He was now fully sure, who's this voice belonged to. With his fear all gone, he gradually tipped his neck up. His eyes taking in the view with wide eyes.
In the darkest of the void, where he was now gazing, there was only one silhouette. A silhouette only consisting of stars but it wasn't the marvelous view that surprised him but the fra of the being itself.
The outline showing his, long gorgeous horns, his monstrous, protruding mouth, and the thing that gave it all away. His large reptilian eyes, shining like a whole galaxy was revolving around them.
Upon looking at those srizing eyes, he couldn't blink, no the beauty didn't allow it so. He felt like if he ever stopped looking at them he would regret it for the rest of his life. His whole being admiring and revering the gigantic figure in front of him.
"Are you a.Dragon.or .a God?" he questioned as he slowly cald down, his specter aura again coming into play.
[HMM..YOU CAN STILL HANDLE MY FORM..PRETTY ADMIRABLE FOR A HUMAN.WELL, IT MUST BE MY AURA CALMING YOU DOWN..
TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, YES I AM A DRAGON AND FOR FURTHER CAUTION IF I MISTAKE KILL YOU, DON'T EVER COMPARE US MIGHTY DRAGONS WITH THOSE PUNY GODS OF YOUR WORLD.] the dragon bellowed, a hint of anger lingering around his eyes.
Atlas felt his heart stop beating for a second, his throat all dried from that single threat. He again felt the soul crawling fear, he once experiences when they first talked and it wasn't all for so reason he even beca angry at himself. It was a strange feeling.
"sosorry, it's been what four years since we tin the first place, why am I heream I dead again?"
[HAHAHAHA...NO, NOT DEAD.....YOU ARE JUST AT YOUR ORIGIN, WHICH YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE RIGHT NOW. YOU ARE STILL..]
"Too weak, I presu..hmm.origin huh, from my knowledge, my bloodline, the 'Don' bloodline isn't related to."
[?....YOU HUMANS AND YOUR PUNY LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE. THE ORIGIN IS MUCH COMPLEXE THAN JUST BLOODLINE.
ORIGIN IS THE MONT OF CONNECTION TO WHERE YOUR SOUL STARTED FROM, IN YOUR CASE. YOU STARTED FROM]
"you..."
[YES.!! I'M YOUR ORIGIN. SO BE THANKFUL.I HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR ASS...WELL, IT WOULDN'T BE POSSIBLE, IF YOU DIDN'T HARNESSED MY AURA TO THIS LEVEL..YOU ARE THE THIRD..ONE? HAAA.I CAN'T REMBER.
HAAAIIII!!!!!
....I'M SLEEPY... WELL, IT WAS NICE KNOWING, THERE IS SOONE WHO CAN HANDLE MY AURA.
NOW GO....]
Atlas was in shock that he had a different origin than others and was also a bit excited to be connected with soone so powerful who brought him to this world, but he also had many questions? Was the legend true? Were the ones who brought mana to this world were the dragons, why the corpse of soone he didn't know, brought him to his origin..there were so many questions and no answers.
'Did lily lied about this being related to space? Haaa..too many questions and no answers'
[HMM? WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE.GO NOW, I WANT TO HAVE MY PRECIOUS SLEEP]
He bellowed, slowly closing his eyes.
Atlas felt a sudden pull within him, the sa feeling when the corpse gripped his hand all of a sudden.
'No, wait'
He used his specter aura right away, the feeling being pulled lowering down.
"Ummm.can I ask so questions, just give a little bit of ti, nothing more."
The mighty dragon's eyes slightly opened, feeling the urge to just disintegrate the puny human to nonexistence but his soul was already dyed with her own by so miracle. So she couldn't just outright vanish him.
[NO MORE...I WILL GIVE YOU, WHAT YOU ARE LACKING AS A REWARD FOR NOT DYING USING MY AURA.NOW GOOOO..]
Atlas started to feel his system acting on its own, with many notifications popping like never before and the pull inside him got even stronger than his specter aura couldn't handle it any longer.
"wai.haaaaa..."
With his last words. He vanished from the void, the peace and serenity finally returning
[FINALLY..]
Her eyes finally closed again, never to be opened like it was supposed to, for eons and eons to co.

"So here we are.." Alia said.
"Yes...it's your first ti huh."
Alia looked around, gazing at the wreckage, the destruction that one explosion brought. Yes, the explosion was a big hit on the adventurer guild but, the aftereffect was even worse, after that tragedy, the remaining survivors who thought they were safe, in actuality, weren't, slowly taken over by so unknown disease they didn't have single clue about.
And above all else, the tomb. The thing, the cause, and the root of all this. Many Adventurers had tried to go over the center of the crater and take away the guild's so-called treasure but no, they couldn't, nobody could, not even reaching the halfway.
They would either feel indisposed right away or start feeling the burn around their skin even with their strongest mana shield and if that was not enough, they would get sick right after they returned, their future unknown if they would ever heal or slowly die away like the first victims.
"Alia..I don't want to doubt your healing powers but, you know what will happen if we fail right?" she asked, as they rushed to the crater.
Alia only gave a nod, she would view around the destruction through curious eyes like all the first-tirs but, there was sothing more important for her, in her coming destination and Lily also felt her eagerness, but only thought she was being kind and caring.
After a while or so, they finally reached the edge of the crater. Alia's eyes were wide open, seeing the actual destruction, the center of where it all started.
Her eye's glowed like a white crystal gem as she looked all around the crater.
"Not a single bit of life...this is surprising" she said.
Lily also nodded in agreent, it had been so long after that incident, so long that at least a single plant should have grown but no, even now. There was only ash and ash alone.
"Are you ready?" Lily asked.
Alia's eyes glowed white again but with much more intensity than before.
"Mother Goddess~, I plead thy for this earth~, I plead for the wind~, I plead for our safety~. Oh mother goddess, Bless us and this poor earth, dying with no life..~"
As she was praying, her eyes turned brighter and brighter. The wind listening to her prayer and danced around, weaving away from the ashen rain around them. The dark clouds started heaving away from its solid position.
But the wind couldn't move the dark heavy clouds too much, only changing its form to a degree, but that was enough as, from that split, the ray of sunlight transpired down.
The ray of sunlight landing down at the whole crater and both of them.
"woooww.." Lily said in amazent. "I knew you were powerful but not this powerful. Weren't you supposed to be a healer.?" She questioned.
Alia's eyes ca back to normal white, but gradually changed to light green slowly turning darker in shade.
"Yes, I am a healer..." she said, both of her hands straight up forward, directing at the middle of the crater.
"Behold my power.."
