6. Dragon Lady!!!

Alexander was shocked at the revelation. The big dragon that had a voice even more hoarse than males was a woman. He was baffled by the revelation. But he kept his mouth shut, not to insult her by accident and be roasted by her.

"I-I see, ma'am." He said.

"What you don't believe me?" She asked.

"No no, it's not that. I am just a bit shaken meeting a dragon on my first journey." He said trying to deny her words. Unfortunately, his body language gave away the truth.

*Sigh* She sighed and was engulfed in white light after which her body started morphing into that of a human. The wings, tail and the long neck of the gigantic dragon vanished leaving a gorgeous black haired beauty with purple eyes standing in front of him. {A/N: She looks exactly like Tio Klarus from Arifureta with purple eyes instead of the iconic golden ones. As for the transformation effect, imagine the evolution of a pokemon during the earlier seasons where they glowed white before evolving.}

"Wow." The words escaped his mouth without his realisation.

The black-haired dragon heard this and smiled a bit.

"Thank you." She said with a tone that was far softer than before.

"En, but where exactly are we going?" Alexander asked.

The dragon didn't reply and kept on walking. And after what felt like a few minutes, they reached a huge waterfall.

"Get inside." She said pointing towards the waterfall.

Alexander was surprised for a moment but nodded nonetheless. He closed his ears and went inside the waterfall while holding his breath. When he went inside it, the scenery in front of him took his breath away.

The scenery in front of him could only be described as 'beautiful.' The laid-back valley with the richest woodland he has ever seen. The quiet mountain in the far north with the cold untamed river flowing out of it. The lush green grass covering the entire valley. The chirping of the birds coming out of the marvellous forest and the aromatic scent of the flowers entering his nose, sent chills down his spine. This was a sight he has never seen before, the most beautiful scenery he had ever seen. {I suck at all types of descriptions.}

But the appreciation left him within a moment when he saw giant dragons flying around the place. His face morphed into a scowl but he quickly hid it. He should have expected that there would be more dragons here. And to be honest, he didn't like this. Taking deep breaths he asked the dragon-woman.

"Why did you bring me here, ma'am?" He said trying to sound as polite as possible.

"You wanted me to leave you in the storm?" She said with a bit of sarcasm.

"N-no, but what I mean is, isn't this place a secret or something? The fact that it is cut off from the human civilization with dimensional magic proves it." He said trying to understand the reason she brought him here.

"Hmm… Honestly, it is because of the weird smell you are emitting. I want to let the dragon elder see you once. If what I am thinking is correct, you might be able to gain something big from this as well. And I wouldn't worry about you revealing our secrets. We have our methods to prevent that." She said confusing him even further.

'Again with the smell? I thought it was about me being an alchemist but it doesn't seem to be the case. Considering how long dragons have been alive, they must have met some alchemists in the distinct past. But since she said that I will be gaining something from this, I cannot complain much. Not that I could have done that anyway, with my current abilities going against a dragon is suicide.' he thought while disregarding what she said about him not being able to reveal this to anyone.

"I see, well then when will I meet this elder?" He asked, a bit curious about dragons having an elder. He always thought they only had a king and a queen.

"She is asleep right now. She will only wake up tomorrow, so you will have to wait till then." She said leading him towards what looked like a town inside the forest.

Once they entered the town, he was mesmerised once again. The town was far more beautiful than any other place he had ever seen. It was filled with many beings from demi-humans to goblins. There was every species one could think about, minus humans. But what made his eyes pop out of his sockets were 'Catgirls'.

'I have never been this happy to see any other race. Heck, not even those centaurs running around the hill socked me like this. There are freaking cat-girls in this town!!! CATGIRLS!!!' He was unable to keep his excitement hidden as he openly ogled them.

A few of them giggled at him, while most of the others seemed not too excited at his arrival.

"They don't seem to like me that much." He said.

"Don't take offence, it's not you. They are just not very fond of humans, also you ogling those girls helped a bit." She said with a smirk.

"What do you mean ogling?!?! They are catgirls! Freaking catgirls! Any sane man would do the same when they see those affordable creatures for the first time!" He said in an overemotional tone.

The dragon girl snorted at his outburst before saying.

"We have arrived. You will stay in this inn for today and I will take you to meet the elder tomorrow. Take this." She said throwing a golden medal towards him.

"Just show this to the innkeeper and she will understand that you are my guest." She said and he nodded.

Looking at the medal for a while he replied.

"Thank you." at with she smiled.

Sprouting her dragon wings from her back, she flew away.
