Drea wasnt someone who would ever leave Shaik under any circumstances.
Especially not now, when something strange had happened to him.
It wasnt Shaiks arrogance, but rather his conviction.
Even if Shaik had fallen ill and couldnt believe in anything, there was one thing he believed in, and that was Dreas feelings towards him.
The small dragon that imprinted on him as soon as she was born stubbornly clung to him no matter how much he pushed her away, tormented her, or acted indifferent.
Unfailingly, like a fool, she stood up again and smiled.
Whether it was love, obsession, or greed, Shaik dared to be certain that Dreas feelings for him would never change.
Sometimes, it looked so beautiful that it made him feel awkward.
Shaik! I like you!
The overwhelming emotion that crashed against him was perplexing.
It seemed like he was getting used to it, even more.
Drea This foolish dragon.
Actually, Shaik was lying a little.
The first thing he expected to see when he opened his eyes was not his mother Kalia, but a noisy white dragon.
He was worried that she might be crying and upset because he was in pain, but the girl wasnt near Shaik.
It was strange.
The dream I was having wasnt a dream about Drea Why did I wake up thinking of Drea?
Why did he automatically assume that the child would be by his side?
Shaik wanted to look deeper into his heart, but he simply didnt have the energy.
He could only think about why Drea wasnt here, where the child should be.
Drea
Amidst the fading consciousness and blurred thoughts, Kalias voice sang a lullaby to Shaik.
went to save you
What? What are you saying, Mother?
He couldnt quite make out the words that sounded like they were being cut off.
Shaik furrowed his brow slightly and tried to open his eyes, but his consciousness had already stepped into the deep currents of the dream.
His consciousness didnt comply with his will.
He couldnt confirm whether what he heard was true
And at that moment.
Shaik!
A clear voice, refreshing like raindrops on flower petals, resounded through the air.
It was a voice that instantly pulled Shaiks consciousness, which seemed impossible to escape.
As he blinked his closed eyes, a bright white gate appeared above the empty space.
Countless white flower petals also poured down from above his head.
Snow?
Shaik thought absentmindedly.
Does the scent of warm sunlight on the brightest day feel like this?
A warm and gentle fragrance enveloped him.
The soft flower petals brushed against his cheeks and forehead as they descended.
Shaik was completely buried in the shower of flowers.
A startled Kalia reached out and embraced the descending Drea in the air.
Drea!
Im back, Kalia Mama!
With disheveled hair, a broken knee, and a long cut on her cheek, Drea appeared and hugged Kalia with a bright smile.
What on earth!
Kalia looked bewildered as she stared at the two people coming in one after another through the gate.
Grandmother and Nua too?
Hohoho! I was so worried about this little one, so I went to pick her up! Finding the gate was difficult, but Gaia cleverly sent a bluebird to the spirit realm. I followed that child.
Leahs words made Gaia proudly spread her two fingers to make a V gesture.
Nua gently stroked Gaias head.
I went and saw. This little one fought very bravely. She courageously brought back a white flower!
What? What is all this
At the mention of a fight, Kalia tightly held Drea in her arms again.
Up close, she noticed small bruises on her face here and there.
Seeing the disheveled appearance of the child, Kalias eyes turned fierce.
Drea, did you fight? With whom? Who would fight with such a young child!
Kalias angry voice became sharp.
Drea smiled awkwardly and tightly hugged Kalia.
Drea was brave. She fought valiantly while thinking of Shaik. Like Kalia Mama, Drea and Gaia became a wonderful team and fought together!
Thats right. Drea was amazing.
In response to the excited words of Drea, Gaia clapped her hands and chuckled.
Drea and Gaia, both covered in wounds, were laughing. Nua and Leah, who were watching them with proud eyes, and Kalia, looked at them with a perplexed gaze.
Whats going on? Can someone please explain in more detail?
