Chapter 398: Let’s leave
“A dragon?” Maria finally echoed, her voice filled with disbelief. “That’s all you have to say? A dragon?! Lyerin, do you realize what you’re saying? That thing was enormous! It could’ve crushed this entire island with a flick of its tail!”
“It’s not just a dragon,” Sophia pressed, her voice trembling. “It’s the dragon—the kind of creature you only hear about in legends. Lyerin, are you seriously telling us that was real?”
Lyerin tilted his head slightly, his casual demeanor unshaken. “Yes,” he replied simply.
The girls erupted into a cacophony of voices once more.
“That’s insane!” Corora exclaimed. “Do you even understand what you’re saying? That thing was terrifying! And you’re just… brushing it off like it’s no big deal?”
“But it wasn’t just terrifying,” Fiona added, her voice quieter but filled with wonder. “It was… beautiful. I couldn’t take my eyes off it. Lyerin, how can something so dangerous also be so… mesmerizing?”
“It’s the wings,” Emily murmured, her eyes distant as if recalling the vision. “The way they shimmered, the patterns—they were almost hypnotic. I’ve never seen anything like it.”
Lydia nodded. “And the roar—it wasn’t just loud. It meant something. It felt… alive. It was like it was speaking to us, telling us something we couldn’t understand.”
Natalie crossed her arms, her brow furrowed in thought. “But why did it disappear? If it’s so powerful, why didn’t it stay? And why does it exist here, in this world? Lyerin, you know something, don’t you?”
Lyerin smiled faintly, his calm demeanor unshaken by their bombardment of questions. “You could say it’s a part of this world,” he said cryptically.
“That’s not an answer!” Cornelia burst out. “You’re hiding something! You always do this—you give us just enough to keep us guessing, but never the full picture!”
