Dragon Order of Flame
Volume 1
Chapter 4 Part 2
"…..Uh ra ra??"
(Djinn: Hard to describe, but I would say it's similar to "What the?"
Luke opened his eyes as the sky changed to an astonishing color, and the rays of sunlight were too bright for his eyes to see. (In the dream of course). When the dream ended and Luke's conscience was brought back to reality, Luke felt a sudden stiffness overcome him, making it difficult to breathe.
"What is, this?"
As time passed, Luke could feel everything returning back to how it was. The overwhelmingly enormous and detailed sensitivity of a dragon was reverting back to a human's. At first, these 2 feelings were colliding with each other, making the body feel distressed. But, as time went on, the body became used to it.
That is to say, it is the difference between a normal human's worthless perception, compared to a well-polished, to the limit, extrasensory perception (aka ESP). However, the gap between the 2 are too big to compare. Generally, it was difficult to imagine that one's perception was so contemptible.
"Volkar, what kind of masterpiece is this?"
Luke asked, as frustration overcame his heart. After some time passed, Volkar finally responded back.
"What do you mean by mistake? The fact that I could see your memories through a dream?"
"UWAAAAAAK!! STOP! STOP IT! BASTARD! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"
Yelled Luke, as he was reminded of his embarrassing childhood past.
As Luke was trying to control his breathing, he mumbled.
"Euuukk, Why is it that we both got to see each other's past, yet mine ended up being something like that? This is unfair!"
"That is…….."
Luke described his dream to Volkar, and Volkar spoke.
"He's the dragon that made it possible for you to explore the world right?"
"What type of guy is he for you to be calling him strange?"
"How?"
"Someone with good sociable skills…….If all the dragons' personalities are exactly as you say, I can see why he'd be considered a freak."
"…..goodness, what an interesting dragon."
Luke could feel that the dragon named Dirkus, was someone with lots of interest.
What Luke discovered as he was fighting Volkar in the past, was that dragons did not make contact with humans unless it had to do with the evil sorcerers, or if the fearless humans instigated an attack on them.
This was also the case, even when Volkar was insane and stampeding around everywhere. Luke figured he could try and borrow the strength of another dragon, so he went to the residence of a known dragon to ask, but was responded back with a cold attitude. Luke wasn't even allowed to see the dragon's face. Because the dragon was giving off a "who cares what happens to you guys" attitude, the angry Luke tried to start a fight with the dragon in order to see what it looked like, however, he ended up having to run away and barely kept his life.
If Dirkus really is such a strange dragon, wouldn't it be possible to gain his helping hand?
Volkar snorted as Luke gave out his opinion.
"What?"
"…..why?"
"Mmm…."
It would definitely be difficult for Dirkus to like humans, if he's affectionate towards elves. Humans have done far too many cruel acts to them.
"Still, I think it's worth a try. What, either way, our relationship with elves need to be fixed at some point, so tell me where Dirkus resides at later."
Volkar spoke apathetically. It was easy to tell by his tone that, although he can help, he wasn't expecting much out of it.
Luke asked.
"Anyways, what's going on today? You said it was a mistake, but what exactly are you calling a mistake?"
Through their dream, they were able to see each other's memories.
It's the first time for something like this to happen, since returning back to the past 2 and a half months ago. Luke felt that it was best to learn the exact reason for this happening, and not let it pass over just like that.
Volkar responded back.
"Only through 'talk'? What does that mean?"
"Of course. But, you're saying that that was your intent?"
"Even slight changes in my feelings, I was confused as to whether it was yours or mine. Once I sat down and thought about it, I would later figure out that it was actually your emotions……Isn't there a mind control spell that dark magicians used to use that's similar to this?"
Understanding what Volkar was stating, Luke couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
To freely be able to understand another person's thoughts meant that one was becoming contaminated with the other's memories and feelings. Their experiences and emotions become your delusions, and your ego itself will start to fall apart.
Volkar replied.
"Shit. I have a ticking bomb inside my body. So dangerous."
Luke's mind was going insane with what Volkar was implying.
While Luke has only lived for 37 years, Volkar has lived for over 8 millennia. In other words, the amount of memories Luke had compared to Volkar was incomparable. If the final wall was to be breached, and was tofall apart….then……
'My ego could be the one to be destroyed.'
What would happen after the 8 millennia of memories were to destroy the 37 years' worth of memories?
Luke was finding it hard to breathe as he thought of this unthinkable possibility. Until now, Luke just thought of Volkar as an annoying existence within him, but for it to actually be such a deadly situation…
'If by chance, Volkar had evil intentions, I'm sure it would be very simple for him to take over my body……'
Thinking this way, Luke started seeing Volkar in a new light and gained new trust in him. Either way, Volkar wanted to stop himself from doing the evil sorcerer's bidding, saved Luke's life, and sent him back to the past. And, although they gripe at each other on a daily basis, Volkar has continued to treat Luke with care.
Volkar spoke.
"Mmmm…."
Having realized the severity of the situation, Luke couldn't stop himself from groaning.
However, he did not confirm that he would be learning magic at this moment. He figured he would go forward with it later in the future.
