Chapter 306: The end of the mission
A month had elapsed since that fateful final battle, marking a turning point in the war against the Shades. With our combined might, Sidus, Breta, and I formed an indomitable trio, an unstoppable force that surged through the battlefield. Together, we mowed down the hordes of Shades, leaving their lifeless forms scattered in our wake. Their numbers dwindled rapidly as we pressed forward, relentless in our pursuit of their annihilation.
The battle was grueling, each engagement fraught with danger and sacrifice. The human alliances fought valiantly, their determination unwavering despite the heavy losses they endured. Though the cost of victory weighed heavily upon them, it was a testament to their resilience and unwavering spirit that they had survived the brink of annihilation.
As the remaining Shades grew weaker and their presence waned, we devoted ourselves to hunting them down, scouring the realm to cleanse it of their vile presence. Sidus and I would take to the skies, our wings carrying us swiftly from one location to another, while Breta remained behind using her divine powers, to help with the restoration progress.
Together, we purged the land, hunting down the remnants of the Shades with unwavering determination. One by one, they fell before our might, their existence erased from the realm. The human alliances, witnessing our relentless pursuit and the diminishing threat, found solace and hope in our presence.
The month was a relentless campaign, but with each passing day, the world grew safer, the darkness receding. We saw the signs of progress and restoration all around us. The capital, once shrouded in shadow, was finally reclaimed, its streets filled with the sounds of reconstruction and new life.

Our work was slowly coming to an end. The rest was up to the humans. There were wounds to heal, both physical and emotional. The scars of the war ran deep, etched upon the land and etched upon the hearts of those who had endured the turmoil. And so after taking care of the last of the Shades, we stood alongside the humans, offering our support and guidance, aiding in the process of rebuilding and healing.
With our mission deemed accomplished, a profound sense of fulfillment washed over me as I ascended a hill overlooking the newly reclaimed capital. From this vantage point, I could witness the magnitude of our triumph, as celebrations and festivities erupted throughout the realm. The air was alive with jubilant cheers and the aroma of feasts prepared in our honor.
As I surveyed the scene below, my gaze was drawn to the grand statues that now graced the heart of the capital. Towering and majestic, they depicted the three of us in all our glory, capturing the essence of our collective strength and unwavering resolve. These statues, erected as a symbol of gratitude and admiration, stood as a testament to the significant role we played in turning the tide of the war.
The realm had transformed, emerging from the depths of despair into a newfound era of hope and prosperity. The scars of battle were gradually healing, replaced by the vibrant spirit of renewal that permeated the land. The people, now free from the clutches of darkness, reveled in the joyous festivities, their hearts brimming with gratitude and admiration for the trio who had led them to victory.
Amidst the celebrations, I couldn't help but reflect on the journey that had brought us here. The sacrifices made, the battles fought, and the lives lostall contributed to this moment of triumph. A smile made its way across my face, 'Not bad for a first mission,' I inwardly mumbled, satisfied that the realm did not need to he destroyed.
As the festivities continued, I felt a profound sense of pride and satisfaction. We had become beacons of hope, guardians of the realm. But beyond that, we had also become a symbol of unity, demonstrating the extraordinary power that lies within collaboration and shared purpose.
And so, as I stood atop that hill, overlooking the vibrant realm that we had helped restore, a sense of fulfillment enveloped my heart. The journey had not been long, but the battles were fierce, and we ended up coming on top. Now with our names etched in the annals of history and our statues standing tall as a testament to our heroism, I knew that the realm would forever remember the triumphant tale of the two dragons and goddess who had united the realm against the forces of darkness.
"Not bad at all," I smiled.
Just then, Breta's figure flew toward me from a distance, her form returning to its human size, devoid of the radiant glow that had surrounded her during battle. Despite her stoic expression, a sense of contentment emanated from her being, palpable in the air.
"Where is Sidus?" she inquired abruptly, her voice carrying a hint of curiosity.
"He's just finishing up his final flight," I replied, casting a glance toward the sky to the west where Sidus was still soaring, his presence a testament to his restless spirit.
"Didn't we ensure that no Shade remnants were left? Besides, the old dragon has also reached out to us. It's time for us to depart," Breta stated, her brow furrowing with concern.
A smile crept across my face as I responded, "He's not too far away, and I'm sure that he knows the situation. It's just that he has been restless lately now that the fight is over, especially after the battles we've faced over the past month."
Breta shook her head in apparent disapproval and gracefully settled herself upon the soft grass beneath us. Her gaze fixed upon the endless expanse of the cerulean sky above, seemingly lost in contemplation.
As I joined her, lying down beside her, I couldn't help but feel a sense of tranquility wash over me. We lay there, the gentle breeze rustling the grass around us. Lost in our thoughts, we awaited Sidus's return, ready to embark on the next stage of our journey, to the next battlefield... The azure sky above seemed to hold the promise of endless possibilities.
At that moment, Eliax, the old dragon who had sent us here, communicated with us once more. The time had come for our departure, and the teleportation gate had been prepared. I cast a glance toward Sidus, who responded with a resounding roar, a display of his exuberance as he soared higher into the sky. Above us, the familiar shimmering gate materialized, ready to transport us to our next destination.
Turning to Breta, the Goddess by my side, I couldn't help but wear a smile. "Well, it seems like Sidus is eager to lead the way. Shall we?" I asked, a playful tone in my voice. Breta simply nodded in agreement, her expression calm and serene. Without hesitation, she transformed into a radiant beam of light, ascending toward the heavens. I followed closely behind her, my wings beating rhythmically as I soared toward the awaiting teleportation gate.
