200 Enlightenment Of Dash (2/2)

As much as he hates the feeling of being used and betrayed, to keep a calm mind and counter the enemy's plan properly is much more important than basking in sorrow and defeat.

After all, as long as his grandma's body is intact with the soul to follow later and the two Eastern Dragons still alive, his hope remains to be still alive.

Feeling confused, Dash suddenly said,

”To tell you the truth Hugon kid, I do not know now who to trust anymore. When I got to the meeting place, it seems like everyone do not like me. They gave me those condescending stares. As if I am a lower life form. I am a Lord too you know.” Dash said in mumbling tone before adding,

”Even the God of the Elemental Realm, who is supposed to be the strongest one and in authority, acted like a little child before those mysterious figures. There was just too much questions that I need answers...”

Facing Elric, Dash said,

”The Great Seer Mhata explained to me the situation. She said they were preparing to fight an incoming invasion of the Shadows who came from Realm of the Darkness, that is why we met in the Black Water. However, I have my own doubts from what she said.”

”What did you notice?” The Head Elder asked this time, completely curious while his head started to glow again albeit a more faint one compared to before. A sign that he is currently doing some calculations.

”I noticed that there was not a mood of preparation for an attack. Everyone, except me, was in a merry mode as if expecting an incoming old friend! The main reason I came here is because The Great Seer Mhata foresaw an incoming death to Elric from the hands of the Dragons of the three Regions.” Dash explained with a serious look on his turtle face.

”And without hesitation, under the authority of the God of the Elemental Realm, I opened a dimensional portal, and just when I was about to dive in, The Great Seer Mhata told me...”

Seeing the confused look on his friend, Elric went closer to the floating turtle before him with a serious gaze.

”She told you what?”

Dash revealed a struggling look of doubt and unbelieving. The face of someone who seems to have realized that he has been scammed for a long time.

”She told me to bring you back since the Elemental Realm might need your help on the coming invasion. I gave her a quick nod since I was in hurry to think a lot about it. But now that I think it over, I realized that something was indeed amiss.”

With a frown in Dash's eyes, he said,

”When she mentioned your name, the rest of the Elemental Lords and the mysterious figures gave this excited glint in their eyes. I may look small and indeed a naive one, but I am not that dumb to fail in noticing their drooling mouth while holding off their laughter.”

”I knew it,” Elric said as he faced the Head Elder.

Dash, still not getting it added, ”You mean...”

”It's a trap.” The Head Elder explained as he looked at Elric with a more confident tone.

”Remember my calculations that you will fail if you go now? I can prove it with the help of this young turtle here.”

Then, the Head Elder looked at the little turtle before tapping his finger to Dash's head.

”It will take us a whole day If I explain to you what is actually happening and what needs to be done. Allow me to aid you in understanding.”

Ting~

Suddenly, all the new information and revelations that they had realized surged to Dash's mind like an overflowing waterfall. Dash fell down to the ground for a while from the dizzying information that had just surged in.

Dash, felt a great headache still throbbing in his head and it took quite a long time for him to finally relax completely.

The countless years of events and planning. From the day that Elric received the Ancestral's power and up to today. It was all because of the Great Seer Mhata's influence after all! Everything is now clear to him.

Now Dash has an enlightened look. His eyes were as clear as the starry night, he faced Elric and the Head Elder Guardian with a resolute gaze.

”How can I help you Hugon kid?”

Elric looked at the Head Elder Guardian beside him, prompting him to give Dash their mutual instruction,

”I have a plan to prove all our theories, the problem is that it is too risky. Are you willing?”
