Reunion

A/N:

Thank you again for your likes and marvelous comments! ʕっ•ᴥ•ʔっ

Here's another requested chapter . Hope y'all like it!

Also after much deliberation (which isn't really long like 5 mins or so (;;゜▽゜)ehe) I finally decided to include the extra into the story but it will only be a brief mention as I only want a lot of people to know how amazing the Caleplets is (with being a good person and all). And also how amazingly dense they are as well (thinking they're trash and not self-sacrificial, the idiots)

=========================================================

"P-Pyah!"

"Even if you said they're all allies!" tcf!Cale said as he saw various creatures there like some tigers, some whales, some dwarfs, and he think that one was a vampire. Most concerning is his previous teams and them ! He close his eyes as he suppress the records and emotions when he saw them (hyungs) who look young with another young Kim Rok Soo beside them on the screen.

"My pal Glenn was in there" tcf!Bud said happily as his trusted pal was also in the same situation as him.

"Harold was also there!" tcf!Toonka laughs loudly at Harold's sure misery in the situation.

While tboah!Cale and og!Cale was paling as he saw Amiru, Gilbert and his Eric-hyung.

"Not only them but my team and my niece are in there" og!Cale blood drain from his face at that as he never told them who he is. He could only get comfort when he saw them happy on the other side of the screen.

While everyone was busy absorbing what they found out, a certain slime goes to og!Cale.

"pyah" "pyah" "pyah!"

"Of course they're sad that they can't see their former leader... but did my team and niece really say that they were happy to be able to meet me?" og!Cale asks very hesitantly.

The slime nodded its head vigorously.

og!Cale finally let out a sigh of relief. But then...

"Pyah!"

Everyone look at the sudden outburst of the slime and most of them smile wickedly.

og!Cale grips the slime head in a tight grip.

He raised it and said, "Why on earth would you kidnapped various people!" As he shake the slime with every word he said.

"Pyah!"

Everyone decided to ignore the matter of what they saw briefly on the error screen altogether for sanity's sake as they look at the regular screen while og!Cale allows the slime to slip out of his hold.

[Start]

Chapter 365: When Night Comes 3

[]

Eruhaben kicked off the ground with a white gold colored wind at the tip of his feet. He moved forward and started to speak to Cale and the others.

"Follow me. I know the path here."

"Oh? I wonder where I'm leading them?" tcf! Eruhaben

The direction he was heading toward was the same as the direction that the white crown was showing. He looked around and casually commented.

"The path to the last Dragon Lord's grave and the path that the crown is showing are the same."

"Hm, why would I bring them there?" tcf! Eruhaben deeply thought at the reason behind it.

"The Dragon lord's grave" Various people took instant interest hearing that word.

"Crown?" while tcf!Cale thinks "what crown?"

"Does he carry my close friend's will?" Sherritt lit up at that and also "they're going there" as hope-filled her.

While tcf! Pendrick almost fainted at the mere mention of the dragon lord but slapped his face "must know more!"

The last Dragon Lord.

Those words made Bud, Ron, Choi Han, and Beacrox start to follow the ancient Dragon.

"Eh! I was there!?" tcf!Bud shouted n surprise.

"Heh" tboah!Cale was looking at tcf!Cale smugly.

"Shut up" tcf!Cale hiss.

"He hasn't said anything~" og!Cale said in a sing-song voice.

"Tsk." tcf!Cale ignored them.

"The Castle of Light. I will show you the truth about that place."

"W-We will finally meet.. my son.." Sherritt thought in longing and a bit worried, worried about what they will see and find out.

Eruhaben turned back around and started to move.

[]

Eruhaben stopped once he got to that location.

"There's nothing here?"

Bud looked around with a confused expression. Choi Han and Beacrox also turned their heads and looked around.

All they could still see were the white pebbles, the snow, and the white trees.

Some were disappointed that there was nothing there. They want to know more about the Castle of Light that only dragons know where it's placed.

It was at that moment.

"That's what it seems like."

Eruhaben was laughing. He brushed back his hair and glanced around.

"Dragons return to nature once they die. They become a part of nature and leave no traces."

He pointed to himself.

"I will probably turn to dust and be dispersed into this world after I die. That is the death I wish for."

"Goldie gramps! Are you dying!?" Raon moves his head frantically back and forth as he looks at both of the golden dragons.

"Haaa." Both golden dragons sigh, already giving up the name which he was given.

"I'm an ancient dragon and I've already lived a long time," said in a calm voice as both Eruhaben wants that beautiful death.

"No! You can't!" Raon denies him strongly "I plan to build you a house and come visit you every day! So you can't die!" He declares as though the golden dragon has no other choice because Raon already has plans for him.

Both Eruhaben fake cough while looking away.

"He's dying.." tcf!Cale frown. "That could be arranged" tcf!Cale thought already forming a plan to extend the golden Dragon's life.. since Raon likes the golden dragon..

"You still have a long way to go before you die! You are going to live for a long time!"

The red Kitten Hong peeked around before sharing his opinion.

"That's right!"

"You definitely need to live long!"

"You'll have to accompany me for thousands of years and see me grow into an ancient mighty dragon!"

The children voice out their wishes.

"Since the children like him very much I definitely need to find ways to extend the golden Dragon's life" tcf!Cale sigh for another troublesome task "Well.. it's for the children.." he convinces himself.

"Ahem."

Eruhaben let out a fake cough before continuing to speak.

Both Eruhaben is also letting out lots of fake coughs.

"Oh no! Are you alright? nya!"

"Do you need some healing potions? nya!"

"Goldie gramps! Just wait! I'm going to ask (scam) the slime for potions."

The children fuss over the golden dragon.

"Ahem"

"Ahem"

Some were amused at this scene.

While tcf!Pendrick also worries about the golden dragon as he knows him and his health for quite some time.

"Dragons consider those kinds of deaths as the most beautiful deaths."

This was the reason Dragons became upset and angry about Dragons who were murdered, forcing their dead corpse to remain in the world without even being able to rot away to return to nature.

Almost all Dragons agree with having that beautiful death at the end of their life.

"To kill the majestic Dragon!" tcf!Pendrick was trembling in anger at the mention of a Dragon getting murdered.

Meanwhile, "A Dragon Slayer" tboah!Alberu said.

"Oh? You know about the Dragon Slayer?" tboah!Eruhaben asks with a tint of interest.

tboah!Alberu let out a refine smile "Yes Eruhaben-nim, but I don't have that much information about them, only that previously they are isolated but now no more Dragon Slayer was heard of."

Then he let out a different kind of smile "I would like to know more about them but as I am lacking I couldn't find out more. I would have like to converse with the ever knowledgeable Eruhaben-nim as I am sure that with your vast wisdom and unparalleled experiences I can learn not only about the Dragon Slayer but even the world for I would be conversing with the one and only great Eruhaben-nim."

"Ahem," Eruhaben fake out a cough "I'll think about it and see if I have time."

"I am most grateful for the great and all-knowing Eruhaben-nim to even just think about it" tboah!Alberu said as he smile which would make Raon comment on how similar it was with his human whenever he asked something from the slime.

"Ahem."

"However..."

A corner of his lips started to go up. It was a cold smile.

"In front of our eyes is a Dragon who died and was unable to return to nature."

[]

"The White Dragon created this Castle of Light. This white ground and the white snow. Everything here are traces of that Dragon."

"That's quite amazing in itself" tcf!Hannah thought "the Dragon lord covering the entire area just shows how big the dragon was."

His foot moved up before pushing back down again.

Boooom!

A loud vibration started with Eruhaben at the center.

"Aaah!"

Bud's body started to shake.

Choi Han was already regaining his balance with On and Hong in his arms. Even Ron and Beacrox slightly stumbled.

They could see a large white gold whirlwind coming out of Eruhaben. The white gold dust particles were roaring and creating a whirlwind.

"As expected, he really is the dragon that I saw" tcf!Mila thought remembering the Dragon she saw that beat up another annoying Dragon. It was an amazing sight.

Boom!

Eruhaben stomped his foot once more.

"...Huh?"

"Ah."

Both Bud and Beacrox gasped.

Swooooooosh-

The white gold whirlwind started to disappear. It ran into something before it disappeared.

And in place of the whirlwind...

The group could see a large shield.

No, it was a castle gate.

"Finally! The Castle of Light."

Most of them who have not seen the Castle of light were excited to know more about it.

It was a large white castle gate in the shape of a shield.

They could also see the scenery past the castle gate.

"The last Dragon Lord's attribute was protection."

"To protect.." tcf!Lock got interested in the Dragon Lord's attribute. "For someone who was considered the strongest.. to have the power to protect, it's amazing"

Eruhaben laughed as he continued to speak.

"Can you see the shield?"

His hand pointed to the gate. He then pointed beyond the gate.

"You can see that tall and beautiful castle as well, right?"

A white castle that was sparkling appeared in front of the group.

"...The Castle of Light."

"I can't believe I'll be seeing the Castle of light in the future" tcf!Bud couldn't believe his luck. "I changed my mind, I must get close to Cale!" He thought with interested eyes.

tcf!Cale frown. He was having a bad feeling.

Bud mumbled the name of this location.

He thought he could finally understand why it was called the Castle of Light.

A beautiful and holy looking white castle.

The traces that the last Dragon Lord left behind.

Bud was so absorbed in its beauty that he subconsciously started to walk toward the white castle.

"It must've been so beautiful to be mesmerized by it" tboah!Bud feels slight jealousy that his other self gets to actually see it in the future.

However, he had no choice but to stop.

The large gate prevented him from going any farther.

"You cannot go in."

Bud turned his head.

"All living Dragons tried to enter that castle once the Dragon Lord died. That was because the next generation's Dragon Lord had not been decided."

"Really?" tcf!Cale thought "does that mean there has been no Dragon lord for thousands of years?" That thought made his skin crawl and he doesn't know why.

He ignored that feeling.

Eruhaben thought about the ancient Dragon who had told him about the situation at that time. The information about what happened had been passed down orally from Dragon to Dragon for generations.

tcf!Pendrick was visibly excited like he is gonna discover all the secrets of the world!

It could not be helped.

"However, that castle did not open its gates for any Dragon."

The castle gates did not open.

No Dragon could destroy the castle gate either.

The Dragon Lord's strength was that strong.

"How amazing" tcf! Taylor thought with awe at the splendid Castle.

"Even the dragons can't destroy it" tcf!Cage said. She also finds it amazing how the Castle is still standing for thousands of years while being attacked by different dragons.

"That's the power to protect.." a certain wolf's interest in it increases more.

"A castle that can't be destroyed even by the dragons" tcf!Cale mumble.

"Human, why are you making that face? You look evil! Like your going to steal something from someone." Raon asks curiously.

tcf!Cale frown. He ignored Raon.

The Dragons had realized something after having all of this information.

Inside that castle...

"It is currently protecting something."

"Yet it failed to protect my sons" tcf! Sherritt thought sadly "I failed to protect them" she grips her trembling arm.

The Dragon Lord was definitely protecting something.

"The last Dragon Lord created this castle to protect something. They created a castle that nobody could enter. It has been that way even after the Dragon Lord's death."

Numerous Dragons had tried to destroy this Castle of Light for ages.

However, nobody could enter. They could not even get past this shield.

"I wonder what's the Castle protecting?" tboah!Bud asks loudly.

"Treasures?" Guessed by a certain red hair noble.

"Magical Items?" guessed by the crown prince.

"Knowledge?" Guessed by a red hair mage.

"Countless zombies that will start an apocalypse?" og!Cale said.

Everyone looks at og!Cale.

He notices their gaze. "What? For all we know it's protecting something from us."

"Yeah.. but zombies?" tboah!Cale asks.

"Well, there are elves, whales, a necromancer, Dragons, and vampires so you can't erase the chance of a horde of zombies."

They can't exactly refute him.

"Pls don't let there be zombies" tcf!Cale wishes with all his might as he pales at even thinking of the possibility.

"The last Lord killed themselves. They then left this Castle of Light behind."

[]

It was at that moment.

"Youngest!"

"Raon!"

Cale heard Hong and On's shouts and quickly turned his head.

He could see Raon.

"...Oo oo... oo......"

He could see Raon struggling with his paw on his chest.

"Raon!"

tcf!Cale frown hard, he does not like this one bit.

He looks at Raon with the cats' huddle to the young dragon and his tension eases a little.

[]He then started to walk toward Raon.

Everybody stopped moving at that moment.

Screeeech-

An unexpected sound could be heard.

It was a sound that nobody here had expected.

The group turned their heads.

The gate was opening.

!!!

What!?

Everyone was surprised that the Castle that was closed for thousands of years is now opening its gate.

The Castle of Light.

The large gate was opening.

Cale could then see it.

There was someone inside the castle gate.

This existence was half transparent.

It was a small white Dragon about Raon's size.

"White dragon? It couldn't be.."

Those who are on the smart side and those who know Dragons can guess who that existence is.

The Dragon with dark blue eyes started to speak.

"Welcome, my child. Welcome, the person who has carried on my close friend's will."

...!

Everyone was once again surprised.

"No.." tcf!Cale immediately looks at Raon. He frowns when he sees his eyes tremble.

With trembling eyes, Raon read and read that same sentence.

"Ah finally," Sherritt thought with anticipation and fear.

Chapter 366: When Night Comes 4

Raon blinked his eyes.

Boom. Boom. Boom.

His wildly beating heart now calmed down. His heart wasn't going crazy anymore.

Even the pain that was making him struggle had disappeared.

"...I, I don't understand."

"I-I also don't understand" Raon couldn't comprehend as he tremble from what he read and heard.

However, Raon was finding it difficult to understand this situation.

Raon could see a white Dragon that was the same size as him looking at him and smiling.

'Welcome, my child.'

"H-Human," Raon asks the only person he could turn to as he goes to his human.

tcf!Cale holds him tightly.

Those words seeped into Raon's heart.

'My child? She said, 'my,' child?'

Although his heart understood, Raon's mind could not comprehend it.

The half-transparent white Dragon in front of him was small.

Raon's mind blanked out and he subconsciously started to speak.

"I am- Raon Miru."

My name is Raon Miru.

Raon had etched this name deep in his heart. He had an odd feeling that he should tell his name to this small white Dragon in front of him.

Raon drew closer to tcf!Cale chest as he continues to read and tremble.

"I see."

The white Dragon started to smile.

"Your name is Raon Miru. It's a great name."

"Yes, it truly is a great name," Sherritt thought with a loving heart "my joyful dragon."

While tcf!Pendrick already fainted knowing there are now three. THREE Dragons!

Boom. Boom. Boom.

Raon could feel his heart starting to beat wildly again. The words that he slowly started to take in were delivering the message to his heart and mind.

That was why Raon turned his head to look at, 'my human.'

"...What are you doing?"

He could see Cale, who was casually asking him a question.

[]

Starting from there, Raon could see the others looking anxious as well.

Even Eruhaben had shock and anxiety on his face.

A stoic voice made Raon turn his head.

"Come here."

tboah!Cale and og!Cale look anxiously at Raon who was being held on tcf!Cale's chest.

They were worried for the young dragon.. at the same time happy if what they're thinking is true "He will be reunited with his mother"

As og!Cale knows the feeling of being reunited with his niece.

He could see Cale approaching him through the ground that was full of white pebbles.

"Raon Miru."

Raon's wings started to flutter.

"Come here."

Raon quickly flew over to Cale after hearing him call for him once more. Cale moved Raon behind his back.

"I knew this is serious for the young dragon-nim but that is so adorable" tcf!Pateson whispers to her sister.

"Yes, just imagining young master Cale being protective of his charge is rather cute." tcf!Witira nodded her assent.

Raon's two front paws touched Cale's back.

Cale then changed directions and started to walk a little faster.

"...Cale-nim."

Choi Han quickly followed behind him.

"Will you enter right away?"

"Let's just hope there are no zombies there" tboah!Cale said seriously.

"Stop jinxing it" tcf!Cale hiss at him.

Choi Han was looking at the white castle.

His eyes were taking in the tall castle walls around the castle, the open castle gate, and the half-transparent white Dragon inside the gate.

He could also see the majestic white castle that was shining behind the Dragon as well.

Eruhaben had said that this was somewhere that no Dragons had been able to enter.

But the white Dragon that appeared there was inviting Cale and Raon inside.

'Will they be safe?'

Choi Han could not tell what dangers might be waiting for them inside. In addition, Cale had said something else about this place as well. He said that the Dragon Slayer village, the White Star's hometown, might be somewhere here.

"The Hometown of Dragon Slayers" tcf!Alberu was interested in that information.. but he was not having a good time as he read something concerning.

His concern was voiced out by tcf!Cale. "Does that mean the white star is a dragon slayer."

Everyone frown at that. An enemy that could kill dragons is not looking good.

"Tsk, so troublesome" tcf!Cale clicks his tongue as he thinks he needs to revise some plans.

They needed to be careful and be even more careful.

He then heard Cale's light chuckle. Choi Han could see Cale's expression.

"Do I have a choice?"

'What else can I do?'

"It's ok, you have that shield so you won't get bitten" og!Cale said seriously.

"For the last time, there are no zombies in there!" tcf!Cale hiss at him.

Choi Han was at a loss for words after seeing the message Cale's gaze was conveying.

"You heard her too."

Choi Han then remembered how the white Dragon had called Raon, 'my child.'

He realized that Cale understood the dangers of this place as well. However, he also understood why Cale was starting to move.

"...Yes I did."

"Yes. Then we must go."

"You have a good guardian" og!Cale said patting the young dragon.

"Yeah, a guardian who will do things he doesn't like for his charge slash son." tboah!Cale said

"Not all have someone like that in their lives" was said by both of them.

A former butler and a father flinch after hearing that.

Choi Han did not say anything else and moved to stand behind Raon.

"...Human."

Cale patted Raon with his right hand and started to walk.

He could feel Raon's two paws shaking on his back.

The great and mighty Raon was still only six-years-old.

"Six? So this will happen 2yrs in the future" tcf!Cale stored that information as he think "I had hope I got there after Choi Han and his companions won the war. But since Choi Han is still with me then it's clear that it's yet to happen" After all Choi Han would be a hero after the war so trash like him can't be with a hero.

The young Dragon then suddenly heard someone say, 'my child.'

How could someone suddenly appear and say something so shocking? How shocked would a child be?

Cale could not understand why anyone would do that to a child.

That was why he had to step up as Raon's guardian.

Isn't that what the law says you should do?

Well, he didn't know if this world's laws worked the same way, but Cale decided to act according to his own philosophy. Trash never cared about the laws and did whatever they pleased anyway.

"That's right! That body of yours is trash so who cares about the law!" tboah!Cale declares proudly.

"Yes! Since I'm trash, that body is also known as trash! So live according to what you believe!" Said by og!Cale with the same enthusiasm.

"Excuse you, it's not your body that's trash, it's me!" tcf!Cale scoffed at them.

tboah!Cale and og!Cale snorts loudly, clearly delivering the message of not believing him.

"Wha-?!" tcf!Cale once again cannot believe the audacity of these two.

"I don't get it? Is the definition of trash means being self-sacrificial?" Someone asks.

"What crazy thing are you talking about?" Was what their face was saying and also what they were thinking.

"Unbelievable, all three of them, these idiots," Everyone thought with a sigh.

"Pyah"

"What do it mean Calediots?" the 3 idiots frown.

"Hooo."

The white Dragon looked at Cale who was walking toward her with a presence not fitting his small physique with interest.

She then casually made a comment.

"You have no fear."

That statement made Choi Han flinch. It made Mercenary King Bud come back to his senses as well.

The white Dragon.

Although she was small, this Dragon was most likely the owner of this white castle, the last Dragon Lord.

"I knew it!" tcf!Bud said proudly as his guessed were right.

Everyone also already guessed it but the question is how?

That Dragon was telling Cale that he had no fear.

Cale's response showed he really was not afraid.

"What are you?"

Another voice quickly chimed in as Bud flinched after hearing Cale's question.

"...It's an illusion! I, I know because I am great and mighty! That is magic! It, it's not real!"

Raon was shouting.

"Ah."

Bud finally realized that the half-transparent Dragon was made from magic. It had happened so suddenly that he had not noticed it.

Ah

Everyone now understands. They've been curious about how the dragon lord is still alive and now they got their answer.

"Are you the Lord?"

[]

"Yes."

Something happened the moment the small white Dragon responded.

Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-

A strand of wind surrounded the white Dragon's body.

"Open it."

That was all she said.

The wind left the white Dragon and started to move.

Baaaaang!

Cale frowned after hearing the bang.

The main entrance to the white castle opened wide.

That was the first.

Baaaaang! Bang! Bang!

After that...

The door behind that door.

All of the doors started to open one by one.

"To think that the Castle that never opens even with the strength of the dragons finally open for the young master and the young Dragon-nim." tcf!Litana said while thinking the meaning behind it.

Everyone has those similar thoughts. While some were already theorizing the meaning behind it.

These doors that were in a row slammed opened one by one.

The wind that brushed past the white Dragon opened all of these doors that had been closed shut.

Baaaaang!

And once the final door opened...

"The inside of the castle" tcf!Tasha said with interest.

"We will finally be able to see what's inside" tcf!Mary was also interested in what the Dragon lord was protecting.

Cale could hear Eruhaben's shocked voice.

"...What the..."

Cale didn't even have time to look at the ancient Dragon.

The last Dragon Lord was said to have been protecting something inside the large castle.

However, the inside of the castle that became more visible with each opened door was very different than what they expected.

It was destroyed and broken.

The internal walls of the castle, the floor, everything was destroyed or broken. The outside was shining, but the inside was in ruins.

"Ah!"

"Oh my goodness!"

"How?"

"W-Why?"

Everyone gasps at what they found out as various questions was formed.

Sherritt closes her eyes controlling her emotions.

As tcf!Cale pat the dragon he was holding with the two cats who were rubbing their body to their youngest to give comfort.

Squeeze.

Cale could feel Raon's paws squeezing his clothes.

He made eye contact with the white Dragon at that moment.

"The former owner of your power did that."

"Which power? And who?" tcf!Cale asks in thought as his gaze sharpened.

'What?'

Cale could see the white Dragon's pupils slowly turn vertical and sharp.

Boom. Boom. Boom.

Cale's heart started to beat wildly.

The Dominating Aura.

That power suddenly started to roar inside of him.

"You have another power again!?" tboah! Toonka said with a glint of interest at the transmigrator who have multiple ancient power.

tcf!Cale frown not liking that look. But he ignored him as he won't be meeting him since he's from the other side. He was also sure that his counterpart already have no interest in him.

Little did he know that Bob#1 from the tcf side was also looking at him with the same interest as his counterpart.

However, before he could even realize what was going on...

"I have something to show you."

The white Dragon said that before causing a gust of wind.

Shaaaaaaaaaaa-

[]

Less than five seconds must have passed.

"Gasp!"

"This place!"

Cale heard the shocked voices of the others as he looked around. He looked behind him.

He could see the open doors and a path heading out of the castle.

The moment the blizzard hit them, Cale and the others were teleported into the castle.

'The Emperor of Magic.'

"Amazing"

Everyone thought in awe as they witness part of what the Dragon lord could do.

By this time tcf! Pendrick who revived has passed out again.

Cale recalled the nickname for the Dragon Lord. However, he had no time to pay attention to that.

The place he was teleported to was the last room they saw once the doors opened.

It was the center of the white castle.

Cale started to frown.

"Oh my."

Eruhaben brushed his face with one hand.

Everyone tensed up at their reaction. To even make the golden dragon react like that.

It was a small room.

The room had high ceilings, but it was small.

There were many items inside the room.

A carpet, books, toys... There were a lot of items.

The beds were very small beds.

They could see a carpet with cute pictures on it, as well as many books. There was even a book on, 'Learning the Continent's Common Language.'

There were many toys as well.

All of them were broken.

"This room was for birth to one year old."

"No..."

They all thought as dread overcome them.

The atmosphere darkens as they read on.

They heard the white Dragon's voice.

"The next room is until two years old."

The clear and calm voice pointed to the path heading out of the castle. You needed to pass through many doors to get out.

"The next room is until five years old, and the room after that is until fifty years old. Rooms like that exist until the first growth phase room."

"H-Human"

tcf!Cale frown at Raon's trembling voice.

"I-I don't understand" Raon closed his eyes as he grip his human's clothes.

tcf!Cale frown deepen. He was about to suggest stopping the chapter but before he could open his mouth Raon continue his words.

"I-I don't understand b-but" Raon opens his eyes "I want to continue reading" Raon looks up to tcf!Cale's eyes "I want to know."

Seeing that firm gaze tcf!Cale nodded and hold him tightly.

The first room was the smallest and the rooms grew bigger as you headed toward the exit.

The rooms became larger and larger, similar to how someone's world would continue to grow.

"I wanted this Castle of Light that was far from the sun, moon, and everything in the world to be the shield to protect them until the end of their second growth phase, the umbrella to block the snow and rain, the fire to keep them warm."

The white Dragon headed behind Cale's back.

"That was my hope when I created this."

Raon looked at the half-transparent white Dragon that was the same size as him. He looked at that illusion.

Raon got closer to tcf!Cale.

As Sherritt look at Raon that was being held by tcf!Cale. She wants to reach out but didn't "after.. after this" was her promise.

The two of them made eye contact. The white Dragon continued to speak.

"I then made, 'me.' "

Her voice was calm.

"So that they wouldn't be lonely."

She had a bright smile and a warm gaze.

Raon's eyes tremble but still continue looking at the screen, reading and listening to each word.

"It was because a beautiful death didn't matter to me. I cared more about the life to come."

Eruhaben brushed his eyes with his hands again.

The life to come.

"For a life to come, she would forgo a beautiful death.." tcf!Mila looks at her son. For her son's future.. she might make the same decision if needed.

He was certain that the life the white Dragon was talking about was not her own.

She had made the decision to forgo a beautiful death for the new life that would appear in the world.

The ancient Dragon bit down on his lips and spoke to Cale using magic. Cale, I think Raon really might be the last Dragon Lord's child.

Ah!

Some gasps at finding out about this.

While some were calm as they'd already had guessed it.

He found it hard to believe even as he said that. ...Of course, I can't believe that it took over 9,000 years for an egg to hatch.

The last Dragon Lord was born at the end of ancient times.

The ancient times were 10,000 years ago. That meant that Raon must have stayed as an egg for a minimum of 9,000 years.

"Wow, that long" tboah!Lock said in amazement.

tcf!Pendrick who revived once again was frozen with a smile while holding his hands together above his chest.

He wondered if something like that was possible.

Dragons were stronger the longer they took to hatch.

That was why Eruhaben had expected that Raon would have spent a long time inside his egg.

However, Raon was not strong enough for him to have expected close to 10,000 years. It looks like we need to chat with the white Dragon some more. The White Star seems to be the one who destroyed this place.

Everyone frown. That white thing must be eradicated. They all seem to promise.

"That white star again" tcf!Cale was getting sick at reading that name. "I better get rid of him quickly," he thought as he looks at Raon.

It was obvious.

Cale assumed it was the White Star's doing as soon as the white Dragon said that the, 'former owner of your power,' had caused the damage.

"So the white star formerly owns my power?" tcf!Cale was displeased, not liking having any relation to that white thing.

But stop at that thought as he focuses on something else 'former owner' "does that mean that the white star is already dead?" He thought.. but something tells him it wasn't that.

Don't you think it would be better to discuss after sending Raon out-

"That's right, this is something that shouldn't be discussed with Raon, tho he's a dragon he is still a child" tcf!Cale have that previous thought the moment it was mentioned that the place was destroyed..

But as he look at Raon, though he's trembling he held a determined face. He also remembers what Raon said to him. So he let it be as he rubbed the young dragon's back.

However, Eruhaben had to stop speaking to Cale.

"...Human."

It was because Raon started to mumble.

Raon turned away from the white Dragon and squished his face on Cale's back as he continued to speak.

"...Human, I don't think I am smart. Human, human. I am great and mighty, but I don't think I can look."

Eruhaben found these words and actions to be odd. The others felt the same way.

'Why is he acting like this?'

"Yes, why?" tcf!Cale thought. He was having a bad feeling.

As both Eruhaben frown, glancing at the kiddie dragon now and then.

It was at that moment.

The white Dragon watched as Cale moved Raon from his back and hugged him in front and then looked at her. Raon squished his face on Cale's chest this time.

Cale started to speak.

"I don't know magic, so I can only ask out loud like this."

Cale asked in a slightly sad voice.

Everyone flinches at that sad voice.

Though slightly it holds a lot of weight.

They were once again dreading what he will ask.

He knew why Raon was acting like this.

"Why are there two beds?"

There were two small beds in this small room.

The second bed was probably not for the white Dragon.

There were two of every book.

Two of every toy.

There were two of everything in the room.

Ah!

No...

Everyone gasps in horror at what was written. They know full well what it meant.

"Tsk." tcf!Cale clicks his tongue as he holds the trembling young dragon tightly.

"No..no.." Raon clung to tcf!Cale tightly.

Sheritt closes her eyes as she clunch her heart

Cale could see the white Dragon start to frown. The illusion made of magic looked at the back of Raon's head that was buried in Cale's chest and continued to speak.

"One black egg. And-"

Eruhaben cut the white Dragon off at that moment. He had not planned to do it. He was just so shocked that he subconsciously started to shout.

"Unbelievable! Dragons can only lay one egg!"

Only one egg at a time.

That was the law of nature.

Every dragon agrees that's why this is unbelievable. They can't believe that the Dragon lord lay two eggs.

However, Cale could see the white Dragon start to smile again and continue to speak.

"And one red egg."

"Where is the red egg?" tcf!Jack hopes that it still lives since the young dragon-nim also hatched and live.

Cale looked down at his left hand.

The crown was shaking weakly and not trying to suck Raon's blood out even though they were touching.

"Why do I have such a dangerous item?" tcf!Cale frown not liking how it was dangerous to Raon.

Ooooooooong.

That crown started to shake vigorously again. ...Dragon......

The crown was full of fear and anger as it continued to speak. ...Dragon half-blood......

'Dragon half-blood?'

"Dragon half-blood?"

Everyone was surprised, especially those who know about the dragon half-bloods.

"First absorbed ancient power speak, now a crown speaks too?" tboah!Bud said indecorously.

[]

The information about the Dragon half-blood gathered in his mind at the same time.

He thought about how they first met in the Caro Kingdom and fought against him. He went all the way up to that piece of information.

"Wait. I fought where and with whom?" tcf!Cale was wearing an indecorous face.

"I think he means Choi Hans party while I was just at the back witnessing the battle" He relax at that thought.

He recalled something that the Dragon half-blood said during that battle.

'This is really weird. What is this odd scent of a Lord?'

The Dragon half-blood clearly had said, 'lord.'

'Are you a Dragon?'

'You're a Dragon. Hmm? Are you a Dragon that came out to play? Is it you? Or is it that thing next to you? Hmm?'

In the end, he had mistakenly believed Cale was a Dragon half-blood.

"That's a horrible way to be mistaken as" tcf!Cale thought as he frown and shudder being mistaken as a dragon half-blood.

Cale just put those memories in the back of his mind. However, he got the chills after thinking about something else the Dragon half-blood had said.

He clearly remembered what the Dragon half-blood had said.

'...I smell a Lord. That power from earlier was definitely a Dragon Lord. I know it was. I've smelled it before.'

He had said that he had smelled the Lord's scent before.

How could the Dragon half-blood who had lived for about 900 years have smelled the scent of the Dragon Lord who had disappeared for at least 9,000 years?

How?

Ba-dump Ba-dump

"I-It can't be.."

As everyone was forming a theory in their thoughts.

"W-What does that mean human?" Raon asks but already forming his own answer.

"It means we need to know more" tcf!Cale said in a firm voice.

[End... Preparing for the next]

"Again! Why the abrupt ending!" tboah!Cale said in an outburst.

"Give us the rest of the information!"og!Cale was also mad for the abrupt ending.

"Tsk." tcf!Cale clicks his tongue having the same sentiment.

"I-I want to know more" Raon stands up at tcf!Cale's trembling lap.

"Then please come to the Castle of Light," a calm voice said.

!!!

Everyone was surprised at the sudden appearance of a half-transparent existence. "Invisible magic" some thought.

Raon look at the white dragon with trembling emotions.

"Hello, my son" Sherritt said with a smile as she flies near them.

Then she touches the glass-like wall and pushes.

Tack

Tack

Tack

After the third push, she went through the glass-like wall.

"Pyah!"

...!

"As expected from the Emperor of Magic." Everyone thought.

"My power is still suppressed here so I could only be in this side for a moment" Sherritt explains as she draws near to where her son is.

She then got closer to Raon.

As Raon looks at her while being near his human.

"In a short moment that I'm here," she said with eyes that hold love "may I hold you? my son."

Raon hesitates and looks at his human.

"Do what you want" tcf!Cale simply said with a firm tone.

Raon felt confident at the firm tone so he hesitantly flys toward the outreach hands.

When he got near, he was enveloped in a hug.

"My son.. my son," She said holding her son tightly as she tremble.

Not knowing what to do for having overwhelming experiences, Raon introduces himself "I-I'm the great and m-mighty Raon Miru!"

"Yes, Raon you truly have a wonderful name" she look at her son who was also trembling with wonder and mixed emotions.

Raon immediately flew back to his human side and bury his face in his chest as he peeks at his m-mothe- the white dragon.

Sherritt look at tcf!Cale "I'm forever grateful to you and your companions who rescued my child," she said as she continues

"But I ask of you, please.." She can feel being forced back to the other side of the glass "please go to the Castle of light."

tcf!Cale looks at Raon in his hand. Then look at Sherritt and firmly nod.

Seeing the determined gaze, Sherritt let herself be dragged back to the other side of the glass-like wall with a smile and a light heart.
