Chapter 9: The Dragon of Albion

While everyone was full of ambition, finding unknown locations in this desolate paradise required overcoming complex difficulties, including understanding the differences in physical laws, which would take considerable time. However, every journey begins with a single step.

“Jeanne, please sense the dragon kind’s aura you found earlier again.” At Adam’s request, the girl, as always, looked impatient but made no delay in complying. Soon, her brow furrowed, and her expression grew grim.

“How could this be? It hasn’t been long… it’s gone… no… it moved… right above us.” As if to confirm her words, the dinosaurs began to howl anxiously at the sky, and groups of fireflies descended and hid around the tree trunks.

In the dimness, a hurricane blew. The dense canopy was parted like a lawn by a gigantic claw, revealing a head far more ferocious and massive than any known dinosaur or creature, its eyes gleaming strangely, eventually focusing on Adam.

Beside him, Jeanne drew her sword instinctively to protect him, while Francis manifested a musket made of surrounding magical energy without hesitation. Zephyr, one of the few Eden people still able to act, bravely mounted his nearby companion pterosaur, ready to ascend and confront the threat with primitive weapons.

Until Adam signaled them to stand down. If the entity had been hostile, they would have had no chance to resist. The gap in combat strength was simply too vast.

The director, assessing the situation calmly, stepped forward, first glancing at the Eden people who reacted differently: the Triceratops Clan gathered together as if to bolster their courage, while the Tyrannosaurus Clan steadied themselves and found their tyrannosaur companions.

Then Adam looked up at the beast and called out, “We wish to live on this planet as beings, humans, Eden people. Ancient predecessor, may we know your purpose?”

The creature’s response was a slight opening of its mouth, exhaling a breath that nearly blew away all standing beings. Realizing the inconvenience, the giant carefully and slowly touched the ground in front of Adam with the tip of its left claw. As the dust settled, a petite white-haired girl appeared, her body wrapped in what seemed like pure white scale-like clothing, her amber eyes resembling dragon eyes—indeed they were.

“This form is more suitable for communicating with you,” she spoke with an indifferent tone laced with a higher level of benevolence. “You say you want to live, but from my perspective, your species’ ability to survive is quite inferior. Your fragility makes it hard for me to imagine you’ve lasted thousands of years.”

“It happened, didn’t it? It’s not luck, but a talent different from other species that now inhabit this planet. I suppose you’ve never encountered beings you could communicate with like this before.”

Facing an entity that could easily annihilate him, Adam appeared even more composed than usual, speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly. His words even made Jeanne d’Arc Alter nervous for him.

“As evidence, you probably haven’t had an individual name to be distinguished and recognized by until now. If you accept, then I’ll name your true form the Dragon of Albion and this avatar Melusine. And my ‘name’ is Adam.”

The giant beast above responded with a roar towards the moonlit sky, shaking the entire forest and even the continent. At that moment, Drake was prepared to summon the Golden Hind, join forces with Jeanne d’Arc Alter and any Eden people still able to act for a covering attack, and then immediately escape with her employer.

But the situation did not worsen. “I must admit, you’re right. Called Adam… yes, that’s how you pronounce it. Dragon of Albion, Melusine, I accept the ‘names’ you’ve given me. I’ve grown weary of encountering lives that either flee in panic or foolishly challenge me despite the gap. Your reactions are refreshing.”

Melusine, in her human-like form, seemed pleased with Adam’s response. “It’s fortunate to meet you before I hibernate. I hope when I awaken next time, you’ll still exist on this planet, so I can rest assured staying with you.”

She worried humans were just a fleeting existence. To the Dragon of Albion, humans were too fragile, making her fear that forming bonds would only add to her sorrow, as an unforeseen event might lead to their extinction.

“We’ll do our best. But as you see, our talent lies not in physical strength but in the wisdom to utilize power. Therefore, I wish to borrow your strength.”

“Even a slight flap of my wings would blow you away with the resulting airflow. I can’t stay by your side to protect you.”

“Of course, I understand. I have two requests.” Adam took a deep breath and stated his requests.

“I want to find a refuge to avoid the disaster caused by a giant ‘stone’ falling from the sky, and I want to learn how to use the planet’s life force (magic).”

Melusine fell silent as if pondering, and an unusual quiet surrounded them. After about ten minutes, she spoke again.

“…I can only give you a chance; the rest is up to you. You said your talent is wisdom, so let me see it.”

The Dragon of Albion lifted its left claw, behind Melusine, creating airflow with its massive size and strength, and steadily stopped in front of Adam’s forehead, then lightly touched it.

Adam was experiencing something indescribable. For the Dragon of Albion, using magic was as natural as breathing, without systematic knowledge to share, so it could only transmit its sensations, leaving Adam to grasp as much as he could.

As for the refuge, it was located in the distant east, at the heart of the Cretaceous continental plate, a natural “passage” that led to a different space-time, similar to Avalon. Though it might not last forever, it could indeed provide shelter from the impending extinction event.

If the Eden people could traverse mountains and seas to reach it, and if Adam could find a way to open it.
