I didn't move until early that morning. They were gone, and would be for seven years. Seven years…
I guess there's no point delaying any further. Time to get to work. Again.
Though I still didn't move until the crack of dawn. When the sun peeked over from the horizon I took off.
I gazed over Magnolia as I flew. This town really is something. It's gonna be quiet for the next few years, that's for sure. My eyes lingered on the guild hall. I'll do what I can to keep it safe. My eyes trailed their way to Lucy's apartment.
Same goes for there; no one's touching it.
I flew over to Natsu and Happy's house, landing on the far side of the hut.
I went inside, calling Luxion and placing the ARK obelisk in the middle of the hut.
"Continue your work here," I told him, "Contact me when you have any updates, or when you've finished." I knew he'd be able to analyze and work with things more efficiently in the physical world, rather than when they're in my inventory. We have the space, I might as well use it.
"Understood, sir," He began circling the structure.
Once that was done, I went outside again, then summoned Katie with an Info Token.
"It's been a while! I see you've grown up a bit!" She smiled brightly at me as she appeared, "What can I do for our divine dragon today?"
"I want to know if quests are the only way I can grow, level up, or acquire new skills," I told her, "Before I make any more detailed plans for the near future, I need to know exactly what I'm working with."
"Certainly," Katie smiled as she used her wings to hover in the air, "Your only way to increase your level is through quests, dungeons, and killing enemies. Likewise, the only way for you to get more skilled at something is through leveling up your Class."
"As for getting skills," She continued, "Right now you are unable to acquire them outside of Classes. For your growth, by now you've probably realized that you grow in bursts, or stages, not over time. This can be changed by toggling on the Natural Growth feature for your system, for a price, of course."
"I have to pay for that?" I sighed. This system is so stupid at times, and makes no sense, "How much would it cost?"
"25 gacha tokens," Katie answered, then continued, "For another 50 gacha, you can also unlock the Skills feature. This will allow you to acquire abilities and skills the old fashioned way; through repeated use, study, and practice. Some select few books, tomes, scrolls, or other sources of knowledge may offer new skills, an increase in stats or levels, and so on."
"So it basically unlocks skill books?" I quirked a brow up.
"Pretty much," She nodded, "Though those are actually kind of rare."
"Very well, I'll do it," It means I'll only have one gacha left, but that'll change soon enough. I dropped the tokens on the ground beneath her feet, which disappeared a moment later.
Notice!
Your body's physical growth now comes over time, not in sudden bursts. Rank ups will continue to only be applied once your body has reached a certain age.
Notice!
Skills feature has been unlocked. You can obtain and level certain skills and abilities through continual use and study, or by acquiring rare sources of knowledge, such as skill books.
"If that's all, then I'll bid thee a fond farewell," She bowed, "Until next time, my friend!" She smiled brightly before vanishing.
I pulled out all the books I had. I had some on herbology, wandlore, alchemy and potions, holy magic, basic fire magic, and my Grimoire. Oh, and I've got that Minion book.
The Grimoire wasn't a skill book; I didn't think it would be, but it was worth a shot. Only one of my books turned out to be a skill book. Katie wasn't lying, these things really are rare.
Consume book to learn skill?
Y/N
So it consumes and destroys them. I tapped yes, causing the book to vanish.
Skill gained!
Wandlore LVL 1, 0%
Wandlore is the complex branch of magic dealing with material focal magic; more specifically, it is the science behind the use of wands, staffs, jewelry, and other such materials as conduits in magical arts. With this skill, you are now able to create said tools. Your products are that of a novice.
If this works the way I'm thinking it does, then I have an idea or two that could prove fruitful at higher levels.
The rest of the books I'll have to learn from the old fashioned way.
I started with the book I obtained on Holy Magic. As I read, I couldn't help but laugh at the picture I painted right now.
If someone were to stumble across me in the woods, I couldn't help but wonder how they would react to seeing a black and red lizard reading a book. Some fierce dragon I'm turning out to be. Ha!
I studied for a few hours. The sun was high when I decided to take a break.
For my break, I pulled out Tyrfina's card, summoning her.
"Hey there, Master!" She greeted me with enthusiasm, "What are we tackling today?" She asked, though I wasn't focused on her greeting.
She's grown! Before she was about Wendy's build and height. Now I'd say she looked more like Lucy's build! Her hair was longer, as were her ears, and she had a more developed physique, in both her bust and muscles. Her black and blue sword was bigger too.
I forgot she evolves the more she trains and the stronger/older I get. Ya know, the more I learn about them, the more these NeoMonsters sound like off-brand Pokémon that are bound to your soul like some kind of weird familiar.
I cast my surprise to the side.
"Fight me," I ordered, crouched on all fours. I snarled slightly.
"Huh…I'm being compelled to fight you…" She blinked, before smirking slightly, "As you command, sir," She rushed me with her sword.
I jumped, using my wings for extra propulsion. I could just fly too high for her to catch me and pound her with rocks or other such magic, but that would defeat the purpose of us sparring.
I whipped my tail at her face as I soared past her, which she blocked with the flat side of her blade.
I felt it; I'm less agile now. As I fought with the elves and bandits, I didn't pay much attention to it, but my increased size has decreased my agility. I'll have to get my DEX up to par to cancel out the difference.
As I landed behind her, she twirled around, kicking me straight in the face. I wasn't able to dodge or block it, she was so fast! I used Observe on her.
Tyrfina
Race: NeoMonster
Level: 150
HP: 20,000
MP: 5,000
SP: 39,990/40,000
She's a melee fighter for sure. I crouched down again, waiting for her to come to me this time. After waiting a split second, she charged.
Our sparring lasted an hour, before we exhausted our SP and MP respectively.
Later that evening, I was at the guild hall, munching on a fish Kinana had brought out for me.
"Why hasn't Romeo made it back to the guild yet?" Macao complained as he downed a cup of beer. I was sitting near him, perking up as he spoke, "I'm going to be seriously pissed if Alzack and Bisca ditched the poor kid so they could make out!"
"Take it easy, will ya?" Wakaba laughed at his best friend's worry, "He's a wizard's son, he'll be fine!"
I grumbled in agreement, nodding my head a bit.
"Oh, don't take his side, ya scaly mut!" Macao told me off, "It's only natural for a parent to worry about their kid!"
"So, is it just me?" Max scratched the back of his head as he looked over the bustling guild hall, "Or have we gained a lot of new members?"
"I guess that's to be expected," Warren smiled, "Our guild's reputation and the number of Job Requests have been skyrocketing!"
"No kidding," Nab gestured to the Request Board, "Just look at all the fliers we got on the board!"
"What's it matter to you, Nab?" Warren smiled, raising a brow, "When was the last time you went on a job anyway?"
I let out a gravelly laugh at that.
"Even Kilgara doesn't think you do enough work!" Max chuckled.
"Lay off, guys!" Nab shouted, turning back to the board, "I'm looking for one that's perfect for me!"
I rolled my eyes, swallowing the rest of my fish. At least these guys will still be around. They're not the usual crew I hang around with at the guild, but they're just as quirky and boisterous as the Tenrou Team.
"Hey dad!" Romeo ran up to greet his father.
"About time you got back!" Macao smiled, "How was the job?"
"It went great!" Romeo grinned, taking a seat and looking around, "Aw man, it's so boring without Natsu and the gang around."
My eyes grew somber at that comment.
"It sure is, huh?" Kinana giggled slightly.
"Don't worry, kid," Macao patted his son's head, "They'll be back before you know it!"
I bowed my head, a shadow casting my eyes from view.
"No kiddin'!" Wakaba laughed, "Then things'll never be quiet enough around here!"
"I wonder who'll win the trial," Max commented.
"My money is on Levy!" Droy called out.
"She's way too smart to not come out on top!" Jet followed up.
"I don't know, Natsu and Gray are no slouches," Warren joined the debate, "And though he's not the sharpest tool in the shed, Elfman's ability is nothing to scoff at either."
"I'd bet on Cana this year," Laki walked over to the bar, sitting near me, "It's her sixth time running! She's got more experience and diversity than all of them!"
"Can't count Freed out…"
I tuned out the rabble. By this time, Natsu and the others will be fighting Grimoire Heart.
I can only hope that things go the way they did last time. But if one of them does come close to death, I'll know. Our emblems are more than just for show now.
It only took two days for me to establish a routine.
At night, Luxion and I worked on fortifying the guild hall. In the early hours of the morning, I'd do the same to Natsu's house and Lucy's apartment.
After that, I'd summon Tyrfina, who I'd have spar me. Though my natural skill with martial arts increased with my level, I want my skill to go beyond the Interface. I want to have experience. I want to know my body and how to move it properly.
In the afternoon, I would study the books I had; I'd practice spells they listed, attempt to make potions or use them to identify plants, and I would craft things like wands using the assortment of mundane materials I had and could find.
A lot of them blew up in my face.
In the evening I would take an hour or so to be at the guild hall. I mostly looked through the Requests on the board, seeing if there was one a dragon could do.
With the large number of jobs, you'd think there'd be at least one I could do, but all of them required communication with the clients in one form or another.
Looks like I'll need a partner…
As I sat in the guild hall, staring at the Request Board from the rafters, two familiar faces opened the doors.
Lahar and Doranbolt, with a few Rune Knights. Though I guess Doranbolt is actually Mest.
Whispers and suspicious stares followed them as they walked in. My eyes scrunched up. I couldn't stop it. So it happened…I was wondering when we'd get the news. No one had come close to death; I would have been warned. That confirms they're still alive.
"Greetings, Fairy Tail," Lahar said, his voice somber. Doranbolt had his eyes cast down, looking utterly defeated, "I wish we didn't have to make this visit, but we come to deliver…somber news."
"And what exactly does the Magic Council want with us this time?" Macao stood up.
"Yeah, we haven't had a single incident report in over a week now!" Wakaba stepped up beside Macao.
A rumble escaped my throat. Here it comes…
"We regret to inform you…" Lahar started, his voice genuine, "But Tenrou Island has been destroyed, along with everyone on it."
The entire guild broke out in whispers. I saw several people roll their eyes; pretty sure the only reason they weren't full on laughing was because this was the custody enforcement unit they were dealing with.
"Huh?" Macao raised a brow, "This your idea of a sick joke?"
"It's no joke," Doranbolt looked up at him, his eyes tearing up, "We were there, and we saw it happen. The island was wiped out! Destroyed by the black dragon, Acnologia!"
I snarled slightly.
"Acnologia…?" Macao's eyes widened.
"Why does that name ring a bell?" Wakaba asked.
"That was the dragon that nearly killed Gildarts…" Macao recounted.
Doranbolt told everyone the whole story, and it matched with what happened in canon near-perfectly.
Everyone was shell shocked. The whole guild was quiet when he finished. Some were in tears.
A single tear silently fell from my face. I slid from the rafters, landing on the stage.
Lahar and Doranbolt both froze at my appearance, their eyes wide and…horrified? But I didn't pay them much heed.
I walked solemnly to the center of the stage, before spreading my wings and roaring!
This wasn't an angry roar, or a fierce one. It held a sorrow in it that surprised even me. I folded my wings against my back, silent tears freely falling from my eyes now. Though they weren't noticeable to those around me, given my dark visage.
"Is that…?" Lahar began.
"It is…" Doranbolt's surprised face became an angry sneer, "Rune Knights, on guard! A dragon…that's a dragon!"
"Woah, hold your horses!" Macao got in front of me.
"No kidding, this dragon's a friend of ours!" Wakaba stood beside him.
"A friend?" Doranbolt sneered, "His kind just wiped out your friends and your sacred ground!"
"We'll be confirming that ourselves," Warren stepped up, "No offense meant, but the Magic Council hasn't always had our best interests at heart."
"No kidding," Jet and Droy stepped up now, "They had three Dragonslayers with them! There's no way they'd be wiped out like that!"
"You don't get it!" Doranbolt shouted, nearly pleading, "Acnologia is powerful enough to wipe out whole nations! A single group of guild wizards don't stand a chance against it!"
"Like Warren said," Macao continued, ignoring Doranbolt, "We'll be confirming this ourselves. As for Kilgara, he's a member of our guild. We appreciate you coming here, but you can leave now."
"You can't be serious-" Doranbolt was interrupted by Lahar, who placed a hand on his shoulder, shaking his head.
"Very well, we'll go," Lahar said, "But keep a watch on that creature. If the public found out about this, there could be a mass panic in Magnolia."
Their message delivered, they turned and left, closing the guild doors behind them.
…I honestly was not expecting this. The council was paranoid about me, and Fairy Tail, despite the majority of them gone, was standing up for me.
"Wakaba," Macao turned to him, "We need to organize a group to go to Tenrou!"
"I'll go contact the other guilds to see if they can help," Warren ran, presumably to a communication lacrima.
"Let's go, Jet!" Droy said.
"Right!"
They were mobilizing. I knew that it wouldn't work, or bear any fruit, but their determination was moving.
So much so that I couldn't help but join them.
I roared, taking off after them.
Back in the bizarrely shaped building of the Magic Council, Lahar and Doranbolt finished their report on their visit to the Fairy Tail guild.
"You're sure of what you saw?" The Chairman, Gran Doma, asked.
"We are, sir," Lahar confirmed, "Fairy Tail is harboring a dragon. One that bears a striking resemblance to Acnologia."
He pulled out a Lacrima, one that projected a picture of the young dragon, Kilgara.
"The only real difference is Acnologia's pattern is blue, while this one's is red," Doranbolt stated, using another lacrima to project a picture of Acnologia, "The red dragon here also has more black under-scales, and while their blue and red patterns are shaped differently, the point remains."
"If this creature is the spawn of the Black Dragon…" A councilwoman started.
"Then it could be just as dangerous as its parent!" The harsh voice of another councilman clarified.
"Now hold on," Org stated, "We mustn't jump to conclusions here! Fairy Tail vouched for the beast, it's been living with them for months now. If it were as bloodthirsty as Acnologia, wouldn't it have attacked them or Magnolia by now?"
"The fact that Fairy Tail vouches for it makes it all the more suspicious, if you ask me," A condescending tone drew out.
"Master Org's point still stands," A councilman calmly stated, "We should not unjustly jump the gun here. If it's true that this dragon has been around for that long, and it hasn't attacked anyone, there's a possibility that it's not dangerous."
"And what of the possibility that it is?" Another stated, "Are we willing to take that chance?"
"Regardless," Gran Doma's authoritative voice rang out, "Whether or not there is even a remote chance this creature is related to Acnologia, we must take action! A creature of that potential destruction cannot be in the hands of a guild like Fairy Tail."
He turned to Lahar and Doranbolt, "Assemble the entirety of the Custody Enforcement Unit if you have to. Bring this dragon in. Kill it, if necessary."
"Understood, sir," Lahar and Doranbolt bowed their heads, before taking their leave.
We searched for about twenty-four hours before returning to the guild. The investigation left even me shell shocked, and I know what happened!
We found where the island used to be; the residual magic power, or ethernano, in the air was so thick it nearly made me sick.
If the leftovers of his magic power are this staggering, how strong must Acnologia actually be? Will I ever be able to get that amount of strength?
Despite the fruitless search, the members of Fairy Tail weren't done. They were already making plans to head back out, as soon as they regrouped at the guild hall for a day or two.
Romeo was riding on my back; we were with Jet, Droy, Max, Laki, and Warren. The others were staying at the guild hall, taking care of logistical affairs. By popular vote, Macao took up the role of master, stating it was temporary.
We had just left the train station, now heading to the guild. They were discussing other methods we could use to search for the island as we walked through the guild doors.
"Dad, we're back!" Romeo declared, running up to his dad, "We couldn't find anything this time either…" He sniffed.
"Don't worry," Macao smiled, though there wasn't much hope behind it, "We'll find them eventually."
"We're back with the ethernano reports-" Jet started, but I growled out. I felt several footsteps running at the guild.
BANG!
The doors to the guild burst open, and several Rune Knights charged in, forming a perimeter around the inside of the hall with spears, staffs, and weapons drawn. I cast my senses outward; they had surrounded the outside of the hall too. There was a barrier as well! What's going on here? The council is attacking the guild?
Lahar and Doranbolt, in full uniform, stepped forward. Lahar pointed at me.
"Hand over the dragon peacefully, Fairy Tail," He demanded, "We have been given orders to retrieve it and take it into custody."
What? I blinked, before raising my guard, looking around. They've come for me? Did my appearance really frighten them that much? Or did I do something wrong…?
"What?" Macao's eyes grew wide, "On what grounds? He hasn't done anything! For that matter, neither have we!"
"Yeah, you can't just arrest someone with no cause!" Jet folded his arms.
"We have a warrant," Lahar stated, "And the cause is not determined by me; it is determined by my superiors."
"Tell your superiors to shove it!" Wakaba shouted, "If you want to get to him, you'll have to go through all of us!"
"Yeah!" Droy raised his fists.
"Please, everyone!" Doranbolt cried out, pointing at me, "That creature bears an uncanny resemblance to Acnologia. How do you know it isn't his spawn!?"
His eyes took on a somber, more desperate tone, "Please, Fairy Tail. If that dragon is in some way related to the Black Dragon, then it must be put down! Not just for your sake, but for all of Fiore! All of Ishgar! All the world, even!"
Excuse me? Put down? The spawn of Acnologia? They think I'm his child!?
"Put down!?" Romeo cried out, "He isn't some dog, ya know! He's just as smart as a person!"
Yeah, you tell 'em, little man! I roared in agreement, unfurling my wings slightly and snarling.
"We are not your enemy," Lahar had a determined look in his eye, "But if you resist, we will have no choice but to brand Fairy Tail a dark guild, for resisting the law and aiding a fugitive!"
"That's ridiculous!" Wakaba cried out, "You can't be serious? A dark guild? Just because we're protecting our own?"
"And what do you mean, fugitive?" Laki frowned, "He's not human, and he hasn't done anything to break the law!"
"That's crazy!" Max shouted at them, "You don't expect us to be-"
I roared as loudly as I could, silencing everyone. The Rune Knights tensed, all poised and ready to fire.
"Easy there, beast," Lahar eyed me wearily.
"Kilgara?" Macao looked at me.
I looked at him. I held his gaze, before nodding my head, a somber look in my eyes.
I used my tail and wings to gently push everyone aside. I slowly approached the Rune Knights.
I stopped moving. I stood on two legs, and without looking back, raised my fist, with my pointer finger and thumb extended.
"Kilgara…" I heard Romeo sniff. I could hear Laki and Kinana tearing up as well.
"You can't do this…" Max grit his teeth.
I started walking again, snarling at the Rune Knights.
When I got to Lahar, they cautiously cuffed my legs together, then put a collar around my neck. I felt my connection with my magic dampen; so these are magic suppression cuffs…
I eyed them all with an intense glare while they chained me up, a snarl deep in my throat the entire time.
The cuffs they put on me were all bound together by a chain, presumably to limit my movement.
"Thank you for cooperating," Lahar turned to the others, "And once again…you have our condolences."
With that, they led me outside. I gazed back at the others, letting out a sad groan. Some had looks of anger, while others had sadness on their features.
Once outside, I saw the cage they had prepared for me. It was on a cart, both tethered to and surrounded by horses. They led me up a ramp into the cage. Once I was inside, they deadbolted the door, locking it up tight. Another Knight came and activated an enchantment around it.
"Mount up, men!" Lahar hoisted himself up on his saddle, "Doranbolt, go on ahead and let the council know we're on our way."
"Understood," Doranbolt replied, before teleporting away. Hm…I wonder what his range limit is.
I despise being caged and collared like this, like I was some kind of animal. But I can't let Fairy Tail be branded a dark guild. We're in no position to go to war with the Council; not with our strongest fighters out of commission.
Then there's the legal ramifications.
Huh…maybe I should prepare for that possibility. If things continue the way they've been going, we'll end up at war with either the Council, Alverez, or any other super power, be it a country, a guild, or any other such organizations. It wouldn't hurt to prepare for war anyway.
Hm…there's an idea…
But I'll have to play with that later. Right now, I need to focus on getting out of here.
They were passing through the mountains heading for Era, headquarters of the Magic Council, when it happened.
Lahar and his men were about to exit the mountains. They had been on the road for a few hours now. Once they made it over this pass, they would stop to water the horses and have a meal.
"Steady now, men!" Lahar called out behind him. They were heading down hill now, and had to utilize their manpower to make sure the cage containing the dragon didn't roll out of control.
They nearly made it to the road below, before all hell broke loose.
There was a slight rumble. Birds in the trees flew off, before a deep pressure soaked the clearing.
"What in oblivion is that!?" One soldier shouted, pointing behind them.
From the mountain path they'd passed, a massive mound of rock manifested, taking on a crude humanoid shape. The stone giant had no face, yet it turned in their direction, charging them down!
It was at least fifty feet in height. Its fists were massive, covered with razor-sharp spikes. Its legs were long, thick and powerful. The embodiment of a super-sized golem.
The earth shook again as it silently charged their party down!
"Battle stations!" Lahar ordered, "Quickly, cast an enchantment to block its path!"
"There's not enough ti-" The soldier speaking was promptly interrupted as he was forced to jump off his horse, which was bashed away by a large stone fist.
The remaining soldiers fired spells at the golem, blasting it back.
Turning in their direction, it stomped on the nearest soldiers in an effort to get to the ones shooting it.
Lahar was baffled. But although the golem was relentless and unmoving in its assault, it was clearly being damaged by their attacks.
"Keep at it!" He ordered, "Your attacks are affecting it!"
Though this was true, they were still getting massacred. They wouldn't be able to bring the golem down before it finished crushing all of them!
A roar rang out, coming from the cage they had been escorting. The bars rattled as they burst apart, a black streak flying out.
The black streak bashed straight into the head of the golem. Lahar couldn't believe it; the dragon was defending them! Or itself, at least.
Kilgara roared at the stone humanoid, flying to stay at "eye level" with the large golem.
The stone giant reared its large fist at the dragon with surprising speed. The fist hit its mark, sending the black reptile crashing into the dirt. Lahar flinched at the impact.
Kilgara groaned in pain, shaking his head before taking off, unleashing a torrent of strange, red fire-like light at the stone creature's head.
Although the attack left behind some scorch-like markings, the golem continued forward undeterred, ignoring soldiers at its feet, who fled to avoid being crushed.
While it moved, Kilgara soared higher, angling into a dive at the construct's chest. Lahar swore the dragon's head turned to stone as he made impact, using his horns to ram into it with a crack!
Lahar stood dumbfounded as the dragon burrowed its way into the golem. The golem had frozen for a moment, before it turned its attention to Lahar.
Before Lahar could take action, the body of the massive construct began rumbling, shaking slightly. Not a second later and it was quaking violently, before it burst into rubble!
Kilgara landed atop the rubble, extending his wings as he let out a victorious roar!
The black dragon's gaze landed on Lahar. They stared at each other for two seconds, before the dragon nodded slightly, and took off, disappearing into the wild, blue yonder.
Doranbolt appeared a moment later, jerking back in shock when he saw how everyone was injured.
"Lahar! What happened?" He ran up to him, taking notice of the large amount of rubble and the damage, "Was there a landslide of some kind?"
"No…I'm not sure what just happened," Lahar said, "All I do know…is that we almost died."
He looked back at the busted cage, where he saw broken chains, and a destroyed magic suppression collar.
Whatever just happened, he thought to himself, I'm glad that thing was here. Though it doesn't change what must be done.
"Not too shabby…" I praised myself.
For my very first conjured golem, that wasn't a bad attempt! It was horribly crude, and a far cry from stable, but it got the job done.
I feel bad for the injuries it caused, and the horses it ended up killing, but I thought military trained magic soldiers would put up more of a fight than that. Guess I was wrong.
I was hesitant to do this at first. If I was to escape, it had to be done in a way that wouldn't incite the Council to come after me again. This was the best plan I could come up with in such a short amount of time.
I knew that if they managed to detain me in an actual prison, I'd have a rough time getting out, and being held captive by some paranoid magical old farts was the last place I wanted to be! Who knows what they'd have done to a young dragon in their custody!
So I had to escape while we were on the road. The first step was to get the magic suppression collar off me. A simple, but expensive, skill was all it took.
Metal Bending
(Prerequisite - Earth Manipulation)
Being able to sense the earth-based materials used to create refined metal is the sign of a true, master earthbender. With this skill, you are able to manipulate metal with your bending techniques.
Luckily for me, Earthbending isn't magic. Using this technique to literally bend the collar off me, I was able to cast a spell to cause some mayhem.
Conjure Golem Tier 1
This spell allows you to create and conjure a golem using existing earth materials around you. They last about ten minutes, and though crude in design, they're effective melee fighters and brute laborers. They are under your complete control, though can't comprehend complex orders.
I had to make a show of fighting and struggling against it, or the plan wouldn't have the effect I wanted.
I know that won't be enough for Lahar or the Council though. They're way too stuck up and paranoid for that.
I need to lay low and let time pass. They came after me because they're jumpy from Acnologia's attack, not because of anything I did. I just have to hope that when the time comes for me to reveal myself, they won't attack on sight.
I flew across the mountains, soaring and weaving through the peaks. These mountains were lush, green, and full of outcroppings. The variety it held with forestry, stone, and waterfalls was beautiful…
I'll never get tired of viewing the world like this.
