Thus ended the story of the first Dragon King, Noa: her birth, her struggles, and the decisions that molded her into the greatest hero in dragon history.

Now, having awakened after thousands of years, she resides in the mind of her young namesake, bound by her ancient promise to the Dragon Goddess Tiamat. Fortunately, Noa considered herself lucky—her host was brave and noble, and her sisters were clever and bright.

In all her centuries, Noa had encountered countless individuals, but few were like the Melkvey sisters. They lacked the ferocity of the Dragon Clan but possessed a rare kindness at their core, a kindness that might represent the best hope for the future of their kin. It was this spirit that made Noa realize how truly fortunate she was.

Had her spirit ended up in the mind of a crazed fire dragon rather than this young girl, things would undoubtedly be much different.

“That’s all I wanted to say,” she concluded, looking at Aurora. “So, do you still think I’m some sneaky ghost hiding in your sister’s body?”

Aurora slowly shook her head, somewhat bashfully.

“Good.”
