They arrived at the dungeon deep underneath the castle; it was a lot deeper than the normal dungeons, void of any light. Silva had to walk there with a torch, and so did Drake. They walked through the short, dark hallway until they made it to the door of the dungeon. Inside were two people chained to the walls, Oliver and the prince. They looked weak and malnourished, even though they had been eating. Silva knocked on the iron bars to draw their attention. They both tried to look up but were too weak to do so. "Oliver, and what's his name. It's been a while since we have seen each other. I'm sure you must have been expecting me by now," Silva said. "Cough, cough. Silva?" Oliver managed to ask. He looked up and saw Silva's face under the illumination of the torch. "There is no need for talks or for sentiments. Normally, I would have made you sign a contract in service to me. But sadly, I have no use for you. You both lack talent, and also, you have been nuisances to me. So today, your pain and torture end, but I'll not be as evil as to also destroy your soul. I'll let you have the chance of reincarnation. I do hope that in your next life, you'll make the best out of it," Silva said and turned away. "Drake, deal with them," Silva said. Drake faced them and created two blood spears. He shot them into the dungeon and into the heads of Oliver and the what's-his-name prince, instantly taking their lives. The blood spears transformed into blood lotuses and covered both of them, degrading their bodies into nothing. Drake turned away and walked out of the dungeon. The last people that had been an issue to Silva in the last kingdom were finally dead. Now, it was time to look to the future. Silva saw Dawn, Lily, Roxy, Lia, his brothers, and Aaron there as well, seated close to him. For some reason, he felt uncomfortable from the way Dawn and Roxy were looking at him, but he pushed the thought to the back of his head. The person anchoring the occasion immediately announced the presence of Silva and asked that he come to the stage. Silva got up from his chair and walked up to the raised platform. He looked at the crowd and cleared his throat. A special magical formation allowed his voice to reach everyone. "A month. It has only been a month since the creation of this training program, and a few more than a month since Dark Dragon was created. At first, many of you were skeptical, not sure how your lives would be living close to other races. Would a goblin attack you? Would an ogre steal your child? All those thoughts crossed your minds. But when we came together, we came to see that things aren't as we were told. These beasts only fight us because they, too, want to survive, the same way that you want to survive. I'm grateful for everyone that has lived here and is now happy living here. It may not be perfect, but we have made a change that has been seen nowhere before. We have created a place where all creatures can live and be free. But for such a place to keep going, we need the best security that we can get. We need those who will stand and fight for the sake of keeping this new world we have created. And on that note, today, we are graduating the first set of soldiers, trained and prepared for battle. They have been through hell for the sake of giving you happiness and safety. They have been through fire and water, proving that they are real fighters. They didn't allow their race or gender to cause them issues. They carried themselves as brothers in arms. And now today, on this special day, which is my birthday, they will become the army that fights for us. So, in every year that comes, when it is my birthday, everyone will recall the day that the army that fights for Dark Dragon was created. You are all great soldiers, and as a king and demon king candidate, I am happy to see all of you come this far. Thank you."
