As soon as these Wind Dragons arrived the first thing I did was reveal my Dragon Aura and I wasn't the only one, Natasha and Silvia did the same, meanwhile, Karina came to stand by me as well as Barok who has been on deck with the glowing eyes looking at the Land of Dragons in the distance.
Silvia had already told me that Dragons like to reveal their Auras as a form of greeting, the clash between Auras reveals their Tribe, their Strength, their emotions, and their intentions.
I must say that I found it strange at first, but then I understood that Dragons who are a proud race and who don't like to lie, are sure to show who they are in their entirety when they meet.
Now that I think about it, I think Father of Nix tried to do something similar to me when we first met, but the difference in strength was so great that it was like something different for me or maybe he really was just bullying me for not liking me.
When our Auras were revealed without pushing against the Wind Dragon, he who was in his Human form as well as the other Dragon waiting nearby still in his true form did the same by revealing their Auras.
I felt the clash of Auras during their collisions, and soon I began to better understand the two Dragons and confirmed that the one in Human form was the leader among them.
When I focused my eyes on him I realized that he was exchanging glances with Natasha, she jumps to stand beside me while pointing at me with a smile on her face.
"It's not me, I'm just hitchhiking, talk to this little one." (Natasha)
"Please don't call me small around guests." (I)
"He is not a guest, he entered the ship without permission." (Natasha)
"If I ask to lower the ship's defenses and I haven't attacked him, then he's a guest." (I)
"That's a very good point, his arguments have improved, and discussions with Elizabeth are having some effect." (Natasha)
"What are you talking about?" (I)
"So you didn't notice, I think you saw having to listen to her talking in my ear after that, damn it." (Natasha)
"I think you are diverting from the most pressing topic." (Karina)
"..." (I)
I wouldn't let it go, I'll definitely remember if I come back to this topic after dealing with this Wind Dragon.
When I turned to him I realized he was looking at me and waiting, he didn't seem angry or worried, but I felt him trying to probe my Aura deeper, our forces were very close and that's why he couldn't.
I took a step forward and held out my hand, he didn't hesitate to reach out his hand to shake mine.
"I'm Zenos, I'm the leader of this ship, I'm going to the Castle of Dragons." (I) "I am Uriel, True Dragon King of Wind and one of the guardians of the border of mountains." (Uriel)
"Your Aura is strange, it seems a mixture of many things, but your identity as a Dragon is Unmistakable, but I don't recognize your Race, which Tribe are you from?" (Uriel)
"I am the first of my kind, I am a Blood Eclipse True Dragon King." (I)
"..." (Uriel)
When I introduced myself he did the same directly, his expression was calm, but I could see a glint of confusion in his eyes, when I revealed myself as a Dragon King his expression was the same calm as before, but the glint of confusion in his eyes disappeared being replaced by seriousness.
"I see, looks like you're the one we heard about." (Uriel)
"It would need more context to confirm." (I)
"The new Dragon King who will undergo the Castle Ceremony." (Uriel)
"I don't know if I'm the only Dragon King to emerge, but as far as I know the one you spoke of must be me, I came exactly because of a Ceremony of some kind, but I don't know the details." (I)
"It looks like the other Dragons with you, a Blood Dragon or something close to that, but the other one…" (Uriel)
He looks away from me and back at Natasha with the glint of confusion returning to her eyes, I can't tell if he recognizes Natasha as one of the Living Calamities or if my sister's Aura is that strange to him.
Then he looks away, still with that gleam of Confusion, at Silvia who was walking slowly, I imagine that the strong energy of her Nature is a little strange to him, not to mention the way her Aura interacts with the nature around us, as if receiving support from the world itself.
"These are my sister and my Daughter, by my side are..." (I)
"I'm Karina and the one behind Zenos is Barok." (Karina)
"A pleasure to meet you Wind Dragon King, I am the Knight who protects the Great Dragon Zenos." (Barok)
"An ascended Dragonewt, your loyalty is true, nice to meet you all, if you don't mind I will accompany you to the castle along with one of my sons." (Uriel)
"Actually it would be a help, I have no idea which direction I should go to get to the castle." (I)
"I'm going to go talk to the others, wait here a moment." (Uriel)
He disappeared, but I can tell that he just flew off at great speed towards the other large Dragon before the two of them returned to where the other smaller Wind Dragons were, a few seconds after he was returning with another smaller Wind Dragon towards us.
When they entered the ship in their Human forms, we started to follow the direction Uriel pointed, at that moment Vanessa and Nix appear from inside the ship, probably leaving the Dungeon open in the hold of the ship.
"Good to see you again…sorry I can't remember your name." (Vanessa)
"I still hadn't received a name, in our family only when we went through the Awakening Ceremony did we receive a name, you can call me Galius." (Galius)
Vanessa comes to greet Uriel's son, it seems they already know each other which I find strange since I don't know him or his father.
"Did you two already know each other?" (I)
"He was the Dragon that led me to the Morror Contractor." (Vanessa)
"I had one with the Vampire Empress, I just played my part." (Galius)
"Yes, she was a great help in getting my sword back." (Uriel)
"Come to think of it, I haven't met her yet." (I)
"She is Elizabeth's daughter, as far as I know, she is no longer in this world, I remember her coming to ask me for an artifact before going on a mission, but I don't remember what it was, I was busy with something else and I didn't pay much attention to what she said." (Natasha)
"So my mother is not in our world?" (Vanessa)
"What kind of mission needs the High Priestess of Blood personally to take care of?" (Vanessa)
"Uriel!?" (Nix)
"Little Moon, how good it is to see you, your Aura and strength are completely different from what I remember." (Uriel)
-------------
We spent days with Uriel and his son talking inside the ship or taking them to the Dungeon, we spent a lot of time talking, I wanted to know more about the situation with the Dragons and he was a great source of information.
In our conversations, I discovered that he was as young as Nix and that's why he was one of the Dragons who liked to visit her before the event where she was sealed.
He said he was there that day, but he was too weak to participate in that battle, he saw everything that happened and dedicated his life to training because of that day, I also found out that Nix's nickname is something his mother called her, Little Moon.
Uriel helped by increasing the speed of the Floating Ship, thanks to that we arrived in a little over 1 week of travel, it seems that the lands of the Dragons are bigger than I thought.
When I looked at the Castle of Dragons, even from afar I was amazed, it was as if they had carved out the entire structure of a gigantic mountain.
The Castle was big, imposing and at the same time carrying an ancient feeling like some kind of prehistoric ruin or something, I got really excited as we got closer.
On the way I met many Dragons, but for some reason, they were all Dragon Kings, it seemed that it was not an accident, they were trying to get to know me, and it seems that a lot of information about me became rumors among Dragons because of Arash spending time with me, it also didn't help my sister Caitlyn who was the only one able to hold Arash alone for so long traveling with me.
It was my first time meeting so many Dragons and I found that they are just as straightforward as Arash, it seems to be a trait they all share, but unfortunately, not all are as wise as I had hoped.
Some among them just wanted to fight, clearly, it was me who came to do this ceremony, but instead of fighting me it was Natasha who fought most of the time, that's why she started the fight, that combat maniac.
I was happy to arrive at the Castle and when I thought about what I should do because I was in doubt whether I would wait or go down to enter, a person with wings full of black crystal scales shining as if there were several stars inside.
When this person was at the front of the ship, he stood still as if he were standing in the air as if there was something solid invisible under his feet.
He stands still in a normal manner before giving a slight bow, pointing with one arm towards the castle as he speaks politely.
"I am Ortiz, assistant to the Dragon Emperor, I have been waiting for his arrival, please follow me." (Ortiz)
