With Tus Nadair at the core, peace across the continent reigned even after the return of Tsa, and his creation of the Argland Council State. However, like with all good things, they must come to an end… The world had simply been at peace for far too long. And in the Great Mother Dragon's country, a whelp hatched, he was clearly far stronger than any his age, and looked at the others with confusion, disgust, and a desire for vengeance.
That damn whore. And all those ungrateful whelps of mine. How dare they kill me!!!!!! This was the young dragon, walking around as if he owned the place, it was as if he was trying to maintain the air of absolute power he once had. If I hadn't been so weakened by that spell, I surely would have one that fight- He paused, with a slight tremor in his soul. That final spell she used, it was far too powerful, I doubt I would have won the fight if I took it head on, even as powerful as I was at my peak. I was thoroughly killed long before that spell had finished. And now, my power over nature seems to have weakened considerably… Time to talk to my mate.
In a private room, a rather rare scene unfolded, where a powerful dragon actually took interest in the whelp that had come. It was almost as if she could see something… Or perhaps feel it, and so, her voice trembled slightly. "What is it, young one?"
"Cut it out, I'm the Emperor Dragon! I have returned! Reborn!" The whelp declared, then got serious. "Tell me everything that's happened since I've been gone."
Something deep within the Great Dragon Mother, stirred, and rose to the surface. I can finally get revenge on that bitch, my mate has finally resurrected. "It's about time you've returned. I've been sick of playing nice with that whore of a woman. Now, sit here and I'll start from the very beginning, my beloved mate."
…
It had taken quite some time to tell the whole tale of everything that's happened. However, there was one thing made abundantly clear, the reborn Emperor didn't like it at all. "How dare those lowly wretches dare to build cities for themselves! Such ARROGANCE!" He grew a little larger.
"I thought you'd act this way. I hate it just as much as you. However, I've been far too weak for too long. I've tried to use that same spell you used last time. 300 years ago or so, I was able to cast it, but all that happened was a mass slaughter of our children. And it ended up giving that whore a stronger position in the world. Now 60% of the world worship her as their goddess, 30% of the world respect her for all she's done, 9% have no opinion either way but are the types to be on the fence about everything, and then the rest are such a mix that it's impossible to explain all of their sub groups."
"That bitch for an elf really dared to kill me, and then claim my power for herself. Such a bitch. I'll kill her!"
"She's worshiped as a goddess, we can't act too rashly right now. Brightness, he's stronger than I am now, and then there's the ridiculous number of her children, all bearing his blood. And their children as well. We simply don't have nearly enough power to stand against them."
"I'll teach you how to recover your strength far more efficiently… Once we're done, use the spell again. Just the minimum power is needed."
…
Elsewhere in Tus Nadair, a little boy was born to a large family, their soul seemed to give off a familiar wave length. One that caused a certain woman to stir, she stood up, and took off, flying over to where the familiar feeling was coming from.
In this hospital room, her appearance caused quite the fuss. "My goddess! It's an honor you've blessed my family with your presence." The woman resting with a little boy and a girl in her arms, each suckling away as she smiled.
"I felt something coming from here, and came to check it out. Now that I've seen it for myself-" Night Silver smiled, speaking warmly as she approached the woman and gave her a kiss. "You've given birth to Undine's reincarnation." With teary eyes, she paused. "Thank you, my child." She trembled with emotion. I never thought the day would come, where I'd ever get to hold her again. But what's more, Undine got the wish she had wanted ever since that day…
The nursing woman's face lit up even more excited, feeling more blessed than she had before. "Our founding goddess, reborn as my child, to think I'd be so blessed!" She looked at her little girl, but then realized that Night Silver was intently looking at her son. "You mean…?" She got worried for a moment.
"There's no need to worry, I'd bet Undine is happy as she could possibly be right now. Long ago she had lost the ability to conceive children of her own, it ate her up inside in so many ways. She once made it clear to me that if she ever came back, she'd want to be born a boy, and then come find me all over again."
"Then-"
"Yes, I am prepared to give you whatever reward you desire. Anything."
"Then would it be too much to-" She paused, and looked at her husbands, her older sons, and then back to Night Silver.
"I'll include everything in your reward. I won't limit it to just what's in your mind. I'll make you feel good too." She smiled, and gave the nursing woman a few kisses. "You brought my lover back to this world, and even fulfilled her most latent heartfelt desire in the process. Nothing is off the table. No reward is too great for something like this."
It was truly a day to remember. One where all of Tus Nadair made arrangements to pray at Undine's statues, and even make their way to visit with the reborn goddess. Some authors began writing all about their new expectations, and theories about what the future holds. Mages learned that souls could reincarnate, and thus the ideas of people's lost loved ones may have been given another chance to live, and in this wonderful new paradise, it was a huge relief for everyone.
…
The good times had reached their peak…
