Young Mistress of Blue Ocean Dragon Clan

 "Ahh, what happened?" a female voice exclaimed, as a figure emerged from the cocoon. 

 The figure was revealed to have blue hair, with royal blue horn, with darker tinge at the base. Her yellow eyes looked it could pierce even the hardest metal as he look around, trying to get a bearing.

 "So, you have awakened," a voice, one that definitely did not belong to her escort said, causing her to turn towards the source.

 To her surprise, it is a human at the Genesis Condensing, and from the look of it, he had reach the peak of the major realm.

 "Who are you, and where is my escort?" she exclaimed with slight wariness. After all, while she could defeat the man in front of her, there could be more of them.

 The man in front of her had a sad smile before pointing at her, no, at something behind her. She turned around slowly, just in case he would stab her in the back.

 However, the sight she saw was enough to drop her guard as she fell to her knee.

 "No," she sobbed, seeing the dragon skull in front of her. She instinctively knew the owner of the skull even if a part of her did not wish to believe it.

 She unravel to say any other word as she cried her heart out, tears falling freely as she wailed. Soon, she felt someone draping an arm around her shoulder.

 She wanted to punch the man for daring to touch her but stop when a female voice said, "Cry your heart out. Don't keep it inside of you,"

 She did not know where the woman came from but she did as she said, letting all her grief out. At the thought of her dead parents. At the thought of her dead family members.

 At the fact she is now the last of her clan. And at the memory of her entourage, the one who sacrifice his life to protect her.

 All the while, the woman stay at her side, letting her release all the tears and sadness that brew inside.

 When she finish crying her heart out, the woman take a seat by the man's side. They clearly lovers, judging by how she laid her head on his chest, the show of intimacy showing their relationship is more than friends.

 "He give this to you," the man said, before giving her a crystal and a bead. She immediately recognized the two objects with one being a projection crystal and the other being a core of a Spirit Beast.

 The young mistress accepted it, before looking at the two with leading eyes. She would have never done this to anyone, and just kick them out but she owe them too much to do that.

 Thankfully, they seem to understand and take their leave, allowing her to see the last message of her last escort.

-x-

 20 minutes has passed and the dragon girl still did not come out or call them in.

 "The message must be long, or she still processing the fact," Ryker said with Ina elbowing his gut.

 "She is still grieving," she said in a scolding tone.

 Ryker merely nodded, knowing the feeling. Though, he thinks he is luckier. After all, while she did not have anyone else, he at least have his siblings, and later on, his lovers.

 "Please, come inside," a hoarse voice asked for them. Ina and Ryker exchange a glance before they walk into the cave.

 They spot the dragon girl sitting on top of a flat rock, looking at them with unreadable expression.

 "So, my last man asked you to look after me," she said flatly, like she did not even believe what she just said.

 "Yes," Ryker reply bluntly.

 "And why should I trust you?" she asked a surprisingly valid question. After all, she is a powerful Dragon from a powerful monster clan.

 If they sold her out, they would be drowning in riches. Or so she thought.

 "There literally no one you can trust. And you don't have any way to hide your appearance or your oura from expert stronger than you," Ryker flatly pointed out, causing her to groan in despair.

 None of what he said is a lie, as she had to admit the fact she basically stuck in a continent that would hunt her for the sake of saying they manage to hunt a dragon.

 "Do you have any such artifact?" she countered. After all, even the most desolated continent of any Realm, the strongest would be either at the peak of Spirit Grand Realm or even reaching the Source Grand Realm.

 If she met such expert, they would know her race and the rest would be history.

 Ryker threw a necklace towards her, the dragon girl catching it midflight. She looks at it sceptically but still put it on. In seconds, she felt something changed about her.

 She did not dare to believe it but a failed attempt to grab her horn lead her to believe what just happened.

 "H-how?" she asked in a shock tone, clearly surprised by what happened.

 "A powerful artifact focusing in disguise. So you can walk into towns and cities without worries," he replied.

 "You will let me keep it?" she asked, hoping it to be true.

 Unfortunately, reality had to rear it's ugly head.

 "No," Ryker shook his head, making her head drop.

 "However, her head stood up faster than he thought possible, "I can let you wear it as long as you followed us," she looked at him warily while contemplating her option.

 Ryker decide to point out another point, "Do you have any concrete place to go?" the question slammed her in the gut, as she could not deny him the fact she did not have any clue of her next destination, only waking up just today.

 "Following us would do us both good. You get someone who knows where you will be going as well as the one who help you not get cheat by merchants or other people.

 As for us, we will get someone strong to protect us for the rest of our journey," the dragon girl thought about it some more before she nod, seeing there is no flaw in the logic.

 "Good. But first. What is your name? I don't want to call you young mistress all the time," the ragin girl must have decided the earned the right to her name as she said in a haughty tone.

 "My name is Mashia,"
