Chapter 1037 Cap 1035: I Chose My Path, But He Didn't

Pov Aine (Goddess of Fairies):

As I stood before Rhaegal, the former True Dragon Emperor of Light, the traitor to his race and the most hated Dragon alive, I was hearing perhaps the biggest joke of my life.

"Don't be a hypocrite Rhaegal, you caused the death of Arash's family and now you ask your family to be forgiven?" (I)

"Your foolishness knows no bounds." (I)

"Almost all of my family and my Dragon Priests were killed, but they all had the same goal as me, they made their choices along with me." (Rhaegal)

"Even my followers didn't all make the same choice, some chose to follow different paths from me thinking I was wrong." (Rhaegal)

"Only those who chose to follow me joined me that day." (Rhaegal)

"Which didn't change much since because of you all the Dragons of Light were marginalized as traitors." (I)

"You have brought over 4000 years of suffering to the Dragons of Light." (I)

"I would still do the same thing again, I don't regret the decisions I make Fairy Goddess, I only regret the decisions I don't make." (Rhaegal)

"My youngest son tried to stop me until the end, the path of strength he chose was different from the one I see." (Rhaegal)

"I chose the path I'm on and I will walk it to the end wherever the end is." (Rhaegal)

"But he didn't make the same decision as me, in his eyes I may be nothing, I may even seem like someone without pride, but I don't want my son to meet his end when he was the only one in my family to take a different path." (Rhaegal)

A true hypocrite, his actions led to the death of many Fairies of Light and the removal of the Spirits of Light, but now he pleads for his son's life.

"Your joke isn't funny anymore Rhaegal, your son will probably die by his actions, it may not be fair to him but it's destined that you pinned him down." (I)

"Don't look for an opportunity to save your lineage, just by being your son your fate has been doomed." (I)

"I knew this would be the answer, but it was still a decision I needed to make, it was something I owed my son." (Rhaegal)

Maybe it's the first time I've seen a sad look on Rhaegal's face, I'm sure he doesn't think about dying or losing, his sadness is purely for taking away the opportunity for his son to follow his own path, his arrogance for such a thought is as great as ever.

"If that's all you came here for, then get out, I wouldn't want to miss the spectacle of seeing his face stepped on by Arash." (I)

"I know dying by my hand doesn't mean much to you, even if I tortured your will it wouldn't break even when it was torn to pieces." (I)

"But it will be very satisfying when you lose and are humiliated before the one you took so much from, the one you hate so much, it will be magnificent on your expression of despair when you realize that everything you've done was for nothing." (I)

I couldn't help but smile as I imagined that white lizard of light when all your illusions shatter, all the pain, hate and despair that will destroy your will in the moments of your death.

"Smile all you want, Goddess of the Fairies, but everything you expect to happen depends on Arash being stronger than me, I'm not the same as I was in the past and I won't lose to someone like him." (Rhaegal)

"If you allow me, I will return to resume my war preparations." (Rhaegal)

I watch him create a column of light which he uses to exit the Divine Realm of Akatosh, right after he is gone the owner of the place returns falling from the starry sky exactly where the column of light disappeared.

"Have you been here long?" (I)

"No, I just felt him leave and came back, just like I thought, you destroyed my bed." (Akatosh)

I look around, and there were a lot of craters and rubble, even the lake was in very poor condition, it looks like I may have overdone it a bit.

"You must have heard what he said, what do you want to do?" (I)

I may have said many things to Rhaegal, but that was just to make him as bad as possible, the decision about his son is not up to me.

"I'll think about it..." (Akatosh)

"Then I'm going..." (I)

"Is your daughter still there?" (Akatosh)

"Yes, she wants to see why I chose that little one, she must be almost ready to receive my power." (I)

"I will help as I promised." (Akatosh)

"For now let's wait and see how it all unfolds..." (I)

"Zenos has already gone back there, I'm also curious what it will be like from now on..." (Akatosh)

Pov Elizabeth:

I was walking around the city, people might not feel it, but every place emanates Holy power from him, this entire floor of the Dungeon has become holy ground.

"Your Father went far this time..." (I)

"He always goes the distance, but at least this time I managed to benefit a lot." (Nicole)

"You will train with Caitlyn starting tomorrow." (I)

"And before you think about refusing, know that she can make you sleep forever if you disobey, in other words, no more research ever..." (I)

I came to talk to Nicole because the Children of Zenos awakened the Holy power because of the lineage they share with Zenos, not everyone awakened after these 5 days, but everyone will need training, even their Auras have changed a lot and there will be chances of awakening one or more characteristics of the Authority of Zenos.

"Why do you all keep wasting my time...my research is going to stagnate like this." (Nicole)

"Stop complaining, you are immortal, time is something we have plenty of." (I)

Of all his daughters, this one is the worst, so much potential wasted being locked in one place for days.

I'll leave this useless existence with Caitlyn, meanwhile, I'll take care of the Demon and the Priestess once they wake up, I'll leave the sibling duo with Natasha, I think she's thinking the same thing since she went to check on them.

I look at the Communal Temple, it is no longer emitting its Aura, Authority, and power as it did before, even its territory has already disappeared happily, but in compensation what appeared inside the Communal Temple, just remembering it I can't help but crack a smile.

"(You will be so surprised little brother...)" (I)
