Reborn as a DRAGON

Chapter 326: Everwyn

Chapter 326: Everwyn

Grandfather gave them a solemn nod, and the sea of Dragons instantly parted ways, allowing us to fit straight toward the floating island. No one approached us as we flew, instead, the Dragons quickly got back to their positions, with grave expressions on their faces.

The auras they radiated were frightening, to say the least, but I could sense that they were trying to restrain it. Still, it was impossible to hide the strength they possessed.

As we approached the teleportation gate, I could see more dragons surrounding it on the ground. The gate emitted a formidable aura, revealing immense power. The cosmic mana that surrounded this particular gate was different, and for some reason, sent shivers down my spine. Grandfather led us directly towards it, where an ancient eastern Dragon lay coiled around it, his eyes peacefully closed.

The dragons in the vicinity maintained a respectful distance, acknowledging the presence of the elder. The atmosphere was charged with a mix of reverence and anticipation as if the weight of centuries rested upon this ancient Dragon.

The ancient dragon's majestic form was adorned with shimmering, light silver scales, giving him an ethereal presence. A pair of wavy golden horns adorned his forehead, gracefully curving backward. Beneath his chin, a tuft of white hair resembling a goatee added an air of wisdom to his appearance. As we drew near, his deep blue eyes opened, their intense gaze evoking a sense of awe and reverence.

The moment our eyes met, a wave of dizziness washed over me, as if his gaze had a mesmerizing effect. Quickly realizing the potency of his stare, I hastily averted my gaze, not daring to meet his eyes for too long. The intensity of his gaze and the power it held left a lasting impression.

Grandfather gracefully descended, carefully allowing us to step down from atop his claw before bowing respectfully to the ancient silver dragon. Witnessing the sight of my formidable Grandfather, who commanded respect wherever he went, humbling himself before another being filled me with a mixture of shock and disbelief. Suppressing my inner astonishment, I swiftly followed suit, mirroring his deep bow. Sidus, Ynos, and Breta, understanding the significance of the moment, joined in with solemn expressions etched upon their faces.

The silver Dragon's penetrating gaze swept across our group, his eyes examining each of us with an intensity that sent shivers down my spine. As his gaze fell on me, an overwhelming sensation of dread and unease washed over me, causing my body to tremble involuntarily. It felt as though a dark force had latched onto my very being, unsettling my soul and stirring restlessness within my mana. Fortunately, the unsettling moment swiftly passed as the Dragon shifted his gaze away from me, releasing me from its grip and causing me to inwardly release a sigh of relief.

"Little Destroyer, where to this time?" The ancient dragon's deep voice resonated with undeniable power, each word bearing the weight of his immense presence.

"Esteemed Elder, I am sending these children to Everwyn to help its Gods with its restoration," Grandfather's voice carried a tone of utmost respect and humility, a departure from his usual demeanor.

"Everwyn, I see. So be it," replied the Elder, his voice steady and calm, before he closed his eyes once more.

As I observed, my gaze narrowed, sensing a mysterious power emanating from his body. The teleportation gate, previously dormant, began to shimmer and change colors under his influence. The cosmic mana in the vicinity also shifted, forming a new connection to a distant place.

"Thank you, esteemed Elder," Grandfather responded respectfully, his voice carrying gratitude, and we all quickly followed suit, bowing in reverence.

Following Grandfather's lead, we gradually approached the gate. The cosmic mana emanating from it had a distinct pressure, unlike any other gate I had encountered before. While I could sense the discomfort it caused in the others, for me, it stirred excitement within my scales. I had to exert control over my own cosmic mana, restraining its urge to surge out of my body and merge with the power at the gate.

Once we reached the gate, Grandfather skillfully utilized his mana to lift us and guide us towards it. We floated above the majestic silver scales of the Elder dragon, feeling a sense of reverence and awe. As we glided over his scales, the world around us stretched and blurred, losing its vibrant colors. The familiar sensation of teleportation enveloped me, and before long, we emerged at our next destination.

As my eyes adjusted to our new surroundings, I was taken aback by the sight that greeted me. We hadn't emerged from a gate; instead, we found ourselves in the vast expanse of space, encircled by three imposing moons, two distant suns, and a colossal planet positioned in the center. The sheer magnitude of the celestial spectacle left me in awe.

'Whoa!' I couldn't contain my excitement as I marveled at the breathtaking panorama. My siblings and Breta shared my amazement, their expressions mirroring a mixture of astonishment and wonder.

"Welcome to Everwyn," Grandfather's voice reverberated across our minds.

Saying that he then slowly flew toward the massive planet that stood in the center of it all. Our appearance did not go unnoticed, for the second we appeared various strong auras instantly locked into our positions. By the time we closed in on the planet, three streaks of light shot out from the there moons toward us, as they came closer, it became easier to discern their appearances.

The first one was an impressive deity embodying purity and grace. She stood at an imposing height, and seemed to possesses an ethereal, androgynous form that seems to merge with the very essence of the world. Her body was covered in shimmering, opalescent scales, reminiscent of a serpent of sorts, radiating a soft, iridescent glow in hues of azure, amethyst, and silver.

Her face bore delicate, sharp features, with high cheekbones and slanted, luminescent eyes that reflected the vast expanse of the cosmos. Her eyes, were the color of deep space.

Then there were her feathery wings stretching wide, resplendent with myriad colors, mirroring the cosmic tapestry. They seemed to ripple like liquid light, emitting a soothing celestial hum as she moved.

Drifting around her form was an aura of celestial energy, a swirling maelstrom of stardust and shimmering motes, trailing in her wake like a comet's tail.

'This is a Goddess?' I couldn't help but inwardly mumble as I turned to glance at the other newcomers in curiosity.
