Will Of Chaos



I was surprised to see Karina, her Dragonewt traits were gone, but from the notifications, I knew that these changes stem from her race having changed to a True Dragon. 

Her appearance may seem like it, but she is like Nix now, I would like to know if she can fully transform into a Dragon like Nix or like me and my sisters have a skill that needs to be trained to acquire the ability to fully transform into a Dragon. 

I was still being supported by Vanessa and Alice when I weakly reached out my hand for Karina to grab before I helped her to her feet. 

Karina was using the command I gave to cover herself up while giving me a message from the Dragon God. 

Needing to go to the Castle of Dragons wasn't even that big of a problem, I already didn't have a place to go after leaving this Floating Island and I didn't plan on staying any longer now that Nix, Layla, and Karina had awakened. 

As I considered Karina's words I realized that there would be nothing wrong with Nix visiting Father, it also seemed to be something traditional for the Dragon Race, so it might not be so bad that I was a part of it, it might actually be one of my responsibilities as the progenitor of a new Dragon Race. 

"Do you know when this event will take place? When should we go to the Dragon lands?" (I) 

"Anytime you arrive as the lead individual for this ceremony without you there nothing can happen and other than that there is nothing to indicate a specific day to be held." (Karina) 

"Then we will leave in a few days to go, we just need to make some preparations." (I) 

"I'm fine now, let go of me girls, thanks for the help." (I) 

"I'll let the others at the Communal Temple know, they can let the townsfolk know more easily." (Vanessa) 

"I'm going to go to Nira who takes care of most of the city's civil affairs here inside the Dungeon." (Alice) 

"Thanks for the collaboration." (I) 

While I see Vanessa and Alice leaving to start the preparations to leave this place, in the meantime I tell Karina to go rest a little longer, clearly, she still wasn't feeling well, unlike the others, her Evolution took many risks, that's why I sent her back to the bed. 

--------------- 

I spent the rest of the day in bed, I could have regained my energy faster by drinking more blood and meditating, but there was no point in rushing this. 

I have also been warned not to force a forced recovery every time unnecessarily as it puts a considerable burden on my body and could cause further damage. 

When I got up it was dawn the next day, I was in better condition than I thought, so I got up to eat with everyone, it was the same chaos as usual with everyone talking to each other, but I couldn't help the smile on my face as I compared this scene with the orphanage during dinner time in my childhood in the previous life, I even think that the dozens of children managed to be noisier than my current companions. 

After having something to eat in the morning with everyone, I went to the training floor inside the Dungeon, there were some things that I couldn't keep leaving for later and so I want to resolve this at once. 

"Why did you come?" (I) 

"I thought I needed someone in case I lost consciousness." (Freya) 

"I'm just going to open a supposed present, I'm not doing anything else." (I) 

"You say that, but you lose consciousness too often by doing absurd things at the worst possible times." (Freya) 

"Okay, just back off, I don't like doing that kind of thing, but it's better to prepare for everything." (I) 

I put my hand in my pocket and pull out a crystal full of bands wrapped around it, these bands had drawings and Runes that I didn't know drawn, but I didn't feel any kind of danger. 

I cancel the Space compression and when the crystal gets bigger in front of me, I grab one of the tokens and on the first pull all the bands lit up as it expanded, along with a flash that left me momentarily without vision. 

When I opened my eyes once more I was facing a large crystal where a white Dragon was trapped inside, I could easily feel the large amount of energy of the Light element around it. 

When I looked around having noticed something amiss, I noticed that everything in the surroundings was pure white and for some reason, there was another one like me standing behind me. 

When I tried to touch him, my hand went through, but I realized that it wasn't the one in front of me who didn't have a physical body, but me who was in a kind of translucent body. 

"I'm sorry for making you come find me." (God Akatosh) 

"..." (I) 

I look up and see a teenage boy wearing simple clothes, he was standing above me stepping into empty space as if he were stepping on the ground, when I looked towards him he disappeared, I looked around and noticed him between me and the crystal with the Dragon without looking back. 

"We're in a mental space where I separate your mind and body for a few seconds while you speed up your thoughts so we can talk more calmly." (God Akatosh) 

"So this one next to me..." (I) 

"This is your body, we're talking through mental projections." (God Akatosh) 

"..." (I) 

I didn't understand why the Dragon God himself had to appear like that, but I couldn't help but look at the white Dragon still inside the crystal, a White Dragon surrounded by the Light element, it doesn't take a genius to realize that it's a Light Dragon. 

"What can I do for you Dragon God?" (I) 

"Just call me Akatosh, every Dragon King and Emperor is my Descendant who carry my strength with them, that includes you now Zenos son of Selene." (God Akatosh) 

"I'm sorry if I sound rude, but why is the God of Dragons here?" (I) 

"(As far as I knew the war was over, the Church of Light lost and the World Tree was already saved, so I don't understand why a God is here now.)" (I) 

"I can still read your thoughts child, I'm here because of the Dragon behind me." (God Akatosh) 

He points at the Dragon without turning around and I look at the Dragon trying to guess what will happen. 

"This is the last direct Descendant of Rhaegal, the ancient Dragon King of Light, one who held power among Dragons at the top and also who betrayed his brethren by inciting the Church of Light to join forces with him to go against Arash thousands of years ago back." (God Akatosh) 

"He's his only son still alive, as well as the only one who tried to stop him a long time ago." (God Akatosh) 

"(So he is the son of one of those responsible for killing Nix's mother and sealing her.)" (I) 

"Why did Luminus give me this Dragon? It's clearly still alive inside the crystal." (I) 

"It was my order for him to do this..." (God Akatosh) 

In the next few minutes, the Dragon God told me about Arash's battle against Rhaegal, he also told me about Luminus's attack on the home of the Dragons of Light that are next to the Church of Light. 

"That child behind me was valiant in going against his father and his entire Tribe, as well as the daughter of Arash, he has been sealed in this crystal because of his father since that time." (God Akatosh) 

"He did the right thing and he doesn't deserve to be punished for mistakes he tried to prevent." (God Akatosh) 

"I understand the situation, but what does all this have to do with me?" (I) 

"Can't you just release him from the crystal or tell another Dragon to do it?" (I) 

"Freeing him is not the problem, but his identity as Rhaegal's son." (God Akatosh) 

"I think I understand..." (I) 

It's actually not difficult, Dragons still resent the betrayal of one of their own race, Arash is a good example of this. 

I think it would be difficult for the other Dragons to see Rhaegal's son and not kill him, even if he isn't killed he will be more isolated than the Dragons beside Luminus. 

"I know what you're thinking, but no." (I) 

"Why not do the same with him as you did with Luminus?" (I) 

"On that day he tried to do right and he failed, what I did to Luminus and his followers was a punishment they accepted on behalf of their tribe's past mistakes." (God Akatosh) 

"As far as I've heard, Luminus wasn't guilty of anything, but this Dragon is the son of one of the main culprits." (I) 

"Luminus knew he needed to be punished and accepted that punishment for his tribe to have a future, but in the case of the boy behind me, he will never be forgiven the way Luminus and his people are being." (God Akatosh) 

"Rhaegal's shadow will always cover this child, no amount of punishment would be enough for the other Dragons to stop comparing him to his father." (God Akatosh) 

I really don't like where this is going. 

"That's why I need to make a request to you Zenos." (God Akatosh)
