Mother

Previously:

(Hikari) - "Shut up, if you weren't an important figure, I would kill you right here right now. By the way, if you touch or move him, I'll make you suffer."

The king finally passes out.

Hikari gets into her dragon form and lays down next to Alderam...

Spooning him of course.

(End)

*Ellie P.O.V. *

When I walk through the door I see a long hallway with a... tiny room at the end? How the heck do I get out with no exit?

I stand inside the room and see two little up and down arrows within a circle. I poke the upward arrow and I immediately regret my decision. The door slams shut and I start to fly upwards at insane speeds.

(Ellie) - "I'm going to be sic...blergh!"

The door slowly opens like nothing just happened with a little ding at the end. I crawl my way out of the tiny room and I see that I am in a cave with an orange button at the end.

(Ellie) - "[Heal]!"

I push myself up and carefully move over to the orange button. I then poke it and sprint my way back to where I was before. Thank God, the door opened. I walk out and take in the scenery as I am now on the top of a mountain.

(Ellie) - "Finally feels so much better being outside. Now that I think about it, I should probably apologize to that weirdo for the events that occurred in the tiny room (Sigh). Where is the nearest town, my party must be worried sick."

I learned that this is the same dungeon that my party and the dragon raided earlier, so I need to find the entrance to the dungeon to figure out where I need to go.

I eventually find my way and start to head towards the town. I'll need to be careful considering that I am alone and not much of a fighter.

*Timeskip 7 Days*

I managed to get my way there quickly with the help of a traveling merchant. I ended up healing his wife's sickness which gave me a free ride to the town.

(Merchant) - "If you need to sell anything in the future, I'll give you a special discount. Farewell!"

(Ellie) - "I will, thanks for everything!"

When I arrive in the town, I rush to the guild not forgetting to thank the merchant's family and the carriage driver.

I stop before entering the guild because I see many adventurers bursting out of the guild rushing their way out of the town toward the Kingdom of Dawn. I wonder what is going on here?

I walk in and talk to the guild receptionist.

(Ellie) - "What is going on, did something happen?"

(Lily) - "Didn't you hear, the Kingdom of Dawn is being attacked. It is probably coming to a close, but there is a 1 gold coin reward to whoever joins."

If the adventurers are heading to Dawn then that can only mean my party is there! I need to head out as soon as possible!

(Lily) - "It is really unfortunate because the hero Leo still hasn't shown up apparently. The power balance of the world is going to shift with the destruction of a kingdom."

I turn around and narrow my eyes.

(Ellie) - "Thank you very much, I'll be on my way."

I see the same Merchant I encountered unloading goods onto the ground from his carriage.

(Ellie) - "Mr. Merchant, can you please do me one last huge favor?"

(Merchant) - "Yes, what do you need?"

(Ellie) - "Please let me borrow your horse, I will pay you back. I need to find my party, without their healer, they might be in trouble."

(Merchant) - "(Sigh), this is only a one-time thing considering that you saved my wife. Just please bring him back."

I hop on and ride towards the Kingdom of Dawn.

*Back in the Kingdom*

All of the undead except the dragons fall over and turn to dust. The undead dragons are constantly weakening as a result of the defeat of Tennin. This allows the stronger adventurers to defeat the dragons with high difficulty with a few casualties.

One unfortunate dragon shot a fireball at the castle which happened to wake up a beautiful white dragon. Let's just say that dragon was not a happy camper and shot a giant white beam completely destroying the undead dragon.

*Alderam P.O.V.*

This happened to 'accidentally' wake up another dragon who happened to be 2 feet behind her.

(Alderam) - "*groan* what happened?"

(Hikari) - "I'm so sorry my love, I'll take my life right here right now for my insolence!"

(Alderam) - "Please don't do that..."

(Hikari) - "Awww, I am falling in love with you all over again!"

Damn, what a way to wake up. I feel pretty weak, what's going on with that Karen?

(Karen) - Your magic went out of control and you have not regenerated all of the lost magic.

(*Alderam*) - "Status!"

Hey Karen, why did my health go down?

(Karen) - You ran out of magic, forcing out spells can kill or injure the user.

I better note that for the future I guess. Now that I am done here, I think I will go visit my mother. I hope she is doing alright because she was in really terrible shape when I left to go to the dungeon.

(Alderam) - "Hey Hikari, can we go visit my mother figure? I would like to introduce you two and see her again."

(Hikari) - "I will go wherever you will and I will kill anyone that gets in our way."

How the hell could she say that with a smile on her face the entire time! I don't think having her meet Parthenia is a good idea...

*30 Minutes Later*

(Alderam) - "...and this is Hikari, my wife."

I then get tail dragged over to Hikari in a forced hug.

Parthenia narrows her eyes and lets out a low growl. She then grabs me with her tail in a tug of war with Hikari.

(Parthenia) - "Young Alderam, why art thou mates with this, this, hag! She is thy mortal enemy and she is older than even me!"

(Hikari) - "You aren't looking good for your age one eye!"

I can see a mini lightning bolt connecting both of their heads as they growl at each other. How do I defuse this situation without getting myself killed!?

(Alderam) - "I'm sorry, I just wanted to show you how I've grown and that I am now doing just fine. Oh ya, I killed the holy knight earlier!"

(Parthenia) - "Hmm, congratulations! Where is the egg!?"

What a change of tone! It looks like she totally forgot that Hikari existed.

(Alderam) - "Egg?"

Oh right, the 'ceremony' is that. How do I explain this to Parthenia?

(Alderam) - "You see I..."

(Hikari) - "We were going to have the ceremony today actually!"

(Alderam) - "Wait..."

(Parthenia) - "Wonderful news, I'll leave the cave for tonight for some privacy!"

She gives a wink with her one eye which doesn't hold up and just looks really weird.

(Alderam) - "Do I get a say in this at all!?"

(Hikari) - "Nope."

Parthenia leaves and I get dragged down towards her treasury.

*Ellie P.O.V.*

It seems like I made it to the kingdom too late. The buildings are destroyed, people are dead, and people are crying.

I look around for my party to no avail because the kingdom is too large. I head to the guild but that building is also destroyed which makes me only hope that they are okay without me.

No, I don't want to be useless. I'll help everybody! I run around finding anybody I can that is injured and start to heal their wounds. After around an hour, I am almost dry of my magic reserves.

I can tell that I will fall unconscious any second now but I need to finish healing this little boy. I barely finish when I slowly fall down getting caught by familiar hands before falling asleep.

I wake up to find myself lying in an unfamiliar bed with two people by my side. They are none other than my two party members that were... drooling on me?

The two idiots are sleeping on me with a red face indicating that they have been crying. I smile and flick them both on the head which startles them and makes Jean fall over. They both look at me and give me a hug that could probably kill a bear.

I look outside and drop my head downwards.

(Ellie) - "All good things must sadly come to an end."

(End)
