"Where did these Spirits came from, Alice?" I asked her.

"Hmmm… Analyzing it out won't yield many results, why not ask the one with authority here?" She wondered. "Dungeon System, don't be shy and come out."

FLASH!

Suddenly a little cubic-shaped System appeared.

[The [Dungeon System] explains that Spirits are born naturally from this Dungeon… Any floor.]

[They are Lesser Worldly Spirits though, not the same as Strong Spirits that can be made contracts with!]

[However, due to their sheer number, they can be a force to be reckoned by when controlled by the Saint of Spirits…]

[Nonetheless, they make it possible for each Floor to be so filled with life and elements, and nature.]

[In a way, this Dungeon is very unique compared to any other Dungeon, as it is developing similarly to a "World".]

[This is because the Dungeon is being made below the powers of the reconstructed Dungeon System and not through the limits of your world.]

"I see… The Dungeon System and the Quest System were scratched elements of the original System, Alice, right?" I wondered. "It's interesting how much that guy that made you added things over. What was his name again?"

"Samsara." Alice said. "And indeed, because I was his first creation, he added many things. He was thinking on creating an "Ultimate System"… I don't know if he ever accomplished such a ridiculous feat. But the only reason I've been able to bring these powers out is thanks to you, Sylphy."

"Nah, well, I just slain monsters and gave you EXP, nothing too big of a deal." I giggled a bit. "Oh! Anyways, we should go bring this guy back home! Everyone, come with me! Let's bring him back home!"

"Oh, the cave drake?" Zack asked. "Why should we care anyways- Ouch!"

"Don't be a meanie, he's scared!" Mist said angrily, giving Zack a little karate chop in the head.

"Big sis! Big sis! Can we ride him?" Zephy asked politely.

"Sure thing! Hey, can you bring them over your back?" I asked the Cave Drake.

"Grooohhh…" He gave out a gentle groan.

"You can!" I nodded, as Zephy and Celica quickly climbed over his huge turtle-like shell.

Once they were riding the Cave Drake, and the creature started moving, the two were amazed and happy, giggling at everything happening.

"Wooow… So cool! I never thought I could be carried by such a big creature before!" Zephy was really enjoying it.

"Hehehe, it's nice!" Celica giggled, suddenly holding Zephy's hand. "Let's hold hands so you don't fall, Zephy!"

"E-Eh? S-Sure…" Zephy swallowed a bit of saliva as he blushed.

They were so cute!

"Okay, let's go then!" Aquarina was pumped up. "We'll get this kid back to his mom!"

"Yeah!" I celebrated.

"I guess we'll go too, might as well explore the place." Zack shrugged.

"I want to see the big dragon Sylphy talked about!" Mist was excited.

"A big dragon, huh?" Wondered Celeste.

"W-Wait for me, Lara, you're running too fast!" Luck was running behind Lara.

"Carry me to the skies, Dragon Spirits!" Lara giggled.

She had discovered a new type of Spirit near the mountain, the incredibly rare Dragon Spirits, formed out of Draconic Runes and Elements, they fused together into a small, winged dragon carrying her.

Their fusion was temporary though, but they were sure friendly with Lara! Honestly she's quite carefree, and I can tell why though, every spirit always does their best to protect her and help her, so she has a very lax approach to life…

You could say she's spoiled by the spirits!

We entered the depths of the Dragon Nest Mountain Caves, walking inside and finding out many other creatures wandering around.

Colorful, blue-colored Small Blue Drakes were running around, with nimbler bodies and rapid movements.

There were also snake-like dragons moving around, waiting to catch a big prey.

And then, there was a gigantic thing slowly munching on the mountains rocks, it was so huge and was frog-shaped, but with scales and tiny horns on top!

"W-What is that thing?!" Aquarina was amazed by the strange creature.

"Oh, that? That's the Ore-Swallowing Great Cave Drake!" I laughed. "It eats ores and is the strongest of the Cave Drakes-"

"Raarr!" The Cave Drake ran towards the huge behemoth.

However, the Ore-Swallowing Great Cave Drake simply gave him a glance and then ignored him…

That thing wasn't his mother, that's for sure.

"Graaahh…" The little Cave Drake sighed.

"That's not your mom, dummy, it looks too different!" Giggled Celica.

"Poor thing, you really don't remember how she looked like?" Zephy wondered, caressing the creature's head.

"Raarrr…"

"Don't worry, we'll find your mom." I smiled.

We kept wandering around the beautiful interior, filled with life and all sorts of ores and crystals we mined for selling or for making up new equipment.

The Cave Drake constantly ran into new Cave Drake variants we found, but none recognized him, and ignored him.

It took us several minutes, almost an hour, but finally, we reached a huge area near the largest interior lava lake.

In there, we found a huge herd of identical looking Cave Drakes!

"It might be this place!" I said. "Go!"

Zephy and Celica quickly walked down from the little guy, as he ran towards his parents. He groaned around, until finally, two big Cave Drakes walked towards him.

"Grooohhh…"

"Grrrhhh…"

The two were his mom and dad, and began to rub their long necks on him, and then licking his face… He was very happy, groaning cutely.

"It's nice that you meet them! Don't get lost again, okay?" I asked him from afar.

"Graaah!" The little Cave Drake groaned happily, as he walked away with the rest of the herd.

"Make sure to not get lost again!" Mist said with a smile.

"Well, that's that then." Zack nodded. "How about we have a picnic? I'm starving!"

"When aren't you starving?" Luck asked.

"Hey! You're the same too, aren't you? I bet your belly is groaning right now." Zack smiled cockily.

"Y-You…!" Luck felt embarrassed, but he was right, I could hear his belly groaning, he was hungry.

"Then let's have a picnic before going back home! I've got something to tell everyone."
