"You... how did you get here?" I asked, stunned by the divine presence standing in the sky above us, looking down at us and Mir.
"Really, how troublesome. I thought hiding him in another world would make him unreachable," Mir said with a lightness in her voice, contrasting the tense atmosphere.
However, upon closer inspection, there was a hint of nervousness in her demeanor. Despite her legendary strength, feared even by the gods, she seemed to be afraid of Eleona.
"Did you really think hiding him in another world would prevent me from finding him? There is no place I cannot reach..." Eleona declared, stepping lightly onto the ground. The overwhelming aura she exuded sent shivers down my spine.
"I thought I had covered all traces of him so thoroughly... How did you find him?" Mir wondered aloud.
Whoosh! Dark flames appeared in Mir's delicate hand, a menacing magic that seemed capable of snatching life itself.
It was clear she viewed Eleona as a foe, needing no conversation to confirm it.
"I couldn't sense Harold through normal means... So, the foolish dragon resorted to annoying tricks, did it?" Eleona mused, nodding her head as if understanding something.
"And so, I used a simple but certain method... searching through all worlds," she revealed. "Not just the other world but this world too, from beginning to end. I meticulously scanned everything, leaving nothing unexamined."
The idea of searching the entirety of all worlds to find me was beyond my comprehension. To me, even one world felt vast and immeasurable, sending a chill down my spine.
"I've come to reclaim what's mine... my happiness, which I found after scouring every corner of every world," Eleona declared determinedly.
"Tch, such a brute-force method," Mir scoffed, unimpressed, as she cautiously watched Eleona. "Harold is mine now... This situation is the culmination of all my efforts... Did you think I would let it go to waste?" Mir's eyes darkened, emitting a fierce intensity capable of swallowing anything into the void.
"I will claim my one true knight... If you refuse, I'll tear this world apart to take him back," Eleona declared, her presence overwhelming, like a raging storm.
"Do you think your threats will work on me? I will never hand him over... Even if the world crumbles and nothing remains, I'll keep him," Mir responded, intensifying the dark flames in her hand.
Mir and Eleona... neither seemed willing to give an inch. The atmosphere suggested that if left alone, they might clash violently, possibly destroying my world.
My survival instinct screamed at me to intervene.
"Then I shall take your life along with him... Foolish dragon," Eleona threatened.
"Come at me, goddess... As in the past, I will annihilate a god," Mir retorted.
At that critical moment, when the god and the ancient dragon were ready to strike each other...
"Wait a minute!!" I mustered all my courage to shout, interrupting the impending clash.
Startled, they both turned their attention to me, their hostility slightly easing, replaced by surprise.
If I had hesitated even a moment, I would have been caught in the crossfire, possibly destroyed by their conflict.
"How about trying to solve this through conversation? If you start fighting, I'll be the first one in danger..."
To my relief, my plea seemed to work. The hatred between them gradually subsided, evidenced by the fading flames in Mir's hand.
An uncomfortable silence descended. They were still wary of each other, but their unwillingness to act openly because of me changed the dynamics of the situation. "Perhaps realizing my existence a bit late, they both seemed confused with various thoughts... Despite wanting to tear each other apart, neither wanted to harm an innocent like me. They stood still, their expressions complex and changing.
