Part 2, Chapter 61 (254)
We were almost there now.
Honestly, my arms and legs felt numb, and anxiety made it difficult to breathe properly.
I stared at Rasifer, obscured within the light and invisible to my clouded eyes, and gritted my teeth while embracing Pir.
Thump, thump, thump, thump.
The egg, beating so rapidly it seemed ready to hatch at any moment, calmed my restless heart.
“Pir, my friend is waiting below. When you awaken, you’ll be able to bring them here. Dragons are truly, truly magnificent, after all.”
When Pir grows, they’ll become like that enormous dragon I saw earlier, won’t they?
I won’t be alive by then, but at least I can make their hatchling days happy.
I continued stroking the egg endlessly, murmuring softly.
“I never knew what fear was before. Maybe it’s because I had nothing to lose.”
Or perhaps it was because I didn’t understand emotions well.
Since entering this tower, I had been discovering countless new emotions.
Pink and blue. My colors.
Magenta and deep navy. My family’s colors.
That was the primary range I recognized.
Gold and white. Rasifer’s colors.
Black and green. Blake’s colors.
Red and crimson. Maximilian’s colors….
That was the secondary range I recognized.
I was so comfortable within the people I loved that I never needed to know heartache.
But I’ve only now learned that such comfort meant I could never grow.
I only began to deepen after entering this tower.
Then it happened.
Crackle, crackle-crackle.
A pleasant sound like thin potato chips breaking echoed from somewhere, and the egg tilted.
Startled, I looked down at my arms—
“The egg has cracked?!”
Crack, crack-crack.
At my cry, Pir broke through the shell even more eagerly.
“Ah, even the sound is so adorable.”
A moment later.
Pop!
With a genuine pop! a tail burst through.
The tail, piercing through the eggshell, swayed side to side, and as I watched, an arm suddenly shot out from the right side as well.
“…!!”
This wasn’t the time to think something was cute.
Just as I covered my mouth and took a deep breath, Pir struggled and thrashed, then with a crack! pushed off the upper shell.
More precisely, they hatched while wearing it like a hat.
“Chirp?”
“Pir…!”
“Kyuaaah!”
Whoosh!
A tiny beam of light—utterly unlike the Opal Dragon’s breath from moments before—shot toward me.
‘What do I do? It’s not threatening at all.’
A pleasant warmth flowed through my entire body.
Suddenly invigorated, I felt as though I could accomplish anything.
Pir’s eyes gazing at me were round and tender.
Strong curiosity shone within them, yet gentle and kind.
I knew I would love this child even before Pir was born, but the moment our eyes met, my heart was utterly stolen away.
“Such tiny wings, such tiny claws. So this is how small and adorable a hatchling truly is.”
Every scale gleamed, covered entirely in opal.
Even beneath the Tower’s artificial light, it shimmered so brilliantly—under true sunlight, anyone would be dazzled beyond measure.
I carefully extended my finger toward Pir, allowing it to sniff and explore.
“Hello, Pir. I am Superti Fasayen.”
“Kyua!”
As if recognizing me, Pir beamed with joy, then spiraled upward with vigor and perched upon my shoulder.
“Brilliant! Our Pir is surely a genius. Already knowing how to fly!”
“Kyu!”
Puffing out its chest proudly, Pir then turned its head toward Rasifer.
Even with my ignorance of magic, I understood that a Dragon Heart was not something easily absorbed.
‘It will take time.’
It had to be all right.
I waited for Rasifer with anxious anticipation.
Pir’s eyes darted between us, then suddenly it took flight again—its wingbeats clumsy yet endearing.
“Kyuaaah!”
Crying out, Pir unleashed another feeble breath toward Rasifer.
Whether it helped or not, moments later Rasifer drew a deep breath and consumed all the light surrounding him.
“Ah, delicious.”
“Pel, are you all right?”
“I’m fine. Thanks to Pir’s help. What a remarkable creature.”
Rasifer stroked Pir’s head, then embraced me tightly.
As I gazed thoughtlessly into his jeweled eyes, I found myself utterly entranced.
“Pel, in your eyes….”
“Hmm?”
“Constellations? Planets…? Something drifts within them. It’s beautiful.”
I could lose myself entirely.
I gently traced his cheek before finally tearing my gaze away.
They say sparkling eyes are captivating—it’s truly so.
“Still, it was an unexpected gain. The Dragon Heart. I hadn’t even hoped for it.”
“It’s not something you just hand over, is it?”
“No. If the Dragon doesn’t grant permission, you can’t even covet it. The moment you touch it, your soul gets annihilated. I suppose I should thank my father for that.”
Rasifer chuckled softly, brushing back his hair.
Seeing the beads of cold sweat dotting his forehead, I realized digesting this power was taking a toll on him.
“The Opal Dragon doesn’t normally attack humans. Since the Opal Dragon’s power is life and healing, it doesn’t suit combat well anyway.”
“Yeah, that’s what I heard.”
“If a human pours out more vitality than they can handle, it becomes poison. If Pir hadn’t consumed it first, things would’ve gone badly. Knowing that, the Opal Dragon apologized. It even permitted me to consume the Dragon Heart.”
Pir chirped in agreement with a soft smile, letting out a cheerful cry.
“Still, one way or another, since Pir was born receiving the power of a mature Dragon, things turned out well in the end.”
When Rasifer clenched his fist, light crackled with a sharp snap.
Though it was surely mana, the aura felt strangely pure and serene.
‘So that’s the power of a Dragon.’
Soon, with our hands clasped tightly, we ran toward the distant door.
My heart trembled—whether from Rasifer’s presence or because the end of this journey was drawing near, I couldn’t say.
Once we leave, I’ll need to reflect carefully on this exhilaration, I thought.
“I know where this is. I saw it in the illusion.”
Upon reaching the 6th Floor, I immediately recognized my surroundings.
“It seems Mother intended for us to live here together for the rest of our lives.”
“That appears to be the case.”
The 6th Floor of the Tower of Paradise held no threats whatsoever.
Of course it didn’t.
With a Dragon stationed on the 5th Floor, no one would ever reach the 6th.
I breathed in deeply, savoring the scent of the gentle breeze drifting through the air.
I had worried that Diolrose might be trapped in something like crystal, but if she had been living here all along… that was almost a mercy.
I hoped her years here hadn’t been too painful.
“Let’s go.”
“Okay.”
Beyond the path lined with apple trees, an elegant house stood at the far end.
There were no obstacles or threats along the way.
Rasifer opened the door silently and thoroughly searched the interior first.
“I sense life responding from the upper floor.”
“Let’s go up right away.”
The interior layout wasn’t particularly complex.
Having already lived here in the illusion, I easily found the stairs.
“You know, Pel, it’s unsettling how identical this is to the illusion. The fact that my sister’s tastes… aren’t reflected here at all.”
I didn’t know if Diolrose actually liked things like this.
But to me, it felt like… Kaiser Laximon’s tastes.
‘This is all wrong.’
The other person’s tastes. The other person’s thoughts.
What the other person truly wanted.
What the other person likes doesn’t even cross my mind.
I arrange the house in what I consider the most ‘appropriate form’ and refuse to change a single thing about it.
Even though I’ve never truly loved anyone, I understand that’s wrong.
But why doesn’t Kaiser Laximan understand?
The more one clings like that, the more people slip away—and without people, there can be no love.
“I sense human presence coming from over there.”
“But that’s the Bedroom….”
