A Journey That Changed The World.



The room around him grew quiet as everyone watched in anticipation.

As if from nowhere, a pair of huge, white wings emerged from his back, their scales shimmering in the light.

They were magnificent, and the room was filled with gasps and whispers of excitement.

At the same time, Archer's fingers began to elongate, stretching out into long, sharp claws.

They were beautiful, like ivory, and looked strong enough to cut through steel.

As his transformation continued, a long, powerful tail sprang forth from his back, swishing slowly back and forth as if it too was coming to life for the first time.

It was long and slender, covered in white scales, and looked capable of delivering a crushing blow.

He's body felt more powerful since he evolved and loved having his draconic features on show.

Archer opened his eyes and looked around the room, to see the families eye's wide open in shock.

Alima mumbled.

''He's a white dragon Raymond.''

Archer picked up on the tone of her voice and he know she knew something. He turned to her and asked.

''Alima, what do you know about white dragons?''

She saw his shining violet eyes staring at her. she stepped forward before speaking.

''I read a tome when I was attending the academy, that stated white dragon's can manipulate weather, can turn barren land fertile and can do many things with mana.''

She shrugged before she was finished speaking.

''I'm not sure how true that is, I just read about it in my free time when I finished my studies.''

Archer was interested, maybe he will unlock more special abilities when he evolves again.

''Well thank you for the information.''

He took out five bottles of the Rune Shine drinks he had in his Item Box and gave one to each family member as a thank you for Raymonds information.

The children looked happy but the older boy looked indifferent.

Raymond walked over to him with a smile on his face.

''Archer let me introduce you.''

He pointed at them.

''This little beauty is Aiza, the little rascal is Fahad and the angry looking munchkin is Riyad.''

Aiza and Fahad were smiling, but Riyad got angry when he heard his father call him that.

He walked out the dinning room and everyone heard a door slam.

Alima looked at him.

''I apologize about that, he can be moody at times.''

He waved her away without thinking about it and went back to eating, as he was eating Aize asked him a question.

''Archer do you have any family?, and why are you here?''

He looked at this curious Loli before answering her.

''Well I was fighting and fell into a river, and I floated all the way here.''

As Archer spoke he remembered a movie he and Alexa watched years ago and a phrase came to mind.

'They all float down here. You'll float, too.'

Thinking about that damn clown made him shiver, he hated them.

Shaking his head as he finished off the food on his plate.

Aize didn't let him get away with avoiding the question and so she repeated herself.

''So, do you have a family?''

Memories flashed through his mind as he looked down.

''No, I don't, I only have one person in my life but she's not here, unfortunately.''

The little girl went silent before an awkward atmosphere descended over the five people.

Until Raymond spoke up.

''Enough of this sour atmosphere, now where were you headed, Archer?''

He stared at the farmer for a minute before he spoke.

''I was heading for the closest town or city, do you know the way?''

Before Raymond could reply Alima spoke up.

''The Great City Sarar is 10 miles to the north of here, it's a trading city that produces food and is home to many gem mines that the kingdom needs.''

Archer nodded his head before asking her a question as he pulled out his last meat wrap.

''Alima can you make these meat wrap's if I give you the meat?, I'll pay you.''

She looked at the simple food in his hand before nodding.

''Yes I can, what meat do you have?''

''Orc.''

The five people's eyes widened when they heard his quick reply.

She replied when she heard what he said.

''How did you get it?''

Raymond got the look first then followed by Alima, both talking at the same time.

''''You're a dragon.''''

Nodding his head with a smirk, before pulling out two orc bodies and telling her she can keep one.

Alima quickly rushed off to fetch something and Raymond stared at him.

Archer dismissed his draconic features, leaving the tail out, it was swaying left to right in a smooth rhythm.

So he stared back with a crazy psychotic smile.

''You're one crazy child, you know that Archer.''

He nodded at the man's words before giving is own opinion.

''Tell me about it.''

Raymond stared at the broken boy.

''Whatever happened to you really affected you huh.''

He remained silent until Alima returned with some knives and a magic pouch.

She looked at Archer before getting to the dirty work.

''Your food will be done by tomorrow midday, and thank you for the food, it will help out a lot.''

Archer spoke for a little while longer he dismissed himself to go get some rest, flying around still made him tired.

After saying goodbye to everyone he left the house then entered his Domain and made his way to the cottage.

He heard Alima say just as he left.

''Off He Goes.''

Archer hoped he would get used to it soon, he has been meaning to work out but kept forgetting.

As he was walking he pictured the cottage having a large training room below it, having a staircase leading all the way down to it.

He felt a small shake as he created the training room.

Archer also increased the Domain space, also added more environments, such as desert grasslands, mountains, lakes, and even more forests, at the cost of 6000 mana.

'Mana'

[Mana: 200/7000]

Archer felt really tired after expanding the Domain, he decided not to do it again until he had a lot more mana.

Pulling out a mana potion he drank it.

[Mana: 700/7000]

He pictured the Domain having the same night and day cycle as the outside world.

After he was done with that he made his way to bed, he entered the cottage and stripped off before walking into one of the bedrooms and falling asleep.

Archer came to as he was standing in a church on earth, he was getting married to the two loves of his life Alexa and Ella, and everything was perfect.

The sun was shining, the colors were vivid, and everything felt alive and vibrant.

The ceremony was beautiful, and the guests were all smiling and happy.

Archer couldn't believe how lucky he was to be marrying two wonderful girls that were perfect for him.

But then, something changed.

The sky began to darken, and the colors started to fade.

The guests began to disappear, and Archer was left alone.

Suddenly, his brides-to-be transformed into two beasts, with sharp teeth and claws.

They began to chase him, and he ran as fast as he could, trying to escape but he couldn't.

Everywhere he turned, they were there, and he was trapped.

The dream that had started so beautifully had turned into a terrible nightmare.

He woke up in a panic and saw it was still night, Archer drank Moon Juice.

Archer then drifted back to sleep, hoping for a better dream to replace the nightmare that just happened, but thanks to fate it was not to be.

He found himself standing in a dark and eerie place, and Ella approached him, tears streaming down her face.

"Why did you leave me?" She asked, her voice cracking with emotion.

"I didn't leave you, I was knocked into the river and ended up here!" Archer replied, confused because he was certain Sarah would have told her somehow.

"No, you were gone for so long, and I felt so alone. That's why I had to leave you,"

Ella explained, and he realized that he had been gone for a long time, and hadn't even realized it.

Archer felt his heart break as he watched her walk away, and he knew that it was all his fault.

He felt alone, lost, and completely devastated. The nightmare had taken him to his lowest point, and he didn't know how to fix it.

As he started to get angry the scene changed to one that he was very familiar with.

He saw a young man and woman walking down the riverside on a cold September night.

Not long after that, he spotted Noah approaching the two from behind.

Archer tried to intervene but couldn't he could only watch what was about to happen.

But to his horror, Noah started stabbing Alexa, as the other Archer stood by and watch.

As he woke up again, tears streaming down his face, realizing he was in the cottage.

The constant dreams were taking their toll on his fragile mind, maybe because he was a dragon it was holding the mental dam back.

Getting off the bed, he put his clothes back on and cast Cleanse on himself.

Archer leaves the cottage and saw it's still dark out.
