Chapter 492: 8
The entire structed ended up being much smaller at the top than it was at the bottom. The top of the structure was four hundred feet across if you were to walk from one side all the way to the other. The glass dome above me covered most of it. While the bottom of the structure was nearly a mile across from one side to the other. Dragons only had access to the stairwell at the center of the structure through the ground floor.
I didn't see that as much of a problem. Humans could escape or enter the mountain from near anywhere, but they weren't likely to be willing to cross through a dragon to enter the mountain. There was enough housing here to house all the dragons that would be born for a good number of years to come. The problem would be feeding the young drakelings. I fully intended to take it easy on hatching too many dragons for a good while to come.
I knew they had a big appetite from experience. If we couldn't raise enough meat to feed them then they would starve. I would rather not have any of the drakelings I worked so hard to hatch die so easily. A thought occurred to me. What if I could purify the mana of all the worlds?
The mana of other worlds was poisonous to me, and the mana of my world was poisonous to the people of other worlds. There were impurities sown into our very cores. Those impurities were then amplified by the origin species, and released into the world they lived on. The world again amplified the impurities, and made the world poison for all that weren't born on that world. If I was correct then hatchlings born around pure mana would have untainted cores.
There was a chance that the poison of the collective universe could be removed. Earth was the perfect test case. There were only three living dragons at the moment. The mana of this world was thin at best. If new hatchlings were born that were completely free of these extra unnecessary parts that were sown into the mana than there was a high possibility that this world could be home to any number of species without the need to kill or resurrect the world.
-I have the information you seek- My little memory spirit announced.
I curled up on the roof of my new hollow mountain, and moved into my inner world. It wasn't difficult to get to the hall of memories from there, and find the spirit I'd contracted. I hadn't named the little spirit yet. I would have to think on how to name her. I wasn't sure why I was so certain the spirit would choose to be female, but I was a hundred percent sure that she would.
"Show me what you found," I laid down on the stone floors of the memory hall.
"I've found several runes that may be useful for you to use," she padded along the stone floor like a happy cat.
She may be fox shaped but she didn't have a truthfully tangible physical form. The runes appeared on pieces of paper before me. These pieces of paper were mental images so even my talons could do no damage to them. There were four that she'd brought to me. There was a swirling shaped one that was apparently supposed to draw in energy.
It couldn't absorb the energy, but it could draw it in. There was one that was meant to dispel poisons. I didn't think that one would work either since it was more of a preventative measure for actual physical poisons. Then there was an absorption rune. I picked that one out as the one that was most likely to be of use to me right now.
"This took you a good long while," I tapped my talons on the stone.
"Your memories don't have much in the way of organization," she bounced in place, "Though it may take me some time I will be able to organize them eventually. The number of runes you currently know are few in number compared to the number of runes that actually exist."
"And you would know that how?" I asked as I looked down on her.
"I am a memory spirit," she bounced in place, "If there is more knowledge to be had than I know of it."
"So you know these runes?" Now I was genuinely curious.
"No," she shook her foxy little head, "I just know that the knowledge I do not possess exists. Call it an instinct."
"I know of the strength instinct can possess," I smirked, "I believe you. Have you taken your payment already?"
"No," she bounced in place, "I was completely entertained by the interesting life you have lived, and the knowledge this system has granted you. If you are satisfied than I am glad to find suitable payment on my own should you allow it."
"Feel free," I shrugged as I made sure to bring the memories of these three runes to the front of my mind, "But before I go I would like to give you a proper name."
"I would be grateful for any name you are willing to grant me," she sat down with her tail wagging like a happy puppy.
"I will call you Vixen," I smiled down at her.
Her body rippled as it became more physical in nature. Fur that used to me more energy in nature became physical in nature. Her color darkened making her look almost a dark purple in color. Her ears were black tipped. Her paws were pure white, and so was the tip of her tail.
She was a majestic little creature. Some might even call her beautiful. I didn't exactly care for her appearance. My muscles relaxed as I returned to my body. I glided down the side of the hollow mountain, and landed next to Bryce's forge.
