Chapter 50 - Chapter 52 (1/2)
Dragon and Shisui had gone from Sylvia's cafe directly towards the nearest beach. They were standing on top of a raft that was speeding across the ocean. Dragon was using his water magic and guided the small raft across the sea.
He could feel that they were closing in on Paradise island and he recognized the magical signatures of the island itself.
”seems Alora is still alive.” Dragon remembered the dragon that he had tamed when he found this island years ago. She was the one he assigned to be the guardian of his island. He could feel her life force through a magical bond they had.
There were a few other beasts on the island but they were simple cowards and rarely left their homes. This included the rest of the dragons that Alora ruled over.
The island finally came upon the horizon and both Dragon and Shisui could see it. With the changes that he did to it, it looked like a real paradise. Truly a place that people could only dream about.
”What do you think, Shisui?”
”The name fits. This looks like a true paradise. Did you make all of this?” Shisui said with some clear awe present in his voice. This was a little more then ninjutsu could do. The longer Shisui spent with Dragon, the more his eyes opened to what he thought was impossible.
”I found this island years ago and changed it completely. In the end, I spent multiple years working on it and the result of those years is what you see here today.” Dragon said and the raft came up on the beach and stopped moving.
Dragon and Shisui stepped off and took their first steps on the island. As soon as they started walking they sensed something big and powerful making it's way over to them. It was the guardian of the island.
”Relax Shisui. It's the island guardian. She works for me.” He saw how Shisui's body tensed up as Alora approached.
”She is a..?” Shisui's words trailed off because from beyond the cliff a huge body appeared and sped towards them. To him it looked like a giant lizard but much more majestic. The giant creature looked like something from a fairy tale.
”A dragon. Yes, she is. And before you ask, no I'm not a dragon myself. That's just a name.” He said and covered his face with his cloak. Alora created a mini sand storm as she landed on the beach in front of Dragon and Shisui.
”My Lord! You have finally returned. Welcome back to Paradise Island.” Alora said and bowed her massive body in a show of respect.
”Thank you, Alora. How have things been? And I see you have grown quite a lot since the last time I saw you.” He started to pet her nose and Alora seemed to really enjoy the touch so she let him continue while she answered him.
”I evolved because of you, My Lord. Your magic that lingers on this island caused all of the beasts here to evolve. We don't really understand it since we shouldn't be able to evolve as we have.” Alora said while accidentally letting out a growl of happiness from all the petting she was receiving.
