Chapter 318: Heading to the Village of Dragons
[Luna POV]
Several days have passed. Over this time, we all got to know our draconic hosts better, though in the Dusk department, I lost the bet with Tamamo. Soleil and I failed to completely befriend her, though we did make progress. I had also gained several levels, reaching level 96 just this morning. At this current moment, we were all making our way to the village near the tree. The reason for this is that a message was sent to the sisters to let the others meet the visitors. We did have some apprehension about going due to a certain old dragon that wasnt very happy, but in the end, we decided to go for it.
Hey Luna, are you absolutely sure that your friends are going to be safe? (Nian)
Yes. None of us are so weak that well be killed by some old man dragon. Though now that I really think about it, I hope I dont have to actually kill him. I mean, his anger and irritation is justified in a way. (Luna)
Thats weird. Big sis not wanting to kill something that attacks her first. Did you eat something weird? (Soleil)
Hey, if Im given absolutely no choice but to kill him, I will and I wont lose any sleep over it, but if it can be resolved by some light smacking around, then that works too. (Luna)
Either way its going to turn into a fight. (Velvet)
Its highly likely. (Skadi)
Not highly, guaranteed. Master most likely just wants to fight a dragon. (Ophidia)
That is a very Lunya thing to do nya. (Mio)
If a thirst for battle has taken hold of you, any of us three would gladly quinch it for you. While all in our race are abundant in power, we sisters three hold more than most, yet there remains several to which we pale in comparison. (Ling)
In other words, if you wanted to fight a dragon, we would gladly oblige to spar. (Dusk)
Also, while we are considered very strong, even to dragon standards, there are others that are way more powerful than us, old Reverious being one of them. Though if its just you, Luna, that fights him, then it probably wont even be considered a fight. (Nian)
While that last point is true, I want to at least have one semi-serious fight with a dragon, just to say that Ive done so. And while I dont mean to disparage you three or your strength, but its a different feeling when sparring and a real fight. (Luna)
Big sis, your slight battle mania is coming out again. (Soleil)
I though you were over that? (Velvet)
I did too. Guess theres still a little part of it left. Anyway- (Luna)
Just before I could get back on topic, I felt space distort near us. Readying myself in case it was an attack I stopped moving and prepared to cast magic before the cause of the feeling appeared.
The tall, green haired, oni-like Space Spirit King, Hoshi, sleepily waked towards us.
Who are you? (Nian)
[Shh, little dragon, I dont have business with you, but with my Goddess.] (Hoshi)
Its been a while, Hoshi. Why are you here? I havent been breaking space any more, or at least to my knowledge. (Luna)
[Im not here for that, oh Goddess mine, but to make a request of you.] (Hoshi)
Ill listen, but me actually doing it depends on what it is. (Luna)
{Luna, we all know that you are most likely going to do it, so why even act like you arent?}
Because thats what youre supposed to say when someone requests something of you? (Luna)
Why is that a question? (Skadi)
[Goddess, please take this seriously, it affects you as well after all.] (Hoshi)
Well, its good to know that weve been living our lives with the freedom of will and not being dictated by Fate, though now Im curious about what parts she meddled with. I can only remember one, and that was when Luna got her second tail. (Velvet)
Fufu. That feels so long ago now, but also like it was yesterday. (Luna)
While I basked in my reminiscence we stepped off the path we were walking on. In front of us rose buildings that looked like they were ripped from ancient China and Japan. They looked majestic and gave off a feeling of walking back through time, even if it was a different world.
This place looks amazing. (Luna)
Yeah. Makes me want to paint it. (Soleil)
Really? You could do much better than this never-changing place. (Dusk)
Dusk, you must remember that our friends from afar have not lived with scenery like what we have spent centuries seeing. (Ling)
Yeah, this place isnt something Ive seen around the mortal world, and the only place that can beat it is the Divine Domain, but thats just my opinion as someone whose been to both. (Skadi)
I have to say that the Divine Domain has it beat nya. (Mio)
Isnt it not fair to compare the two since one place is literally built by gods and goddesses? (Ophidia)
(Skadi)
(Mio)
Hey, are we going in or not? (Nian)
Were coming. (Luna)
We started to walk once more as I had feelings of anticipation in my heart for the encounters to come in this new place full of dragons, as well as a feeling that things were about to change.
Chaos Realm:
Tamamo: *Stares at the screen with anticipation*
Tamamo, calm down.
Tamamo: I am calm, just nervously excited since she's so close. You don't realize how much I've wanted this to happen all these years. Sometimes I even wanted to just forcefully keep Luna with me after the full moon.
Order: We all know. You don't hide it very well when it comes to Luna.
Astraea: Miss Tama is like Evelyn.
Tamamo: How so?
Astraea: She gets the same pretty look when we're together. Hehehe. And it's all mine. Hehehehehehehe.
Order, you better get Crisis here immediately. She's teaching our daughter strange things, I just know it.
Order: Already on it. I knew it wasn't a good idea to let her babysit them both while Mordred was away.
Tamamo: Then why did you still do it?
Order: I have things that I want to do with Payto without Astraea here. It's just this time that desire won over my caution.
Tamamo: I see.
