Mommy Vyvyan also soon woke up. Well, not exactly soon, since she was out until night ti. Although I still had my flesh, my scales felt a little stiff at night. My limbs and fingers felt stiff when I moved about.
I sat next to the fire. Vyvyan and the dragon did their best to stay as far away from each other as possible. Vyvyan still didnt like the dragon whatsoever. Instead, Vyvyan was brimming with hostility toward Dragon Mom. If I wasnt present, she probably wouldve attacked her. Mommy Vyvyan was apologetic to , because she nearly strangled to death. She was very scared and even afraid of getting close to as a result.
I didnt intend to make a fuss over it. In fact, my feelings for Mommy Vyvyan hadnt changed in the least. For , nothing she ever did was unforgivable. To the contrary, it was who was in the wrong in the first place. Fortunately, she was feeling guilty toward , so the three of us could sit together in peace.
With that said, the dragon was always unfriendly to Vyvyan, but that couldnt be any more normal. Vyvyan did team up with Ying and kill her once, after all. Nobody would like the person who murdered them. As for Ying, the dragon was even more vigilant of her, since Ying was able to pierce her scales that she was proud of.
Ying was very obedient next to . She did ask that we get back to the lighthouse as soon as possible, since Xias body was there. Ying was afraid sothing bad would happen if she was separated from her body for too long. While there was nobody else present, she was still very worried without her most important person by her side.
I looked at the stuff in my hand. There was a black ball-shaped object. Actually, it wasnt completely black but purple. It was unmoving. They were the organs that Dragon Mom left for . Additionally, there was a yellow eyeball. My organs and eyes werent included in what she gave . I pumped dragon blood around my elven organs. That ant the dragon blood wasnt of much use to .
Son, this is a dragons heart. An elfs heart isnt that big in reality. If you continue using an elfs heart, the function of the dragons blood wont be that important. You need to switch yours out for a dragons in order for the dragons blood to take full effect. If possible I can help you
Vyvyan seed to have sothing she really wanted to say to . She leaned in toward . She looked at sowhat fearfully and nervously, not daring to approach and hug . She appeared to worry that Id push her away. Eyes on the heart in front of , I asked, What can this do for ?
Immortality.
The dragon suddenly spoke up, leading to Vyvyan spitting as an expression of contempt. She angrily looked in the dragons direction: I dont care what business you have, you just shut up! Im speaking to my son, understood?! Hes my son!!
It is my heart! Mine! Dragon Mom almost roared at Vyvyan.
I didnt think the dragon was in the wrong It was what she left for . Dragon Mom explained to , It does not provide you with immortality but a long lifespan, nevertheless. Thou are a dragon, so thou should have a dragons blood. By having a dragons blood, thou can have the lifespan of a dragon.
I nodded, and then looked to the heart in front of . Previously, I was just an ordinary hybrid of elven and human genetics, and my lifespan was shorter than a humans. I didnt want a long lifespan, though. A long lifespan wasnt a blessing but torture to .
I saw Dragon Mom lose everything she loved due to her long lifespan. For , who was initially human, a long lifespan wasnt a very blissful thing. Having a short lifespan would make cherish every mont. My lifespan might be short, but that was what gave value to all of the blissful things that happened around . That was what would allow to pass on with my eyes shut and a happy smile. A dragons lifespan might be long, but my moms, my wives and my children were whom I cherish. Without them, living was aningless to .
If you use a dragons blood and heart, youll be able to heal most wounds. Youll even be able to return from the dead as long as you have an intact corpse. Damaged organs can be repaired. Of course, that isnt revival. Its just turning you into a puppet of your own mana by using the dragons blood and heart. Vyvyan seed to want to ingratiate herself with . She did her best to explain the dragons heart to at my side.
I spaced out as I looked at the dragon heart in front of .
You could revive a dead person as long as you have a bit of mana, a heart and dragon blood. To be precise, theyd beco a belonging of the mana supplied. That ant I could use my mana to activate the dragons heart, subsequently making the dragons blood flow. Then, Id use the dragons blood to repair damaged organs and what have you. In other words, theyd basically beco my slave. They werent alive, but they werent dead. Basically, they were an existence that I forcibly commanded to live.
Co on, Son. Co. Mommy will help you put this heart inside, and youll have the lifespan of a dragon. Youll be able to live as long as Mommy. You can live with Mommy forever.
Mommy Vyvyan seed to be crazy about pleasing . She looked at with excitent. She tried to approach and put the heart into my body.
Ill pass, Mom. I shook my head and placed the heart downIn a soft, but resolute voice, I explained, A long lifespan is aningless to . In my opinion, life is about how you live, not how long you live. As you once said, not everybody lives once. Death is very simple. Mom, Im not afraid to die. The only thing Im worried about is being unable to live a perfect life. My aning in life is my family. If theyre no longer in this world, I dont have any desire to live. Further, I will do everything I can to do things as soon as possible, since I have a short life.
Mommy Vyvyan was stupefied. She didnt expect to reject the proposal. Everybody, particularly those who have families, wealth and power, will continuously search for a way to extend their life. That was just instinctual, and it applied to all species. You could only enjoy the beautiful things life had to offer if you were alive. You could only enjoy everything you had if you were alive. You spent so much ti to acquire it all, which was why you need longer to enjoy it.
I didnt want that, though. I wanted sobody else to live instead of extending my lifespan. I want to give my life to her; or should I say, return to her?
Luna once saved my life. She died, because she tried to protect . I had always been very grateful for her sacrifice, but also very guilty. I never gave her anything. I never gave her any promises and never possessed anything from her. Instead, I always used her to find salvation and to find nice things.
Luna never asked for anything. She had the right to obtain things and even ask for a title, but she never did. She always stayed by my side with a smile and fulfilled the duties of a personal servant. She never leveraged her position as my personal servant to run amok. She always did things for my sake, yet was happy just being able to stay by my side. She always wore that smile that was as bright as the sun.
I solemnly said, I want to save Luna. She saved my heart, so I must use the remainder of my life to repay her.
But, Son this is a dragons heart Vyvyan was startled. She desperately wanted to stop from giving the heart away, but didnt dare to oppose , for she was afraid Id get angry.
I nodded: To , I want to see my Luna more than I want to live a long life. Its aningless for to have a long life. I just want to see my Luna once again. I can give up everything for my Luna. Moreover, this doesnt belong to .
I looked at Dragon Mom, and then solemnly added, This is her heart.
I do not mind. Thou can do as thou likes. It is thy heart. Thou can do as thou likes. Dragon Mom shook her head, indicating she wasnt going to interfere with my decision.
I nodded then looked back at Mommy Vyvyan, who was next to . I sincerely said, Mom, I really want to give this to Luna. I want to revive her even if shes just a puppet. Ill be fine as long as shes by my side. I want to see Lunas smile again. Her smile is the gift I want more than anything.
Mommy Vyvyan didnt reply. She, instead, looked at with hopelessness. Her eyes were filled with sorrow. She looked at in silence for a long ti. She wanted to speak up but didnt. I knew she was afraid of angering , so she was very reluctant to let go through with it, but she didnt want to stop . I carefully put the heart away to avoid damaging it. I finally managed to get myself so clothes and my backpack with Mommy Vyvyan and Dragon Moms help. I finally looked my usual self.
There are still the eyes. You can give yourself the dragon eyes, right? After all, youve switched everything out for new parts. Only your elven eyes arent up to par, right?
I picked up the eyes that were akin to large glass balls. I didnt know what to say; but nevertheless, did I really need a new pair of eyes?
