Chapter 41 - 41: The Hidden City of Anatolia (1/2)
Eu approaches the Silver Dragon and looks at him in disbelief. It's kind of strange this Ancient Mystic Beast' nonchalance attitude towards the children.
”Little Eu, what took you so long? We've been waiting for a while now.” The Silver Dragon said while he is lazily coiled and motionless.
”You seem to enjoy yourself…” Eu coldly responded.
She waves her hand and breaks another seal. Bright light starts to pour out of the once sealed entrance.
The Oracle Clan can't help their astonishment. Once their vision adjusted, they saw a beautiful, newly built community waiting for them.
Everything was made of the yellowish glowing Limestone. Above them is the stargazing platform, and the luscious green forest surrounded the area. They can barely believe they are inside a cave.
The children run off to check the place and left the enormous Ancient Dragon. The a.d.u.l.ts wanted to stop the children from acting too imprudent and disrespectful towards him.
They can't find the courage and put their thoughts into words and apologize for their children's unacceptable actions. They stiffened in place, hoping they didn't offend him in any way.
”Don't worry. Look around and tell me what you think. You don't need to act too formal around me. Please treat me casually.” the Silver Dragon said as he urges the Oracles to enter.
Everyone felt relieved. They can all tell the Ancient Dragon's thoughtfulness and did as he suggested. He is different from the rumors they heard about him.
Meanwhile, Di'Anon and the others are all waiting for them inside. They usher them around and explains things they need to know and everything they have inquired about the place.
They can't help marvel at the enchanting scenery. It just like Ever Forest but inside this beautiful Limestone cave. Inside the home were necessities and furniture they may require.
The village is supplied with crystal clear water from a cooling spring. Luminous magic stones are scattered on its bed that may act as a purifier.
Everyone is amazed by the construction and the effort put by the builder. Civilization such as that is common during the Age of the Beginning.
Meanwhile, Eu can't help being reminded of the City of Feirnesia. The hidden city has all the amenities that they may require to survive. She ended up occupied with her train of thought.
”Is there something in your mind, young little one?” the Silver Dragon asked Eu.
”This place reminds me of Feirnesia...” she murmured.
”Have you been to Feirnesia?”
”The Divine Lord brought me there once...” she confided.
”You mean to say he broke a Divine Law and brought you there? That is unusual...” he chuckles as he looks at her.
”I asked him to make me a shape-shifting weapon and brought me there...” she elaborated.
The Silver Dragon nods on her explanation. Still, How can he just give in and indulge in to her demands? Not to mention, she requested a shape-shifting weapon that needs a high level of mastery and skill to wield.
He then shifted his gaze at the Star Gazing Platform as he searches for his answers. It's been ages since he heard the place, and it somehow brings in memories.
”Do you know the Kingdom of Feirnesia...? What happened to them?” Eu asked.
”Yes, it's a magical place. It's one of the Seven Elemental Kingdoms, and they are truly majestic. It's incomparable...” he said with a tinge of sorrow as he continued, ”Nobody can truly explain what happened to them...”
Eu listens to him as he describes the forgotten Kingdoms. He didn't tell her much aside from its a beautiful and magnificent place though.
On the other hand, Di'Anon and the rest continue assisting everyone. The children can't help themselves playing around and piquing their curiosity.
Grand Elder Enoch, Elder Levi, and the High Council silently observe everyone while they examine their new home.
”Enoch, your granddaughter is has done an exceptional feat. She is special.”
”Are you hiding something from us?”
Grand Elder Enoch remains calm as the conversation started. He agrees with them that she is genuinely an exceptional child. She is someone who has accomplished something none of them can—change the outcome of their visions.
Not to mention, she has allied herself with unusual characters like the Divine Lord Foeni, the Holy Guardian Lords, and now, this Ancient Silver Dragon. None of their people accomplish such amazing feats across time.
Also, Eu is simply gifted and knowledgeable. Everything seems like a refresher to her.
Who is she?
He has no words to respond. Their guess is as good as his.
The Silver Dragon left Eu and approaches the Oracle Elders. This is his creation, and he wanted to introduce himself.
”I am the Ancient Silver Dragon, and I wanted to welcome you personally. May we live in harmony from now on.” he said.
”We are in your good graces, Ancient One.”
He looked at Grand Elder Enoch and urged him to name their new territory. As the leader of the Oracles, he has that privilege.
Eu is watching the scene unfold as she smiles.
