respected by the community for her kindness and sense of honour, said with a worried expression
on her face. “When Umbera was defeated, the entire population of elemental dragons succumbed,
or so we thought, because you are the last elemental dragon, and not just any one, you are the son
of The King, Cassius.’
“Umbera, The Dark One, will soon be released from his prison, and you are the only one who
can stop him.”
Aefaria felt so angry that no one, especially Gobi, had told him who he really was, or who his
parents were, or what his destiny was! But then again, he had to make use of the sacrifices his
parents and other creatures had made, he could not run away from his destiny. He had to face it!
Deep down in the barren wastelands, Umbera’s evil soul had dwelled there for almost a century.
Now, he was finally free! Umbera’s soul soared upwards, and when it finally reached the surface,
shadowy vapour formed itself into his terrifying form.” Now, I will finally exact my revenge!’
Umbera growled. He laughed, and his laughter could be heard resonating throughout the region.
Then, Umbera sensed a presence. It was Aefaria, ready to face him. Umbera’s eyes nearly
popped out of his head and the shadowy tendrils surrounding him swirled uneasily.” You! I knew
I should have killed you when you were still young and naïve, royal brat!’ “ I am here to cleanse
the world of you Umbera!’ The two dragons launched themselves at each other and started the epic
battle between good and evil.
Gobi had led the townsfolk into safety, and now was wondering what was happening to her
foster son. She told them to go on first, and flew to the wasteland hurriedly.
When Gobi arrived, she saw Umbera had pinned down Aefaria, and was ready to issue the
killing blow.”Noooo!’ She then chanted an explosion spell.
What happened? Umbera, Gobi and Aefaria were killed in the explosion, their bodies not
found. The barren land where Umbera was imprisoned and everywhere around it was created into
a desert. Aefaria’s body made the different parts of a desert, such as the oasis and sand dunes, the
parts of Umbera, the treacherous snakes found there and the parts of Gobi making the plants and
exotic creatures and the famous Silk Road. To this day, this desert is called the Gobi desert after
Genobia, and Aefaria and Genobia’s spirits live on forever.
