Chapter 1117: Cap 1115: You Saved Me Just By Existing

I was talking to the new White Elf Queen before I left, she hadn't been turned into an Ancient Elf yet, but that was by her own choice, she says she wants to train to control the power the World Tree shares with her before to ascend into an Ancient Elf if that is her wish I respect your wish.

Anyway, there are others on the Floating Isle who have already become Old Elves and can take care of her transformation on their own, what matters is that the Elves' problems are no longer my concern.

Each of the 3 World Trees on that continent already have several individuals who have become Ancient Elves, things can now walk on their own without Freya's interference or mine preferably.

When I say goodbye to the White Elf village, I return to the port city that has a lake of clouds instead of real water.

I said goodbye to those I knew in the city, it seems that there is still time to rebuild the city since the attack that the Church of Luz made some time ago, but they have people for that.

I left the others doing the preparations with the ship that was already looking different once again, now with some metal plates in some areas and it seems that they decided to repaint the ship in a dark blue like the night sky together with stars, the sails of the Ships seem to emit space element energy instead of the wind magic from before, they also painted an Eclipse on the ship's sails, meanwhile on the wooden deck and inside the ship ornaments of Dragons were everywhere.

It was now pretty easy to identify whose ship it was for anyone I ever encountered, but I have to say that drawing attention now isn't something I mind too much, after everything I've been through I'm more inclined to let things take their course while it's not a nuisance, there's no use trying to avoid drawing attention to my case, so I'd rather put it aside for the sake of my heart's health when everything inevitably goes wrong.

Nira seems to have managed to help people in the port city with building materials, while I've been away taking care of other things, she's always very responsible, I'd like to give her a vacation, but if I bring that up I'll get another punch in the face like first time I suggested.

With everything ready, we were leaving when a Fairy of Light that we already knew appeared flying at high speed towards us, it was someone that we already knew before and was accompanied, it was Lux, a friend of Luminus and a Fairy Queen of Light.

In the past I couldn't even measure the distance between our forces, the same could be said about Luminus, but after climbing so much in strength our difference is not that big anymore, I still wasn't on their level, that's for sure, but the distance it was something he could see clearly.

I was thinking about these things as I managed to follow Lux's movements with my eyes as I allowed her to board the ship, as soon as she landed people looked at her and her companion for only a second before they went back to their tasks.

I walk over and say hello to the two before asking them to come in, being polite to a visitor at your home is the basic thing a person should do, I took Lux and her partner to a room where the table was already being set by Freya.

On the way I looked at Dragonewt who came beside Lux, her strength was far below me, but it wasn't the difference in strength that caught my attention, it wasn't the beauty of this woman either, but her white scales, element of Light Pure in his Aura and the mark of the Church of Light on his chest.

But even so, it was strange that she didn't have hostility towards me in her Aura even though I have a heretic title for her religion which makes all of them feel natural hostility towards me.

"Don't worry about her, actually she's the reason I'm here." (Lux)

Pov Magnus:

I was trying to meditate for a few hours now, it was one of the first things that my mother taught me, in terms of meditation she was better than my father, that's because her powers were more about affecting the mind and Soul, which needed great control emotional and mental to use efficiently.

As I started early with this I prided myself on being my greatest strength, but now I can't get into a meditative state even after hours of trying.

Sigh

"Magnus, that's my name now." (I)

"My best wishes on your release and new name, Mister Magnus." (Mabel)

"How you recognized me... I understand, to be here accompanied by my Father, you must have heard about me." (I)

"A Fairy Queen named Lux brought her..." (Zenos)

"I didn't need others to tell me, I've spent my whole life looking into her eyes, I recognize you no matter how much you change." (Mabel)

"No need to be formal with me, you were the only one to come back more than once or try to communicate with me, in my view there is no need for formalities between us." (I)

"You were there at one of the most horrible points in my life and you were there by my side for that you have my eternal gratitude." (I)

"You are wrong, my being there was my eternal gratitude for existing, my lord." (Mabel)

"My mother was persecuted by our people and took refuge with the Dragons of Light beside the Church of Light." (Mabel)

"I was taught from an early age about the history of the Dragons and the Church of Light, but in my mind, I always thought there was something wrong, the reasons for many great battles were so simple and superficial." (Mabel)

"I didn't agree with anything I was taught, but I couldn't speak or show how I thought, I saw others being punished for what I myself wanted to do by expressing my doubts." (Mabel)

"Everyone was always pushing me, but I could see that I wasn't the only one having doubts when I was younger, but gradually the anger at being rejected by those of their own race made those like my mother count other races instead of reflecting on yourself." (Mabel)

"At a young age, I found myself isolated with people around me insisting on everything I didn't agree with, I couldn't sleep and before long my growing fear of those around me made me see them differently, illusions caused by the fears of a child and there was no one who could understand about me, there was no refuge for me even in my house with the mother who had changed to someone who I could no longer recognize being there..." (Mabel)

"That's when I was taken to the Hall of Penance as it was called, an abandoned place in ruins and dust, the only thing there being a giant Crystal containing a Dragon I had never seen before." (Mabel)

I saw tears in her eyes as she closed her eyes before continuing her story, I still remembered the child I saw that day, how can I forget the only child, the only person who in thousands of years asked if I was okay.

"As soon as I saw that Dragon my eyes filled with tears, my mother thought it was about the fear of such Penance, but the truth was otherwise, I saw in those eyes staring at me a boundless sadness." (Mabel)

"The story my mother told me that day was criticizing the fact that you went against the Lord... I mean, the former Dragon King Rhaegal." (Mabel)

"My mother spoke criticizing his attempts to go against his Father and his entire Tribe, but in my ears, I heard the story of a hero who, despite being surrounded by people with contrary thoughts that he knew would end in a terrible mistake, fought alone without to be gripped by the same fear that I felt consuming me every day." (Mabel)

"You saved me that day just by existing, finally I wasn't alone, finally I had a safe place to go back to..." (Mabel)

I couldn't feel her Aura due to my inability to control my own Aura, but it wasn't necessary, I had heard her say that before, but this time I can respond to her words.

"I think we both helped each other then, for your presence was the only comfort in my heart for thousands of years." (I)
