Chapter 295. Solaris I
Dragon King's Harem Chapter 295. Solaris I
Stepping through the portal was like entering a whole new world. One second, I was in the pristine room of the Healer tribe’s palace; the next, I was in an endless field of vibrant flowers, stretching as far as I could see. The room was gone, replaced by an open paradise bathed in the golden glow of two radiant suns—not the usual twin red ones, but warm, golden suns that felt almost alive.
The air was perfect—warm like a summer day but not stifling, and the breeze? It carried the sweet scent of blooming flowers, refreshing and peaceful. If I wasn’t here on a mission, I could’ve flopped onto the grass, closed my eyes, and let the rustling leaves lull me to sleep.
“I just need to find it,” I muttered, my voice barely audible over the soft hum of nature around me. My eyes scanned the open field, looking for some kind of sign, anything that would lead me to Solaris.
In the distance, I noticed an altar—simple but unmistakably significant. It stood tall, a lone structure amidst the sea of flowers. Still, I knew that wasn’t my destination.
I spread my wings, and with a strong push, I took to the sky. The wind whipped past me as I soared higher, the golden sunlight warming my skin. Flying always filled me with a rush of exhilaration, and here, surrounded by this surreal beauty, it felt almost magical.
Hovering mid-air, I took in the breathtaking view. The vibrant flowers below, the gentle streams glimmering in the sunlight, and the hills rolling in the distance—it was a painter’s dream, all in perfect harmony.
Then, just as I was about to continue my search, I heard it. A voice, soft yet powerful, like the melody of an otherworldly harp, echoed through the air.
“Are you looking for me, Dragon King?”
The words stopped me cold. It wasn’t just the voice—it was the way it carried, like it was part of the very fabric of this place. I’d expected Solaris to be in some kind of deep slumber, unaware of my arrival. Turns out, I was way off.
“Yes, where are you?” I called out, my voice cutting through the serene stillness. My eyes darted around, trying to pinpoint the source.
That’s when I saw it—a rainbow. Not an average after-the-storm rainbow, but something ethereal, like it had been painted across the sky by a celestial hand. The colors shimmered, blending seamlessly with the clear blue sky. It was stunning, and I knew immediately it was no coincidence.
The rainbow wasn’t just a pretty display; it was a sign. An invitation, almost, guiding me toward Solaris.
Fueled by a sense of purpose, I flew toward it, the wind rushing past me as the rainbow’s colors seemed to grow brighter. The harp’s melody became clearer with every beat of my wings, pulling me closer.
And then I saw her.
Sitting by the edge of a calm river was a woman—a female elf, to be precise. Her silver hair flowed like liquid moonlight, and her eyes were covered by a soft cloth. But what really caught my attention were her wings—massive, golden, and magnificent, like those of a mythical bird.
For a moment, I just hovered there, stunned by the sight of her. This wasn’t just anyone. This was Solaris.
I descended slowly, landing a short distance away. As my feet touched the soft grass, the harp’s melody faded, replaced by the gentle murmur of the river.
She turned toward me, even though her eyes were hidden, as if she could sense my presence.
“Solaris,” I said, bowing my head slightly out of respect. “I didn’t know you could take a humanoid form.”
She tilted her head slightly, her expression serene. “I do,” she replied, her voice as soft and melodic as the harp she had just been playing. “This form makes it easier to interact with those who seek me.”
“Fair enough,” I said, settling onto a mossy rock near the riverbank. “So, what do I need to do to get you back?”
Her fingers brushed the strings of the harp beside her, and the music started again, softer this time, as if she was thinking.
“I want to test your wisdom,” she said finally, her words flowing like a gentle stream. “I need to see if you’re still worthy of forming a contract with me.”
I nodded. “Ask your questions, Solaris,” I said firmly. “I’ll do my best to answer.”
“Very well,” she said, her voice carrying the weight of the moment. “Let us begin.”
