Reborn as a DRAGON-Chapter 464: Fun

Chapter 464: Fun

Two months have passed since we came to Sa Wa's world. Nothing of note happened. Essie left for the mortal realm of this plane and has yet to return. Immy left to check on her once and returned once she ensured she was all right.

I didn't see much of Ynos nor Lost either this past month. They rarely stayed still for long and were stuck to one another. Immy was content with going back to her old habits of napping under the sun for the entire day, while Sidus was perhaps the most productive out of all of us. He constantly honed his control over the mana in preparation for the day he would take on the mantle as Nilath's successor. Breta was also at peace with our situation. She enjoyed spending her time walking through the gardens and sipping tea. Where did she get her tea from? I never questioned it.

As for me, I have been waiting for the King to contact me, to no avail. I even built a little shrine for him in one of the gardens, with Sa Wa's approval, of course. Yet he remains silent.

'Perhaps he doesn't like my shrine?' I wondered as I looked at the little statue of a dragon before me. It was crudely made from stone, and I placed it in what looked to be a miniature temple. Ynos helped me make it.

I wasn't sure if it was considered a blasphemous thing to do, but I was desperate. The wait was killing me. It was strange to go from constantly being in battle after battle to having nothing to do but wait.

I took a deep breath and lowered my head in respect before the statue. My eyes wandered across the garden. It wasn't as big as the ones floating above the underwater palace, but it was beautiful nonetheless. Sa Wa had it placed in one of the rooms with an open ceiling and a view of the ocean. It gave the garden an ethereal feeling.

A small smile stretched across my face as I turned to leave. Breta was waiting by the door with a deadpan expression.

"Are you sure that's going to work?" She asked.

"Not really, but I'm running out of ideas," I shrugged.

"Maybe he just doesn't want to talk to you?"

Her words made me frown, but I didn't know how to respond so I remained silent.

Two months of calling out to him and yet nothing. Could he even hear me? Perhaps Sa Wa was right. I can only wait for him to contact me.

"What are you doing here?" I changed the subject and asked the Goddess.

"Your little sister is back."

"Essie?"

Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author.

Breta nodded, "Yes, I think she might have caused a mess in the mortal realm."

I raised my brows at that and asked, "A mess? Why do you say that?"

"You'll understand when you see her."

"Let's go."

Leaving the garden behind, we walked through the cold hallways of the palace, occasionally passing by massive windows that showcased the vast, deep ocean. I could even see some fish swimming close by.

Once we reached the open hall Sa Wa gave us as our accommodation, I could see Immy and Sidus surrounding little Essie, who had a guilty expression on her face.

Ynos and Lost were nowhere to be found, so I assumed they were still outside and had yet to return.

My presence did not go unnoticed. Sidus turned around to face me with an awkward expression on his face while Immy was covering her face with her claws. Little Essie had her head lowered.

"What happened?" I asked.

Immy sighed and looked at Essie, "Tell him what you did."

"I..." She mumbled something under her breath.

"Huh?" I tilted my head in confusion.

"I..." She once again spoke in a whisper.

I turned to Sidus and gestured at her, "What did she do?"

"She fought the mortals," his expression was odd as he spoke.

"Essie did?"

"Yes," he nodded.

"They probably deserved it, then."

Her eyes beamed at my response, and she quickly raised her head, "Y-Yes!"

"No! Don't spoil her, brother," Immy glared at her and then turned to me.

Essie shrunk under her gaze, "But they really did deserve it..."

"We are guests on this planet. Luckily Sa Wa did not take offense to her actions, but what if he did? She can't be this impulsive," Immy scolded her without stopping.

"Well, did you hear her side of the story first?" I asked in an attempt to calm things down.

Immy shook her head again and spoke, "Come on, tell him."

"I-I really didn't do anything wrong brother! I-I made friends with a mortal, and then some other mortals tried to kill her, so I killed them! That's all!"

I glanced at Immy, who continued to shake her head. "Details Essie, details."

"Details?" I asked.

"Yes, details on how she caused a revolution in a mortal kingdom and caused the downfall of the previous monarchy for her so-called friend!"

"Oh..." I muttered and looked at Essie who lowered her head in shame.

"I-I didn't mean to do it."

"So you didn't mean to publically execute their previous King and proclaim he's evil?" Immy pressed.

"Ah... That," Before Essie could reply, Immy interrupted her and continued speaking, "And I'm sure you didn't mean to place your friend on the throne, right?"

Essie scratched her head and turned to me with a pleading expression on her face. I shook my head and took a step back. Immy looked scary right now, and I wasn't planning on standing in the line of fire. 'Sorry, Essie. You're on your own in this one.'

I silently took a step back under Essie's pitiful gaze and left the hall with both Breta and Sidus by my side.

"Did she really incite a revolution?" I asked.

"I wouldn't be surprised," Breta answered calmly.

"I'm sure there's be some sort of misunderstanding. Essie is too nice, after all."

Sidus raised his brow and looked as if he wanted to say something but ultimately didn't.

"Anyways, where's Ynos and Lost?"

"They left for the mortal plane as well. Lost took him to find chocolate. I believe that's what she called it."

"Everyone seems to be going to the mortal realm. Is it fun?" I asked.

Sidus shrugged, "I don't know. I will take my leave first, I still need to train," Sidus gave me a short bow and left, leaving me and Breta behind.

"What do you think?" I glanced at her and asked.

"About?"

"The mortal realm, should we go give it a visit? The gardens are nice, but I am starting to get bored doing nothing."

Breta shrugged, "I don't care."

"Hmm, could be fun," I muttered.
