Chapter 54 Black Flame, 2 Years Later
At this moment, Prescott's heart was filled with joy! She released a fireball of red flame, allowing the two cubs to rest within. The two Elemental Dragon cubs felt peaceful and comfortable within the heat of the scorching flame to the point that they bounced with joy.
"Sade, I have to admit that you have successfully mastered the Draconian Language Magic, and I lost my bet." Prescott acknowledged Sade's success. When Prescott said this, Sade felt that he was conflicted, but in the end, Prescott still admitted her defeat.
"Alright, you're free to go visit the human world but I'll only allow you to stay there for a few years. As you know, you are too young now, and even if you have mastered Draconian Language Magic..." Prescott said.
After saying these words, Prescott fell into silence and looked straight at Sade. As Sade faced Prescott's silence and an expecting look in her eyes, Sade knew that Prescott was waiting for his answer. He also knew that if he insisted on going to the human world instantly, Prescott might directly put him on probation because she was concerned for his safety. Sade knew that he would only be free to go if he met Prescott's terms. Therefore, Sade did not continue pressing that matter, instead, he replied to Prescott carefully.
"Alright, I will wait for me to grow to the right size and height before I head to the human world, and I also hope that you won't underestimate me in the future because I can be very strong, Mother," Sade's words gave the impression that he was a very proud child of his mother. This made Prescott, who was initially nervous, feel a sense of peace and happiness within her heart.
"Wow! Sade, you finally called me "Mother". I'm so glad! Come on, call me Mother again. I love hearing that word." Prescott said gleefully.
"No!" Sade suddenly refused.
"Why? What's wrong with calling me your Mother again? I'm your mom." Prescott pressed further.
"No!" The answer remained the same for Sade.
"Huh, what a shame."
As Sade looked at Prescott, she did not look like the prideful Ancient Dragon anymore but instead looked like a mischievous child. Sade felt extremely embarrassed by his mother's playfulness. 'Oh my god, why was I born to be her son?' Sade thought to himself. For the first time, Sade had a doubt in his heart about whether was he lucky to have the bloodline of a dragon.
...
Time passed day by day. In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed since the day that Sade gave lives to the Elemental Dragon cubs. Prescott did not come to visit Sade, but from what the Green Jade Python told him, Prescott was busy raising the two Elemental Dragon cubs in the central volcano. Prescott thought that the central volcano was the most suitable environment to raise the cub.
During this period, Sade lived a very fulfilling life. Every day, he practiced his 'fire manipulation' ability that was sublimated by the fire spell from the Draconian language. Besides, he also continuously studied the fire magic that Prescott had taught him to further advance his Draconian language. Sometimes, he also explored the inherited stone that stored the Secret Language Magic. Days after days, with learning and exploration, Sade finally had a better understanding of his fire manipulation ability.
Sade had learned that his fire manipulation ability was much stronger. Apart from the personal attributes that the dragon bloodline that he had from his birth, the flame that Sade could conjure now was able to completely overwhelm Prescott's earth-shattering dragon breath! Moreover, the power of his red flame had been exponentially increased. If it wasn't for his red flame's ability to distinguish between enemies and allies under his subjective consciousness, Sade wouldn't have dared to casually utilize his fire ability. He was deeply afraid that he would miss and instantly set the entire Great Basin ablaze! Sade had no idea what his fire manipulation ability would become two years after.
Next was his ability to create Elemental Dragons. After Prescott had taken custody of the two original Elemental Dragon cubs, Sade once again began creating more. This time, Sade extracted and used up almost all of the dragon energy from his body. It had caused Sade to instantly collapse, he slept in his treehouse for three full nights before he recovered.
Fortunately, Sade was fine and had suffered no long-term effect, or else the Green Jade Python would have sought Prescott for help. Of course, the reward from his suffering was worth it, the Elemental Dragon that Sade created underwent a big change. The originally red flame form of the dragon cub turned pitch-black. Dragons that he had conjured previously were only baby dragon cubs, but this time, this dragon passed through several growth stages and came out as an adolescent dragon cub immediately. Even Sade was shocked by this revelation. He wanted Prescott to adopt the Black Elemental Dragon but as he was thinking, the dragon cub turned itself into a ray of black light and immediately hid inside Sade's body. What happened had completely caught him off guard.
Since that day, the Black Elemental Dragon cub had settled inside Sade's body. Usually, whenever Sade was calling for it, the cub would immediately appear obediently. However, if Sade was to mention that he would send the cub to live with Prescott, it would instantly enter Sade's body. No matter how hard he tried calling for the cub, Sade would be ignored until the next day before it made its appearance again. Thus, the Black Elemental Dragon was to stay with Sade indefinitely. Sade had named it "Black Flame", which was an extremely fitting name.
Just like that, days have passed like minutes. Fast-forwarded to two years later, the Great Basin was still as quiet and peaceful as usual. As for the human world, in the Kingdom of Herlock, it had gone through a few waves of planned attacks from the Magical Beasts a few years back. After that, the place had long been heavily guarded. To resist the onslaught from the Magical Beasts which had caused great damage to the human world, the Magic Empire had sent a powerful Fire Magister and five hundred soldiers to ensure its safety apart from the common soldiers that were already residing in the kingdom.
...
Two years later, something magical happened. Princess Philomena, the first Princess of Kingdom of Herlock, who had been kidnapped by the Giant Dragon, miraculously returned alive. Not only did she return to her kingdom but she had become a Fire Magister and she also wielded the most powerful fire spells. The news instantly spread throughout the Kingdom of Herlock, directly lifting its status over other kingdoms— a Princess who was a Fire Magister and a powerful one too!
Philomena was only seventeen years old at the time that she became a Magister, which was known for their strength and abilities, as well as their prowess on the battlefield. It could be said that there was a bigger world that was waiting for her to explore, no one knew where she would be or who she would end up becoming.
Another two years had gone by and Philomena just turned nineteen. Her strength became stronger and reached the Grand Magister level. Late at night, Philomena, who had just walked out of the palace of the Kingdom of Herlock, had an unsightly expression on her face. She was unhappy but even if she was in a bad mood, she tried to hide it. Philomena walked from the palace and visited a nearby riverside.
"Lady Prescott and Young Master Sade, I have missed you so much…" Philomena quietly mumbled to herself as she looked up to the moon, memories of them flashing through her eyes.
"You're here again." A mysterious voice was heard.
