We Live in Dragon’s Peak

"Oh, it's your mother. Big Grandma's here too! Lily, over here!

Priscia looks like she really enjoys it.

He rides himself out of the tip of the dragon god's nose and looks under his eyes, waving hard. To Priscia, who was about to fall off guard, Mr. Ashel looked after her with a bitter smile as troubled.

Priscia, Lily and Levaria, who have noticed our presence, and Fiorina and Reem are rising.

But strangely, I can't get closer to this place than a certain distance. No matter how many wings I feathered, the contours didn't get bigger, and I couldn't get close.

That and the other strange thing is that the dragon tribes were the only ones noticing the dragon gods in the sky, except for the Thousand Handed Spider Teru. Besides, people don't turn their attention to them when they say that not only can dragon tribes fly through the sky, such as flying dragons and wing dragons, but even dragons on the ground are up in the sky running and swimming.

I don't even realize I'm not turning my attention.

Even the Dragon people close to the Dragon people spent as if the Dragon people's trends were not in sight.

What a strange sight, flows slowly.

The Dragon God flies over Dragon Peak and its western flatlands as he gracefully wings.

The Dragons followed each other with pleasure and enjoyed a walk in the sky with Priscia and Niemia and Ares.

"... so what's our next trial?

Don't forget.

Priscia and the others are coming to see us, but we've come up to the sky to take the dragon gods' questionable trials.

'I want to show you something. Now, enjoy the terrestrial landscape.'

"Is it our test to see the earth?

We all look at each other and tilt our necks. But the dragon gods and Micheiras gave no further explanation, so we had no choice but to look down upon the earth, which stretched as far down as the Priscians did.

"Wow, where am I!?

Soon, the terrestrial landscape shifted to something we didn't know.

Large forest that lasts everywhere.

Deep and abundant forests were spreading across the plains.

There are birds flying around that I've never even seen, and animals I don't know live there.

For some reason, even though it's on the ground at a very remote distance, I can see fine scenes when I'm conscious.

Where the hell is this great forest?

I wander my gaze and notice strange discomfort.

The first great forest I see. But the steep mountain ranges stretching west...

We have enjoyed many empty walks before. [M] Get on Niemia's back or get on Revalia's back. Sometimes I had Mr. Ashel and Lily on my back.

And the terrestrial and dragon peak landscapes that looked down from the sky over and over again, I remember very well.

And a view of the mountain ranges stretching west.

It resembled the shape of a mountain of dragonflies that we know well, stretching west of Wang Du.

Everyone looks down at the ground wondering if they've noticed the same thing as me.

The dragon god moves through the sky, asking our questions.

Then a huge lake was seen to the south. Everywhere, that's the lake that makes it look like the ocean you saw when you traveled with Luilara, a stretch that's going to last.

Again, that great forest...

No, not even the dragon forest is that big. And in the northern part of the dragon forest, there's no such thing as a great forest because there's a flatland cut out by kings and people, and if you go further north, you're supposed to go to the hunting ground of a flying dragon.

The Dragon God turned the lake wide and now turned his way to Dragon Peak.

Even in summer, harsh nature leaves snow at the top of the ruggedly high mountains. Rapid slopes, rough rock skin, deep tree seas that do not easily keep people close.

But when I look down from the tip of the dragon god's nose that goes all the way up the cloud, I feel a small view.

I wonder why we're being shown the landscape. While I doubt that, I look down on the ground still.

You should know, but somehow the first time you see a view of Dragon Peak flows.

A flying dragon flies off a cliff. Apparently, he's setting a goal for the great bird warcraft flying over the tree sea.

"Is that it?"

So I notice a new discomfort.

It should still have been midnight when we left the venue set up in the hunting grounds of the Fei Long. When I realized, the night was dawn.

When, it's morning?

And one more thing.

Dragon tribes who follow the Dragon God and enjoy a walk in the sky. Perhaps all the dragon tribes who were in the venue are coming. The popularity of the Dragon God was as great as that.

Yet...

Flying dragons targeting warcraft, not only that, but the ground dragons and other dragon tribes that go through the tree sea, don't even try to see this one. It's as if you haven't noticed dragon gods or dragon tribes going sky, like the people who were in the venue.

"I don't know, I feel weird."

"Right. It feels like we're in a different world on earth and here."

"... Could it be that this place is still a dream?

I confirmed the witch of my dreams, but all I had to do was look at this one and smile.

"Is the mystery solving of a strange landscape a test?

"Is it a test to find out the truth?

"What do you think? I think we should see how it goes."

"Yeah, you are."

"You know, Priscia's fun, right?

"Nyah!

"It's sweet."

Unlike us, who are a little confused, the young girls are busy.

I don't know where you took it out of, but the killer must be Ares, but he enjoys singing his nose song with his sweets and drinks in one hand.

Confectionery shards and drinks Shizuku over Dragon God's nose...... Let's just say we didn't see it!

"At the thought point, don't be noticed"

"Ha!"

Let Sleighsta's old pointer draw his face, and clean him up in a hurry.

But the festivities of the toddlers will not stop. Priscia is better than usual, apparently because of the overlapping factor of sleeping. Neemia and Ares are making a scene so that we can't just focus on the landscape under our eyes and we're starting to feel a little rushed.

Will this overcome the mysterious trials of the Dragon God?

Mr. Ashel isn't willing to detain the Priscians any more than he needs to, or he's taking care of them to the extent that they won't fall.

While distracted by the young girls, we looked under our eyes wondering why they were showing us the view.

The landscape had changed from dragon peak to flat ground again.

And see even more strange sights.

Until earlier, the Great Forest should have spread.

When the Dragon God came east of Dragon Peak again, part of the Great Forest was turning into a plain.

And that's not all.

Shadows moving on cut and plowed plains.

Conscious, it can still be clearly confirmed.

A body as big as the trees around it. If you wave a huge axe, a single blow breaks the thick tree. And those who swallow branches, and use only trunks.

I've never seen it before.

Giants.

A giant race with backs several times the length of a human race was running their lives on the flat ground.

How could there be giants just east of Dragon Peak?

According to the story of Philelle, Prince Yortenitos IV, there is a land far east of the kingdom of Yortenitos where giants live, though. But at least there shouldn't be a single giant tribe in the flatlands where you can see Dragon Peak.

And the Giants were also active without noticing us in the sky.

From then on, it was a truly beyond understanding experience.

The Dragon God continued to swirl slowly through Dragon Peak and the eastern flatlands.

I'm sure you're following the same airway. The shape of the mountains that lead to Dragon Peak did confirm the same over and over again.

But...

Every time I see it, the changing scenery.

At one point, large cities were built on the flatlands and people were singing civilizations. The next time I think about it, it looks like the big city is devastated and terrible to us. I saw the rotten earth. The Great Forest made most of it disappear, creating small settlements in a barren land that spreads pointlessly, and saw people living secluded.

In Dragon Peak, it broke my heart to see the harsh scenery of the dragon clans competing with each other. I wondered, the next time I came to Dragon Peak, I saw how people and dragons lived together in good company. I saw the red-stained Dragon Peak.

What the hell are we being shown?

Dragon god around the sky.

Ground conditions that change the landscape from time to time.

Somehow, but I was beginning to notice.

I guess this is still part of the dream that the witch of dreams shows. However, it's only a mystery as to why it involves not only us, but the Dragon Clan.

I think we are dreamed of by the witch of dreams, showing the history of Dragon Peak and the flatlands stretching to its east.

My imaginary answer became definitive in the words of Mistral.

When I saw the red-stained Dragon Peak and its sky, the pompous and mistral leaked the word.

"This is... It was Dragon Peak when Alta first rebelled."

"Know the landscape?

"Yeah, I still remember you very well. In that tragic struggle, Dragon Peak is bloodstained"

"It was a struggle when Mr. Mistral won the title of Princess Dragon."

"That's right. People and dragons have made a lot of sacrifices..."

The next time the Dragon God turns his way to the flatlands.

The capital of those who saw it existed at the foot of Dragon Peak.

"Elnea, this is the king's capital you destroyed."

"Elnea, this is the king's capital you wiped out."

"No, no, because the King's Capital is not my fault!?

I know the streets. A royal castle I've seen and a great temple. But they don't exist anymore.

It was lost in the battle when the Demons invaded, wasn't it?

"I think this is the landscape of the past."

"Yeah, definitely."

We snort with certainty.

"But why are we being shown the landscape of the past?"

"Yes, that's what I doubt..."

I know what the landscape means. But I don't know what the Dragon God intends. What kind of trials are we being subjected to? [M]

"Mmm, I've seen a lot of landscapes!

"Well, that's strange."

Priscia was satisfied with the terrestrial landscape, and she hugged me well. Ares flew in, too, so I hug them both.

Priscia looks happy and starts talking about all the landscapes she has seen.

You think the giants were big or you want to go visit a prosperous civilized city?

As far as I'm concerned, I'd like to concentrate on the trials, but I can't keep Priscia unharmed happy with her innocence. I had no choice but to stroke her head, hammer her, and I'll deal with Priscia.

But that's the word that Priscia let go of her innocence that stuck in our chest.

"You know what? Priscia wants to be playing with us all the time. Going to all kinds of places and eating all kinds of delicious food. We all want to have fun together forever, don't we?

"Right..."

I wonder why.

Usually, it's supposed to be a casual word from Priscia who could have laughed and replied.

I can't swim my eyes and see Priscia properly.

Luiseine and Lyla put their hands on their mouths and hide their sad expressions.

Yufiria and Nina were out of sight with each face and tears in their eyes.

"Priscia......"

Mistral strokes Priscia's head with a complicated look, but no more words.

Mistral is still good. I can stay with Priscia for nearly three hundred more years. I'm sure Niemia will be with you the whole time.

But we...

The average life expectancy of a person is said to be about fifty years old. I may be able to get older with sixty or seventy if I'm healthy, but I definitely can't do a hundred years.

But it won't be long before fifty years for Priscia, the eldest of ears, to live a thousand years. If we do poorly, we may be gone from this world before we reach the age of appearance.

The Ear Elders are also dragged by their mental age to their apparent age. Priscia's real age is ten, but she still looks good enough to say she's a toddler. Mental age is also proportional to that.

Priscia's words, which I still don't understand about life expectancy, fell into our hearts.

Mistral is still good because he has survived the test of difference in life expectancy at the time he made the decision to marry me.

Nevertheless, it would still be a lie to say that Mistral has no trace.

After all, is it my solitary idea that I want to live my life with my loved ones and die old with them?

But Priscia, who has no readiness or knowledge of anything, innocently says she wants to be with us for as long as she deserves.

decades, hundreds of years and. That's what Priscia says.

Still, I must have told Priscia that we would know. Even if my heart was tightened, I might never have felt as sad as it was painful.

The unusual cause is the landscape shown by the Dragon God and the Witch of Dreams.

earth changes. The marketing of people and dragons. Because they saw the flourishing and decaying of all races in a short time, and they showed us that the world was turning even if we didn't exist.

And more importantly, she made me realize that after we were gone, Priscia would continue to live in the world and spend a lot of time with many people.

Yeah, it's not just Priscia.

The Mistrals of the Dragon Nation will live even after we leave this world.

I just thought this was a challenge I had already overcome.

Mistral has a new life ahead of him after he breaks up with us.

We must die celebrating Mistral's new doorstep. That's what I thought, and I was prepared to be.

Sad, but that's the reason for the world, and we became a family convinced.

Unwavering readiness. Accepted future. We and Mistral have overcome such problems a long time ago.

But...

She's cheerful in my arms, Priscia. Will she be able to accept the future?

When Priscia is as old as we look. Mistral and Niemia, plus no family other than Ares, will be able to stay by Priscia's side.

If you were an adult, you would still accept reality by understanding differences in race, differences in life expectancy.

But I don't know.

Try replacing it with yourself.

If my parents die now. Luiseine, Lyla, Ufiria and Nina, too, if they lose their precious family at this age...

Will you endure grief?

Can we honestly accept that this is real?

If I were you, I'm sure Listeer and Slutton would support me. Likewise, Priscia will have the Mistrals to stay and support her.

Sad at first, but I think I'll make it through any of it.

And you'll walk out of the world without us again.

"I don't like it..."

Poop, and the real story leaked.

I am greedy.

It has led to unpleasant thoughts.

The world doesn't have to exist like me, and history overlaps.

Mistral will have a second life in a few decades, and by the time it's centuries later, Priscia may be driving us into a corner of her memory.

When I thought about it, I also had feelings that boiled down.

Were you ready for Mistral?

Because this is what the world makes sense?

I know that Priscia will grieve, and I leave it to others to heal it?

'Cause I have no choice. People only live a little over fifty years. Because Mistral, Priscia, and Niemia and Ares have different lifespans.

"Is that really good?"

That's what Dragon God asked me when I read my mind.

"The Elneas are fools."

"We're idiots?

Micheira was sighing.

"Because it is. Always beautiful. Yeah, so I have no choice, here's the thing, so I give up. Good boy, try to come up with an answer just for your world. I've only lived there for sixteen years or so, and I know everything and I understand everything, and I think I can accept everything. You're an idiot. From what we've lived through for thousands of years, Elnea and the dragon and the little girl in her arms are just like the baby."

"From Micheira and the others, we may be tiny and baby-like..."

"It's not that I might, it is. A baby is selfish. Then say it! It's not every beauty, it can be muddy and full of desire, so tell the truth."

"Micheira's words are dirty...... You don't have to convince yourself that you've figured everything out."

"Because it's the mother's job to hear the little child's selfishness. That is why we are here."

Admit you've been involved with the world enough. So, wish. Say yourself once in a while. '

Following Micheira, the witch of dreams opens her mouth. And Lady Farna adds with a merciful smile. Finally, the Dragon God asked.

My selfishness.

Our selfishness...

The desire I was desperately suppressing swelled to such a kind word as a mother, embracing anything.

My dear Mistral. I laugh heartily and pleasantly, Priscia. Neemia, who always reads my mind and causes commotion. Ares like you can say you're one mind at a time.

I want to be with everyone forever.

I want to stay with my family for the rest of my life. I don't like being separated. I'm not convinced that there's going to be an eternal goodbye due to the issue of life expectancy!

Gyu, and hold Priscia and Ares strongly in her arms.

Priscia said, "What's going on?" He looked up at me tilting his neck.

"Always, I want to live happily with my family..."

I don't care if it's qualitative. I don't need status, honor, or money.

Just one thing.

If you wish as you desire.

I want to spend a long and painful time with my loved ones, with those who can unite their hearts.

It's too short in only fifty years.

I want to grow old with the Mistrals.

I want to see Priscia and Niemia grow!

To my desire, Micheira and I were laughing that she had not distracted herself, but rather that she had finally breathed out her desire.

'Well, let's give. An immortal life.'

"Yeah eh!!

No, I hope so. What is it?

It's so easy to get immortal!?

Not only me, but everyone was stunned and round their eyes.

"Farna said it. It is the mother's role to hear her child's selfishness. It's our job."

"Are you all our mother?

"Not exactly, no."

Hehe, the witch of dreams laughing.

I wonder what that means. A being who listens to our selfishness and wishes like a mother. But I'm not a mother.

Of course, it doesn't mean real mother.

The maternal presence where we mean is the goddess of creation.

Could it be that Micheira and the others are using the goddess? But the dragon gods are the ones who said they'd make their wishes come true, and only people believe in the goddess in the first place, right?

Confusing head.

"I don't have time to be confused. Decide if you want to accept the dragon god story."

"... Could that have been the content of the trial?

The Dragon God has seen our hearts from the beginning.

Old Sleighsta has always told me. We're not at the center of the world. We've come into contact with words and immeasurable beings, and we've come to understand that Old Sleighsta must be.

I was going to understand.

But the Dragon God showed us the history of the world and made us know that we are truly tiny, only one thing in the age of spinning.

And by letting the innocent Priscia touch her heart, she exfoliated the heart to sleep in the depths of our hearts.

The Dragon God knew from the beginning, didn't he? He said if we brought Priscia in, it would lead to these results.

I finally understand the contents of the trials imposed by the Dragon God.

Whether we accept immortality or not. I'm trying that.

"Why are you making us immortal?"

I said, "I got involved with the world."

"I don't know"

"We find our own answers. However, it is not advisable to give an answer cheaply."

"Yes, I understand that."

A dragon god who will fulfill our aspirations.

But is it really a good story to accept?

It is also found in many stories and fairy tales.

It's about kings and adventurers seeking immortality.

However, the end of the story of the search for immortality always ends in tragedy.

The answer is simple, isn't it? That's because immortality doesn't exist.

But now there was a lie or a truth or an immortality before us.

Should we therefore honestly accept it?

If you become immortal, you can indeed exchange eternal love with Mistrals and everyone. You can also see the growth of Priscia and Niemia.

But...

If you expand your sight a little from what you're familiar with, the problem piles up.

What will the others think when they see us that we will not live forever?

The dragon people glorify me as King of the Eight Dragons. But sometimes I think. Not everyone in the Dragon Nation has come to admire it honestly. Some people have a life expectancy of about fifty years anyway, because they disappear quickly, so let's do it. For those people, how do I look when I'm immortal?

That's not all.

I wonder what your best friends, Listeer and Slutton, think?

I'm a dear friend who can talk to each other shoulder right now, but what happens if we find out we don't have a lifespan?

Listeer is also praised as a brave man seen rarely in history. Yet when I found out that I had a life expectancy and we didn't. Will you stay in the street until now?

I wonder what your mother and father think.

That's not all. People who know me, people who know me.

How does everyone feel about us when we grow old?

See the look on everyone's face.

Everyone looked complicated.

"If you become immortal, you can no longer return to normal life. Jealousy, resentment, jealousy, will be seen from around, with many negative emotions. You are now in a position to be nursed by other long-lived people, but if you become immortal, the opposite is true. Parent brothers, best friends, acquaintances, and many are in a position to look at, nurse, and be left to age. Do you still want to be immortal?"

The witch of dreams asks.

Getting immortal can have a huge impact on us as well as around us.

And there's one more thing that bothers me.

"What good are you in giving us immortal lives? I say I'm here to hear about our selfishness, but I'm afraid there's something behind this story that only we can gain unilaterally."

I hear a lot about it, and if I make a deal with the Demons, they take my soul as a price, what is it?

So, in return for giving us immortality, what do the Micheiras get?

I can't imagine what it would cost to be immortal.

Then Micheira smiled mean to my question.

"That's what the Elneans find."

"What do you say!?

"When the Erneas become immortal, how do they relate to the world? Show us that."

"What if I can't show you?

"That's fine. I got involved with the world, that's all I'm qualified for first."

"... um, that's kind of a hard story"

"It's not hard. The Elnairs look for it themselves in return. I don't care if I can't find it. We are selfish and we are not in a position to demand anything."

Is it just a question of whether you don't care about your money and accept immortality first?

Tasty stories have their backs, though.

Is this deal a delicious story in the first place?

After all, the part to gain and the price to bear are both too great.

I want to be with everyone all the time.

However, there may be a crack in the relationship with the surrounding area.

When I realized, Priscia was staring at me in her arms.

What are you worried about? and my eyes speak innocently.

Everyone was staring at me, too.

It's a difficult problem. You must want to know what I think. [M]

Yeah. And I come up with the answer, and I make the decision. And I spun the word to convince everyone.

"You know... I'm going to embrace the life of immortality."

"But then you won't be able to go back to normal life, will you?

"I've come to that idea, Elnea, what do you think?"

"I want to be with everyone and live forever and ever! Whether I'm a grandpa, everyone's a grandma, Niemia's a male hater like Mr. Ashel, or Priscia's a rebellion, I want to spend decades and hundreds of years with you!

"But there will come a man jealous of immortality."

"But those who hate immortality will show up."

"Someone close to you could betray you."

"Yeah, but I don't know what that is."

Everyone puts their eyes to my ramblings.

I added a supplement, laughing bitterly at everyone's reaction.

"Yeah, no. Everybody's wrong."

"What could be a mistake?

"There's a negative part behind the advantages of getting immortal, really, like Yuffi, Nina and Lyla said, right? But it's a possibility, not always. Instead, I want a future where I can be with everyone forever."

"I call it a possibility, but it's clearly a disadvantage that exists, isn't it?

"Yeah, it's really gonna be a sad future when it's real. But that's where it's different in the first place, Louiseine. Don't give up because it can be bad. The possibilities are crushed. The only thing we have to do is close a great future with our eyes full of bad things. If there could be something wrong, it would take an effort to crush each and every one of them."

If you find out we've become immortal, someone may appear jealous or resentful. Even Listeer and the rest of us could get along jealously.

But that's one of the possibilities and not a definite future, right?

Then let's make an effort to avoid the worst future.

"Grandma Yuri and Lady Jabalayan are embraced by everyone for life beyond the life expectancy of the species, aren't they? We should try to make it acceptable, and we should turn our backs from the beginning."

I wonder, isn't everyone still convinced?

Is the explanation lacking or not oriented in the wrong direction? I saw how everyone was doing while I was getting anxious.

The women listen to me and stare at each other.

"... if this were to happen, there would be no point in trying the Dragon Nation."

"Mr. Mist, you're not. It was through that trial that I was able to marry you, Ernea."

"If you weren't married, this wouldn't have happened."

"We're lots of students."

"We are with you, Ernea."

"Guys, then..."

Looks like we've come to a conclusion.

"Hmm. Now, for once, you will swear eternal love."

Old Sleighsta looked down satisfactorily.

We all put our hands together, smiled and vowed to love each other.
