Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System

Chapter 1545 Visiting The Wind Dragon Realm

-----

Once we entered the Wind Dragon Realm by being invited by Emerald, we found ourselves in the middle of the heavens. We were all standing right above a small floating island. It looked as if it was made out of the ruins of a larger and ancient temple, now floating in the endless skies.

Similarly, there were hundreds of other floating islands spread all across the skies. And a strong yet soothing wind constantly washed over us, making us feel quite relaxed. Emerald quickly guided us.

"Over here, please follow me."

He waved his huge, feathered wings, flying into the skies with incredible speed and precision. We followed him by flying right behind him. Riding the winds and the clouds, it felt almost relaxing. And on the way there, we noticed many more islands, some of them full of animals, others that were completely empty.

We saw giant and colorful birds the most, of all kinds of shapes and sizes. But there were also wyverns and other flying reptiles. Some reminded me of pterosaurs discovered back on Earth. We even saw flying fishes of all colors, and giant flying whales, so big they held whole ecosystems over their backs.

"We're here…" Emerald sighed in relief. After we flew for almost ten minutes, we arrived at the largest floating island we've found so far.

Its surface was covered by a very large jungle, with some mountains in the background, and a huge temple in the middle of it. The entire place somewhat reminded me of the Nature Dragon's Domain. Except that the Wind Dragon Domain was all in the sky, spread onto countless of islands.

"Follow me, I think they've already noticed we're here." Emerald said while still feeling quite nervous.

We followed him, walking across the jungles. Immediately after we stepped in, we sensed the gazes of many dragons. Hiding in the jungles. In complete silence. Perhaps similarly to Emerald, their feathers were all green, easy to camouflage across this forest.

"They're quite rude, just hiding and watching us…" Surtr complained. "Can't they greet us normally, Emerald?"

"Sorry, my kin are… Well, my family doesn't like outsiders. Some other dragon families might be different. But we Wind Dragons live our lives in complete isolation from the rest of the world. Above floating islands in the real world too." Emerald said. "We live secluded lives, but they are good lives, nonetheless. I feel like mother simply thinks its better to not deal with the dangers and problems of the surface."

"Problems of the surface you say…" Surtr sighed. "I guess I can't blame you. I do feel the same sometimes. Like I just want to run away from all problems, live somewhere secluded, with the people of the village…"

"I share the same sentiment." I nodded. "And well, you're not the only dragons that live secluded. Don't the Earth Dragons do the same, but underground? Most surviving dragons have to hide nowadays. They need to survive for what's coming. Preparing for the future."

"Hahaha, I-I guess…" Emerald sighed, stepping forwards. We found ourselves right in front of the huge temple, which had carving depicting many Wind Dragons.

They looked just as I had imagined, like Emerald. They were perhaps the only dragons with beaks like birds. They weren't all like the hawk-like beak of Emerald though. I could see they varied a lot in appearance. Well, like all dragons. It doesn't mean that just because they share a bloodline, that they will be clones of one another.

As we stood in front of the temple, we could sense the presence of someone inside of it, resting. The rest of the Wind Dragons cautiously walked across the jungles, emerging one after another. Their appearances rather amazing. Some resembled delicate, four-legged hummingbirds, others fierce like gryphons, some were large, with long beaks like those of toucans. But even the smallest of them all was still as huge as dozens of meters.

Such like Emerald, they had very colorful feathers, most of them had green feathers, but the green feathers were mixed with blue, red, yellow, pink, orange, and so on. They all looked rather flamboyant, but also majestic. These might be the most colorful dragons I've ever meet.

"Mother… I am back. I've learned how to enter the Draconic Records. A-And… I think I have grown a little stronger now."

As Emerald spoke, the entity resting inside of the temple awoke. It crawled out of the temple, revealing herself to us. She was unlike her children, resembling a giant, feathered serpent. She still had legs though, four mighty legs, but her long body, serpent-like face, and colorful rainbow feathers spread across her body and decorating her chest and neck made her look completely different.

She had a huge pair of colorful wings right above her shoulders, and her eyes shone with golden brilliance. She had a beak too, a mighty and sharp one, resembling a hybrid between a bird and a snake. She looked stunning on her own right and was majestic too. Her size surpassing hundreds of meters as she walked out of the gigantic ruins.

"So it was really you, Emerald, my youngest child." She said, stepping out, and analyzing Surtr and me. "I see you've brought friends. It seems… You've experienced a few things too many. Has the journey been fun so far?"

"I-I guess. More like incredibly stressful." Emerald sighed. "Mother, I know I am still lacking. And I have not come back to tell you to let me go back home yet."

"I would agree if you asked me to. You seem to have matured enough to even put others before your own wishes." She smiled. "You sure have changed… But all this time, I was also very worried. I might have been too harsh on you, now that I've reflected… I know you've come for other reasons but… I am very sorry, Emerald."

"E-Eh?" Emerald felt surprised as his mother approached him and hugged him with her long, snake-like tail, and then licked his entire body with her incredibly long tongue.

"I love you so much, my son… Will you forgive me? I might have gotten too angered back then. It is not normal for me to lose my temper, and I forced you to go through so many hardships as a result…" She cried.

"Mother…" Emerald sighed. "No, stop it!"

However, he reacted differently than we expected.
