Reborn as a DRAGON

Chapter 190: The Great mother

Chapter 190: The Great mother

The earth mana revolved around me, filling my sight no matter the direction I looked. It was faint, but I could still pick up traces of the other elements swirling about. But it was as if someone or something was interfering with my perception, making it harder for me to locate the other elements.

"Another illusion, It seems," I muttered out loud.

My voice surprisingly; came out much louder than I intended. It reverberated throughout the castle hallways. I eyed my surroundings in curiosity waiting for the lady of the hour, the mysterious great mother to show up.

As if to answer my summons, the hallway where I stood shifted out of reality, a second later I was standing in a library. My eyes subconsciously drifted downwards, where a pair of human legs greeted me. I was dressed in simple grey robes, with my feet left barefoot. It took me a second to regain my bearings, as I got used to my sudden shift in point of view.

The whole scenario reminded me of when my grandmother turned me back into a human for the first time. The only difference this time was that I knew everything was fake. I slowly brought my hands before my eyes and studied them in curiosity. The sensation of tender flesh was disorienting.

'A high-level illusion, as expected of a so-called great mother.'

Turning my attention away from my hands, I eyed the library with a frown. It was hard to find a point of weakness in the illusion. No traces of mana that I could pull at, nor any indication that I was indeed in one in the first place. Taking a wobbly step forward, I slowly staggered to the shelf on my right, using my hands as support.

The feeling of a human body was a bit too real this time. It was harder for me to orient myself. By the time I finally began figuring out the hang of it, the door to the library suddenly swung open. Turning around in curiosity, a young adult human girl walked in. She had dark red hair that was cut short and ocean blue eyes that seemed to shine almost. Her face was flushed as she stepped into the room panting.

"There you are! I have been looking for you, why did you not wait for me?" She asked as she hurriedly closed the door behind her. Not waiting for my reply, the girl rushed to grab a book from the shelves and then turned toward me.

"This is what I've been telling you about! The fall of Andila, the final battle of Piya. Everything is here." She said with a beaming smile, waving the thick book in front of me.

The girl didn't wait for me to speak before she continued, "Oh he was so beautiful, I tell you. I was lucky to be there you know? The first battle was too fast, but I still wrote down everything I witnessed. But the best part was the battle of Piya. I was waiting for him you know, I knew he would appear. And he did not disappoint. Oh, how I wished you could have seen what I have. He was truly magnificent! Now you might be wondering, 'Oh, Lana, how do you know it's a he?' Well, my dear Will, trust me when I say you would know if you have seen what I have," She said with a wink and nudged my side with a perverted smile.

'The battle of Piya? the fall of Andila? Isn't this the kingdom I destroyed? So she's a survivor? But how come she looks so... excited?' A sudden shiver ran down my spine as I stared at the seemingly innocent redhead.

"Will, what's wrong? How come you're not saying anything?"

Before I could speak, the space before me shifted once again as I found myself back inside the castle, only this time, I was in my dragon form standing before a massive throne. My eyes scanned my surroundings, yet to my surprise, I could see no wall, just an endless white space instead.

Turning my attention back to the throne, I carefully studied the figure seated cross-legged there. A tall impressive fairy, with light golden skin and four translucent wings on her back. Her eyes were akin to a black hole. It was as if they were able to suck in whoever dared look at them directly. Her hair was the same color as her skin, it flowed freely on her chest hiding her private parts.

As I stood there staring at her, she did the same to me. Of all of her unique features, what surprised me the most was her abnormal height. I did not know if it was an illusion or not, but the great mother was as tall if not taller than me by a little. A strange smile was hanging on her face as she leaned on her hand and spoke:

"It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Aether." Her voice was strangely hypnotic. It was as if thousands of people were speaking at the same time, yet it still managed to come out in harmony.

"A pleasure to meet you as well. I assume you would be the great mother?"

A chuckle escaped her lips, as she replied: "Please, call me Celeste."

Nodding, I spoke:

"Well then, Celeste, I must confess, I'm a little bit confused."

"Did you not like my gift, Son of Chaos?"

"Son of what now? And what gift are you talking about?" I questioned with a frown.

"The vision."

"Wasn't that an illusion?"

"Of course not, I simply helped you see you needed."

"I needed to see, a human?" My frown deepened.

Shrugging her shoulders, the fairy continued:

"I have no control over what you see, that is up to you, Son of Chaos."

"You keep saying this, Son of Chaos, what are you talking about?"

Hearing my question, the fairy leaned forward with an unreadable smile and pointed at me before replying: "Why, but I'm talking about you of course. Aether, the cosmic pillar, the Son of Chaos, the ******* "

My eyes widened as I strained to comprehend what she had just said. I heard the words, but I was simply unable to understand their meaning. It felt as if so someone was preventing me from doing so.

"What-?"

The fairy's mouth curled upwards in an unnatural smile, as she waved her hand. "I'm afraid it's time for you to go back, Aether. I look forward to meeting you again."

And with that, everything went dark.
