Chapter 194: Myrel (III)
"Everyone knows that the white dragon has returned, the dragon maiden," Olvio spoke with a grin. He looked around the large crowd that was continuing to form around me. " The Dragon Maiden has returned!" he roared, shaking the very ground and the buildings.
Suddenly, a wild cheer erupted.
I felt a sudden chill that made me shiver up and down my spine.
"Dragon Maiden! Dragon Maiden!"
The ground rumbled.
"We will not falter!" Olivio spoke with vigor. The glamour of his scales glitters even brighter underneath the sun, giving him a holier feel.
Even I couldn't be awed at my father. There was a powerful draw about him that could not be easily obtained. Nobody took a step towards him and instead gave him space.
On the other hand, the crowd surged forward. The crowds reached out to touch me.
I hesitantly stepped backward but stopped. I couldn't get out from the sudden surge of the crowd.
"What-?" I raised my hand. I almost squashed a little girl that I finally froze.
In seconds, I could feel hundreds of hands touching my arm, legs, sides, and even my neck. Some of the children looked up at me with wide eyes as they glimmered with excitement.
I couldn't help but lower my head downwards towards them. The group of children squealed, raising their hands over their heads. Eventually, my head rested not too far away from them, allowing them to touch my face continuously.
"It's so smooth!" One of the girls shouted with glee. "It's like looking at snow."
"Snow? What's that?" One of the younger boys asked quizzically.
"It's white like the dragon maiden."
"Ohhhhh, so it's snowing." The boy excitedly gazed. He rocked back and forth with his hand behind his back.
"No, they are like white powder falling from the sky and landing on the ground, covering it completely."
The boy tilted his head, still not understanding what she was implying.
"Forget it; maybe one day, you'll see it."
Disappointed that the girl didn't say anything, I could tell he wanted to know.
Without a second thought, I started to summon up magic around me.
People started to push back, completely confused by the sudden air change.
My chest started to glow blue; I could feel the air around me become dense with magic.
"Berry?" Olivio asked, confused about what I was doing.
With a powerful bark of energy, it slipped out of my mouth and straight into the sky. It left a large circle in the clouds.
The boy looked up, wondering what I was doing.
It didn't take long for the sky to start filling with white cold snow.
"What?" The girl asked, appalled at what she was seeing. She reached up to her hand as a snowflake landed on her. It didn't take long for the snowflake to disappear into the water. "It's snowing." She gasped.
The other children looked at me and back upward, reaching out to catch a snowflake of their
own. When they caught one, they couldn't believe their eyes.
"It's true; it's snowing."
"Snow!"
"It's a miracle!" The crowd yelled, cheering once again.
The little boy reached up, catching a snowflake in his hand. When he opened his hand, he was surprised at the small snowflake that melted away. He then looked towards me with a big goofy smile, "snow!"
I smirked, nodding.
It didn't take long for the children to run around in excitement, trying to catch the snow in the air.
The miracle lasted for another ten minutes before it started to fade away, turning into light rain and clearing away for the sun to break through again.
Olivia gazed at me funny, but he shook his head in understanding and didn't say anything further. Instead, he turned around and started to head towards the north side, away from the port.
I followed behind as the crowd moved out of our way, allowing me to pass through. But, unfortunately, they still followed close behind, gawking or gazing with admiration.
Slowly, but over time, I started to ignore them. Instead, I took this time to study the architecture that this city was built upon.
The streets were clean, making me wonder what their sewer system was like, especially because most of the cities I have seen or known didn't have quite a good system, giving it a nasty smell the deeper I went into the city. But here, it wasn't like that at all.
The shapes of the architecture reminded me close to the Earth's European historic structure with a hint of ancient writings that decorated the very wall with scripts I wasn't sure about. They glowed faintly with blue, telling me that there was magically embedded in them.
"Those ruins are our ancient language embedded with old magic," Olivio spoke. He didn't even seem to look at me to know what I was trying to figure out.
"I thought this place was more newish."
"Yes."
"Then how?"
"I have personally embedded them into the walls."
"You did?" I was shocked to hear that from him.
"Yes, it took me quite a bit of time to get it set, but I think it's worth the effort for my people."
I was impressed. It would have taken him a large amount of time, especially the amount of magic needed to put into it.
"Do you still do the new buildings?"
"Of course. Nobody but me could do it."
"Oh."
We continued to walk until we came upon a large building that reminded me of a roman worship room.
Upon arrival, Olivo shifted into his human form on landing.
I followed behind, shifting in midair as my feet touched the very ground.
"You're home?"
"Get yourself comfortable. I'll have a room ready for you. After that, we should have all the others arriving for the next three days."
The maids and butlers seemed to appear out of thin air like a ghost. They came over, taking any extra accessories, jacket, or handing out hot towels to wipe our hands or face.
I took one to quickly wipe my face and hands and gave it back to them.
"Young mistress, my name is Joshua." one of the butlers, who was a lot taller than me, spoke up with a gentle bow. There was similar elegance about them, just like Coco, Tart, and Moca, an unnatural air around them.
"They are similar to yours," Olivio spoke. But, unfortunately, he didn't even turn around to answer the question stuck in my head.
"They are?"
"Yes, all maids and butlers from the Divine dragon race have a natural talent for changing powerful monsters to serve under them. All of mine are as powerful as yours." Olivio assured me.
"That is quite impressive." I couldn't help but smile at the similarities that we had.
"Wash up; I'll see you for dinner." Olivo left, leaving me behind with the butler who talked with me.
"This way, young mistress." Butler Josuha spoke up. He waved his hand in front, asking me to follow.
I quietly trudged behind as I was directed toward my room.
