Ch.121 Pioneering a New Era
30 minutes later, Theodore had finally made it to the top of the Dragon Mountain.
Originally, it wouldn’t have taken so long for a flying Magic Beast to reach the top of the Mountain from the bottom, but ever since it had beco a Sacred Land it had largely grown in size, and then when the World had evolved it had grown once more, reaching the size that it was now, which was so high that you could barely see the clouds that you had once passed below. Now, even a Magic Beast Dragon like Theodore had to spend arduous effort to reach the top.
However, when he did, he couldn’t stop elation from rising in his heart and dispelling so of the murky darkness within. The 15 Peaks were that spectacular.
Not only was it one of the most beautiful sights he had ever seen, but the quality of the ambient Magical Energy was just subli. And although he was unable to directly absorb it like the 14 Supre Dragons and Dragon King were allegedly able to do, it still made him feel extrely comfortable.
But then when he thought about how this was only his third ti visiting this place, the darkness within his heart could only grow larger.
Because of his low value, he wasn’t allowed to co to such places except on special occasions. Disregarding the strange ti that the Dragon King himself had requested his presence (which he still till this day thought was 1 of the reasons that he was so frequently bullied), the only other ti he was allowed to co here, was when the abnormal yet ridiculously beautiful golden Dragon had revealed her identity as the fallen goddess of Creation to all.
Back then they didn't know what a goddess was, talk less of so kind of ‘goddess of creation’. But when she stated that she was the one who created the World, along with a majority of the races (with the Dragons being the first race ever created), everyone had been shocked senseless, before imdiately disparaging her words and calling her a crazy liar (sothing they imnsely regret nowadays). They questioned why she was so weak, with a few who had been jealous of her special treatnt all along accusing her of being so weak that she had to leech off the Dragon race. However, the goddess gracefully and magnanimously explained how she had been betrayed by the sinister god of ice.
The story was told in such a compelling way that even Theodore felt anger rising within him, unbelieving of how soone could be so evil to soone so kind and innocent.
Later on, the goddess spoke about how lucky she was to quickly escape at the last mont and reincarnate as a mber of the Dragon race. She even winked and said ‘don’t tell anyone else that the Dragons are my favourite’, which obviously caused many to guffaw with pride. Theodore even rembered thinking that the goddess was legit then and there. And it was then that the Dragon King (who had most likely heard the story before), told everyone that they needed to do all that they could to help the goddess ‘take back her divine cave’.
…Haah~ how embarrassing. Divine cave? Seriously? Now that they had the knowledge that they had now, they realised how insulting and pointedly stupid it was to say such a thing.
Tch, stupid King.
After that, the goddess told them that they didn’t have to do much, and all they had to do was fill the World with creation, create anything that they liked and spread her na. They also had to do sothing called prayer (which they later found out to be a wonderful thing), but that was it. Apparently, such acts would grant her sothing called Faith Energy, and that would give her back so of her power, but it was quite weird. However, when the goddess started teaching them about the different things that they could create (with examples), they were flabbergasted!
After that it didn’t take long for their race to be pioneered into a new era where instead of just taking, consuming, and growing, the Dragon race started to learn how to stockpile knowledge, and use various materials to create all kinds of things.
There were culinary arts (the most popular form of creation), sculpting, architecture, music, dancing, alchemy, rune formation, blacksmithing (one of the rarest), and much more! It was wonderful, and it was all thanks to the goddess!
Theodore felt passion coursing through his veins when thought about becoming a mighty blacksmith (which was his second biggest dream), but when he rembered the… what he liked to call ‘low-likelihood’ instead of impossibility, his mood dampened once more.
He and Lyrria had already decided to beco the perfect duo of Blacksmith and Rune Inscriptionist, but whilst the young Fire Dragoness had already embarked on that journey, he couldn’t even get his head in. It was a massive blow to his ego.
Theodore sighed, deciding to get his head out of the gutter and focus on looking for what he ca for.
After utilising his small size to bypass a sea of flying Dragons (no he wasn’t going to be thankful), he eventually ended up at the forefront of the crowd, where he could finally lay eyes on the goddess herself.
She had golden scales, light yellow horns and claws that almost seed like they were carved from light, an imposing height of 20 tres (which Theodore suspected had sothing to do with a high attainnt in Anatomy Refinent), a feminine figure that caused many in the crowd to feel dazed, and soul-sucking golden eyes that caused all sorts of reactions. Fear, reverence, lust, love. Any of these things could be felt with a single look.
She was extrely beautiful, and by common standards, was definitely the most attractive female Dragon of all ti.
But… Theodore just really couldn’t dig it.
Although she was beautiful, when Theodore looked at her, he always thought that she looked tooo beautiful. Rather than thoughts of lust, her beauty would only inspire a feeling of wonder within him, kind of like when he looked at a spectacular creation. Sothing to be admired but not touched.
On the other hand…
Theodore turned his head to the left where he caught the sight of a familiar figure that had plagued almost all of his thoughts since the day he t her.
