"It’s you... you reincarnated?! Like Alma and Drake... And Benladann!" Lucia cried, hugging her brother. "Brotheeeer! I missed you...! Y-You don’t know how much I’ve missed you..."
"Lucia... I know. I’ve missed you as well. There hasn’t been a day when I haven’t thought about you..." Surtr cried, hugging her tightly. "I can’t believe this... you really ca from Earth... you really did!"
"Yeah... I did..." Lucia smiled. "This is a miracle... just like with Miranda and Benladann... There’s so much we need to catch up on... so much to talk..."
"I know..." Surtr nodded. "I was reincarnated here as a fire dragon, you know? It was crazy! And I’ve survived however I could. A big dragon family adopted here... look, they’re here with !"
"Eeeh?!" Lucia gasped as a large group of dragons made of soul flas erged from Surtr’s Aura.
"So you’re our boy’s sister from his previous life?"
"I can’t believe this!"
"Wow, that sure is incredible..."
"So the worlds are really rging, what a beautiful coincidence amidst all this chaos..."
"She’s such a pretty human! I love her red hair!"
"W-Woah! Woah!" Lucia was shocked as the dragons surrounded her, inspecting every inch of her body. It was as if they now had a new sister too. "W-What the hell, brother?! These are your family now?"
"Unfortunately, I was the last Fire Dragon," Surtr said. "They’re all souls living inside the Draconic Records. But they’ve been with anyway, as ghosts or souls, always helping ... even my mother of this world."
"It is nice to et you, dear... Surtr has always talked about you," a giant dragoness, Muspel, erged. "You’re as lovely as he said... I’m very happy you’re here."
"A-Ahhh... Wow..." Lucia gasped. "You’re... I guess you’re like Drake?"
"Yeah, I’m a dragon king too, in a way..." Surtr laughed. "He’s my dear master and the one who taught everything I know!"
"Wow... big brother..." Lucia smiled, shedding a few tears. "You’ve really built a whole life here, huh?"
"Yeah! I sure did..." Surtr laughed through tears. "Ah, right! I have two wives here and two adorable kids too! I’m sure you’ll love them."
"Wait, you got kids?!" she gasped. "T-Two wives?! What’s going on here?"
"They were twins, so I couldn’t really... refuse one," Surtr sighed. "But I promise I am not a pervert, sister! It’s just how it happened... people in this world have a different culture."
"I-I understand... sorry, I overreacted," Lucia sighed. "I’m happy you’ve made a wonderful life here, big brother... I kind of want to see your family now..."
"Master, can we?" Surtr asked.
"Of course...!" Drake nodded. "Go ahead! This is your family ti."
"Thanks!" Surtr said happily. "Sister, let’s go!"
"W-Wait, Surtr, where are you taking - Woaaaaah!" Lucia cried as she was suddenly teleported.
"Lucia?!" Chris cried.
"She’s gone..." Jake said.
"Hey, Drake, is this really okay?!" Chris asked.
"Don’t be jealous. It’s her damn brother. Let them have their ti together," Drake sighed. "She’ll co back with him soon enough. I’m sure she won’t stay there too long either way."
"Uugh... okay..." Chris sighed. "I’m just worried, okay? I’m not jealous of him taking her away out of nowhere..."
"Hmm..." Jake looked at Chris, raising an eyebrow.
"Whatever, man. Let’s go et the King. She’ll be back in a few hours at most," Drake laughed, patting his shoulders. "Let’s go."
anwhile, Lucia was teleported to the interior of a dungeon, which Surtr guided her through.
Once outside, she erged inside the mountain of the fire giant tribe, where her brother lived with his family.
The surroundings had changed greatly, with much more greenery, and the sky was generally more blue than the fiery red from before.
This was because the entire continent had nearly been destroyed and was hastily repaired by Drake and the other dragons.
When this happened, Elental Essences of various elents were infused into the landscape, no longer dominated by volcanic wastelands.
However, Lucia quickly realized it was still intensely hot.
"Oof, big brother, where are we? Where did you bring ? Chris and Jake...! You left them behind?"
"Sorry, sorry, we’ll go back in a few minutes. Please co with !"
"This is... What’s this place? A mountain?"
"Yeah, co here."
Surtr led her inside a large cave, guarded by two tall, burly fire giants who looked down at them.
"Lord Surtr, welco back... Hm?"
"You have brought a friend?"
"Actually, this is my sister! Her na is Lucia!"
"Sister, you said?!"
The two fire giants gasped, glaring at Lucia with intimidating eyes, only to smile gently at her.
"It is an honor to et you, young lady."
"Yes, please co inside our village. A sister of our savior is also our family."
"Aahh... T-Thanks..."
Lucia slowly made her way inside, but the heat was overwhelming.
Although she was an Esper who had mastered Pyrokinesis, she wasn’t immune to fire or her own flas.
In fact, she had burned herself many tis, so she always wore special fireproof equipnt, especially gloves, to avoid burning her hands.
"It’s really hot in here. Is this a volcano?"
"Ah, yeah, it is... Sorry, I forgot. I was too excited."
Surtr hugged her again, making Lucia blush and then smile, returning the hug.
"Hehe, what’s this? Hugging your little sister again?"
As she giggled happily, she felt a divine power embrace her. After Surtr kissed her forehead, a small red rune shaped like a dragon appeared on her right hand.
"W-What’s this?! Woah...!"
Lucia was shocked. Her powers surged as she felt the embrace of flas and draconic power now dwelling within her.
"I gave you my blessing and a title as my sister," Surtr said. "I can do this for those I deem worthy of my power and protection. You’ll et them over there, my family and friends."
"I-I see..." Lucia nodded. "I feel so strong now, and my flas are upgraded..."
Lucia opened the palms of her hands, seeing her flas could now take the shape of small dragons, dragon jaws, eyes, or scales at will.
It was strange, but it opened new possibilities for her flas, which had been mostly offensive before.
What changed the most was her innate resistance to fire, if not complete immunity.
Her own flas no longer burned her, and her pale hands remained pristine, free of scars.
"I don’t get burned by my own flas anymore... haha, this is insane... Thank you so much, big brother! You’re amazing..."
"Aw, it’s nothing, really! A small gesture, if anything. I love you so much, Lucia. I’m so happy you survived..."
