The rays of the setting sun shone on the tranquil water, and Norton, whose chest was stained with blood, paused at the water's edge, straight as a bronze pillar.

The close-fitting gold armor covered with dragon inscriptions is angular and neat as new.

Even in the face of death, he still lived up to the majesty of the king.

There is no cure for Jörmungård's 'earthly poison', except for the two dragon emperors, black and white, only the former Water King and Fenrir can endure it without dying.

Even Constantine in his heyday could not withstand the poison of such a terrifying "force", and Norton would not be an exception. When the force acting on the physical structure of his body in an instant began to destroy everything he existed, Norton's body was instantly covered with hideous cracks.

Like a porcelain that was about to shatter, pieces of fine fragments fell from him and annihilated.

With the power of the double divine name left by Bu Shun, his spirit also came to an end.

If we say, dragons also have the same marquee as humans.

Memories that have lasted for millions of years may also flow through his fading soul in this moment.

……

……

Fire, the third son of the Black King.

After being given a name, gender, identity, and wisdom by the White King.

The brothers named "Norton" and "Konstantin" were truly born.

But soon after his birth, Norton soon realized a little in the frozen ground and wind and snow in the far north...... Not to mention that he was too weak compared to the eldest of the water, incomparably strong, and even compared to Konstantin, who was born to his compatriot.

Without hands and feet, they can only crawl in the snow and ice.

Without wings, you will lose your way in the barren land.

Even though they have the natural power to dominate the realm of fire, and can ignite the fire that keeps brothers warm together, they still can't embrace each other no matter what......

And as he grew older, the curse of fate became more and more intense.

Even a casual touch can cause the other person to die, and it is necessary to regenerate the body and soul through "cocooning". Norton had to wrap his whole body in metal to cut off the distance between himself and his brother, so that there was always a layer of cold separation between them.

Norton doesn't know why the White King wants to make himself his "older brother".

If the position is arranged by strength, Konstantin is far above him, but in the end, it is his weakness who becomes the elder brother......

But despite his doubts, Norton made a decision.

"I'm going to change that."

……

……

"Brother......

"Thank you for the hand you made for me, I love it very much~!"

The crimson giant snake wrapped around the bronze giant pillar called "Zhong Shan", happily brandished its bronze prosthetic leg, and said softly to the metal dragon with its head bowed and pondering, "Thank you~"

The exaggerated and strange mask of his facial features obscured his dragon head, which could be said to be delicate and even weak, making this red dragon snake have a majesty in front of his dependents who didn't know him.

"It's not enough, Konstantin." Norton looked down at the dragon claw he had made, "It's not enough. ”

"Huh?"

From behind Konstantin's mask, there was a soft surprise, "Is my brother thinking about Fenrir and Jörmungadr?" ”

Norton, who now does not possess the title of "Lord of Bronze and Fire", examines his sleek and rigid metal dragon body, and utters a voice as low as thunder and storm: "Compared to them, I am really ...... It's too weak. ”

But Konstantin said, "I think everyone is very good." ”

"Although Jörmunga is a little stingy, he will also catch fish for me to eat, and Fenrir also asked his dependents to dig a lava for me on his body, which is very comfortable to bathe, and the water senior is also very careful to teach me how to cultivate my dependents......"

"Brother, have you figured out what type of dependents you want?"

Norton shook his head at his brother's innocence, "Have you paid attention to the birth of 'Wind'?" ”

Konstantin lowered his head, scratched his chin with the tip of his tail, and said in surprise: "I heard that it was the high priest who took them away?" My father seemed to like them. ”

Norton approached his brother and gently covered his crimson serpent body with his blue-gold wings, "They've been cursed by 'fate' too. ”

"In the eternal time to come, they will make each other's kingdoms conquest against one another, and please our supreme ...... Lord of hosts."

Hearing this, the young man's voice from the red snake suddenly lowered:

"War, fighting each other...... Won't the fate of our race change? ”

Because the dragons have the talent to cocoon themselves and return after death, the entire dragon clan has become happy to fight and war, much to Konstantin's dislike.

This time, Norton didn't answer his brother's soliloquy.

But he knows the answer to this question.

With supreme power, everything can change.

Even though...... It is their cursed fate.

……

……

"I'm sorry, Konstantin."

The metal dragon body made of divine gold was covered in scars, and looking at the black-haired boy who seemed to him to be the size of a grain of rice, Norton lowered his proud head, "I couldn't ...... Protect you. ”

He never thought that the war he had foreseen would start with his younger brother, who was gentle with everyone.

The red serpent's mountain-like body has been completely dissolved in the Chaotic Primordial Sea.

The only thing that remains today is the black-haired boy who has lost his limbs, wields the body of a dwarf, and will never grow into a full dragon body again.

"It's okay."

The whole body was soaked in the crystal cup, and Konstantin's voice remained soft, without any complaints.

He just smiled and looked at his brother, and said softly, "I have become smaller, and looking at my brother like this, it is as if my brother has suddenly become as big as Fenrir...... But other than that, we're still the same as before, aren't we? ”

The enraged Lord of Fire bowed his head.

The bronze body has no tears.

……

……

"After the agreed date, where does my brother want to go?"

"You can be anywhere in this universe."

"Don't you want Svartalfheim and Muspelheim?"

"As long as you're with me."

"Well, my brother can definitely do it."

"I ...... too Will definitely do it. ”

However, after 10,000 years, everything he has is still different from the years when he was huddled together in the frozen soil but did not dare to get close to each other, full of unforgettable ice, wind and cold snow.

Sitting in the bronze palace with his brother, he watched the pain of drinking wine and watching him torn to pieces in front of him......

This beautiful memory, the traces of sadness, have not faded at this moment.

It's just those wordless loves, and the hatred that dare not forget......

Now all of them flowed out of the broken soul gap, pouring into the abyss of nothingness.

His porcelain-strewn body began to turn into fine sand, no longer able to support his standing, and the once eternal candlelight had dimmed in the golden pupils that were gradually losing their lustre.

But in this last moment, Norton remained the same as he was cold.

There is no sentimentality, and there is no remorse.

Exhaling the last breath in his lungs and looking at the end of the sunset, he said softly in a cold and detached voice:

"When the mountains and seas are still in full swing, the dragon is also dust."

"Is there an end to the god of death?"

After the dragon king with the candle dragon as his foreign minister finished his last words, in Xia Mi's suddenly silent expression, the broken body completely turned into a handful of red sand and scattered on the ground.

Then, with the cool breeze at the water's edge, it blows into the tranquil bay illuminated by dusk.

- In the summer of 2008, Norton, the "Lord of Bronze and Fire".

- [Death]

PS: Norton's last words mean: "The mountains and the sea will have an end, and the candle dragon will also turn into ashes, will the god who is in charge of death have a day of death?" (Note: Jörmungandr is the god of the dead among the dragons)

PS2: Okay, the fourth one, and one more, I definitely changed it before going to bed, but I feel that it may not be possible to ensure the quality of writing before 12 o'clock (
