Chapter 200: Damon is the what now?

"Please stop" I pleaded and sigh "I don't want to see this anymore, I might break if you show me their deaths on repeat"

"Sorry" Phobetor apologized as the nightmare stopped "I'll come back later when you recover"

I woke up to see my bonds looking at me with concern. Diana and Damon returned too as they are in my room. There are tears dropping out of my eyes despite I wasn't even crying.

-You talk in your sleep sometimes, but...I've never seen you cry in your sleep before- Ace commented

-Well there was that time, but that was right after the incident- Diana pointed out

-Fuck that other brother of mine, he replayed my siblings deaths on repeat with different form of deaths each time. This is why I don't want to use 'void of eternal nightmares'-

-Well did it help?- Siege asked

-No, not really. I wasn't out long, was I?-

-No- Dabria answered -I sensed him, but I didn't need to come out like last time since you said that Hypnos would send your brothers to train you-

-Damn it, and still no clues about my mother. Let's go directly to the snow dragon settlements after this, we'll prioritize me last since the only way we can get clues is when we go back to my previous world, so we'll find clues about Diana's parents after this-

-Even if we find them, I doubt they would want anything to do with me- Damon sighs -There's a reason for why they abandoned me-

*****

I had us warped to the Loken continent, and we thought that flying was a bit boring, so we decided to head there on foot. We are trudging through the forest swatting flies away.

"So your professor isn't coming with us this time?" Cordelia asked "By the way, what did you do to make her no longer in love with you?"

"I asked Hypnos to help, he said he owed me a favor for not being there in my past life. So yeah, I'd rather have a girl like me for who I am than having one who only likes me due to misuse of my abilities"

-She is kinda hot though, what a waste. This is why I hate being a good person-

-Thought so- Dabria sighs -You should have left that good person façade for a while longer-

"Isn't she attractive? And if you factor in your mental age, you're both around a similar age." Cordelia pointed out

"I already have you, so it doesn't really matter if I get another lover or not...There's the mountain, so do you want to hike and climb there or do you want to fly?"

"Um I have little experiences climbing so let's fly up" Cordelia answered

*****

We landed on the entrance before we can sense a large presence coming at us at high speed.

"Who dare approaches?!"A loud voice roared as large dragon appeared

It was an old snow dragon about Damon's size, he was narrowing his eyes at us. Damon is staying in his dragon form in order to make the settlement more welcoming towards him. He is in the grey core level.

"Hmph" he huffed "A cat, a dog, a chicken, a human, a naiad and a fellow snow dragon, what a strange lot"

"Well Ace is indeed a cat, but Siege is a wolf, Diana's a phoenix, my girlfriend would be a naiad, but she is born from the the royals, so she's much stronger, a nereid, a much rarer breed of water nymph. And I'm only half human"

<Though the nereids from the Greeks were minor goddesses, this world is different>

"Does this pipsqueak always talk this much?" the dragon asked Damon "Hmm...you have a strange scent on you...A corrupted!"

"Woah, so smart" I applauded sarcastically

"Not just that" he continued and narrowed his eyes at me "You! All these beasts are your bond, you are somewhat special for a pipsqueak"

We then explained our situation from him.

"I just need a bit of more confirmation" he responded "So you were abandoned as an egg in the north of Acira, up on the snowy mountains?"

"Um yes, that seems to be what we just said" Damon nodded

"If I'm right then you came at the right time. Come inside, Galem will explain everything to you. My name is Ron, remember that" the dragon introduced himself as we were then led in "You're lucky that he's here today"

*****

Ron is apparently the guard for this particular settlement, and people have been giving Damon strange looks as if they know something that the rest of us don't. They didn't bother to whisper though, if they did, our enhanced hearings would pick it up and know.

Most of them gave way and let us through once Ron talked to them, either Damon is something special or Ron is abusing his position as a guard.

-Well Dabria, you know something about this? I don't recall any of this from your memories, maybe your new manuals say something-

-Wait just a moment- Dabria replied -Let me read my books and see what I can find...There it is! Oh...I think I know-

-So that means, you could've just read it earlier and told us about it-

-Sorry, I got it just 2 weeks ago- she apologized -And I've been putting it off for while but there is a new spider-man movie, it even got the 2 previous spider-men in it-

-Wait it got Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield?- Ace asked

-That's impossible!- Diana exclaimed

-Oh but it is- Dabria said proudly -And Perseus died before he could watch it-

-NOOOOO!!-

-Way to rub it in...do it more- Siege encouraged her

We were then led to this old frail sleeping dragon who I assume is Galem. He had a black core and snoring very loudly.

"Old man, wake up!" Ron yelled until the frail dragon wakes up. He then explained our situation.

"I'm Galem" the old dragon introduced himself "I'm glad that one of my children directed you here, and you are just about on time. I will need your blood for confirmation, Matt"

"I'm Damon" Damon corrected

"Whatever" he then created a large bowl of ice and Damon scratched his claws and dripped blood into it.

The moment his blood landed and touched the bowl, it disperses into some sort of blue particles and shone brightly, Ron and Galem then looks excited as they saw it.

"I knew it!" Ron exclaimed

"Tom, you are a candidate for the position of the dragon lord" Galem said

"My name is Damon" Damon corrected him again
