Chapter 142: Acceptance

The tremor that shook the surroundings seemed to resonate like the shatter of fragile glass on the verge of breaking. In the blink of an eye, the landscape transformed completely, as if we had passed through an invisible barrier to a place entirely familiar. Before me stood a majestic tree, while a small fairy fluttered rapidly towards where I stood.

Her eyes gleamed intensely as they scrutinized my being, as if they could read every fiber of my existence. After what felt like an eternity, the fairy ascended with satisfaction. Meanwhile, the winged dragon, with its imposing presence, stared at me intently, without uttering a single word, but his gaze seemed to penetrate to the very depths of my soul, then he also closed his eyes as if he were sleeping.
