Protector of the World Tree

I suddenly woke up hearing someone calling me. "My child, its time to wake up." I slowly stood up and watched the place surrounding me. I looked behind my back and saw an enormous tree, as if we were one. "My child." Suddenly, creatures coming from different directions appear in front of me, forming a crescent-moon shape. One by one they bowed and flower petals fell from the sky. "Welcome home, my child."

Rai's POV

'Chirp, chirp.'

'Chirp, chirp.'

'Flip, flip, flip, flip, flip, flip.'

"My lord!!"

'hop, hop.'

'Hop, hop.'

'Hop, hop."

'Hop, hop.'

"*Pant, pant* M-my lord."

"What is it this time?" I asked while flipping the book fast, since I can remember the words very quickly.

I'm reading books that an old bookman recently sent me here at the library. The wisp traversed the other continents. In addition to delivering news, the wisp is unique among his type since the fairies were lured out using the wisp as bait.

"*Pant, pant* The wisp has arrived. *"

'Flip, flip, flip, flip, flip.'

'*Closes the book. *' Raising my head, I teleported over to the world tree, where the wisp waits. My eyes opened to the sight of a brilliant, spherical light hovering in mid-air. A sprite known as "Wisp," or "Will o the wisp," carried a transient "wisp" of light. It was stated that naive voyagers would follow the light and become lost in the marsh.

The stack of books is placed before the world by the wisp, and then it disappears. I read the book that was closest to me.

'Flip, flip, flip, flip, flip, flip.'

"Callis."

"Yes, my lord?"

"Bring all books into the library and handle them with proper care."

'Flip, flip, flip, flip, flip, flip.'

"As you wish."

'Flip, flip, flip, flip, flip, flip.'

The books suddenly floated, and they moved towards the library.

'Flip, flip, flip, flip, flip, flip.'

I haven't have a fun excursion in the human world in ten years. Everything returned to normal once the Kraken was gone, and the fish market in the Angora kingdom expanded. Their nation prospered, and their monarchy emerged as the primary supplier of fish.

The nation flourished and the Lustina Kingdom emerged as the main hub for trade. It is stated that the Crown Prince is in charge of overseeing trade with the other continents. With the assistance of Viscountess Ameleas, Count Lysanthir, and Duke Ravana, they are now concentrating on commerce. They were the Lustina Kingdom's richest nobility.

Since the majority of magicians originated in the Elyarus Kingdom, it rose to prominence. They established an institution that attracted magicians from many nations and continents. In the academy, it makes no difference if they are a noble or commoner; your standing is meaningless.

Since the dryads refused to assist the elves in restoring the forest, it took years for the trees and other plants to repopulate, and the Rathian Kingdom was only now gradually reclaiming its forest. They also had a two-year drought, but with the assistance of the other kingdoms and the Empire, they are gradually rebuilding their nation.

The Sylthana Empire rose to great popularity as the richest and most powerful nation on the continent. They take their military knights seriously. Without assistance from other nations, they destroyed one of the Black Storm Institute's main strongholds in a single day. It was the Imperial crown prince, who was icy and merciless commanding the knights.

I haven't gone to the human world in ten years, and I'm bored right now. I awoke from a five and a half-year slumber and the remaining years was enjoying my days here in Alexio.

'Flip, flip, flip, flip, flip, flip.'

"Good day, my lord." Callis.

"Mhhhmm.."

Early in the morning, as they made their way toward the dragon's nest, everyone exchanged greetings.

"We greet the lord." The dragons brought me to an ornate throne and bowed their heads. It appears to be a king's seat as well. I folded my legs across the chair. I looked at them seriously while resting my left hand on the armrest.

"I received a message from the wisp." Everyone became silent and nervous.

"We are trying our best to retrieve the dragon egg," the dragon king, Xaithus, said in a nervous tone.

"I didn't say to try it; just do it," I remarked in a stern and frightening voice, and everyone bowed. The dragon knights morphed into humans and started to move.

"I will give you an entire week to retrieve the egg." I stood from my seat and went towards the world tree.

'Child.'

"*Sigh* Should I sleep for another year?"

'*Chuckle* You have rested long enough, child." I lay on the ground, rolled around, and slept.

__________________________

"So, you're saying you failed at retrieving the egg?" I was taken aback since dragons can follow a dragon's location and detect scents.

"We deeply apologized, my lord." The dragons, including the dragon king, kneeled in front of me with apologetic faces... I brushed my face with both of my palms.

"It's fine, it's fine. It seems like someone might pick it up and use it as an experiment. *Sigh* We have to think fast." I said while trying to think of a new plan.

"Please give us another chance, my lord." The dragon king begged for me.

"*Sigh* Fine, I'll give you a chance. Bring that egg to me within a week," I said and all the dragons went back to the human world to find the egg.

"Callis." A rabbit appeared, kneeling in front of his right hand on his left shoulder.

"Yes, my lord?"

"Track the egg's whereabouts. We need to find it fast before something bad happens."

"As you wish." He disappeared again. I went back to the world tree, asking for her help.

'Don't worry, child, the egg is in a safe place.' Ellen.

"But what if they try to gain the trust of the dragon and use him as an experiment?" I worriedly asked.

'The Crown prince of Lustina is taking care of the egg.'

"..."

"...."

"What?" 

'The Crown prince found the egg while wandering through the forest, and he carried it back to the castle.'

"*Sigh* Thank God." I sigh and drop onto the ground. The news that the egg had moved to a better location brought me relief.

'It's time to call everyone back, child.' Ellen

I used telepathy to communicate with the dragons. I heard a chuckle, and she teased me.

'Everyone, come back. The egg is safe.' I said.
