-2 Prelude (1/2)
The calm night sky was lit by the two full moons high in the sky.
Flying far above the clouds was a massive beast with a long, sleek tail and wings with mirrored scales that reflected the moonlight and the stars. His white body glowed, seeming to be all-powerful and everlasting.
Though he was unmatched in strength, the worry showed on his face as he thought about how he would break the news to his lifelong friend upon arrival.
It didn't take him long to reach his destination with his incredible speed and he descended from the clouds to reach a tall mountain peak. There laid a giant ape in the middle of a nap, undisturbed by nature.
The dragon broke the silence and said, ”I can see you're very busy Azar, should I come back another time?”
”Huh? Can't you see I'm catching up on my beauty sleep? Try me again in another year or so,” said Azar as he rolled over.
”I haven't seen you in centuries and this is how you treat your old friend? I even brought some wine to share as we talk,” the void gem embedded in the dragon's golden bracer lit up as a vast pitcher of wine and two goblets appeared from within it.
”Now you're speaking my language!” Azar sat up and served himself without hesitation. ”So, what's so important that you've come to talk to an old friend like me?”
Dominus got a good look at Azar, reminding him of the many struggles they shared for countless years.
He had always admired Azar and his abilities but had always been baffled by his sudden laziness upon reaching the highest cultivation level in the divine class. He would even dodge any questions about him cultivating and training further towards the final breakthrough, leaving Dominus as the only cultivator to step into the realm of creation, the realm of strength beyond the divine class.

”Azar, why won't you push for a breakthrough? The purpose of cultivating is becoming the strongest through training yourself and continually absorbing more energy into your body. Clearly, you have the ability to break through, but you don't. I've asked you millions of times and you've never once satisfied me with an answer. Why is that?” Dominus cut to the chase.
”I'm not sure myself,” the still drinking Azar replied, ”I guess I just haven't felt very motivated lately.”
Dominus snapped at Azar's casualness, ”You, not motivated to get stronger? Who are you again? You're Azar, the Primordial-tyrant Ape. If it wasn't for you, I never would've reached the creation class or been able to get where I am now. I fought tooth and nail to breakthrough from the mortal class into the divine class and become a perennial level expert. With time I finally became a king level cultivator and became the ruler of my own region. It was there that I met you, who survived my full power attack while still as a perennial. From that moment on we began to work together, protecting one another as we carved our own path and eventually both became god-level beings at the peak of the divine class. You were the first to become a god, yet I was the one who broke through to creation first thanks to your much-needed protection during the process. And here I am, still waiting after thousands of years and you still haven't even attempted the breakthrough. Why not join me?”
Azar put down his goblet after hearing Dominus' invitation and thought carefully about his response. It took a few moments before Azar poured Dominus some wine and passed it to him.
The dragon accepted it, using his powers as a creator to lift the goblet with his mind and drink the entire thing in one gulp. When he placed the goblet back down, Azar gave his response.
