Scarblade Goddess 13 Chapter 12

Afterwards, Ira submerged to one of her earliest flashbacks. She was flying above the blanket of thick clouds. The clouds were dark. They were even creating roaring thunders and streaks of lightning. It appeared she was in a different world or her own world perhaps. Her world was immensely filled with energies, basing it on the active weather phenomena of frequent lightnings. She guessed on what she shall do next,

"Hmmm...Maybe I'll take a look of who's the potential hero in my world this time around. Though, he'll be just a p.a.w.n to my MASTER'S ambitions.".

She brought out a pure transparent crystal ball instead of a smartphone, since smartphones weren't yet introduced to them during the earlier times somehow. She whiffed a gesture to the crystal sphere. Thereupon, she witnessed in her crystal ball, that little Na.s.sus was crying, as his home and family were all being roasted alive by the searing wall of fire. He was kneeling on the ground hopeless. Na.s.sus's cries weren't loud but, his sorrowful eyes were intense to ever see, as his crystal tears were staining the barren ground,

"Mom...sis...why...".

Ira felt a deep sense of pity for the poor Na.s.sus, so she descended to him like she was a true G.o.ddess from the divine heavens above. The clouds divided, as it made a grand entry for Ira. Her metallic wings were reflecting the radiant lights, such as she was a savior. There after, she embraced the saddened Na.s.sus and she said with her soothing voice aided by a smile of a sincere angel,

"I know it's hard for you, my precious child.".

She said more and more to ease his suffering,

"Though, don't worry li'l boy...I'm here for you.".

The young Na.s.sus had stopped pouring his tears, as he heard her calming voice and felt a warmth similar to a guardian angel. The divine relaxing winds were also felt by his skin, turning Na.s.sus to be entranced more and more by the G.o.ddess Ira. Sooner or later, his nerves calmed down, although he grew curious of the woman that came upon to comfort him,

"Who are you?".

Ira cracked out a smile that wasn't filled with evil intent. Then, she said,

"I'm your G.o.ddess...G.o.ddess Ira. The creator of the world you are living in right now. The world, Unlimatia.".

She looked at him straight and told him,

"And you shall be my hero, who will save this world, li'l Na.s.sus".

Soon, Ira had finished delving in her earliest sea of memories and went to asleep with the others. After long hours, they had rejuvenated their lost energy. They woke up and their bloodshot eyes were no more. They discussed on how they'll confront the dragon. As they were done having a short meeting, they had flown back to the sky sea. Their eyes noticed that the sun below was shrouded by a thick blanket of clouds, as well as above the atmosphere. The long serpentine dragon appeared once more and blocked their view. This time around, they didn't use force aided by their weapons. Instead, they cornered the dragon on all of its three sides. In turn the dragon looked dumbfounded somehow.

"Ready girls?",

Yumine expressed to her companions. Otorine and Ira nodded with focused determination in their eyes. Afterwards, the three of them sprung to catch the flower on top of its menacing head. For some unusual reason, their skulls felt a jolting pain such as their heads had a blowing impact from a solid wall. It seemed there was a magical barrier preventing their attempt upon getting the said flower. In turn, Ira expressed with irritation,

"WHAT THE F*CK?!".

Then, the three of them were blown back by the powerful force of the barrier. The next moment, the dragon vanished its whole presence once again. Their objective had failed once more. Thereon, they just sighed with a tiresome look and took a rest at the nearby island again. After a few hours have pa.s.sed, they departed and tried to search the dragon. They soared through the sky for hours yet, there was no sight of the dragon anywhere.

"And the dragon's hiding...great.",

Ira expressed. They took a sudden stop and levitated, as they tried to look around for the dragon. Sadly, to no avail, there was still no sign of the dragon, even though they had searched far and wide with their senses. They were hopeless afterwards. As Yumine and Ira looked at Otorine, they've noticed something surprising behind her back. In turn, the two G.o.ddesses were masked with shock. They tried to tell Otorine what was behind her back, yet their mouths were zipped, since one wrong move could spell danger for her. Otorine was dubious, as she saw her two friends strange reactions,

"What's wrong you two?".

She felt that her skin was feeling a forceful air that came from someone's big nostrils. She turned around and saw that the huge dragon was sniffing her like it was a huge dog.

"EEEK!",

she expressed like she was a startled teenage lady. Then, she immediately went behind to Yumine. Otorine didn't look-like she was a calm and composed lady of grace. Instead, she looked similar to a scared little girl afraid of something. Thereon, her other side of herself was truly revealed. The atmosphere was mute and the girls were nervous, as the dragon's head was in front of them very close. It seemed the dragon were ready to devour them anytime soon. Though, the dragon just told Otorine with his low and echoing hoa.r.s.e voice,

"You smell just like my master.".
