[Draconica] Coronation of the 2nd High Drake

Post by nexxusdrako »

35,000 people gathered at High Square in Drake this afternoon to celebrate the coronation of the new High Drake, Nexxus Drako.

The start of the service involved a recital of the High Drake oath, followed by an orchestral rehearsal of "The High Drake Cometh".

The middle of the service involved Nexxus recieving various titles and gifts from the leaders of the 31 clans of Draconica before ending in a transfer of the Drake Crown from Larkona Nerror's next of kin Pataka Nerror. However, Pataka could not make the event, so he left his sister Merlor to do the job. Just as Merlor was about to place the crown over Nexxus' head, Gunfire was heard and three guards were struck down before the gunman fired shots at Nexxus. The 4 shots missed Nexxus, but 1 hit Merlor in the head, which killed her just as the crown was places and Nexxus stood back.

The gunman, who was wearing a balaclava was tackled by Drake Guard member Perore Nanika, who is being hailed as a hero after the event, and the balaclava was removed, revealing the gunman to be Pataka Nerror, seemingly jealous at being passed over for the High Drake position. He was then taken to the court to be judged by the crime computer, and then taken to Mankapol Maximum Security Prison for a life sentence with no parole.

Shocked, but still in high spirits, the coronation continued after Merlor's body was removed and a shocked and greiving Kalaon Nerror took his older sister's place. The High Drake oath was recited once more and then the High Feast began at the High Palace. The festivities continued on well into the night.
