Location: 7th city of Mount Hara: Naēca.Dragon King of Destruction's Temple, Bushyasta; Throne room
Φ Holding her hands against her head, Indrani turns to the four dragons in front of her body and says, "Never let this information leak from here. Under no circumstances is Zahhak to learn of this. And if for any reason I learn it graces his ears, your lives shall be forfeit, do you understand?"
Her glare strikes down upon the four Dragons, and with the exception of one with a tail made of clouds, who smiles, the rest all shake in fear at her declaration.
Pacing across the room, she says, "Ahura, are you really that weak that you'd subject one of your children to this. Or have the prophecies of the humans rotted your brain so deeply that you can no longer look at what's in front of yo-."
"MOTHER!" Garəbra's voice shouts.
Turning her head to the door, she sees Garəbra and Paouruazi who stare up at her with faces filled with stress. "What's wrong, you two, if you make noise like that, you could wake up Zaz-."
"He's gone!" Garəbra says as fear crawls up her body.
"What do you mean, he is gone? He always has incredibly deep sleeps when we're all aro-. No, he must've felt around for me and have seen I was missing. Did he come looking for me?" In an instant, she starts to bite her fingernails as a series of horrible thoughts flows through her head.
Holding Jamshid, Garəbra says, "He left him; he never leaves the temple without him."
Paouruazi says, "What are you all talking about, mother, because there is a chance he heard it all?"
Indrani holds her face in frustration, but as a surge passes through her stomach, she falls to her knees and roars throughout the room. Paouruazi, in an instant, appears at her mother's side, grabbing the bump and says, "I think it might be time for the birth."
Looking down at the floor in pain, she says, "Please, no, not right now, I need to focus on Zaza."
Seeing the turmoil build on her mother's face, Garəbra says, "Go make sure she is okay, Paouruazi. I will send the servants to prepare the festival for the arrival of the child as we search for Zahhak."
"No, ignore this. I need you to send all resources we have to find Zahhak."
"I won't do that. Zahhak would be full of despair if he knew this incident would cause the celebration of his new family member to be postponed. We don't know his mental state, and doing anything that could make it worse isn't key. In fact, there is a chance his worry for you could make him rush back here, so we need to move quickly."
Indrani nods and says, "You're right. My daughters, I am in your hands."
"Right!" they both say as they nod to each other.
As the King leaves, Garəbra turns to the three and says, "Diamond Dragon, go make sure the delivery room is sterilised and protected. Heavenly Dragon, go gather all of the Deva's in case of any attacks from other Dragons or Demons in my mother's vulnerable state. Blood Dragon returns home and spreads the news, and Curse Dragon Ereshkigal, I want you to use the curse that allows us to track the movements of all the citizens within Mount Hara to find Zahhak quickly."
Three of the Dragon instead depart, and a porcelain-skinned Dragon with two Great Horns at the side of its head says, "M-M-My princess, that is qui-i-ite a task for me. E-Especially with everyone moving? To p-p-pinpoint the location of someone with all the movement going on, I might leave lasting damage on Mount Hara due to how much stronger I will nee-ed to make the curse."
With a gross smile appearing across her face, Ereshkigal asks, "S-S-S-So can I rampage as muc-c-ch as needed."
"You can do whatever is necessary."
Across her body is a jacket made of books bolted together, attached to a large skull head that she wears as a shoulder piece. In an instant, she breaks and frees one of the books, then from it, a series of pink letters fly out from it. They quickly form into giant eyes that stinks and places itself over Ereshkigal's eyes, and says, "Now let's see where Zahhak could possible b-."
A scream bursts from her lungs as she falls to the ground in pain and holds onto her chest as her body wrenches all around. Garəbra rushes to her body on the ground and says, "What's wrong? Why is this happening to you?"
"The-ere i-i-is, something interfering w-w-w-with my curses. Something that s-s-s-s-shouldn't be allowed to li-i-i-ive. Princess run, you need to run right n-now!"
Throughout the entirety of the 7th city, tremors move everywhere, shaking it right down to its very foundation, and in the face of this, Garəbra picks up Ereshkigal and rushes outside.
Then from the earth below it a ball of darkness arises, covering and absorbing everything in its path, and then it bursts open. All the matter absorbed by the sphere shoots out in every direction, yet Garəbra doesn't move as her eyes are completely taken by the creature in front of her.
With pitch black scales that have the colours purple etched into them, a three-headed 60-meter humanoid lizard with four demonic wings sprouting form it's back, and three tails that whip around the area, emerges. Its chest has the face of a monstrous demon etched into it, and its eyes shine a bright crimson.
Seeing the figure in front of herself, let out a roar that blows away the surrounding area. Garəbra says, "Is that Zahhak's Dragonic Form? He shouldn't even know that he can do that. How did this come about?"
From its mouth, the words, "You already know the answer to that, my little emissary of death."
Hearing that voice come out of Zahhak's mouth, Garəbra slowly raises her head as her eyes open wide in shock, and says, "Angra Mainyu?"
"CORRECT! I HAVE RETURNED, HAVE YOU MISSED ME GARƏBRA! FOR I HAVE MISSED YOU ALL WITH ALL MY HEART!!! HEARING JUST YOUR VOICES WAS SO PAINFUL WHEN I WISHED TO HOLD YOU ALL LIKE I DID MILENNIA AGO!"
Disgust surges through her body as her tail curls up in frustration. Yet seeing the beast in Zahhak's body, she says, "What are you doing speaking from Zaza!"
"Isn't it obvious my Dragon of demon creation? I have become one with him, two souls in one body, two beings for one. Me and my best friend Zahhak."
"DO NOT PLAY WITH ME FO-!"
"THEN STOP ASKING FOOLISH QUESTIONS! For you already know how we met. He fell to me that day in his despair, and I guided him, I cared for him, I talked with him, I played with him, whilst giving him everything he wanted to know about his parents that you so viciously kept from the lovely boy. We became true friends, and on this day of his despair, he came to me for a solution, far before the thought of meeting his would-be family ever crossed his mind. And now that has all brought me back to you all today, isn't that right, Indrani?"
Garəbra's eyes move to the right were she sees her mother and sister standing with their heads outside one of the many windows in the temple, peering out at the sight in front of her.
Filled with confusion and rage, Indrani yells, "ANGRA!!!!"
Tremors roar through the entire area as the air that releases from Indrani's mouth forces the very ground to move out of fear. "Ahh, what a yell, my lovely friend. The last time I heard you scream like that was when my hand ripped the chest right out of your lovely husband's heart."
"FIRST BHAGAVAN, NOW YOU TRY AND COME FOR ZAHHAK, I WILL DESTROY YOUR VERY SOUL TILL NOTHING REMA-."
Her yells in an instant come to a stop, and as she falls to her knees, holding her stomach, Paouruazi and the rest of the Sun Maidens gather around her.
Laughing at the sight, Angra says, "On the day of my great revival, the son of the man you once loved, a man I killed, chooses to rush out, maybe his flesh wants revenge for his father's end, or even to protect his mother, yet he has become the greatest weakness and my greatest asset on this day. How tragic, how comical, how awful, blessed be the Messiah for my fortune today!"
As the Sun Maidens gathered around one of them, kneeling right beside the King, the lady Cyrus and his Sister relied on in the future, called Ariana, turns her head to Paouruazi and says, "My princess, the Shah is currently in danger here, please keep your attention on her."
Paouruazi, whose eyes are locked on Zahhak's Dragon form, quickly snaps out of her trance and grabs her mother's stomach as a glowing yellow energy emerges from her palms and flows into her mother's body. "It will be alright, it will be alri-."
In an instant, the giant palm of Zahhak's body moves over Indrani, covering them in its large shadow. It furiously moves to squash them, but in that moment, a giant diamond-like barrier erects itself around the entire temple, completely warding off the blow.
Turning one of the try heads, Angra looks at a Dragon on top of the castle, and says, "Diamond Dragon Sanshinryeong, your barriers have grown stronger, unlike the failures that you once yielded to stop my blows before. I guess you've finally overcome your human blood?"
A Dragon who wears a silver hanbok without a jeogori, with a large circular hat composed of diamonds on his head, as well as one large horn against the top of his forehead, looks out with eyes full of rage towards Angra and says, "You will never hurt another member of the royal family as long as I stand here!!!"
"But don't you see your actions are already hurting one of them?"
In an instant, the crimson in Angra's eyes glows brighter, and from the heads of the three Dragons, tears start to form as a childish and soft voice asks, "Aunty, why did my birth kill my mother? Why was a mistake like me given life?"
The overlapping voice increases the intensity of the boy's words, and staring into his desperate eyes, Indrani shouts, "NO! ZAHHAK YOU AREN'T A MISTAKE, YOU DESERVE TO BE ALIVE!"
"Then why did I kill my mother? Why did I end her life? Why was I the first Dragon to ever kill their parent ever in our long history? For if I deserved to be alive, my death wouldn't have stolen so much from my family?"
"It was just chance, nothing more. Your father might be sad now, but time will pass, and eventually you will be allowed back in. Until then, stay with us Zahhak. I promise it will be okay because I love you, Zaza, so do we all."
With the sorrow in his face overtaking all three heads, Zahhak says, "That sounds nice aunty, but right now, more than anything else in the world, I think I hate you all almost as much as I hate myself for trusting Angra. So please, if you love me, aunty, kill me."
Darkness burst free from Zahhak's fist, completely absorbing the diamond barrier, forcing his hand forward. Causing Sanshinryeong to be overwhelmed by shock as Angra says, "I picked a wonderful body, didn't I!"
The fist of Zahhak rushes towards Indrani as Sanshinryeong dashes forward towards them, yet his pace cannot keep up with the speed of Angra's strike, causing him to yell, "NOOO!"
Yet before Angra's fists can reach Indrani and Paouruazi its body is blown back into the distance, and falling in the sky, Garəbra says, "YOU WILL NOT SULLY HIS HANDS YOU DEMON!"
Laughing with the two side heads as the centre one cries, Angra says, "THEN YOU'LL HAVE TO KILL US, Rara!"
