Chapter 183 (2/2)
”Ah . Your future mate . Would you like me to declare your binding?”
He turned to Stella and said, ”As if my mom wasn't bad enough, even the dragon mom wants to marry us!”
Stella looked very surprised and Joseph jumped on it .
”We would be very honored if you would be willing to do so, but I wish to wait until she accepts . Um, what do I call you?”
”Mother of dragons . ”
”No, I mean, isn't that a t.i.tle, not a name?”
”To beings of great power, they are often the same . ”
”Can I call you Tiamat? She's the only female dragon name I know . ”
Her eyes went wide . ”You've met my older sister?”
”Uh, no, but I've heard stories about her . ”
”If you must name me, how about Saisho? It means first in the tongue from another realm . ”
”Are you the first dragon?”
”No, but I am the first to this realm . ”
”Really? Why?”
”Dragons are both possessive and jealous . I wasn't comfortable being in a harem . If Bahamut couldn't love just me, then I didn't feel he loved me at all . Several of us left, and returned the divinity we had in order to come to a mortal plane . ”
”Really? That's amazing . ”
”Yes . G.o.ds who wish to stay in a mortal realm have significant issues retaining their power . Unless the realm is your home plane, it tries to suppress your divinity or force you out . ”
”So, if NURKONG comes for me?”
”He will be suppressed in this realm, and will be weakened outside of his home realm . If I wasn't spending most of my efforts strengthening the barrier between realms and keeping this land from the world tree's corrupted mana, then I would fight him . It's only after some of the groups were wiped out, that I and my children were able to spare the attention from the barriers, in order to wake up . Thank you for that . While this realm isn't healthy enough still for me to wish my eggs to hatch, you still saved my youngest hatchling . ”
Reaching out with a claw the size of a skysc.r.a.per, she pushed a pile towards him .
”Here . Scales from each of us . ”
The bottom scale was the size of a tank . Joseph had no idea there were dragon scales that were so big .
”Wow . Thank you,” he managed to say, turning to Stella, who promptly put them into her purse .
”I would suggest you use that fallen G.o.d's hide for the backing, and turn the scales into smaller plates . ” Then she smiled . ”If you can figure out how to process them . ”
”Do you know the META rune?” he asked excitedly .
”No . Dragons do not use runes . I know the word for it, but I'm not sure it would be helpful to you . ”
”Why not?”
”I think it would hurt you . You have learned all of the others through these runes correct? You have the feel of the lost rune master . ”
”But why would…lost rune master?”
”Yes . He greatly violated time, such that EMIT begged JUDGE to impose a rule preventing anyone, even G.o.ds from altering time . ”
”Wow . ”
'System, did you know about him?'
(NEVER HEARD OF HIM . )
”You wouldn't have . He was erased from time . He now never existed . Even the G.o.ds have forgotten about him,” said Saisho .
(SHE HEARD ME?)
”Um, Saisho?” asked Joseph, uncertain just how powerful this dragon was…surely, she didn't have the system?!
”Yes, I heard you . You shouldn't be so surprised . Or maybe you should . The lost rune master also had a similar power . He was the first, or possibly the last . I'm sorry child but with him being erased from time the tenses get confusing . ”
(IS HE MY CREATOR? IS THAT WHY I CAN'T FIND HIM?)
