The First Dragon God-Chapter 126: Answers, More Questions [Golden Tickets Bonus Chapter]
To explain Leo’s situation to him, Tatiana started by telling him about the the feud between the dragon race and the gods. And she explained how it started.
After that, she told him everything she knew about his father, Astragar, the third dragon prince. And everything she has read about the dragon race royal family from the books in the Palace library.
"So, what you’re telling me right now is that my dad is someone who is favoured by a Primordial goddess, who is a member of the Multiverse ruling Council?" Leo asked in confirmation.
"Yes," Tatiana said, nodding.
"I see... Then, what about my mother?" Leo asked.
He was trying to wrap his head around what Tatiana just said about his father, and the feud between his father’s race and his father’s race.
But he was more interested in his mother, who is caretaker goddess of the world tree. Of course, this doesn’t mean that he isn’t interested in his father.
Heck, he’s interested in the both of them. Growing up, Leo had watched movies about dragon and gods. He has also read books about them and even some of them featured the world tree, Yggdrasill. So, one can understand his increased curiosity towards his mother.
Tatiana sighed when she heard Leo asking about his mother. The truth is that apart from the gods and the Council, not many among the mortal races of the Multiverse knows much about the world tree, Yggdrasill, and everything about it. This is especially so for her caretaker goddess, Leo’s mother, Elunara.
If Leo wants to know more about his mother and the world tree, then he would have to meet the royals of the Elf race, or the leading members of the ruling clans of the Dwarf race, as both races share the same mortal realm.
Seeing that she had nothing much to tell him, Tatiana decided to tell Leo the little she knows.
"Leo, there’s not much information recorded about the world tree or you mother. I had no idea she even existed until today. Everything about the world tree has always been kept under lock and wrap by the Elf race. If you want any information on your mother or the world tree, you will have to meet someone from the Elf race royal family," Tatiana explained.
"I see... There are two of them here, participating in the tournament. I will meet up with them later and ask them," Leo said, nodding to himself.
"I will advise against that, Leo," Tatiana said, with a solemn voice.
"Why? I want to know more about my mother. If the two Elf princesses are the ones that can give me the information I need, why shouldn’t I meet them?" Leo asked curiously.
He wasn’t offended by what Tatiana said. He knew that she probably has a reason for it but he was still curious to know why she doesn’t want him to meet the Elf princesses.
"You can’t meet up with the Elf princesses. At least not now. Just like the Dragon race, the Elf race is also a proud one. And just like the Dragon race, it isn’t just about their race alone. They are very proud about their bloodlines, its purity and their connection to the world tree.
They have done everything within their power to make sure that nothing taints the world tree, and they will continue to do so. They are not the only one as this is the same for the Feys," Tatiana said, and continued.
"To summarise everything, the Elf race worships the world tree and your mother being its caretaker goddess, is like a holy temple priestess to them.
I once heard a story that there was once a half-blood born between an Elf noble and a Beastkin. The Elf court didn’t just reject him. They burned an entire forest to ’cleanse the stain.’
So, imagine what their reaction would be when they discover that their holy priestess had a child with a dragon. To them, your mixed bloodlines is like an aberration. And they don’t take too lightly to aberrations. This is the same for the Dragon race," she explained.
Leo sighed when he heard what Tatiana said. He had no idea that things in the Multiverse were this complicated. But it’s understandable.
In a universe filled with entities that were previously things of myth and fantasy, and with them wielding unimaginable power, it’s understandable that things are definitely bound to be complicated.
He sighed once more and looked at Tatiana, who was seated beside him.
As it stands right now, she’s the only Off-worlder he can trust right now. Even before the complications of his identity, she has always seen something special in him.
Leo kept thinking about how complicated his identity is and one particular question kept bothering him: how is he human?
This content is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.
His father is a Dragon prince and according to what Tatiana said about the Dragon race taking pride in the purity of their bloodline, there’s no way that his father is a half dragon.
As for his mother, she literally called a goddess and one linked with the world tree. So, it’s impossible that the human side of him came from her.
If that is so, then where did it come from? How is he part human?
He knew that he won’t be able to get the answer, if he keeps asking himself the question. He would only be tormenting himself.
With that realisation, he decided to ask Tatiana. Though he had very little hope that she would have the answer to his question.
"Tatiana, do you know why I’m partly human?" He asked.
"I’m not sure but if my guess is correct, it’s from the world tree," Tatiana replied, and she saw a look on confusion on Leo’s face.
"Let me explain. I must remind you that I’m not sure if I’m entirely or even actually correct. But it’s recorded in the books in the Palace library, that the world tree has everything about every mortal races in the universe. Everything about them, from how and when they were created, and their bloodline too.
If my guess is correct, I think your mother was able to extract a human bloodline from the world tree and infuse into you when you were born. The reason for that? So that you can be able to live on Earth without worries of being expelled," Tatiana explained.
She thought that she has explained everything but she saw that Leo was still confused, and even more than before.
"Ughhh... To explain the last part, before Earth’s awakening, Earth was sealed off to all of the Multiverse. No one can go in or out."
Hearing what Tatiana said, Leo laughed mischievously.
"Hehehe. I was just teasing you. Though, thanks for explaining the last part. But I must say that your theory about the human part of me makes sense in a way."
"If what you said about about the world tree having the information on every mortal races in the Multiverse is correct, then I feel that this is the most likely source of my human bloodline. What does it mean for me? If I’m the son of beings this powerful… what kind of future is waiting for me?..." Leo thought to himself, out loud.
"I guess that’s something you will have to figure out on your own, Dragon God," Tatiana said, with a teasing smile.
