Chapter 797 The Mother Of All Dragons
—–”Your father is not the Progenitor of the Dark Dragons, each Progenitor is a female, while the males came afterwards when we laid their eggs.” Said Nifl. “The mother of all Dark Dragons had perished in battle, her name was Svartalf, and she was brave and strong… Fafnir and you have inherited her traits… Her soul dwells within her Draconic Records. Your father is amongst the last surviving Dark Dragons in the world, there are only four counting him.” Drake’s mother told Drake, as he learned even more about his family.
”I see…” He sighed. “I guess I could go meet grandmother… But for now, I really want to learn more about the Draconic Records, could you stop just foreshadowing stuff and just go directly to where it matters?”
”Hahaha! You’ve been born as bold your father, haven’t you? Fine!” She said. “Draconic Records is the interconnected network of souls that connects all dragons to the singular point, Tiamat’s soul! Our entire power is being connected to hers, and new dragons can draw power from the Draconic Records. This is also a reason behind the might of our race. If it wasn’t because you were Cursed by the world after birth, you’ve had been born incredibly strong, probably as a Dragon God right away.”
”This entire space is a pseudo realm by itself, made up by all our souls connected together, and your grandmother is the pillar to everything… the secret of the dragons, their strength, and everything else is here. This is where we draw our mythical power, the strength we use to protect our dear and beloved world, that your grandmother created for all of us to live in! We are meant to be the protectors of the world she created for us; this is the least we can do for her.”
”And therefore, Drake, the power you have and that every other dragon ever had within this bloodline is concentrated here. You’ll unlock more and more of our accumulated power over time, growing stronger than anybody.”
”But… there must be a limit, right?”
”The limit is with the bloodline. Those that are born from me are limited to our ice dragon bloodline, but as you got dark and ice dragon bloodlines, you can also access their strength. However… this power also depends in your total potential and the power of your divine core. Those with great talent can draw more power while those with least talent… can draw less. It is sad, but the world is unjust. Those that die prematurely still join us, and they cherish our company even when they considered themselves weaker, helping one another and the future generations by lending the little strength they could accumulate. Every dragon counts at the end, to make future generations even stronger…”
”A-Amazing…”
”This is the power of dragons, my son! This is the truth behind your strength, and also the reason behind your grandmother making it is quite simple… She foresaw a dark future. She knew many of us would perish but didn’t wanted to lose our souls into Helheim. She wanted to help us even after death, and also to bring all our strength to the future generations, the more of us existed, the stronger future generations would become, capable of fighting the threats that this world itself created… and also those that came from beyond the world.”
”So Tiamat predicted Oberon and the Venerables?” Asked Drake.
”Pretty much, she knew they would eventually show up… She prepared the Draconic Records to strengthen future generations that would have to fight them to protect our world. If it wasn’t because of the Records, your father and I wouldn’t had been able to resist the battle we had after I laid your egg.” Said Nifl while sighing. “Even then, their strength was… above the average already, and I ended very wounded. I thankfully managed to protect your foolish and reckless father, who wanted to sacrifice himself for me… He has a good heart, but he doesn’t realize that dying for me would be more painful than dying at his side.”
”I see…” Sighed Drake.
”And now that you know this truth… I want to ask you something. What do you believe the Dragon King title does?” She asked. Nifl seemed to be wanting to hear what Drake could have in mind.
”What… does it do?” He wondered. “I would bet it makes me stronger?”
”More than that, simplistically, yes, but if we get into more details… The Title of Dragon King is mystical, it is something all of us dragons had been looking forward. Since Tiamat passed away that she left the message that one of such dragons would one day be born amongst all of us. It has been a figure that was said that would lead the entire race of dragons to fight the evils of the world and beyond, so we could protect our world… And even more, destroy Fate, the scheme that the world itself created not only to go against Life itself, but also against her creators, Tiamat and Ymir.”
”T-That’s…” Said Drake. “Is that true?!”
”Yes… I am revealing you this truth because there’s no point in keeping you on the blue about such things… The Dragon King is prophesized to be able to wield all the power of the Draconic Records, a dragon that transcends all bloodlines and can absorb all the bloodlines of my siblings, to acquire all the elemental powers within the Draconic Records… It is even said that after the Dragon King masters all the elements within the dragon bloodlines, he would be able to unlock the Power of Creation, from Tiamat herself!” Said Nifl. “And you, my dearest son… You’re the one that will become the Dragon King!”
Shock! Awe! Disbelief! These three words were the only things that could describe how surprised Drake felt, after a mountain of surprises, this last one came falling down over his head like a boulder, hitting hard into his head!
Although he felt slightly frustrated he was being given such an important role, he understood everything way better now, and his mind was clearer… this was a duty he had to accept and… embrace.
