"Well, whatever, I guess you can't really do much now." Sighed the Venerable. "I hate being a sitting duck here. I want to go outside and also see if I can do something to help you complete that damn Frost Tower, I think there's something that's going to be a true challenge for you in there. Don't be so relaxed when moving there."
"I know, I am not relaxed at all. Anyways, is that all you wanted to talk?" I asked, almost leaving.
"Wait! We still need to discuss about the damn tree, you're skipping the entire reason I brought you here!" She said angrily.
And at the end, we discussed for a bit. The Venerable told me about the true nature of the Yggdrasil Trees, which I already kind of knew, but I still listened to her out of respect and courtesy. However, she suddenly reached a rather juicy part I had no idea of.
"When I was alive I tried to stop Oberon's plans a lot of times. As a venerable, I had incredible power and could do a lot of things. But even then, I couldn't trespass certain areas. And due to how stealthy was Oberon with his clones hiding around the world, I was incapable of finding them completely. Nonetheless, I found other things through my travel, such as the knowledge. I learned many of his information and plans, I was able to investigate a lot about what this guy was about. One of his plans is to gather the Yggdrasil Trees, the Lesser ones spread by the original one's seeds over the eons…" Said the venerable while crossing her legs.
"Gather them? But aren't they all in Alfheim anyways?" I asked.
"Yeah! Don't you think that's slightly unusual, Drake?" Wondered the Venerable.
"No I just thought that the continent had better affinity?" I asked.
"Not really, that's just the bullshit Oberon had been spewing to convince the entire world that this is somehow the reason!" Said the Venerable. "However, the bastard has been manipulating and planting these trees only in that continent because it is where his major base of operations is. Yggdrasil Trees are supposed to grow through the entire world and nourish it with life and spiritual essence. However, he monopolized them and stole them, setting them all inside his continent. Keeping the other continents from receiving their blessings. This is a reason why some continents are so dry and rough, despite these trees being made so more nature flourish in them."
"Shit, that's bad, isn't it? That bastard really knows how to fuck everybody's day." I said.
"Yeah, I would be lying if I said that previous Venerables that oppose him hadn't been planning a move against him whenever they reincarnate. So we might not be all alone when fighting him, even when those other Venerables might turn against us afterwards. Though… the new alliance between him and the vampire venerable is concerning." Sighed the Venerable of Dreams, the same name as Belle. "Nonetheless, he's been a threat to the world for a while. Only those that are known for being monstrous bastards would dare go as far as to ally him. The Vampire Venerable is… I guess I should had expected it."
"But you didn't because its hard for such selfish beings to just ally with one another, right?" I asked.
"Yeah, right… But I suppose they do share a same goal to an extent… Both want to get out of here, don't they?" I wondered.
"Yes, Oberon wants to escape this world through… some method that might involve destroying it or absorbing it. The Venerable of Blood as well. Perhaps Oberon is just using him by giving him false promises of sharing the profits. But the Venerable of Blood might also be just lying to him and might be planning to eventually betray him." Said the Venerable of Dreams. "Unlike us, who are at least decent people these guys are just malicious to the core."
"I don't know you're decent people…" I sighed.
"What did you said?! You know that any other Venerable would had just killed you if they knew you just ruined their resurrection plans like you did, right?!" Belle roared back at me.
"Okay, okay. I get it…!" I said, putting the palms of my hands in front of me to try to calm her, but this seemed to only enrage her more. Damn, what happened with the coquettish girl? Now she's always angry at me. I miss her flirtatious nature now… I can't believe I would ever think that.
"Sigh… Getting angry at you is really boring and tiring. Just stop teasing me and I won't bark at you. Cooperate a little bit, Drake." She said.
"I understand, sorry about that remark…" I said.
Just how many times I've apologized to her already?
"Anyways, it is important that you curry favor the Frost Queen as much as you can, Drake! Be a decent dragon, tell him how you were born to be the guardian of this world, or that you're the Dragon King too! The Frost Queen is honest to god a good woman to the core, this also means she's extremely righteous, if you tell him your intentions are to keep the world safe and sound, she'll probably trust you and make you her ally." She said.
"I know, I'll do my best. I'll try not to cheat this time either, we'll do things honestly." I said.
"Good, it is good that you learned. Use that Divinity Absorption ability in the face of a divine enemy instead and steal part of their power or something… But don't dare use it in allies like you did on me, cheeky lizard!" The old woman ranted again.
"Okay, yeah, I get it. Don't scream at me for the tenth time today…" I sighed. "I'll try to keep you informed about everything happening. I've already left a hundred slimes spread out in the entire Heaven Port by now to spy over everything, if I notice anything suspicious, I'll tell you so we can figure things out."
"Sure, glad to know you trust me a bit more now…" She sighed. "Hey, how about you get me in a good mood and have a bit of fun in bed with me~?"
"No thanks." I said, quickly disappearing from her Dream Realm, while I heard her frustrated roar from the distance.
