Eternal Emerald Dragon

Chapter 1829: Chapter 1828 - Found

The small figure was sprinting. A dark green fan was open and glowing inside her but it was not bringing relief to the little girl. It was allowing her to go faster than her own thought allowed.

Her true body had power far beyond its materials and she remembered when the Creator smiled gently at her and was satisfied there were no issues with her.

She had giggled and hugged the handsome man as he played with her for a bit and explored what she could do.

Compared to her brothers and sisters, she was quite weak but he had assured her she could grow stronger both on her own and if she found someone to be a companion with her.

Years had passed and then the great anger came upon him. He suddenly roared into the sky and scales appeared on his skin. Blood actually seemed to flow from his eyes, nose, and mouth.

She had never seen him like that and she wondered if they were all about to die.

Yet, he touched none of them. Even those without spirits but could one day have one were left entirely intact.

Nothing flew at anyone and as he exhausted himself, she hid behind Big Brother Uno. He did not say many words, but he was very protective of the smaller spirits.

Brother Voidsever had bravely approached the Creator and he seemed to have lost something. She felt his pain. He had lost hope!

She hugged him as she remembered his hugs were the best. It seemed like something flickered in his reptilian emerald eyes before a shocking wave of energy slammed into him. His scales burst and so much blood came out of him.

The worst, though, was the feeling of his existence became unstable! They all became terrified he was dying! An emerald flame had snapped over his body and seemed to stabilize him, but that was all.

Finally, after what seemed an eternity to her, she saw the glowing emerald disc in mid air. It was an immovable place and was the way out of their world. She was panting as her energy was running low.

Her body could not be sustained for much longer! Her tiny fists pounded on the unmoving surface.

[PLEASE! SOMEONE! WE NEED HELP! THE CREATOR IS IN DANGER!] Panic flooded her cherubic face and she tried so hard. The others were still lost in their worry but she knew time moved way too fast inside the workshop.

Every moment was days or months! She had to get help! They needed the Creator’s family!

[PLEASE! I DON’T WANT HIM TO DIE! THE CREATOR IS IN DANGER!] She was starting to become much more transparent than normal.

No one was behind her but someone else had to be coming soon. Her fist weakly fell on the surface and no longer had the consistency to make an impact. Despair filled her and her crying face looked up.

[Please, great spirits of Heaven and Earth. Please tell me what I can do.] It was a desperate plea and she did not expect any answer.

The wind around her folds suddenly increased and the aperture opened! She was confused until she saw a tiny strand of emerald energy mixed in! How?!

She pushed it aside as a bald dark skinned man bowed before her.

[Master, how has your–] His dark eyes saw her and froze. His mouth was slackjawed but she stumbled over to him.

[HURRY! The Creator is injured!] Her tiny voice made the man move as he picked her up. She could not hold on and fell into her true body. He gently carried it and moved without instruction.

He also summoned a jade stone and crushed it. She wondered what it was for but had to put her all just into staying awake.

[He was hurt by the energy. He was not in a good mood. Were we not good enough? Was it our fault?] Her thoughts were no longer stable but a brush of kindness helped her focus.

[The Master has a saying. People are not things and he sees all spirits as people. You are you and he would be happy so long as you are happy.] The words took a great weight off of her as they moved through the time distortions.

They came to the complex and found Uno standing guard. He spread his stone wings and metal claws extended but then he saw her in the man’s hands.

[Big Brother, he is a friend!] She knew the dark skinned man was a spirit too but he was far stronger than them.

Uno bowed and opened the door. She saw many spirits arrayed around the Creator’s bed. His pale skin was covered in sweat and she was disturbed to see more blood! How much had happened while she was gone?

[Hmm, about 250 years just to get here for them. Taking that rate into account, about 700 years since you left to get me. If the Master is like that, something indeed has gone very wrong.] The tan robes swished and he took her to the Creator.

She would have whimpered if she had the strength to. He looked so frail.

She was placed on top of him as the bald man began to feel far more profound. He was as strong as the Creator?!

His handsome face frowned but he said nothing. Instead, he looked around the workshop before seeing something. His hands waved and a slim stream of pure white light left his fingers to interact with the wall near the entrance.

A golden sigil appeared and something slowly began to shift. She could not tell what but the sound of many feet suddenly was heard.

"Where are you, Haro?!" A woman’s voice called out and the small fan spirit saw a gorgeous blonde woman come in. Her eyes seemed to shift between blue and green as they locked onto the Creator.

A small army seemed to come in and Haro seemed amused.

"My Lady, please take a moment. You are currently surrounded by many new lives." She paused and her white robes stood out against the dark stone of the workshop. There were several more women and some men behind her who also seemed to take in the many artifacts.

"Should we store–?" A man in some kind of metallic armor of chains spoke but the woman held up her hand.

"Touch nothing. Only Lind can say one way or the other." Haro then came close to her and whispered something.

Surprise bloomed on her narrow jade face as she gently came forward. She then carefully picked up the spirit’s true body of the fan.

[Accept the energy please, little one.] A gentle aura flowed into her and the small girl was able to reappear!

Surprise bloomed on many faces but the little spirit did not care.

[The Creator! Please help him nice lady!] The urgency was in her cry and the jade face broke into a smile. She was kind!

"I am his wife, one of several in this room. Haro has told me but you all were here. Please show me what you saw." Many of the artifacts and weapons became nervous but the little fan did not even pause.

She had been right next to him! She thought hard and scrunched up her cherubic face. The woman closed her eyes and then frowned deeply before shock made her body shiver. She whipped her head at Haro and her long blonde hair flared like sunlight on the water.

Haro only nodded.

What was going on? Was the Creator going to die?! Tears welled but only bubbled across her cheeks. She could not manifest a body like Haro or her older siblings.

The woman pulled her close.

[Thank you so much, little one. You were so brave.] She then placed her true body in the Creator’s hands on his chest. [I will need you.]

[WHATEVER YOU NEED! PLEASE SAVE THE CREATOR, I LOVE HIM!] A bright smile spread but then the lady leaned closed and seemed to concentrate. A strange feeling flowed over her true body.

The little girl felt stronger but it was not directed at her, but at the Creator. Time passed so slowly until the instability of the Creator finally settled. The lady was sweating and pale but she seemed happy.

"He was at his weakest when an enlightenment hit him. There was no way he would have survived if they had not cared for him all this time." Many in the room became solemn and then bowed low to all her brethren. The little girl was glad they had saved the Creator!

[Will he be ok?] Her question drew all the eyes but the woman seemed to ponder for a long time.

[I think that will be up to you. Tell him. Tell him how you feel.] Confused, the little spirit did not question it.

[Creator! I am the little grass fan you made! I was so scared! I thought you were going to die! I ran and ran to the floating disc you showed me once. I begged and begged for someone to hear me. Then, the strange emerald light left me and Haro brought me back and all the people!] Her words were like thunder and almost without pause but she felt like a geyser had been unleashed. She could not stop! [I was so afraid! I love you, Creator. I always want to be with you! Don’t leave us behind!]

Many of her brothers and sisters may have once been like her but they had spoken of finding companions one day. She never had. She knew ever since he held her that she had come home.

She hugged him tight and just held on.

She had run out of words. The dead silence of the room felt oppressive until a familiar hand patted her head.

"You can be by my side as long as you like. Sorry I scared you all." The voice was weak and hoarse but she looked up to see the bloodshot eyes looking at her. He smiled down at her and she cried. "You found me, little one. You found me."
