The truth - 2 [ Bonus chapter ]

Lucas was shocked seeing the majestic and royal attire of his mother. He kept staring at her for a long time and Athanasia smugly stood there doing a pose.

" How do I look ?" She asked.

" I don't know what to say but I won't expect anything less from my mother." Lucas said instantly but kept staring at her.

Athanasia blushed slightly when she heard her son praising her. She felt butterflies in her stomach but kept her composure.

" Let's go " She said while changing Lucas's attire as well.

Lucas was wearing pajamas before as his nightwear but right now he was wearing a short which was above his knees in black colour with a white shirt and black coloured stretchable suspender. He was also wearing a navy blue beret cap.

His hair was also well set and it didn't even feel like he had just woken up even for him. He felt fresh like he had just taken a good bath.

Athanasia had a serious expression on her face while she started walking towards the door. Lucas understood the gesture which said that he must follow her.

It was the first time for Lucas to come out of the room. Even though it was just empty corridors he looked around like a curious kitten. Athanasia chuckled inwardly seeing her son's behaviour.

After walking for a few minutes they appeared in front of a grandiose double door. The door looked really tall and heavy. Lucas noticed something familiar on the grandiose double door. The insignia belonged to the Holy Silvia Empire. Lucas wanted to ask something to his mother but before he could even open his mouth the grandiose door opened automatically.

Athanasia started walking in the grandiose door and Lucas followed her. What transpired in front of Lucas's eyes was something unbelievable.

It was a big hall. There was nothing much except some necessary things like the chandeliers which were mystical. The ceiling was very high and there were six huge pillars supporting the ceiling. The hall was themed in the same white and blue theme.

Except for that there was a throne. A grandiose thrown at the end of the hall. The throne was kept a bit higher with around 15 to 20 stairs.

Lucas was in awe of the majesty of the hall and he kept staring at the throne which was made from some sort of black metal with a strange silver luster.

Lucas looked at Athanasia who was walking towards the grandiose throne.

*tok* *tok*

There was not a single sound except the taping of Athanasia's heels. She kept walking until she reached the staircase leading to the throne. She started climbing them neither too slowly nor too fastly.

When she finally reached the throne she sat on it like the throne was made only for her. It seemed very natural like the throne was made for nobody but her. Lucas himself instinctively felt like kneeling in front of his own mother but he was in a daze seeing his mother's majesty and authority that he was not even able to move a finger.

" Can you tell me, Lucas , what is the name of this empire ?" Athanasia suddenly asked with a smile which brought Lucas out of his daze.

" Holy Silvia Empire " Lucas was a bit confused but he still complied as he felt like not answering his mother right now will be a big offence.

" Do you know why it is called that ?" Athanasia asked.

" Because this empire is protected by The Great White Dragon of Calamity, Silvia. Silvia is not just its guardian but also the deity of the whole Garuda continent and she also has her own religion in the continent. She protects the empire only when necessary and gives the members of the imperial family her name along with her powers." Lucas explained.

Athanasia smiled slightly at his perfect explanation and stood up. Instead of walking she starts to float in the air and suddenly a pillar of white bright light covers her entirely.

The sounds of thunder can be heard from the outside and the wind in the hall also started to roar. It was as if the world itself was quaking in fear for what is going to come while the white pillar looked like a beacon to let the lesser beings know that a god is coming within mortals.

The light became unbearably bright while the winds became strong like a storm was coming. Lucas instinctively covered his face with his hands and closed his eyes.

When the noises finally stopped and everything returned to normal did Lucas open his eyes. What stood in front of Lucas was something which will be engraved in the depths of his memories.

The creature was at the very least 50 meters (5000 cm). It had silver pearly white scales covering it from head to toe. She had a long neck which can be described with only one word– Majestic. She had blue jewel-like eyes with vertical pupils. She had 6 that means 3 pairs of horns around her head which looked like a crown. Blue flames were dancing on the upper side of the neck.

She had white angelic feathered wings which seemed to be glowing. These wings were so big that if spread they might look even bigger than the length of the creature. The tail of the creature was very long with its end litten by the same blue flame.

Lucas even though had no past memories. This creature was simply so majestic and huge that Lucas instinctively called it by it's race :-

" Dragon….."
