Family Reunion?

Although I had created the World of Arkana, I hadn't created all of the Ultimate Dragons... in detail, so for me this was all new.

"If you're referring to raw power, I'm below…Red. but considering my abilities and what I'm capable of, only Ktnulsk is beyond me.

- Serious?

– I wouldn't say that Auroro, you can overcome me easily.

"I'm just being a little humble, that's all. Even so, I am Auroro, Black Dragon Goddess and Space Dragon, Supreme Creature and Herald of Death. I am the personification of Avarice.

– Haha. Even you dragons can be funny. So, do you mean that in this room are the three main Dragons in the world?

- Three? No. We are in four - said Gold, soon after Dark confirmed.

- What? Who's fourth? – so I looked around, again, who would be the fourth? Alexia? "Are you telling me she's also with a supreme?"

- Yes. but, little Scarlet cannot communicate with words, even if our communication is done "mentally".

– Scarlet?

"She is known to you as Purple, the Goddess of Purple Dragons.

– Purple? I know a little... – very little to tell the truth, apart from Gold and Red, I never made a point of building the others in detail – and I already said that, didn't I?

"Normally mortals would never hear of her, and you surprise me with that statement.

- AND? Yes. Yes. Very little to tell the truth. And is she powerful?

- Yes, she is the Supreme Dragon of Retribution, she can absorb and use the collected power of everything and everyone as she pleases, however, she is the most peaceful of our brothers and we never saw her fight. So her power is still uncertain.

– If she is so peaceful? What made her reincarnate? Did I fight her?

– Not that I know of. She must have her own reasons," commented Ktnulsk.

– I see, and about this skill of Scarlet, isn't it the same skill of Alexia? Or does she have it because of Scarlet?

"You got it wrong, Wynan. Alexia nullifies the powers while Scarlet uses them to counterattack. However, as the Ultimate Dragons, we have direct links to Source and our power is infinite. In this case, the most Alexia can do is temporarily reduce our powers.

- Infinite? To mean...

– Infinity in question of the source of power, but, even for us, our "real" body defines how much of that energy we can manipulate at the same time.

–… – I looked at Alexia, still in that situation – Old Arx said that she has a limit…

- Yes. Until this moment, only you and Wayne have proven capable of withstanding the Source's exhaustion. For anyone else, to overcome or even reach this limit is to call Death itself.

"Hmm, but, that doesn't explain my resistance to other… things…

– Of the Seven Supreme Dragons, our brothers, only me, Auroro and Red have high resistance to everything.

– And Ktnulsk is the most resistant – completed Auroro.

– Does that mean that only me and Wayne are resistant to magic and other effects, like cold and heat?

- Yes.

– But shouldn't we be able to not need to sleep or eat? Why am I so hungry?

– In theory, yes, but you continue as a human existence on the Domains of Reality and therefore you are subject to the general rules that any other mortals.

– That could be a problem. Okay, I have a few questions.

– All right, you can do them.

– If you were supposed to be immortal, how was I able to defeat you, Ktnulsk?

– In the battle we fought, you used both the skill that Alexia has and Red's powers, in addition, you had the Twin Swords. Basically you managed to weaken me while still fighting at full strength. I don't know how you managed to do that, but it worked.

– Seriously, can I use Alexia's ability?

– Yes, however, it does not work on itself. Therefore, it is impossible to use it as self-control.

- About this...

"How can I tell, your abilities are beyond any I've seen in my entire life, and even I, God of Dragons, feel confused about it.

– I also confirm – commented Auroro – His power is incredible, however, dangerous.

– I didn't know that, thank you… – If even them, Supreme Creatures, the strongest creatures in this world were saying that, what could it be? Who am I? I sighed for a moment and asked again – and the swords, where are they?

"I don't know," replied Ktnulsk.

- Don't know or can't talk?

- I don't know. Wynan, we only see what you see and we don't have access to your memories. And remember, we are powerful, but we cannot compare to the Creator.

–... – again the term "Creator" – Ktnulsk, for you, what is the Creator?

– For me, the Creator is our ancestor from which our lives originated.

- Just that?

- I believe that is more than enough to refer to him. If you wish to know more, I cannot grant that wish. Red must know better since he claimed you were the Creator.

– Claimed? Not sure anymore?

– He's an airhead, so we can't draw any conclusions from his words.

- Really, Wynan, Red has always been impulsive and that's why it's hard to believe in his words at first or understand his actions.

– And where is he now?

– Astral Projection is just a gate, whether the other person will go through it depends on him.

– Thanks again – with a pause, I took a deep breath and turned to Wayne, I mean Auroro – Now a question for you: Auroro.

- You can ask.

- I can hear you and also communicate without problem, however, you spoke about Astral Projection. Can we talk another time without being like this?

- Yes. however, you will need to touch me...

- Touch? - I cut her.

– Yeah, actually, play Wayne.

- Touch? – I asked again just to be sure.

– Yes Wynan, what do you understand how to play?

- Is well...

- He doesn't understand anything, Auroro. Wynan, just put your finger on Wayne to open the Communication Bridge - commented Ktnulsk.

– You are not helping much with these double meaning words. Forget it, I think I got it. And now, I have another question, why don't you call Red by his name?

— Because he must first speak to such as he thinks worthy to know his name. Our names are unique. Since you don't remember, your permission has been denied again. We can say that there is only one name for each Supreme Dragon marked in the source and this brings such power to ourselves and those who know such names.

"But from Scarlet—"

- She allowed us to say her name since you touched each other before - explained Gold.

- What?

"When you and Alexia held hands.

- OK I understand.

– It was good to see you Ktnulsk.

- You too Auroro.

– Wait. Can I summon Astral Projection? Can we talk again?

– Yes, you must have a happy thought, or a sad one, or an angry one. Anyway, each of these feelings will grant a different effect to Astral Projection – Gold also explained this, what a wise creature this lizard is.

- So don't say goodbye yet, I'll test something first.

- Well, I'll be seeing what you're up to, so until then.

– Likewise – said Auroro shortly after disappearing into Wayne.

I went back in time. Even after all that talk it was as if nothing had happened. Well, time has stopped, isn't it, nothing was supposed to happen, really. I looked at the two drinking coffee from small ceramic cups – was that supposed to exist in this period? Who knows... - Wayne drank the coffee little by little, however, with quick sips. As for me, I drank all the coffee in one gulp. It was hot, very hot, but that didn't concern me or even Wayne. but for Alexia it was different, she couldn't drink the coffee that fast even in single sips.

I set my empty glass on the table, and looked at Wayne. She was my sister, I have no more doubts. Identical to our mother when she was little. When Auroro confirmed it, it was like just one more certainty. but is she my sister from my world or the sister of Wynan from this world?

- What was it Wynan that sees so much in the girl? Hope you're not thinking about anything," Alexia said with a terrifying look right after taking a quick sip of her coffee. After all he was hot for her.

– How can you suggest that? – yeah, how could she suggest that I was thinking something like that… It just made everything look more sinister. However, looking at Wayne now, she is so cute and looks like a doll... Jeez, focus Wynan, come on! After all, after this break in time, everything turned into one big family reunion. After shaking my head, I looked at Alexia and Wayne, who were on opposite sides – Alexia and Wayne.

- What it was? Alexia asked while Wayne just looked at me.

I need to know if they know anything about the High Dragons and if they are aware of sharing their lives with one of them. And to make matters worse, I have to tell them that Wayne and I are brothers.

"Do you know the High Dragons?" Gold, Dark, Red, Purple, Blue, Green and Silver...

"Yes," they both replied, almost in a single voice.

"And do you know what happens when one of them dies?"

"No," Alexia replied.

"Yes," Wayne replied.

– Really Alexia? I thought you would say "Yes".

– I don't know everything, okay? And what's all with that? – Calm down Alexia, these are just questions. What it was? Just because Wayne said yes?

- Right. I'll be very direct… – I took a deep breath and started to speak – In this room there are four presences, four Supreme Dragons, and they are the strongest of all of them. Everyone is here right now.

- You're saying that... - Alexia was going to continue, but, just with my statement, she understood. However, to confirm, she asked anyway - You're with Gold and Red, aren't you? Since when Master Arx spoke I didn't want to believe it.

- Serious? Wayne asked in surprise. I found this reaction strange since she was looking for me with the title of "Destroyer", wouldn't Red be her target?

- Is there a problem, Wayne? Alexia looked at Wayne this time.

- Is that...

- She carries Auroro with her - I cut Wayne in order to speed up the conversation.

- How do you know that?

– Aurora? Alexia asked even more confused.

"I know because I just spoke to her. Gold did something called Astral Projection while he was standing still.

"Again, this Wynan time-stopping thing?"

– What did you do now, pervert? – asked Wayne softly because he was so blushing.

- Hang on! Stop thinking these things about me. The matter is serious and no! I haven't done anything indecent…yet.

- Yet? – the two questioned at the same time, again.

"Of course, if you insist I'm a pervert, what difference does it make to pretend I'm not?

- You're worse than I imagined - said Wayne looking to the side, trying to hide his shame.

– I'm not going to do anything with my sister – oops, I wasn't supposed to say that now.

- What? What did you say Wynan? - Wayne didn't know what to say.

- Are you sure about that Wynan? Alexia asked right away.

- Yes. It's true Wayne, I'm your big brother. Even Auroro confirmed this to me. Then ask her if you still have questions.

- How could...

– That's not so important now. Alexia, you also have a presence with you: Purple... Purple... Purple!? Uh, I try to say her real name, but, it's like it doesn't come out and every time "Purple" comes out in its place - wait, the other two said that Scarlet's name was said because everyone had been communicated, even I. In this case. I looked at Wayne who was staring at me, after all, he had repeated the word Purple several times and I didn't even give a reason for it – Alexia, hold Wayne.

- What? No!

– Why does she have to hold me?

- Trust me.

- No! – the two answered, simultaneously, and such answer was like a direct stab in my Pride that was already seriously shaken.

– If that's the case, then I'll have to force the issue!

– Hey, wait, what do you mean by that? – and just like that, I gave a big macabre laugh and caught Wayne putting it on my left arm – Let go of me!

- What are you doing?

– Calm down Alexia, you too!

- No! – and went to her. Due to my size and strength, the two were nothing more than "purses" for which I could carry.

When they realized that it was useless to try to run away from me. They stopped flailing, but I didn't let go or anything.

"Where are you taking us, Wynan?

– He will do bad things to us! yelled Wayne, full of fear.

– Calm down girls, I'm going to the pool room.

- What?

– Yeah – and I don't know what I'm doing, literally, my body is just acting on its own accord. Bloody Red, you're the one doing this, aren't you?

Did I mention the indoor pool before? I don't think so. Anyway, on the outskirts of this building with the mountains we share the hot springs on one side and the spring on the other. This means that there is a kind of swimming pool inside the building in a covered hall. Until then there was a part of the building that had collapsed and with a little time, I managed to open the corridor that gave access to the "pool room".

When entering through the door, you can already hear the noise of the current. The water is pure and passes through the building in a way that it never stagnates inside. At each moment the water is a new water, because the previous one has already continued its journey down the mountain. So would it be like a small river or a pool? I don't know.

"Oh, don't think about it, Wy-Wynan!

- Yes, it's gone! – and threw them into the water.

They fell into the water and I smiled.

- Why did you do that? – Alexia got up completely soaked, with water up to her bust.

– This is my turn to "Test" something.

– But what are you testing?

– Testing this! – I ran to the edge and jumped into the water like an exploding ball. Water was thrown in all directions due to the impact.

In the first instance the two were confused, embarrassed and wet. Now, due to all my childishness, they let themselves be guided by the joke.

Water was thrown back and forth. We fought inside the pool as if it were a mortal battle and no one was surrendering until that moment. What a heroic battle!

- Prepare yourselves! I shouted.

- What?

– Get ready?

I rose from the pool and raised my arms. As soon as I put them down, I screamed much louder than before:

- Astral projection!

A great beam illuminated the room and the waters. So suddenly after having shouted such words that the two were stunned by the situation.

Yes! My test had gone well, a happy situation after all. And now we had a special guest – who had a body – besides the two girls of course.

I went to the edge of the pool, got out and walked over to our distinguished new guest.

– Red! You fucking pervert! What do you think you've been doing making me act this way all this time?

– "The creator meets his most problematic son"… – He spoke with a young and rebellious voice.

-Traitor - said Gold with a human appearance: tall and strong man with long golden hair and yellow eyes. He was wearing a blue overcoat with gold markings that certainly reminded him of someone noble, perhaps proud.

– "Good to see you too brother... With all your brotherly love" – Red in turn was a teenager with a little messy reddish hair and some dark locks. His eyes were red like blood. Unlike his brother, he appeared to wear conventional villager's clothing.

Unlike his brother, he appeared to wear conventional villager clothing.

- Welcome back Ancient Dragon God - said Dark, she was a beautiful woman and had short hair despite two large locks that divided her face. Her eyes were a dark blue and her skin a lovely pale. Unlike the other two, she wore what looked like leather armor with some metal plates.

Unlike the other two, he wore what looked like leather armor with some metal plates.

– "Auroro. Scarlet. " – and made reference to the woman and to a child of the same age as Wayne who was next to Alexia. She has braided pink hair and light violet eyes, or purple, I can't say – "What is this, a family reunion? Aren't there more brothers missing?"

She has braided pink hair and light violet eyes, or purple, I can't say – "What is this, a family reunion? Aren't there more brothers missing?"

- Stop with that arrogance Red, you who brought us here. You took this boy to face us. You didn't explain anything to us and now you want to act like you don't understand? said Ktnulsk, somewhat furiously.

– "Sim".

– Just "yes"?

– "Yes" – repeated Red.

"Boys, please..."

- Enough with this tantrum, you even seem... human - said Alexia. but, she herself doubted her scolding, after all, everyone there was human.

– Yeah, before Red says what he knows… why are you all in human form? – I asked quite confused even though before going to Red I didn't seem to care.

"Oh… this?" - Ktnulsk said looking at his own hands and clothing - Since we are now partly human, we associate a similar form with our host. But, it's just an illusory form, after all, we can't touch or be touched.

– "Very inconvenient, right Creator"? "Now that I'm here and I can see them face to face, I can't touch them, but you can."

- What! What crazy idea is this? – I said looking at Alexia and Wayne who fell like a mouse falls into a trap.

"Wynan, I hope you're not thinking about anything," Alexia called out.

- Forget it Red, what's going on? Why am I here?

– "Really, you don't remember anything"? "And I thought I could trust you."

"Seriously, if you're not going to explain to us what's going on, can you at least stop doing this... this thing you're doing to me?"

- "Don't worry, someone is coming who will end the conflicts anyway"... - commented Red still sarcastically.

- Like this? Wayne asked. It was his first word in front of Red which made him stop teasing me and walk over to her.

– "You are Auroro's companion, how graceful".

– Red! What's your problem? Is afraid? What is it with you to act like that?

– "I'm not afraid of anything! I even challenged the Creator and still you think I'm afraid"?

"So… call me Wynan and help us understand.

– "Wynan? Whatever… the Creator was summoned by his children"… – children refers only to you, right, Red? – "To decide their fates at the End of Time".

– Would this be some kind of Game?

– "Yes. The players were chosen from the beginning. But who would say that our Creator doesn't remember anything"?

- Why are you talking this way Red, is this fear of what might happen?

– "It's not fear! I won't back down from the battle even if it already has a winner"...

His words were as sharp as swords and he was hurting us, killing us for every thrust, for every word that came out of his mouth – for what a nickname at this point like: Weapon of Depression. So I went to where his "physical" form was.

– Wait Red, stop saying these things, it's not like you were helping in this situation.

– "What will this change"? – as I walked with him, I distanced myself from where the others were. From then on, we could only talk to the two of us.

- All. I see that you are not afraid of Death or of fighting. but you fear that the battle will not be glorious or fair, do you?

– "..."

"You challenged and tested me. Then he took me to each of your brothers, including the two you considered worthy opponents for the test. I knew that if I was able to face them, I would be able to win the Game, right? Also, do you know that a Supreme Dragon cannot die and if it loses its body it takes over another, passing on part of its power, is that why you faced me?

– "Are you really the Creator"? "How did you manage to understand everything so quickly"... "It doesn't matter, what's the point now? You lost your memory"...

- AND? What's the matter, can I get it back again.

– "So what's my name"?

- Your name? I don't know.

– "If you can't remember the name of a friend, who will say that he is able to use all his acquired powers".

– If this is the problem, teach me again! Ktnulsk said that I am able to use all abilities...

– "Ktnulsk is sometimes very incredulous, sometimes it seems to walk side by side with Hope".

- But, that doesn't deny that I could perform such feats just by willpower, without even knowing it.

– "Yes. I saw it. I even saw the times you put everything to waste".

"These shouldn't count. Its raw power is greater than anything else. It doesn't lower the difficulty level... please, Red, trust me once more and teach me everything you know, and not just me... because we're not alone - I looked at Wayne and Alexia who were now talking with Auroro and playing with Scarlet. Ktnulsk, on the other hand, watched the dawn through the large patio windows.

– "Trust only loses once Wynan, remember that".

- Said the perverted Red.

- "I"? "Haha. You forgot that we only influence our hosts' wishes and therefore I only helped you with a little courage to act the way you wanted."

"Oops, I don't know about that.

– "I'm not going to take the blame for this".

"Then stop giving me courage in situations like this. I can very well live with such scenes only in my head and imagination.

– "I know"..., "but it's not like I want to do something. It's just the way it is".

– Shit. It was the same thing that Ktnulsk said.

"And Wynan, call me Eremyr.

– "Eternal Flames"?

- "Hey, you said you didn't remember"...

– That's a long story. But I'm glad you can trust me once again. Can we work together? – I looked again at the group that had formed in the pool.

– "This group will take some work to train, but I accept the challenge".

And I went to the pool, happy with the situation. So it would be a kind of game, that's why I was summoned to this world, in fact, to my world? Is Fate in our hands? Then we must guide him with an iron hand.

We only need to worry about the person who should arrive, after all Eremyr said she would be a problem. The Creator's first big test in his own world? May come!
