Creation Of All Things-Chapter 147: Arriving Back On Virelia

They weren't family heads anymore. Not here.

Here, they were just part of the crowd—until they proved otherwise.

"Wait... where's Adam?" Gloria frowned, scanning the area. "We all came down but no one's telling us anything. And he just disappeared again."

Baldur stood with Jane by his side, the old man's posture a bit hunched, but his eyes still sharp. Behind them were Tatia, Franklin, and Lucian Ashborne—yes, the Lucian Ashborne, rarely seen outside his domain. Even he looked impressed.

Kael stepped forward slowly, eyes scanning the horizon. He looked calm… but you could tell his mind was racing.

Then—

BOOOOM!

A huge gust of wind knocked up dust as a deafening roar echoed through the sky. Everyone looked up.

A massive dragon, obsidian scales and gold accents running along its wings, circled the sky above them. Its wings flapped once, sending shockwaves through the air. Its roar shook the ground.

People from Earth backed away, many dropping to the ground in panic.

Then a voice, relaxed and slightly annoyed, echoed from below.

"Kael'Thar… stop being dramatic."

Everyone turned.

Standing casually in the middle of the square, hand in pocket, was a young man in sleek armor, a black coat fluttering in the wind.

Someone gasped.

"Joshua?!"

Before anyone could react, Alice vanished from her spot and reappeared right in front of him.

"You're alive! And… strong… and… insanely strong!" she said, her voice trembling with a mix of shock and emotion.

Joshua just smiled and stepped closer.

"Alice. I've missed you."

Then, without warning, he leaned in and kissed her—right there in front of everyone.

The whole crowd went silent.

Alice's eyes widened. Her cheeks flushed bright red as her hands twitched midair.

The kiss ended as fast as it started.

"…W-What the hell was that?!" she stammered, still frozen.

Joshua just grinned, his tone playful. "Just catching up on lost time."

Victoria's mouth hung open. "Yo, did he just—"

Selene let out a low whistle. "He's definitely not shy boy who was hiding when we fought anymore."

Even Kael smirked up at the dragon, now calmly landing beside the group.

Kael'Thar's deep voice rumbled, "I approve."

Everyone turned their heads up toward Kael'Thar, the massive dragon still circling overhead like a living storm cloud. His silver scales shimmered in the sun, casting reflections across the buildings. People gulped nervously, stepping back.

"Who the hell just keeps a dragon like that?" someone muttered.

Down on the ground, Franklin's face darkened.

"Brat," he growled, eyes locked on Joshua, who still had Alice wrapped in his arms. "Did you just kiss my granddaughter… in front of me?"

Joshua gave an awkward laugh, rubbing the back of his neck. "Y-Yeah… sorry about that, old man."

"Dad," Madeline sighed, stepping forward. "She's not a kid anymore."

Franklin gave her a sidelong glare but didn't say anything. Just folded his arms and let out a long, grumpy harrumph.

Alice, still red-faced, buried her head in Joshua's chest. "Please stop looking at me."

Joshua just smiled and held her tighter. "Too late."

That's when Raina stepped out of the crowd, tilting her head as she walked over to Joshua.

"Hey… where's Aurora?"

Joshua blinked as he looked at her. His brows furrowed. The resemblance was way too strong. The hair, the eyes, even the way she stood—it was like looking at a younger, less terrifying version of Aurora.

"You must be her sister," he said, still processing the uncanny similarity. "Damn. That gene pool is dangerous."

Raina gave a tiny grin. "I'll take that as a compliment."

Joshua turned to the others. "Alright, you all can follow me. I'll show you where you'll be staying."

He glanced around once more, brows tightening. "Though, uh… where's Adam? He's the one who should be doing this."

Kael'Thar gave a low growl from above, like he was listening to the conversation. Still no sign of Adam.

Joshua frowned. "I mean… he is here, right? Kael'Thar doesn't just fly around for fun."

"He arrived with us," Yara spoke, stepping forward and bowing slightly. "He got into a fight not long ago. He's likely resting in his cabin now."

Joshua looked at her, eyes narrowing for a second before softening. "You must be Yara."

"Yes." She kept her head down. "I've only recently joined him… but I know who you are, sir."

Joshua scratched his cheek, looking a bit embarrassed. "No need for the 'sir' stuff. It makes me feel old."

"You are old," Alice teased, finally raising her head.

"Ouch."

A soft chuckle passed through the group.
