I Received System to Become Dragonborn

Amidst the somber atmosphere, a chilling realization dawned upon them. The power of black Magic had fallen into the hands of a young child that easily, a revelation that sent shivers down their spines.

They exchanged worried glances, knowing all too well the dangers that such untamed power could unleash upon the world.

"How could this happen?" Adrius muttered, his voice laced with disbelief and concern.

"It is indeed unthinkable," Saeldir added, his brows furrowed in deep contemplation. "The consequences of such power in the hands of a child... it\'s beyond comprehension."

Erend clenched his fists, his jaw set with determination. "We cannot allow this to continue. We must find a way to stop it before more harm is done."

Adrius nodded in agreement, his expression grave. "Agreed. We must act swiftly."

They all know how dangerous this disaster is. They already knew that, but it was all just estimates and predictions from Saeldir about the records he checked.

But now, they really saw it with their own eyes about the dangers that appeared one by one unexpectedly.

If this kept happening, then they weren\'t sure they could stop it all. For they didn\'t know what kind of event occurred caused by the arrival of the Great Calamity.

As they continued their journey with resolute determination, the landscape around them began to change. Rolling hills gave way to rugged terrain, and dense forests transitioned into rocky foothills.

The air grew cooler, carrying with it the scent of pine and earth as they ascended higher into the mountainous region.

Along the way, they passed by picturesque streams meandering through lush valleys, their crystalline waters glistening in the sunlight. Towering trees swayed gently in the breeze, casting dappled shadows upon the forest floor.

Birds sang melodious tunes from their perches high above, adding a sense of tranquility to the surroundings.

As they pressed forward with unwavering resolve, the towering peaks of the mountains loomed ever closer on the horizon. Jagged cliffs rose sharply into the sky, their rugged silhouettes etched against the backdrop of the azure heavens.

Wisps of clouds drifted lazily overhead, casting fleeting shadows upon the rugged landscape below.

Finally, after hours of relentless trekking, they arrived at the foot of the imposing mountain range. The sheer magnitude of the towering peaks filled them with awe, their majestic grandeur serving as a testament to the untamed beauty of the natural world.

Far to the west of their current position lay a kingdom. This kingdom was known for its rugged landscapes, vast wilderness, and formidable natural defenses.

The kingdom was nestled amidst towering mountain ranges and expansive forests, its borders marked by craggy peaks and rushing rivers. Lush valleys dotted with villages and fertile farmland stretched out beneath the watchful gaze of the towering mountains, providing sustenance for the kingdom\'s inhabitants.

At the heart of the kingdom stood a majestic castle. Its towering spires reaching towards the heavens and its sturdy walls standing as a testament to the kingdom\'s strength and resilience.

Surrounding the castle were bustling marketplaces, bustling with activity as merchants and traders from far and wide came to sell their wares.

Colorful banners fluttered in the breeze, while the sound of laughter and music filled the air, creating a lively atmosphere that spoke of prosperity and abundance.

Beyond the castle walls, the kingdom\'s vast wilderness stretched out in all directions, teeming with untold wonders and hidden dangers.

Towering forests, winding rivers, and towering peaks beckoned to adventurous souls, offering the promise of adventure and discovery for those brave enough to explore its depths.

Despite its remote location and rugged terrain, the kingdom was a beacon of prosperity. That is the kingdom of Astoria, the kingdom where Adrius is formerly an Archmage.

"This is the Ironpeak Mountain. Inside lay the place you all been looking for," Adrius said. "The Khazadrim Kingdom."

Erend, Adrien, Billy, and Sealdir marveled at the size of the mountain and the fact that a kingdom is located inside this mountain. It there is a war, how\'s their enemy supposed to attack?

They walked closer and Adrius invoked a spell, causing a shimmering portal to materialize before them. With a sense of anticipation, they stepped through the magical gateway, feeling a momentary disorientation as they transitioned from the rugged wilderness to the heart of the mountainous realm.

Emerging on the other side, they found themselves standing within the majestic halls of Khazadrim Kingdom, the ancient Dwarf kingdom nestled deep within the peaks of the Ironpeak Range. The air was thick with the scent of earth and metal, and the sound of hammers striking anvils echoed through the cavernous chambers.

As they made their way further into the kingdom, they were greeted by a contingent of Dwarf guards, their stout forms clad in intricately crafted armor.

The guards eyed them with a mixture of curiosity and suspicion, their expressions stern yet not without a hint of hospitality.

Adrius stepped forward, his demeanor confident yet respectful. "Greetings, noble guards of Khazadrim Kingdom. We seek an audience with your king, in hopes of forging an alliance against the encroaching darkness that threatens our lands."

The guards exchanged wary glances, clearly deliberating amongst themselves. They knew something already.

After a tense moment, one of them stepped forward, his voice gruff yet tinged with a sense of duty. "Follow me. The king will hear of your request."

Led by the Dwarf guards, the four of them traversed the bustling corridors of Khazadrim. Their footsteps echoing against the sturdy stone walls adorned with intricate carvings depicting the history and legends of the Dwarf kingdom.

Along the way, they passed bustling forges where skilled Dwarf craftsmen hammered away at glowing metal, and storied halls adorned with banners bearing the emblem of the kingdom.

Finally, they arrived at the entrance to the king\'s throne room, where two imposing doors stood sentinel, adorned with intricate engravings and embellishments. With a nod from the guards, the doors swung open, revealing the vast chamber beyond.

The throne room was a sight to behold, with towering pillars of stone reaching up to support the vaulted ceiling adorned with shimmering crystals. At the far end of the room, upon a raised dais, sat the Dwarf king upon his throne. His figure is the embodiment of strength and authority.

The four of them approached the throne, their footsteps echoing in the cavernous space. As they drew near, the king regarded them with a steely gaze, his expression unreadable. The guards stepped aside, allowing the adventurers to address their king.

Saeldir stepped forward, his demeanor calm and composed, as he began to introduce himself and his compaions to the Dwarf king.

"Your Majesty," he began, his voice carrying with it a tone of respect and sincerity, "I am Saeldir, the Archmage of the Elf Palace.

With me are my comrades: Erend, a seasoned warrior of great valor," he gestured towards Erend, who nodded in acknowledgment, "Adrien, a skilled swordsman whose bravery knows no bounds," Adrien inclined his head respectfully, "and Billy, a stalwart companion whose loyalty is unmatched." Billy nodded, his expression serious as he met the king\'s gaze.

It was decided before that they will let Saeldir introducing them as whatever he see fit. Because no way they will be introduced as human from another world.

"We have traveled far to seek your aid in a matter of grave importance," Saeldir continued. "A darkness looms on the horizon, threatening not only our lands but the safety of all who dwell within them. We humbly beseech you, Your Majesty, to lend us your strength and wisdom in our time of need."

The Dwarf king frowned. "How came an Elf Archamage traveled with three human warriors?"

"We\'ve had a lot of adventures together, Your Majesty. And our king decided to give them honorary titles," Saeldir answered.

"Is that so. Hmm... Actually, we also feel the disturbance in this world. We felt the mountain shuddered with unusual energy. A disaster is coming," said the king. "Do you know what actually happened?"

Saeldir stepped forward, his eyes reflecting the weight of the tale he was about to unfold.

"Your Majesty, do you know abou the Great Calamity?" Saeldir began.

With a voice tinged with solemnity, Saeldir began to recount the events of the Great Calamity, a cataclysmic event that will shaken the very foundations of their world.

He described what he sees in the records about how the skies had darkened with ominous clouds, and how the earth itself had trembled with the fury of chaotic Magic. The once vibrant lands had been ravaged, torn apart by the chaos that ensued, leaving devastation in its wake.

As he spoke, images of destruction and despair filled the minds of those listening, painting a grim picture of the horrors that had befallen their world. Entire cities lay in ruins, and countless lives will be lost in the blink of an eye.

"That is why we need your help, Your Majesty," Saeldir concluded.
