"It's an ancient prophecy," the voice of the Primordial Dragon King echoed.

"About ten thousand years ago, right after I quelled the Dragon Clan’s civil war, a dragon priest made this prophecy."

He recited, "The words of the priest were: 'When the sky falls, and the universe collapses, the end of all things and the fear of all beings will once again descend upon this land. Only the one who holds the power of thunder shall reverse fate and save all from annihilation.'"

"The dragons of ancient times believed deeply in prophecies and foretelling dreams. Even though most of them rarely turned out to be accurate, whenever one or two did hit the mark, they gained a strong following."

When people asked the priest how he could foresee such a world-shattering event, the priest simply said he saw the future of the dragons and all species on the Samael Continent through 'the wails of fate.'"@@novelbin@@

"You know how it is with priests or prophets; they always sound cryptic. If you were to use modern slang, I guess you'd call them... ‘riddlers’?”

"Regardless, the ancient prophecies did hold a level of credibility. And this prophecy about 'the fear of all beings' likely aligns with the ultimate terror I'm trying to prevent. So, even I can't entirely ignore this apocalyptic prophecy."

In the dimly lit waterway, Noa leaned against the wall, silently listening to the ancestral dragon recounting an ancient tale.
