That time I failed as an Author and got reincarnated in Tensura

Chapter 100: His name was Dawn Arceid

3rd Pov

A person's life is akin to a flower...born one day with the sole purpose of growing until withering.

As such, people who possess immortality are not bound by death's fatality...he, like them , has witnessed it all, and how destructive the passage of time is.

Used to being eternal, a single loss can be more bitter than the result of any war...examples such as the hero emperor Rudra, mad genius Twilight or other spiritual beings...

Even the Star king dragon, Veldanava...legendary being that aren't even affected by death has gone through the line of the living.

Some were villains, another party were neutral and finally those who die as heroes...in the end, it's a matter of choice.

Dawn : Why the long face ? Aren't you happy that I kept my promise ?

Standing before the Frost dragon, Velzard looked at him with deep disarray...behind her, an unconscious Mirai, Eleonor who was attending her, had both her hands covering her mouth in shock.

Flora on the other hand looked away sadly, maybe expecting such an outcome...in her own way.

This should have been a happy reunion...a long awaited moment for both of them.

But Velzard was no fool, with Ivarage's energy vanishing into a state of control...the world itself was silent, the destruction had ravaged the entire realm's flow.

Yet for her, she could hear or see none of these...her eyes transfixed on the transparent figure of the man she once met as a child over a block of ice.

His body transparently emitted neither heat nor life...

Velzard : Y-you...t-this can't be-

Her voice breaking short, she held her hand tight reminiscing a familiar sensation...the same as when Veldanava died, no this time was even worse.

Because Veldanava could come back whenever he wanted...he was just that kind of being, a true dragon and the purest one at that.

But Dawn...just from looking at me, she could tell how severe the situation was...what's surrounding him was pure chaos.

The world tried to eject him yet it also protected him ? His power was reduced to nothing more than a regular human and his eyes felt empty.

Velzard : Why...y-you didn't have to do all that...

Tears streamed down her cheeks, she took a weak step ahead...her hand shakingly stretched to reach for Dawn's face.
But as she made contact, no physical or spiritual form led Velzard's hand to just reach through him.

Velzard : Ah...

Her eyes widened for an instant, she frantically repeated her gesture but no matter how...there was nothing to reach.

She slowly understood why Dawn's existence felt so blurry...because he was not a living being anymore...

But the world recognized his sacrifice and allowed him to be here without existing.

Dawn : It's really cold isn't it.

He couldn't really tell if it was he who felt cold, only his instinct remained guiding his actions and words.

He carefully stared at Velzard, he knew her...he is sure of that yet no memories came up even as he tried.

Yet her sole presence seemed to calm him, lowering his head- Dawn felt a sense of heaviness assaulting his heart.
