The Dragon of Dreams

Chapter 126: A Gate to the Void

Mid Afternoon - Early Summer : Bahamut Estate

"Haah.." -Time to get off my lazy a*s and be productive.. I guess I'll start by figuring out how those void gate things work..-

Making my way through the garden, I came up to the field and sat down in the middle of it. -This is as good of a spot as any..-

"Hooh.." -Lets get started..-

Pulling out some space mana, I did the same as earlier and pushed away the fabric of space to create a sphere around me.

*Vwoom*

As soon as I released it, the sphere just broke apart and returned to the usual grid.

-It didn't pull me through?- I was stumped right off the bat.

I was at a loss for words but that didn't mean I stopped trying.

After several minutes, once I was starting to run out of ideas, I finally found a method that worked.

My vision was quickly wrapped in darkness before fading to mesh with the familiar nebulous sky of the void.

-It worked!-

This time, instead of just releasing the sphere, I forcefully collapsed it inwards.

-So what is the void then?- As I figured out how to get in at my will, I started to question what the void actually was. As I was thinking, I noticed something out of the corner of my eye. -Its the tubes..-

It was the same web of tubes that I saw when we first arrived in Bahamut, the only difference was that I was a bit farther away this time. -But it's not that far..-

As I tried to piece together some sort of theory about what the void was, I came up with a few decent ideas but I wasn't confident in them.

It wasn't till several hours later that I snapped out of my thoughts and realized I should probably go back. -I don't want to miss the lesson with Mother after all..-

But now I had the problem of figuring out how to make a gate to get out.

-Last time I got out, I just created the sphere around me and it worked..-

Once again creating the sphere around me, I quickly finished and released my influence on it.

*Vwoom*

The moment I released it, I watched as it was ripped apart by the crystalline fabric of space trying to forcefully get back to its correct position, it destroyed the sphere I made and dispersed my space mana in the process.

"Ah, so that's how it works.. how fascinating.." -I wonder if it actually needs to be a sphere..-

Although I got lost in my thoughts again, I quickly snapped out of it. -Ah right! The lesson!-

But as I glanced around I noticed it was still day. -Its.. still the afternoon..-

The sun was still high in the sky and even a butterfly that had landed on a nearby flower when I went in was still there.

-Is time.. stopped in the void?-

As the possibility came to mind, I just froze. The decently solid theories I had thought of previously were all shattered beyond recognition.

My mind simply blanked.

"Sir Vasilias." An unfamiliar young woman's voice came from behind me.

-Hm?- Snapping me out of my thoughts, I turned my head around to look over towards the voice.

Behind me was a formally dressed maid giving me a deep bow.

She had pale white skin with elf ears and pink hair that nearly looked white.

"What is it?"

Stiffening up after hearing my voice, she kept her head low and held the bow. "Uhm.. My name is Chloe, I was assigned to be your personal maid."

"Hm, it's a bit ill mannered of you to introduce yourself without showing your face."

Immediately standing up straight and looking at me, he face filled with worry and anxiety. "I'm very sorry, Young Lord!"

"Calm down.. I just wanted to see your face." She was quite pretty, her cerise eyes gave an odd ascetic but it matched her hair quite well. "So what did you come by for?" (Cerise is a shade of pink)

"W..well I just came by to introduce myself and to see if you needed anything.." Her nervousness was like a childs.

"Well I guess I should introduce myself as well."

"Th..th..that's not necessa-"

Interrupting her, I changed to my humanoid form and walked up to her. "My name is Vasilias Ragnarok, I'll be in your care." I stuck out my hand to try and give her a handshake.

She just stood there and stared at my hand as color started returning to her cheeks.

-Does she not know what a handshake is?- "It's called a handshake, it's something people in the human world use as a formal greeting or to solidify agreements."

Hearing me, she glanced up at me before grabbing my hand. "S..sorry.. I know what a handshake is.. I..I just.."

"Alright calm down, you're getting too flustered." I quickly covered her in my aura which made her calm down again but it caught her in a trance.

She just stared at me until I pulled my hand away. Her face immediately turned red as she realized she was staring.

"Well I don't need anything for now, I'll let you know if something pops up." As I walked back into the field I changed back to my dragon form. "Ah, actually there is something."

Snapping out of her thoughts, she regained a formal pose, her cheeks now flushed red. "What is it, Young Lord?"

"Can you ask Galen when the floors will be strengthened for me?"

"Right away! Is that all?"

"For now."

Hearing my dismissal she quickly left the yard and went inside in a hurry.

Turning back towards the field, I looked back at the fabric of space. "Now, where was I.."

- Asimi Ragnarok ~

"My Lady!" The joyful voice of a newly hired maid rang out from behind me.

"Hm? What is it, Doris?" I turned around to see a young and beautiful elf with blue and white hair and eyes.

She looked up at me with a vibrant smile full of childish innocence. "Sir Osto is here to see you!"

My eyes immediately lit up as I dashed to the front door.

*Crack*

Slamming open the door so hard it broke, I was met with Ostos shocked face. "Did my sweet babies come to Bahamut?!"

"Y..yeah, just ca-"

Ignoring everything after his confirmation, I ran out the door and leapt off the ground. -Its time to see my beautiful grandbabies!-

But right as I got off the ground I felt something bite my tail. -You dare!-

*BANG* I was immediately slammed into the ground.

Upon getting up to my feet I whipped around and looked Osto in the eyes. "Why did you stop me.." I covered him with all of my aura, but his serious expression did not change.

"You can't go see them yet, don't make this more of a problem than it needs to be.."

"And why can't I see them?"

"That's literally why I'm here.. now can we.." He glanced around some and lowered his voice. "Can we talk somewhere private?"

I was caught off guard as I tried to figure out what he was scheming. "What are you planning.."

"If you would just take us to a private place, I could tell you.."

After sorting my thoughts for a moment, I took a deep breath and calmed myself. "Haah.." -I shouldn't get ahead of myself.. If it wasn't incredibly serious he would not have stopped me..- "Follow me then.."
