For now, Leah and I can search, but we dont know how long it will take.
Using Tokans guidance might speed things up, but we still cant be sure.
Leah and Kalexia exchanged restless glances.
Simon clenched his fist in frustration.
If we do find the Sanctuary, I will go in as well. I will help with whatever little power I have.
I am Shaiks mother. Cant a mother sacrifice her life for her son?
Kalia!
Gaia exclaimed in astonishment at Kalias determined words.
Everyone present fell into a moment of silence, lost in their thoughts.
Then, a small voice caught their attention.
Um
Drea, who was standing closely beside Shaik, quietly called out to them.
I I know the place.
And suddenly, she blurted out something shocking.
* * *
The swirling clouds gathered in an unsettling manner.
Drea, gazing up at the gray sky for a moment, took a deep breath and recalled the voices of Kalia and Simon from a few hours ago.
Drea, if something happens, call Gaia. Got it? Just come here if anything happens. Well go. So, never go to dangerous places.
A year ago, Drea had a chance encounter with another dragon.
That dragon disguised itself as a human and pretended to be a princess from another country.
When asked why, the dragon said it was because of a request from a loved one.
Because a dragons life is long, she decided to grant the favor of the man she had briefly loved.
In return for keeping her secret, the dragon revealed to Drea the location of the Dragons Sanctuary.
It was a place only accessible to dragons, and no matter how much humans talked about it, they would never find it.
If something happens, you can escape there too. Got it, kid? Oh, but its interesting. Ive never seen a White one before. Oh, inside the sanctuary, theres a White being that usually doesnt show itself Anyway, there are interesting characters in the sanctuary. Just be careful of the fights that happen at the entrance. Dont get involved, okay? Remember my words. Fights at the entrance, fights!
Drea remembered the vibrant red hair of the dragon who cheered her on.
It was flowing and beautiful
Oh, now is not the time to daydream, Drea. Pull yourself together!
Hoo-!
Drea clenched her fists tightly and stood in front of the third gate.
The Dragons Sanctuary was truly well-hidden.
She had to find three hidden gates and each gate had a test to prove her dragon identity.
Of course, Drea passed them all with ease.
Although Drea was young, she was the strongest among the dragons, a White Dragon. Moreover, she had magical artifacts that Simon, Kalia, Kalexia, and Leah had prepared for her.
Rumbling Kwang!
Finally, in front of the last gate, Drea slowly revealed her power.
Rain poured down.
Drea stood in front of the cave, feeling a strange wave, completely soaked. The cave was flooded.
[Say your true name.]
It was a sound injected directly into her mind, not an actual voice.
It was not the language of humans but the dragons ancient language.
Drea recalled the name engraved in her soul.
A word that no one had taught her spontaneously burst from her lips.
[Reikaria Bon de Agartar Buten.]
In that moment, Dreas body was engulfed by a dazzling light and sucked into the light.
