![The Rise Of Legend [LIGHTNING]](https://pub-808a39b4257a4970ba241a999948d404.r2.dev/the-rise-of-legend--lightning-.webp)
Like a hidden paradise, the Garden of Eden was enchanting to anyone who first saw it.
Large rocks turned out to accumulate and surround this place so that it looks hidden because from the outside, it will only look like a rock hill.
The green ground was exposed like a comfortable carpet, a wide variety of colorful flowers. Small animals such as butterflies, bees, dragonflies to small birds sing. Animals such as rabbits, squirrels, and deer are not left there. Small rivers flowing from the rock crevice become a source of water there with occasional fish jumping.
However it may be described, the Garden of Eden is comfort. The three new people were even tempted to shed their bodies onto the grassy ground.
"This place is so beautiful" said Nora.
Ellena agrees, The Garden of Eden is so beautiful and mesmerizing, if the special eye does not see a single discrepancy. Not something that destroys the beauty of the park, just.the existence is too extraordinary to be there.
"Gee, little lady saw it quickly, as expected" said a smiling little Freya looking at Ellena who continued to stare straight in one direction.
Andesz and Nora finally saw something and opened their mouths.
"That's... ." Andesz was so shocked that he was speechless.
"Golden Tree!"peekik Nora splashy.
Wasn't it! That's not what surprised Andesz. The golden tree that looked lush and fruitful was indeed surprising, but the Andezs were more concerned about the figure of the creature sleeping underneath. A large, black scaly animal and sharp claws on each leg.
A Dragon! Especially with his aura that felt even grander and more extraordinary, he knew this one monster was much higher than VRITRA.
"A Top-tier Dragon, I never thought I'd see it here." Andesz muttered in amazement.
"Yes, so am I."
Andesz looked down at the girl. His feelings became complicated when he saw the boy who had been arguing with him now seemed more silent.
"Oh, little lady, come closer. He's been waiting for you."
Usually Ellena would be stupid. She likes to see others resent her, even Aunt Em is no exception (not often). But this time Ellena did not argue. He asked Andesz to bring closer to the golden tree and the dragon. Fifty metres from Ellena was taken down because the black dragon was growling at Andesz and Nora.
"El..."
"I can Nora." Ellena stopped Nora who was about to grab her arm.
[.zzzttzzz.].
Doping the power came again. All honest Ellena's body is no longer felt even though the weakness does not disappear.But Ellena is not weak. He got up and walked slowly though slightly bowed.
Ellena almost fell down from tripping on her own leg when the huge dragon's head couldn't hold her back. Ellena's fingers looked small on the dragon's hard and cold nose.
"I feel weird. After I woke up I felt something had changed. And the weirdest thing I'm now is suddenly feeling like talking to you, a big lizard." Ellena's hair instantly flew in all directions as the black dragon exhaled from its nose tight as if snorting.
Ellena laughed, "You understand what I said! How clever." with the purple-haired girl's squish (scrub) the dragon's thick scaly snout.
Far away, Andesz, Nora and Reyna Freya and the other Older Elves stared at the black dragon wiggling its tail like a pleasure dog.
To be honest Ellena had a little fear of the big snakes and other legend-class monsters after being massacred all-out by VRITRA on Mount Talos. But when she saw this beautiful dragon, Ellena was like she was meeting an old friend.
"You know, I feel like I know you" Ellena said suddenly.
The black dragon looked at Ellena with big black eyes. To others the eyes looked evil and cruel, but to Ellena the eyes of the dragon were filled with affection.
Suddenly the dragon straightened its head and aligned it with Ellena's smaller body. Subconsciously the girl reached out her right hand and gently touched the dragon's muzzle. And without warning a powerful sting was flowing from his hand.
[WNTTZZ]
Ellena suddenly took off her hand and glared at the dragon.
"Hey! I thought we were friends. I'll die if you stun like...that's...??" Ellena's nagging died as she looked at her well-feeling body.
Ellena felt lost in her wits but she kept trying to stand up and how surprised she could stand up straight and not bend down again like a decrepit teenager.
The girl felt her body and pressed the parts that had been painful but her whole body was fine. Ellena jumped around a little to test her leg muscles and was amazing!
"EL! WHY RUN?!" Nora screamed when she saw her sick foster sister suddenly standing up, jumping up and down without warning just run away.
Ellena ignored Nora's screams and ran around the park. Her footwork was getting faster and faster and made Ellena laugh with excitement.
"It's great! What the hell are you doing? I felt new and healthy." as Ellena returned to the black Dragon who somehow healed her pain with an electric shock.
So happy Ellena hugged the dragon's hard muzzle with her whole body, making her look like a lizard in the dragon skin that was as crowded as a wall.
From a distance one of the Older Elves whispered to the other Older, "Now I saw the Dragon let a lizard in his face. If that were we would've been stung to death."
"Why do you compare yourself to a child?"
"I don't! Hmh!"
Back to Ellena.
"Whatever it is, you're very cool." he exclaimed until Ellena felt strange once again, but this time the stun hit her brain.
"Same.. same... "
Eh?
Without taking off her body that was clinging to her like a lizard, Ellena's head looked up at the big black eyes that were looking at her straight.
"What...The one who spoke in my head.Was that you?"
Answering Ellena, the dragon snored again and then the sting returned he felt.
"I... Druk.. friends..familiar.. lord..."
Ellena's heart was pounding faster. He again felt foreign vibrations that continued to occur all day. But in contrast to the denial that Ellenal did to Andesz, the girl was curious why she was this powerful great dragon declaring itself to be her friend even though this was their first meeting.
"I.. wait... mister. lama... since abandoned.... keep... Tree... Life."
Ellena kept hearing every word for word that was spoken in her head. Druk, the dragon who can speak in his head seems to have trouble composing words properly as if this is the first time talking to humans again after a long time.
It feels silly but Druk, this dragon has no reason to lie to him.
"Druk. I'm not the one you're waiting for and I'm not the one to leave you either." Ellena refused again.
Ever since Andesz came up with such an absurd identity this afternoon, Ellena had always felt herself unsettled. His logic was defiant but there was a part of him that kept sending signals of familiarity.
"I'm confused and scared."
All her life Ellena never felt afraid. It's true that she's scared when Auntie Em is angry or has bad intentions to add to her hell practice but this fear feels different.
Losing their identity. When Ellena only knew she was Ellena Ellyzzia, Emily Ellyzzia's niece from the Outer Forest, she wouldn't go crazy if someone else called her another person. The figure he never knew.
Druk the dragon again snored and stung his head, "Master..real... always.... go... come in the end.... master.... is..my lord..."
Ellena looked at the dragon and said, "You have to improve your vocabulary a lot, Druk."
Druk the dragon snorted.
"I..talk..mister..."
"Well, since you can only talk to me, I'll talk to you more." Ellena rejected the concept of Mr. Druk mentioned but by herself Ellena treated the dragon like an old friend.
"El!"
Unaware that she was clinging to Druk on her head, Ellena forgot that she was still clinging to him like a lizard on Druk's snout. At the back, Andesz and Nora approached, followed by Reyna Freya and the other Olders.
It was Freya who approached him with a smile full of expectation.
"Oh, little lady, you seem to be familiar with the Great Lightning Dragon, the guardian of the Golden Apple Tree, on this island. It's amazing."
Ellena was silent not to respond to the praise of Reyna and Freya also seemed to smile creatures with the determination of teenagers in front of her.
"Oh, I know there's a lot you want to ask, little lady." In this passage Ellena nodded. Again and again Reyna Freya smiled at the perfume
"Oh, then let's sit down. It's time you found out who you are, little lady. Or rather who you used to be."
