章 45: Intermission: Everest's past and hidden identity
Time rewind back with Masaru spending a day together with Everest on their time off, today was the day Everest took the courage to share a secret with Masaru although it might not be important for the devils but towards the Heaven who can turn their enemy at any given moment, it was a secret that could get her targeted as the Heavens fear the idea of every single dragon rallied under one banner which happened once before.
"You called me here, what's wrong Everest?"
Masaru spoke softly while gently caressing the back of Everest, this pure girl sometimes becomes clumsy but he still feels proud she joined his peerage as she truly held amazing potential, Everest took a deep breath.
"I wish to tell you about my past... It may be insignificant but father told me to never reveal it to anyone but someone I can trust my back with..."
Masaru kept silent while listening seriously to Everest, he already heard about Stephani's past which was truly tragic but then again he too needs to know more about Everest.
"My mother, is the sister of Ddraig Y Goch"
Hearing this Masaru was shocked, isn't that the dragon sealed in the Longinus called Boosted Gear?
'This!? is quite a shocker'
"This goes way before Uncle Ddraig gotten himself killed like an idiot, back then Father was on a journey searching for Dragon Fruits in hopes to save the dragon community that was slowly declining due to the fact the humans took over the Human World, and the supernaturals did not want any of other supernaturals to show themselves to the mortals so even the Dragons were forced to leave but where they could go was something father had a real hard time to deal with"
Tanning, the Dragon King. Was travelling to do something he believed a Dragon King should do for his kind, unlike the other dragons who had their own interest and did not care for others, he deeply cared for Dragons and if it were to just go extinct.
What would the future say about the dragons?
Would they still appear Mighty and feared?
Or would they record how they were cowards just living each day closer to death?
So Tannin went around many places searching for food and it was on this journey he met the sister of Ddraig, Everest Y Goch. Yes, Tannin gave his daughter his dead wife's name in order to uphold her honour and proof she lived.
When they met they fell in love, Everest loved Tannin who cared for his kind more than others and she who was labelled as the Saint of the Dragon God was kinder than any dragon, Everest was part of a group of dragons who worshipped the two dragon gods like how humans worshipped the God of the bible.
Each time a Saint dies a new one is elected to take the place however there was only one requirement of the saint which is not easy to fulfil, it's pure kindness, so pure that almost nothing could invoke any other emotions like envy, lust, anger... It was like a baby filled with an innocence that was pure and held no impurity of the worldly desires at all.
The village did not prevent the two from marrying since Tannin wants to save his kind they welcomed him as a hero of dragons, things were becoming better till Tannin met with Mephisto whom he shared his view with.
It was a long talk before Mephisto agreed to make Tannin his queen and have all the dragons live in the area where the Dragon Fruit grows profusely in his territory, things were going up for the dragons almost like they have woken up from a nightmare.
Everest was close friends with Tiamat for a very long time, this cold dragon would always complain to Everest about Ddraig who took her treasures from her but never paying her back but Everest calmly listened to her complaints and even said she would pay it back to which Tiamat declined to say the sister should not pay for the brother's mistake.
Tiamat enjoyed talking with Everest, she could complain every time and Everest would not ignore her nor denounce her but instead listened to her seriously.
That was why Tannin could see Tiamat visit regularly while he was building villages and towns for his kind to live him, even Tiamat would at times pitch in help because Everest asked her to. Tannin however, did not dare ask Tiamat, but he was surprised how this cold dragon would actually be so kind to his wife.
But then again Everest's kind personality made it quite easy for people who want to gather around her and protect her. Thanks to the extra help the progress was going faster and faster till the news of another war between the three races broke out, Tannin had to leave his lands to attend this battle as Mephisto's Queen.
It could be said that this war was one of the most tragic wars Tannin ever attended, the original Satans did not even flinch when millions of their kinds died and called it the low levels their honour to die for them the Satans.
Tannin was angry at this display making him wonder if he could really entrust his kind to live in these lands under those men, but Mephisto reassured him that all will be well. But suddenly two old acquaintances appeared in the middle of the battlefield they were fighting taking every race's army down due to the aftershock of their battles.
It was the two heavenly dragons, The Red Dragon Emperor Ddraig Y Goch and the White Dragon Emperor Albion Gwiber.
Under the pressure of the two dragons, the three races formed a temporary truce to take on the two dragons and it cost the lives of many Satans and the God of the bible to kill them and seal them into what is called Sacred Gears, the Longinus class.
Everest who just became a mother a few days after was gently caressing her dragon egg till she heard her brother was killed was shaken for the first time, because of her purity emotions the moment she first experienced true rage like an inverse scale of a dragon was touched, she could not control it since she did not know of it.
Lost in her rage, her influence over the surrounding dragons caused them to get lost in their rage and they attacked the heavens first, some even went to the Devil countries slaying many innocents along their path because they could feel the pain of their saint who lost her only blood-related family.
Tannin who heard of this moved to stop the dragons from Rampages in the Devil Country, thanks to Mephisto they could stop them on time sending them back home with great difficulty, but soon news of his wife was killed in the hands of Heaven reached his ears.
If it was not for the fact he made a promise to his wife to always look after the dragons he would have gone to attack them. But something more important stopped him, he who was gone for so long after the war saw Everest's last memento she left him. That was the current Everest.
Dragons don't show signs of pregnancy like humans do, the moment the Egg is out will they know they were pregnant and the duration it takes for the egg to come out takes easily between 3 - 7 years depending on each dragon.
It was at that day Tannin locked his anger in his heart embracing the dragon egg gently because the heavens fear the existence called Dragon Saint it was on a regular interval that Tannin would spot angels coming quite daringly close to the devil territory before leaving.
But the news of Everest's child still reached the people who once worshipped Everest, they started to call out for her to be named as a Saint but Tannin defied them all saying this daughter was the daughter of Tiamat, naturally, Tiamat heard of this as well.
And the fact she did not attack Heaven herself was also attributed because of the Dragon Egg so she began staying almost permanently near the egg watching over it, it was the last blood of her dearest friend and she swore she would protect this child even if the Dragon Gods come for her.
The villagers began to protest till Tannin killed the antagonist who pushed the dragons to protest in front of everyone, seeing how serious their once hero was they all shudder thinking if they push too far they would lose their only home, where would they go then?
So they simply chose to forget about this and carried on with their lives for the sake of their survival. It was thanks to this that Heaven stopped sending angels to monitor the dragons from a distance.
So Tannin made sure after talking with Tiamat that whatever gender the child may be, he or she will never be named a Saint. It was only a decade she hatched though, which was why she is precious to Tiamat as the Dragon King was really worried it took her so long to come out.
"That's why my existence is known to everyone, but I can't take the mantle my mother once held... Because the moment I do, I will become a target to eliminate because the people fear when Dragons gather in one army."
Everest spoke while looking at the skies, Masaru gently caresses her hair allowing this dragon girl to feel peaceful resting her head on his shoulder.
"You don't have to worry about anything, I will not allow you to get hurt. I will somehow get some information about the killer of your mother and bring him down"
"You should not. We can't have another war"
Hearing Everest earnest plea Masaru sighed looking into the skies, killing high-rank people lead to war even if their scums.
Just how unreasonable is the world?
It's difficult...
