Chapter 22 - [Bonus ] The Legend Of The Realm Of Myths(Part 2)

(Love)

It has been five years since they came to the forest. All the friends are now adults.

As days passed, they became more attached to the place. It's not just them. But the other beautiful creatures too.

Lucia was sitting under the shade of a tree speaking with the Guardian Dragon.

"You can use magic, right? I wonder if you can be like us?"

"You mean this?"

Gasp*

The beautiful dragon then transformed into a human with long golden hair and golden eyes.

Lucia: "Y-You… How are you a human?"

Pfft~

"Are you surprised?"

"I-I didn't know you could do that!"

Lucia flushed and said.

"Is that so? There's nothing I can't do.."

"Y-Yes."

"But why are you red, Lucia?"

"I-I am not."

"Oh, really?"

"Y-Yes."

"Look at me. Am I not handsome?"

"You are beautiful."

"Emriar."

"Huh?"

"Call my name, Lucia."

"Em-Emriar."

Lucia blushed and said.

Chuckle*

"Yes. Like that."

Emriar took a strand of her long purple hair and kissed it.

That was the start of the love between a beautiful human girl and the Guardian Dragon.

After Emriar transformed into a human, the other magical creatures also learned to transform.

Zalcoatl: "Now that you all have Human form, we should call you Beastmen."

Igneel: "That's a cool name! Right, Jenet?"

Jenet: "Yes. It is."

Earth: "True! I think we should also build houses. We can live there together."

Ijiraq: "Right! Earth can make the base. Igneel can make it strong using fire."

Zalcoatl: "I can create the structure."

Emriar: "I can turn it into Gold."

Ordona: "I can make it look shinier."

"We can help you build the shape."

The shapeshifters added.

Like that, they build the Golden Castle of the Realm of Myths.

"What are you thinking, Lucia?"

"I think we should plant a tree here."

"A tree?"

"Yes."

"Is this okay?"

Emriar grew a large tree using magic.

"Not like this!"

"Huh? Then how?"

"Let's plant one together, with everyone."

"Okay. As you wish."

After that, all of them planted a seed. And everyone blessed it with their magical energy.

Emriar: "Grow Gracefully."

And the seed soon turned into a beautiful tree.

Igneel: "Be happy."

The leaves of the tree started rustling.

Ordona: "Be the light, when it's dark."

Jenet: "You will have beautiful flowers."

Blue flowers bloomed and filled the tree.

Ijiraq: "You will survive no matter what the surroundings are like."

Lucia: "..."

Emriar: "What did you say, Lucia?"

Lucia smiled and replied,

"That's a secret."

After that, everyone gave their blessings one by one. And soon it was his turn.

Zalcoatl: "Can I name it?"

Emriar: "Sure."

Zalcoatl: "Zylbon… the Wisdom Tree."

A bright light shone and soon a face was seen on the Wisdom Tree.

Gasp*

Everyone gasped in surprise.

"Wow~"

"Amazing!"

"It has a face!"

"It's cute~"

"I know right."

"Th-Thank you for the blessing."

Zylbon said shyly.

"Uwaa~ It can talk too!"

"Cool~"

"You are a genius, Zalcoatl!"

"I know right!"

After that, to celebrate the birth of the Wisdom tree a feast was held.

It's night.

Wohoo~

But the area under the wisdom tree was filled with everyone's cheer and chatter.

Some were eating. Some were singing and some were dancing. Some were drinking their heart's content. And some were confessing their feelings to the one they loved.

"Lucia!"

"Emriar."

"Let's go."

"Huh? But where?"

"Just come with me."

"Ah. Okay "

After that, Emriar grabbed Lucia's hand and took her to a distant place.

"Everyone looks so happy?"

"They do."

Kyaa~

Suddenly Emriar took Lucia in his arms. Lucia tightly hugged Emriar's neck.

"What are you doing?! Put me down! Hurry!"

"No!"

Kyaa~

And both of them started floating in the air.

"It's scary!"

"Lucia. Look."

"No!"

Said Lucia while tightly closing her eyes.

"Just open your eyes and see."

"Ah! Okay."

Lucia slowly opened her eyes.

Gasp*

"Wow~ So beautiful!"

"Isn't it?"

They were under a large glowing cherry blossom tree.

Bam*

Lucia punches Emriar in the chest.

"You- Why did you fly then?"

"I wasn't flying."

"What?"

"It was necessary to teleport here."

"You mean, you can't teleport without flying in the air?"

"I can."

"You-"

Bam* Bam*

Lucia kept punching Emriar in the chest.

Ouch*

Emriar groaned while clutching his chest.

"D-Does it hurt? I- I am sorry."

Lucia panicked and said.

"Yes. It does."

"Uh. Wh-What am I supposed to do?"

"There is only one thing. But I don't think you can do it."

"Tell me what is it? I will do it."

"Sure?"

"Of course!"

"Close your eyes."

"Huh? But-"

"See~ I told you that you couldn't."

"Okay. Okay. I am closing my eyes."

Emriar went close to her and put his lips on her.

Lucia's eyes widened. Her entire face turned red.

"Mmm…"

But instead of letting her go, Emriar tightly held her waist.

"Mm… Emri-"

Lucia grabbed his hair. But Emriar didn't budge.

Soon she gave up and started responding to his kiss.

They started taking deep breaths after the passionate kiss.

Huff* Huff*

"You are drunk."

"No! I am not."

Huff* Huff*

"Lucia…"

Emriar whispered near her ear.

"I love you…"

And then they started kissing again.

"Emriar-"

"Shh~ Don't talk. You will be mine today, Lucia…"

And they passed a passionate night under the lovely cherry blossoms tree.
