Master Of None

Chapter 2653: 2653. Powerful Beings Out There

”Did we just have all the dragonkin we rescued magically transported away and to safety?” Remey looked around trying to figure out if they could even explain what had just happened. This was too crazy.

”That was an ancient dragon. That wasnʼt anything like the dragons in the world now. It was much older and much stronger. It wasnʼt anchored down, just bound by rules that the dragons are made to follow by one another.” Walker said this but he was sure that it still didnʼt explain much at all.

”An ancient dragon is still raising children and having to follow them around and make sure… thatʼs a crazy thing to do. She must have a lot of children to raise!” With Gil adding to their perspective it was easier than ever to realize how some of the young dragons might drift off on bad paths.

”If she is able to travel as she wishes she is not the same as the dominator dragons or the spirit dragons or even the true dragons. She was an ancient dragon and clearly reached an entirely different realm of strength and form than what the other dragons stay at. I would guess she is over ten thousand years old.” It wasnʼt just a statement that carried stunning weight, it was one that made them feel very very small.

A dragon let alone a being that had existed for that long should know many things. From the way that Walker saw it, this ancient dragon could have done much more but had been dirty bound not by someone making her keep the rules of the dragons. It was her who upheld them and to break them would be allowing the possibility that all light dragons would go against the rules.

While dragons that fell or became rogue had to be a minority in the greater scheme of the dragon race, it was still a possibility. When that happened there were rules. It was also easier to understand that those with power and standing that enforced those rules were bound by even the smallest ones to ensure the balance within their race and the overall elemental plane that they lived in.

The dragons were a race that lived for a long time and could change their form based on the way they trained and understood their affinity mana. Therefore, they could become a force that allowed for the territory they lived to remain peaceful. They could travel outside of their territory with stored mana and assist where other powerful beings needed them.

They could also break apart the balance and cause another war entirely. If that were to happen then the greater beings like the elemental kings, origin race, and whatever else there was might have to act. Something that would lead to a lot more strife and potentially death because of the enormous power that they possessed.

”That means the village they left from was a main village supported by that ancient dragon and elders who were very important. But didnʼt she just say an elder? Wouldnʼt that mean that if an ancient dragon is just an elder…” Alcie tried to fathom the strength of the dragon that had just appeared and swept away the newly healed light dragonkin. Aliceʼs healing had done a lot but she did worry that they had not been healed enough, she was just that good of a healer that she refused to let a patient leave without a fully healed injury or proper care to follow.

”She could have lied to us. She seemed kind and sad. I would assume she prefers to remain smaller. That way she can separate things from herself. Imagine if Walker and all of us were always on a pedestal and then in a hundred years we decided just to get up and act opposite to what we forged. Would we want to go out and walk amongst everyone when they would stare at us like some unimaginable being? Would people still talk to us? Itʼs better to say you are something else.”

Suʼs point made it hard for everyone to imagine what the future would be like. Walker was already on track to live through who knew how many generations. Gil would most likely live longer than every human he knew, if not he and alma might live significantly longer than even the high elves used to live because of many aspects, strength, connections, and blood. This wasnʼt considering how su, Remey, and Midnight might live significantly longer because of dragon blood.
