19 Setting Up The Barrier (1/2)

Back at the present, Elric is still filled with hesitation. Either he chooses to become a dragon and forget his family or giving up the Dragon's blood in his system only to end up dead. Both options gave him no real advantage at all.

Elric loves his grandma very much. After losing his mother and father in a terrible typhoon disaster 27 years ago, his grandmother took the brunt of raising him. He learned to talk, walk and decide for his future with the blissful guidance of his only family left.

But now, he is on a dilemma to forget the only source of his strength in exchange for his life.

After a few more minutes of thinking, he finally spoke.

”I am willing to accept my fate to become a dragon but I have a condition to ask oh great Ancestral Dragon. That is if you don't mind.” Elric spoke in a resolute voice.

”Speak human.”

”Is it possible for me to retain my memories as a human even when I become a dragon?”

Elric hoped that with his memories as a human, he should still be able to protect his family from the sidelines. He knows pretty well that this is his only choice considering that only death is waiting for him on the other option.

I could not imagine my grandma's face when she finds out that I am missing after running towards the woods. How I wish If only I could turn back time, I should still be sleeping soundly tonight, far from all of this dilemma. Elric thought.

”I am afraid that all of these happens for a reason human. There is no such thing as a coincidence. Maybe heaven has plans for you. Who knows.” Lesse told Elric and added:

”After all, aren't you supposed to be happy with your current luck? You are still alive thanks to my blood and even got a precious opportunity presented before you. If the other dragon's found out about your hesitation for getting an Ancestral Dragon's essence, they would surely tear you to pieces!”

”That is according to your dragon's perspective.” Elric immediately rebutted.

”Well aren't you a dragon now?” Lesse responded.

”You mean 'Half-a-Dragon?” Eric doesn't seem to appreciate being a dragon in contrast to Lesse's expectation.

”You ungrateful human,” Lesse said with killing intent.
