MAXIMILLIAN ENEJO
I had only spent a year awake from my coma before the university of magical and scientific arts became a part of Spero. At that time Spero was still just a plane within another dimension. With the addition of the university it grew bigger, and then the king of the water dragon joined, bringing with him three whole planets to be assimilated with Spero, and along with how unstable the universe was after it's first merged, the secret dimension could no longer hold Spero, so it fully became exposed and a part of the new universe. Hence why the calendar was changed to N.U.E
This world our world has a very history, and so do all the dragon kings within it. But the gist is Earth; the prime world, the original world became to unstable to withstand the power of humanity's ability to live, or in simpler terms, free will and the ability to make different choices that always usually have repercussions to the future. Without a definite future, having multiple outcomes, and consequences of making choices and discarding them, Earth was dying.
Not just from the physical actions of the humans, but from their dreams, their will that shaped the very essence and future of life around them. So all of the excessive energy, discarded dreams, choices, and will was siphoned by earth into a pocket universe, creating new life and races, a task that was carried out by seven dragons of the most basic and fundamental elements. The dragon of the soul, the dragon of the mind, the dragon of magic, the dragon of fire, the dragon of water, the dragon of earth, and finally the dragon of the wind.
But even then humanity's capacity to dream, to create and destroy was unprecedented, they dreamed harder, made more choices, changed the future so much that Earth, a planet with an awareness and existence connected to it's past, present and future, every time stream and alternate future connected and intersected constantly. Earth had to create another universe to siphons off the new things humanity dreamed up, but they didn't stop, and kept being humans, and earth had to keep siphoning and making a new universe layered over the other, until seven universes were created.
This became the place were lost dreams and ideas came and had a life of their own, but if it was just lost dreams and discarded decisions then it would've have been pretty bleak.
The good and the bad of human creativity and depravity thrived, there were dragons, demons, vampires, devil's, celestials, Nephilims dwarves, even aliens. It was a whole new universe, all seven of them, and for a while there was peace, until earth itself fell under danger from a source of great power and darkness that has existed right from the beginning of the universe itself.
It's had many names, some call it the dark, the devourer, but it's mainly known by the name The collective. And it's one goal was to swallow the universe and become it, a dark universe of dead worlds and beings without a will of their own, all slaves to it's very own will. No laughter, no pain, no joy, no sadness. No one wanted that, and so earth out in place a plan that spanked across multiple time streams and alternate futures, plumbing heroes, the people now known as the dragon kings and sending them to the seventh universe, except in the case of the king of the water dragon who was sent to the sixth.
They were to become one with the seven dragons of creation, thereby becoming an embodiment of a pillar of creation. As soon as that is done, they would defend earth and the universes from the invasion of the collective and it's armies, while also merging all of the universes into one big and massive universe strong enough to defend itself from outside influences and capable of expanding should humanity's capacity to be the X factor of the universe kept on increasing. And in this new universe, earth would be right in it's center, safe and protected from any sort of invasion. The safety of this new universe would be left to the dragon kings.
Well that may or may not happen. So far of the seven universes, only three have been combined, leaving four unaccounted for and earth still outside their sphere of influence. There's a merged every five years, and the next one should be in five or six months, and once that happens the universe would expand again, and there would be new races, new planets, new stars, gods and cosmic entities, but most of all.....there would be new wars.
But I wasn't here for a history lesson, even though it's been running through my mind as of late. My father is the dragon king of the wind, powerful, ruthless, kind, and a werewolf, just like me. Being a werewolf I live under a different set of rules, and not just that, with my mother also being a dragon king, or in the case queen, I have quite a lot of expectations on my shoulders.
As the first born child of a dragon king, or queen, I have the title dragon prince, just like Cassiel has the title dragon princess. But I was not here for Cassiel, rather I was here for her brother, the blind prince himself; Michael"
"Are you talking to yourself again Max?" I heard a voice ask behind me. I felt the tips of my ears burn in embarrassment as I turned and answered back.
"No I'm not! And how the hell did you get behind me? You're supposed to be blind, doesn't that mean you have to be clumsy and loud?" I grumbled at Michael in annoyance. He looked at me, well not looked at me per say since he was blind, but rather he pointed his bandaged eyes in my direction and raised an eyebrow.
"Blind or not, you seem to forget that I am part vampire, part dragon, part night elf, part human and above all things a freaking demigod. There's no way in hell I can ever be clumsy." He replied with a smug grin
"Aren't you being particularly self centered and arrogant right now, you're showing off to me. Please, I might not be a demigod, but I'm a hybrid werewolf and vampire and dragon, plus I can hold my own in a fight as opposed to you." I mocked him with my hands behind my head.
"well that comes to an end in three days. Our dads decided they would be training us both. I need to get my energy to a stable enough foundation so that I can start taming beasts of my own. The next beast trainer battle league is in two months, I intend to apply for it, and so would you. You're going to be my wing man right?"
"do you have a left arm, of course I'll be your wing man. I can't wait until we wipe that smug grin off your sister's face. But speaking of your sister, I'm sure you heard what happened to the champion of the previous league. Word on the street was that him and the princess got into some sort of altercation yesterday, so people think she did it." I said to Mike as I took his hand and led him to a chair in the waiting area of the hotel.
"You and I both know that's bullshit, Cassie is way too arrogant to murder her competition. She's all about nobility and honor. I understand how she could be a suspect though, she's a basket case. However my sister is not a murderer, at least not yet anyway. There's still enough time for her to add that to her list of bad qualities. And would you stop leading me around, I can find the couch just fine… Oof!!"
"Well your highness, it seems you found the ground." I said to him with a wide grin on my face. I bent down to help him up, before unceremoniously shoving him into the couch he just missed by mere inches.
"I'm so glad I can't see the smug grin on your face right now, I wouldn't have been able to live it down." He said to me as he ran his hands through his silver and blue hair.
"Yeah you would have hated it. But on a serious note, I think someone's trying to pin the murder on Cassiel, and with everything that happened last week; you know? The public execution of the man who took your eyes and killed a lot of people when he was escaping, I think a lot of people would be trying to paint the royal family in a bad light. Your dad is scary after all." I said to him as I took a seat besides him.
"Yeah you might be right Max, but what can we do about it? You don't expect us to go find the murders or at least solve the case ourselves do you?......fuck, that's what you came here to tell me isn't it." Michael said with an annoyed tone, but I just laughed and threw my right arm over his shoulder and drew him closer to me.
"So what do you say blind boy, wanna be my partner? Let's be cops. Or better yet, let's be detectives. Let's do it for your family, and can you imagine how annoyed Cassiel would become when she finds out you solved a case and cleared her name when she couldn't do anything, she's going to flip." Mike did not even need to think too long after I dropped that bit about Cassiel.
"You have a deal dog, give me a minute to get my stuff ready, plus I need to tell my mom I won't make it to dinner. Also got to ditch the guards, see you outside in fifteen minutes, go with the wind brother."
"as you ride on the clouds. See you in fifteen." I said to Mike as he got up and went to the elevator that would take him to the penthouse, and not once did he fall or hit anything on his way up.
I shook my head and made my way outside the hotel. So I had to be a detective for the night, how hard can it be. I might not be Sherlock Holmes, but I have a really powerful nose, there's no secret I can't sniff out. I also had to get ready too.

I'm just level 2 as opposed to Cassiel's level 4, and I'm a year older than her. Both that I was worried that she was stronger, that girl was insane and all she thought about was training, and more training and then using those training for fights. I've had a leisurely life so far with my best friend and I would like it to remain that way, but at least for tonight, I don't think it would be a bad idea to have a little excitement. And what better way to have such excitement than to solve a murder case, hah! I'm so smart.
