Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 796 I Actually Have A Mother?!

Chapter 796 I Actually Have A Mother?!

-----

Drake had secretly wished when he was born (hatched from his egg) to have a big ice dragon mother to pamper him, he had suffered through a lot alone, but he finally got to the point he got her! A big dragon mommy! Although he felt confused and embarra.s.sed, and was rather angry, he couldn't help but melt deep inside as he was being hugged by such a gigantic dragoness.

"Ugh… I-I appreciate that you're so caring, mother… But could you… you know, explain me things now?" He asked.

"Oh my, I suppose I have forgotten that. You don't have much time left inside of Fafnir's Divine Realm after all, right?" She wondered.

"Precisely…" He sighed.

"Well, now that you've awakened the Draconic Records, there's nothing to hide. This is a power that originates from the Progenitor of all the Dragons of this world, my mother, the Dragon Mother and also said to be the mother of Creation… Tiamat." Said Nifl. Drake's eyes opened wide as he recalled Tiamat. It was a G.o.ddess of ancient Sumerian myths. Her comparison in Greek Mythology might be Gaia, the G.o.ddess of Earth and the All-Mother. However… Tiamat had the special trait of being depicted as some sort of draconic being.

Could she actually be in this world that seemed Norse Mythology-like? Now everything was possible at the end of the day, and it was said… she wasn't just the mother of dragons, but of Creation! Could Tiamat… be truly related to this? He couldn't really doubt his own mother now. She was actually talking about his own grandmother after all!

"Tiamat…" Said Drake, the very name of such a G.o.ddess was intimidating yet… somehow comforting to him. The presence of an ent.i.ty even greater than his own mother, which was dormant in the depths of the Draconic Records s.p.a.ce… Could this be the originator of everything, Tiamat herself?

"Do you not believe me?" Wondered Nifl. "I can sense distrust in your emotions."

"I… Well, it is natural, I am just being told something like this." Said Drake.

"Fear not, your grandmother is right here, dormant, but here… Look down, and sense her presence. She's here she's… everywhere in the world. Tiamat was not only the Mother of Creation, but she was the pillar of life alongside Ymir, the Father of Creation, and the t.i.tans, who gave birth to the Giants." Said Nifl.

"S-She was… related to him?" Asked Drake, as he looked down. Deep within the darkness of this s.p.a.ce, he was able to sense something, a strong and enormous ent.i.ty, a presence… this presence continued to resonate with a strong aura of life and nature… of every element, even!

"Ymir? Yes… Mother and Father of Creation, they were husband and wife." Said Nifl. "They were the ones that planted the seed of Yggdrasil, and their bodies are making up the entirety of the world now… They're alive, both Ymir and Tiamat, they're everywhere. Breathing life into the world as we know it…"

Drake felt enchanted by such truth, as he realized that every place he had stepped, everywhere he had seen, the sky, the air he breathed, the dirt he stepped over, the delicious food he had eaten, the people he had meet… everything was part of them in a way or another, even him. Only his soul belonged elsewhere, but perhaps every bit of his body, every cell was born from Tiamat and Ymir one way or the other!

"I see… So Tiamat… that dark figure down there, that's her soul?" Asked Drake.

"Yes… it is her entire soul, it is dormant ever since she died with Ymir." Said Nifl. "She cannot speak directly to us, but she cares for our souls and lead us to a future… A future where we dragons can thrive, my son."

"A future where we can thrive…" Said Drake.

"Your grandmother has already chosen you." Nifl said to Drake, as he was once more caught off guard with such a reveal.

"Chosen me?! For what… reason?" Asked Drake. "And for what purpose? And also, you have yet to explain to me what exactly the Draconic Records are!"

"Yes, yes, all shall be explained swiftly, as you've got little time, my dear." Said Nifl. "Your grandmother has chosen you as the Dragon King."

"…Come again?"

"Dragon King."

"Huh?"

"Dragon King! I said it already, my son. Are you deaf?"

"DRAGON KING?! THAT'S A THING?!"

"Yes! It is a thing, Drake." Sighed Nifl, looking at her son overreact so much was tiring her a bit more. Drake was often rather mature, but one couldn't blame him for being like this after experiencing so many surprises one after the other. In fact, we had to appreciate how resilient he was from not fainting out of shock.

"Dragon King… But that's… ruler of dragons?" Asked Drake.

"Yes, you're the fitting seed to become the Dragon King. The metamorphosis into such a powerful being will be slow though, but your grandmother has already left the seed for you to develop further into this legendary figure…" Said Nifl.

"So our little bro is the dragon king, huh?"

"Amazing, impressive, even!"

"He got the potential, he's half ice dragon and half dark dragon after all!"

"Fafnir as a father and Nifl as the mother… I suppose a hybrid was the humph that our bloodline needed!"

"Hybrid? Hold on a second… that's right! Father is not an ice dragon at all! How come I am just one?" Asked Drake.

"Well, you're not… Haven't you noticed based in your true appearance? You're half dark dragon and ice dragon, dear. You're a strong hybrid, something incredibly rare! More so often a child between two elemental dragons will merely be the element of the mother. But you're a miracle by inheriting your father's bloodline as well! You've got that whole potential yet to awaken too!"

"…Potential?"

"Yes! And there it is, the path towards the Draconic Records of the Dark Dragons as well!" Said his mother, as she pointed at the road made of blood essence leading to a darker area of this world… the are where the dark dragons were!
