We spent a few hours in the castle preparing everything, with the guidance of the Great Dragons, we made a comfortable and big nest using a variety of sticks, grasses, and even flowers, and also fire spirit stones we mined underground, which kept the nest warm. The nest was placed in a big empty room in my castle, where there was a large window that gave the eggs all the sunlight they could get in the day and the moonlight in the night.
According to the Red Dragon Queen, the most motherly of the four, Great Dragon Eggs need to feed on Sunlight and Moonlight every day and night to grow healthy, no matter what kind of dragon they were. Apparently their incubation could take a lot, depending in the system that "created" these eggs, so we don't know if they'll hatch soon or very late, it'll all be left to luck, most likely.
Once done, we asked the Great Dragons whatever they knew about the Ancient High Elves, or other Divine Dragons and the Yggdragon, but their knowledge was very limited.
"Our memories are quite fuzzy, we can't remember most of what we lived or learned when we were alive, sadly." The Venomous Viper Drake Queen sighed.
"We only know that we used to be acquaintances, we protected that mountain and our children that lived there. But as you can see, all of those children you fought were merely their reanimated corpses, this is the reason that once Fafnir was slain and the Demon King's presence was fend off, they stopped appearing." Sighed the Cave Drake King.
"It is a miracle that all those eggs appeared; we thought our kin would go completely extinct by now. That damned Fafnir…" Groaned the Red Dragon Queen. "He was a dwarf that turned into a dragon and thought of himself as our king, the bastard killed us all when we refused to serve a false dragon like him, and then he enslaved our souls and bodies as undead."
"Our memories of those times are cloudy, I think we were in a berserk state, with barely any emotions at all, other than our most basic natures." The Blue Dragon King sighed. "Sorry, but we only know about the Yggdragon because it is what every dragon knows, our oldest ancestor and creator, some call her mother, and others call him father."
"I see…" I sighed. "I guess the Yggdragon could have had both genders… Or none? I remember that the voice it had was quite manly when it spoke to me."
"Perhaps the very being known as an Yggdragon and Yggdrasil are two separate personalities within a single being." Titania speculated. "Yggdrasil was certainly motherly and lovely, she didn't seem "rough" nor "manly", so it is quite confusing… But maybe she held such a personality deep down, as the mother and father of most life in our world."
"I-If you put it that way, I feel like I've gotten an even bigger responsibility now…" I sighed. "I doubt I am as strong as the original Yggdragon."
"I believe that once you meet other Divine Dragons, it could be possible for you to become stronger by creating Bonds with them." Said the Blue Dragon King. "But that'll have to wait until you actually meet one of our living members that hasn't turned into a mindless monster."
"Well, there aren't any more rumors of dragons running amok nearby, so we'll have to find out for ourselves." Mark said.
"Yep, now, can't we log off? I'm tired and I need to go prep dinner!" Said Rita.
"Hahaha, I guess we should take this one step at a time." I nodded. "Let's take a break for now, you don't need to log-in back later guys, let's see each other tomorrow."
"Alright!" Jenny said. "I'll go watch tiktok or something."
"I hope the lil' dragons grow big and healthy." Lily smiled.
"See ya Lady Planta!" Said Acorn.
"W-Wait! Can't I go back home for now?" Brisingra wondered.
"Oh right!" I nodded, as I brought her to the checkpoint and teleported her in front of the dwarf city. "There you go!"
"Thanks a lot! I hope you can bring me along to your future adventures." She sighed.
"Of course, we'll come pick you up once we're done preparing." I smiled. "See ya!"
"Thanks!" As Brisingra entered the city when the guards opened the gates, I quickly went back to the Forest of Beginnings and after saying a few goodbyes, we logged off.
"Phew, well, that was a lot of talking and little action." Mark laughed. "We learned a lot though…"
"Yeah, I was left more intrigued and with even more questions than anything else…" I sighed. "The Great Reset… And that vision I saw of the "End" when I watched through the memories of Erebus. I wonder if they're connected?"
"You're saying that… the world of Arcadia ended already, and what we're experiencing is a world recreated through a reset…?" Mark wondered. "That's… crazy."
"I know…" I sighed. "Ugh, if that's true, then the reset failed, as Brisingra's mother said. Maybe this could explain why there are so many people of different eras mixed together, and why there are many gaps of memories within their minds."
"But who did this? I doubt the elves alone could have such power, right? The Gods?" Asked Mark.
"I don't know…" I sighed. "I feel like it wasn't just the gods. The System is an element that did not exist before in Arcadia… Could the System be something… beyond the gods themselves too? A completely foreign element?"
"That's… a lot of food for thought, but how about we think about this while preparing dinner? I'll cook something tasty for today." Mark said with a gentle smile.
"Oh! Sounds good! Alright!" I nodded happily.
"Mom! We're hungry, where's dinner?" My daughter selfishly asked while knocking the door.
"A-Ah, we're going to prepare dinner with Mark, dear, be a bit more patient!" I sighed.
"Okay~" Elena walked away.
"She sure hasn't changed in a few aspects…" Mark laughed a bit.
"Yeah, I guess I've spoiled her a bit too much…" I sighed.
