Reborn as a DRAGON

Chapter 446: Immy & Sidus

POV: Immy:

My eyes scanned the room with a sigh. I wasn't as attuned to the mana as Brother Aether, none of us was, but what could I do? My scales tingled uncomfortably in this so-called tower.

Perhaps the others could not feel it, but I was sure at least Sidus did. Although he tried to hide it, his expression still betrayed him. He was uncomfortable, and understandably so.

The mana in this place was of the Cosmic element. It would have been easier if it had been one of the other four elements, but with it being Cosmic and us being Pillars, it simply felt like I was in a dangerous situation all the time.

I turned my gaze to Brother Aether. He was busy studying the map in the middle of the large table. A frown was ever present on his face. I wasn't sure if he noticed, but he was akin to a fish in water in this place. The abundance of Cosmic mana made my scales tingle uncomfortably, and his presence further magnified that feeling.

I still could hardly believe my eyes, even with him standing in front of me. Brother Aether was always special. We all knew that. But to survive and come back from the dead? That was something else.

I shook my head and regarded Sidus with empathy. It was a significant blow to his pride witnessing Brother Aether's burgeoning strength. Then again, It was a massive blow to all of us.

The sound of giggling drew me out of my thoughts as I glanced at little Essie, who was happily hopping on the bed with a wide grin on her face.

'Well, perhaps not all of us,' I muttered inwardly.

"Going somewhere?" Brother Aether spoke, causing everyone to drop what they were doing and turn to me.

"Ah, I was planning on visiting the city for a short walk," I answered with a smile. There was no reason for me to show my discomfort. Everyone was already on the edge as it was.

Brother Aether frowned lightly. I could tell he wasn't too keen on the idea of us getting separated. It was something I always admired about him. I heard that other draconic families were, more often than not, less agreeable. But he managed to keep all of us together.

If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

Although he might not know it, I was sure that to all of us, he was that pillar of comfort. And so I smiled back before he could speak, "Don't worry, brother. I'm not planning on going far. I just want to stretch my legs. It has been a long day, after all."

Although he didn't look too convinced, he still nodded.

"Okay, but be careful, and if anything happens, release your mana, and I'll teleport right to you," he answered.

I couldn't help but smile before I nodded. It was things like these that made him easy to rely on. "I will, don't worry," I replied.

"I'm going with her," Sidus declared as he rose.

Brother Aether raised his brow in surprise and asked, "You too?"

Sidus nodded, "Yes, I'm curious about the city," he answered.

"Okay, but be careful," he reminded us once more. His eyes turned to little Essie and Ynos, "What about you guys?"

"I'm going to take a nap," Ynos shook his head with a yawn. His large body shifted to the other side as he grew more comfortable on the bed. Heh, is he still sulking because Lost is not here? I chuckled at the thought.

"I'll just wait with you, Brother," little Essie, on the other hand, answered with a cute smile.

Brother Aether nodded and glanced at Breta, who had her eyes closed already and didn't say anything, instead, he turned to us and spoke, "I don't need to remind you we are in foreign territory,"

Both me and Sidus nodded before we took our leave. The door opened automatically with an uncomfortable surge of Cosmic mana. Once outside, we both took to the skies and left the tower before landing on the street below.

"Why did you follow me?" I asked with a harrumph. Although I already knew the answer, Sidus's stupid face still somehow managed to annoy me.

"Who cares about you," He grumbled, "I just wanted out of the tower," he said.

We continued our walk, each of us content to ignore the other, but also not straying too far apart, just in case. The city was quite beautiful. It was unlike any mortal kingdom I had visited before. The sight of so many deities and dragons walking side by side, talking and laughing, was a welcome change.

"It's pretty," I couldn't help but mumble.

Sidus shook his head, "It's too bright," he said.

I rolled my eyes, "There are too many shadows where you can hide,"

"It will still be hard to hide traces of my mana," He shook his head.

"Hmm," I nodded.

The warmth of the sun on my scales was delightful, prompting me to close my eyes and bask in it for a moment. Despite Sidus's disdainful gaze, I chose to ignore him.

"I'm going to go that way," He said, motioning toward a darker alley.

I nodded absentmindedly, "Stay close by. We'll meet again on the main street."

POV: Sidus.

'Who just stands like that in the middle of the road? Like an idiot,' I shook my head in annoyance.

She was being too obvious. We weren't even sure if we were safe here.

"And yet she just stopped there," I sighed as I moved between alleys. The shade provided by the tall towers and buildings was a welcome change from the bright sun.

My eyes subconsciously glanced back to where I had left her. I could still sense her aura standing there like a fool. No matter. I'm sure I can make it there in time should anything happen.

With such thoughts swirling in my mind, I turned another corner only to come face to face with a strange Dragoness. I couldn't sense her presence at all!

My eyes widened as I crashed into her, sending her to the ground. I barely managed to stay on my feet.

"Ah, I'm sorry," I apologized as the Dragoness stood up.

Wait, is she even a Dragon?

The stranger had no wings or scales; instead, her fur was a light purple with whiteish stripes. She had long blue hair that almost seemed to sparkle with electricity, extending from her head all the way to her back. Around her neck, there was a strange golden bell.

She looked nothing like a typical Dragon, but somehow, I was sure she was one.

She stood up with a light groan, almost similar in height to me. That was when I noticed the faint wisps of fire mana circling her.

"What are you?" My eyes widened, and I couldn't help but ask.

"Now, isn't that just rude?" The stranger chuckled sweetly.
