your exile

B. Wake up now and go to Ellis

You will continue to sleep for 50 years, and the lifespan of a half-orc is only about 100 years.When you wake up again, Ellis has already lived half his life.Will he still remember you?Is he still willing to accompany you?Now you regret that you quarreled with him when you attacked the devil, you treated him badly and scolded him severely.As a result, you are going to sleep half of his life now, and you have been together for less than two years.

Thinking of this, you feel a pang of sadness.You really, really like Ellis. If you were asked to wait for him for 50 years, you would definitely agree without hesitation and wait honestly.But you don't know if Ellis will wait for you. Fifty years is a long time for most races, long enough to make new friends and forget old ones.Your mentor has taught you that no matter how deep your relationship is, you must manage it with your heart, so even if you are weak, you should wake up, at least wake up, and tell Ellis to remember to come back to see you in 50 years.

This is so unfair.Dragons are very long-lasting species, especially you, who have a very strong attachment.But orcs are not.They even switch spouses, make friends and forget them quickly.It makes you sad to think about it, and you don't want to see Ellis making other friends and giving his big paws to be touched.

You decide to wake up quickly.

It took you days to realize that you were actually awake because you were so weak.You try to open your eyes, the light in the room is very comfortable, the first thing you see is a strange looking leopard face: his nose is crooked, mouth and eyes are very flattened.He looks at you and you look at him.It took you a long time to realize that there was a transparent cover between you, and now Alice is sticking to the transparent cover to look at you, squeezing his face flat.

You blink, and Alice blinks back.He stared at you blankly, as if he didn't understand what happened at all.

You feel happy and grin.

When you smile, Alice knows you're awake.He jumped up suddenly, jumping wildly on the transparent cover.He was so happy that even Leopard could see a smile on his face. He circled around your bed several times, ran back to jump on the transparent cover above your head, and rubbed against the transparent cover vigorously. Straight tail was shaking like crazy.He kept repeating this action for a long time, and then hurriedly changed to Hall to help you open the transparent cover on the top of his head, and then he threw himself on you, hugging you and crying loudly.

You have no idea how miserable and desperate Hall is.Your mentor told him that you were seriously injured and would probably sleep for a long time, and advised him to return to his own group to live a normal life, but he refused.He is so determined to be here with you that he doesn't even want to leave this little room.Your mentor does not want to see him sink like this, and warns him that there is no point in waiting, because you may sleep for 1000 years. 1000 years, what a huge time it is for him, he imagines you waking up in 1000 years, the castle is full of plants, the elves sing your praises, you wake up in this small house, You will find yourself a legend.All your friends are gone, no one in this world knows you, and no one is waiting for you.You will live alone as the only dragon in the world, and he and you are just missing out.

Hall was heartbroken.He decided not to go anywhere, just waiting for you here, even if he had to wait for a lifetime, it doesn't matter.Even if he dies, he will still wait for you, wanting you to see his remains after 1000 years, and know that someone has been waiting for you to go home.He misses you every day, and looks at you through the cover every few hours. He licks his paws on the transparent cover for a long time, and the fur is almost bald.He has already prepared for the worst, but he didn't expect that you only slept for a year. When you opened your eyes, he thought he was dreaming, but when you started to smile, he felt that he was in heaven.

Hall starts kissing you.He holds you tight in his arms and kisses your neck and cheeks.You don't have the energy to kiss back, but you feel great.You remember that when Alice was attacking the devil, his back was injured and he bled a lot, but now you reach out to touch those wounds, but only touch some healed scars.You held Hall in your arms, and put your cheek to his, and then you suddenly thought of something so terrible that you broke out in a cold sweat for a moment.

You remembered the pact between you and Hall.You branded his soul, but you haven't had time to wake it up.The contract is officially effective from the awakening day, after that he will stay at the age of the awakening day forever, sharing the same lifespan as you.If you decide to wake up after 50 years and activate the contract, that means Hall's age will always stay at 80.

80 years old is not a good age, too much older than you.You are so thankful that you made the right choices, and that you always make the right choices, which is amazing.You put your arms around Hall's neck, and there are countless whispers you want to say to him, but before you can speak, you suddenly feel dizzy in your head.

You pass out.

You are too weak, a year is only enough for your body to take a breath, and now you even have to rely on dragon blood stones to maintain your human appearance.Whether you like it or not, you'll fall asleep again and bid Hall farewell.

You realize it pretty quickly, and then you struggle, trying with all your might to wake up again.You have not been asleep for a long time, during which Hall has not moved, staring at you intently.

You told Hall that you'd have to sleep for at least another 50 years.You touch his face and apologize while Hall shakes and kisses you desperately.He didn't dare to imagine what it would be like to wait 50 years. His voice was hoarse, but he told you that it didn't matter, he would wait.

You don't want Hall waiting until 80.You brought up that pact, and waking it up will be a bit of a burden on you, but that's nothing compared to making Hall grow old.At this time, you suddenly vaguely remembered another thing. You remember that there are many kinds of dragon contracts. In addition to the subordination contract, there is also a spouse contract that can share each other’s injuries and burdens. If a dragon decides to combine with people of other races, will use this contract to help each other stay in step.

You feel a little happy and a little nervous.If Hall signs this contract with you, he will share your hurt, and then you will only need to sleep together for about 25 years before you can wake up, and Hall will not have to wait for you alone.But you also know that a spousal contract is a very serious matter that needs to be carefully considered by two people, and it needs to be done.You think you are completely fine, you love him so much and want to be together forever, but you know that Hall is an adult, and he probably has a lot to worry about.

So you were uneasy, and carefully told Hall about the conjugal contract, and asked him if he would marry you.

Hall answers you with a tearful smile and numerous kisses.He has confessed his love countless times, but now he doesn't know what to say, and finally he said incoherently: "Thank you... Thank you so much, I am willing, very willing."

You feel happy.You hold Hall's hand, and you lie in a crystal case, staring at each other, giggling face to face.Signing a spouse contract is a very important matter, there should be a ceremony, and good friends should be invited to watch the ceremony.It's a pity that you are too weak now to do this.Finally, you decided to invite your mentor to be a witness. The elves lined up on the windowsill and sang for you, and your mentor specially changed into a new robe.Hall takes his own pillow and puts it in the crystal case while you make room for him.

You awaken the conjugal bond, and a ray of light surrounds you and Hall.You are thus united.

When the light dims, Hall becomes as weak as you.Your mentor helped him lie beside you, and also filled him with dragon blood stones.Your mentor is very happy that you can wake up and that you have found the love of your life. He sincerely blesses you both and promises to take good care of you and the whole kingdom for you.Before you fall asleep, you have many things you want to know. The demon king has been eliminated by you, but there are still many demon soldiers and monsters in this world. You worry that once you fall asleep, no one can defeat them.

Both your mentor and Hall smile.They told you that at the last moment, the Demon King used all his strength to open the passage to the other world, and then all the demon soldiers and monsters rushed in and fled back to their own world.Now there are no demons outside.You breathe a sigh of relief, and then you suddenly feel a little sad, because the monsters have escaped back, which means that there will be no more furballs you love in the world.

As soon as you sigh, Hall knows what you're thinking.He hurriedly asked your mentor to help bring the space bag from the cabinet.The passage to the other world has been open for a long time. During this period, Hall has traveled to the other world several times to collect fur balls for you.He was going to fill up the whole castle with these little things, and hoped you would be happier to wake up to see it, but you woke up too early before he could set it up.He asks you to reach into the interspatial pocket, and you do so, only to be touched by thousands of fur balls, hugging your arms softly.

Ah, you were crying with joy.You didn't have the strength to cheer, but immediately took out a large handful of fur balls, held them in your palms and kept kissing them, while Hall and the mentor looked at you with smiles.Then your mentor remembered a very important thing. He told you that when the gnomes were building the castle, they found a huge deposit of dragon bloodstone underground.In order to prevent any more dragon blood from hurting you, he intends to destroy this mine, but he doesn't know if your body will be affected.

You shake your head.But you want to keep these deposits.At the beginning, the demon king detonated a dragon blood stone mine to kill all your people. This plan has been carried out for hundreds of years. During this period, the demon king opened several passages from other worlds to transport demonic energy into the dragon blood mine.At that time, your people climbed and rested on the Dragon Blood Stone every day, but none of them thought of exploring the surroundings with their senses.You tell your mentor that the dragon is also responsible for this war. Your people are too lacking in crisis awareness. Everyone is living a boring life. They either sleep every day or hide in caves and indulge in collections. No one expects that there will be enemies.You decided to keep these mineral deposits, on the one hand continue to provide energy for your people, on the other hand force everyone to be vigilant at all times.

You mentioned the clansman, and you also mentioned the plan for the future development of the race, which made your mentor and Huoer very difficult, and they didn't know what to say.In order to take care of your emotions, everyone has never mentioned your clan and parents in person, and now it is obvious that you have not realized that your race is extinct.In the end, your mentor reminded you with difficulty and tactfully that you are the last dragon in this world, and you shook your head.

You tell your mentor that there are many, many dragon eggs in the underground caves of the castle - they look like a pile of round stones because the surface has been calcified for too long.For a long time, people in the world have believed that dragons are difficult to reproduce. They are sparsely populated and live for thousands of years, but they only raise one offspring or have no offspring in their lifetime.And you know that's not the case.Your people will lay several dragon eggs in their lifetime, but they are not easy to mature and difficult to hatch, so they are kept there for many years.That's why you've been showing less grief over the deaths of your parents and clan.The soul of a dragon is immortal, and there is no concept of death in your conception.Your race always maintains a certain amount, and every time a dragon falls asleep forever, an egg wobbles gently, spawning life.

So you know many things.The memory about your clan is hidden deep in the soul, and it will slowly come to mind without the guidance of the elders.The same goes for those dead clansmen and your parents, they have not dissipated, you are only temporarily separated.In a few hundred years, when there are young dragons in the cave under the castle tapping the eggshells with their mouths, you know you will meet them again.

You told your mentor and Ellis everything you knew, and your mentor was so happy that he wanted to go to the underground cave to examine the eggs at once.Now, when it's time to say goodbye, your mentor hugged you and Alice, and kissed both of your foreheads.He lamented that there are only a few old guys left in the Paladins to accompany him, and when you two wake up 25 years later, all of them should have been buried in the ground.Your mentor's words make you sentimental.During the days of exile, the Paladins accompanied you and protected you. There are more than 400 of them, and they all sacrificed for you today.You remembered their names and faces one by one, they loved you, looked for gifts for you, and held you in their arms in the flames of war.Your eyes are red, and you feel that you really miss them, but you still have to recover your strength first.

So you brace yourself, and ask your mentor to convey your thanks to the knights, and to wish them peace in advance.Your mentor nodded, accepted your blessing on behalf of everyone, and hugged you again.You are very calm, but this conversation made Hall very sad.He also respects and loves your mentor, and regards the knights as friends and companions. Now he realizes that everyone is gone when he wakes up, and he feels extremely sad.

This is the price of signing a contract with the dragon.

Hall was very sad.He clung to your mentor's hand and said he would be missed forever.He hugged your mentor and said ten thousand times that he was reluctant, which moved your mentor greatly.So your mentor turned around and told you to revive everyone as soon as possible after waking up, and don't let Hall miss you too much.Wait, resurrection?Hall froze.

Yes, paladins can be revived by dragons.They signed a contract with your ancestors in ancient times, and as agents of the dragon in the kingdom, each of them has died seventy or eighty times in battle on average.Once your father died, you automatically inherited the contract, but the contract of hundreds of people is too burdensome for you, so there is no way to resurrect people.But you promised Hall that when you regain your powers, you'll wake them all up at once, because you miss them too.

Hall showed a happy yet speechless expression, and stopped talking.

So you say goodbye to the master, the master says good night to you, and he puts the crystal cover on you and draws the curtains.When it's just you and Hall left in the room, you suddenly feel an extreme need.

You miss Ellis.Miss his big paws and fur.

You are hurt and emotionally vulnerable right now.You want to lie on Alice's warm belly and bury your face in his long, soft fur.You were so uncomfortable, even though you knew it was impolite, you couldn't care less, and finally made a request to Hall, begging him to become Alice to accompany you.

As soon as you said this, Hall felt as if he had been punched, and immediately showed a hurt look on his face.He stared at you blankly, and asked after a long time, "So...you still don't love me, right?"

You don't understand why wanting Alice's company is not loving him.You obviously love him very, very much, but you are more attached to Alice's softness.You still begged Hall to become Alice, so Hall bowed his head and kissed you.He looked at you deeply, his black eyes full of emotion, he was sad and nostalgic, he held your hand on his chest, and asked in a low voice: "It's only me, isn't it? You don't love me, but you want to be with me I sign the contract. You want my company, and my company alone, don't you?"

You're a little confused, unable to comprehend such mixed feelings, you just nod.

Hall lowered his eyes sadly.He leans over to kiss you and slowly turns into Alice, snuggling up to you.He hugged you with his big paws, and you sighed contentedly, shrinking your whole body into his arms.

Now, it's time to sleep.Both of you feel deeply tired at the same time and close your eyes together.

There's one thing you never thought you needed to say, and Ellis doesn't realize it.The lifespan of dragons is as long as thousands of years, but you have been in this world for less than 30 years.The hymn says that the dragon has a huge body and hard scales, and it can cover half the sky with its wings. It is true, but it is not your image.A dragon will not really escape from its eggshell until it is 50 years old, but when you were 12 years old, you were dragged out by your mentor, hid in a cage and started your escape.If you can turn into a prototype, you are just a silver-gray, chirping baby dragon, and you can be held in the palm of Ellis when you are grouped together.It's not that you don't understand feelings, and it's not that you don't love Ellis, you're just still ignorant of your childish age, don't understand his longing and longing, and don't understand the sweetness and pain of love.You like Ellis plush, like a mother's soft belly, which makes you attached and warm. It is your partner and your big cat.

your exile is over
