At last, Valerian had awakened from his long slumber.
In his proud draconic form, he flapped his wings and majestically hovered before Adam and the giant turtle's head.
For a few seconds, his topaz eyes flickered with confusion.
One moment, he was deep asleep by the Eternal Soul Lotus, having a beautiful dream. The next moment, he appeared before Adam, who looked vastly different from before.
The young dragon tilted his head and murmured:
"…Brother?"
Adam finally snapped back to his senses.
It wasn't Valerian's sudden appearance that shocked him. No, he had already anticipated it. What truly surprised him was the mana fluctuations rolling unsteadily from him.
He almost teared up as he glanced at his little brother. Then, without wasting another moment, he flew toward the mighty dragon, laughing in great joy.
"Little Val!"
