]

Nyx didn't want to talk about it anymore, so he didn't bring it up but changed the subject, "How long will this Red Mist last? I need to head back to Draconia."

The woman shrugged, "It takes a few days, and it varies depending on how much magic the

Swarm uses in the spell."

"Can't I use my Anti-Magic skill?"

"It may work, but I don't know and wouldn't risk it," Nyx said. "In the early days, I saw many powerful mages killed by the mist, even with powerful defensive spells. Just wait, and it will

clear."

Archer nodded before he got comfortable in the chair as the Shadow Creatures informed him that they'd cleared half of Pluoria but were running out of mana. He ordered them to return to

their realm.

Once that was settled, he spoke, "Many monsters remain on Pluoria, and we can hunt once the

fog vanishes."

Nyx smiled, "I would like that. It seems like they've abandoned Frostholm; otherwise, we would have seen them already," she revealed while looking at him.

The two of them continued talking, and Archer noticed Nyx was opening up even more. She drank some wine while declaring, "This will get a dragon drunk, so why don't we celebrate?" "Celebrate what?" he questioned as she filled two cups with the delicious-smelling liquid. "That someone will care for me as Mother and Father did," Nyx said with sadness that caused Archer to feel bad for the woman.

Without thinking, he stood up and approached her with a smile before wrapping his arms around her comfort. The dragon woman was surprised, but she melted into the hug and

looked up at him.

"Once we travel together, you won't ditch me, will you?" she asked with hope in her red and

yellow eyes.

Archer shook his head, "Why would I do that? I want you to travel with me and will introduce you to the girls. I think you will like them."

Nyx beamed before separating and pouring more wine as the both of them started drinking until Archer was drunk and couldn't see straight. He leaned back on the chair and soon nodded but was awakened by the dragon woman climbing on him.

She clung to him like a baby koala, which he found adorable, and started hugging her, which caused a smile to appear on her beautiful face.
