Chapter 10 Having Fun While They Can
Blake smiled as he moved his seat to sit next to Lillia and began explaining what each dish was. He found it quite strange that he was not all that nervous in front of this girl. He was not sure if it was because she was a dragon girl or if it was because she seemed dead set on him, he was not sure, but he did not mind it either. He figured with time, as their relationship really begins to grow, he will most likely come to love her.
While this may be a strange thought for someone who fought against dragons, he knew for sure that this girl sitting beside him was not the same as the Dragonic. While she was hot tempered, she also did not seem like a bad dragon. She even had some very cute expressions.
After ten minutes, the two finally ordered a whole table of food. Blake decided to just let Lillia taste each dish and pick the one she liked the most. Surprisingly, she ended up liking the chicken caesar salad the most. The steak and hamburgers she did try, but she said they didn't suit her taste. In the end, he ended up eating mostly all the meat dishes while she ate the salad and pasta dishes.
As they finished eating, Blake leaned back and looked up at the ceiling. He couldn't help but think about how places like this will disappear in just a few days. "Blake!"
"Hmmm?" Blake was slightly tired after eating so much. He really wanted to go home and take a nap.
"What are we doing next?" Lillia asked. She had been having a lot of fun seeing all the new sites. While she hated certain aspects of this strange world, other aspects were new and exciting.
"I was thinking we could go home to my place and rest a bit. I kind of wanted to evolve as soon as possible if you are okay with that." Blake could see her eyes that were brimming with excitement dimming down a little, causing him to sigh. "We can go see a movie first. There is a movie theater close by."
"Movie theater?" Lillia instantly became confused. But her interest was piqued.
"Mmm… It would be easier to just show you. Let me pay the bill, then we can go see if any movies are starting soon." Blake picked up their hats and placed Lillia's on top of her head. She looked up at him with her cute face and pursed her lips. Blake chuckled and took her by the hand and led her to the counter to pay the bill.
After leaving a decent tip, he walked with Lillia to the movie theater, which was luckily away from Falmart, so he did not need to worry about running into any cops. If the cops were searching for them, they were not putting much effort into it. He did, however, expect them to show up at his house, but even so, he wanted his phone and laptop. He was planning to just leave his laptop alone, but since the hand crank generator came with some attachments, he figured he could make use of it at some point.
As they walked, Lillia swung the hand holding Blake's back and forth with a smile on her face. "Blake, what kind of magic do you plan to learn?"
"I am not sure. I only ever got to learn body enhancing spells before I died. I have seen people casting fireballs and using other kinds of elemental spells, but they all seem really…. Lame, to be honest." Blake liked fantasy type things, but the idea of only casting generic spells like fireball just did not sit right with him.
"Then, I will teach you my Ather dragon race's specialty. And it is the reason why my race could push back the dragonic." Lillia stopped and let go of Blake's hand. With her hands behind her back, she walked in front of him and leaned over, looking up at him with her big round orange eyes. "Ather dragons are masters of golems. They can range from a small golem that is nothing more than a toy to monster golems with the power to fight the stronger members of the dragonic race one on one.
"It was because of this skill that allowed us to be able to push them back and seal them off. Without it, we would have surely lost, and you would not be here today. Which probably means I would have died long ago, or if I did not die, I would be single for the rest of my life." Lillia said with a sigh. She had always dreamed of meeting her fated one. Never in her life did she ever think it would be with a human, one that was reborn no less.
"Golems, huh? It should be easier to practice as well." Blake liked this idea a lot. He had never heard of humans using golems in his past life. But then again, if they were something that was the specialty of the Ather dragons, then it could be that such knowledge would not be known...
"That it will. And they can be used anywhere on the planet as they can be made from any kind of material. That is why golems are things that can be terrifying. Like this city, for instance. If I were to make a golem, I could use the entire city as the base for it and create one that stands high up into the skies. A single step would be like a high tier spell going off." Lillia's words made Blake even more excited. Now he really couldn't wait to begin learning how to make golems.
Of course, he did not expect to create something like what Lillia talked about right away, but he still felt that golem creation would be much better than some shitty fireball. His body enhancement spells that he used could easily tank a fireball or two in his past life. Spells also take time to cast as well. Then again, humans had only begun to learn how to use magic, and many were slow to really grasp it. This did not mean that some were not very good at it, or else humans would never have been able to rise up to stage a counterattack at that time.
"When we reach your house, I will help you evolve. Then I will begin teaching you about golems." Lillia loved golem creation, so to see Blake interested in learning about them made her happy. She also liked the fact that her race's specialty could be passed on to someone else.
When they reached the movie theater, Blake saw the movie billboards and almost face palmed. Three movies in a row came out all about dragons. "Blake, look! Lower dragons!
p
Dragons like this are what started the apocalypse. While scary looking and unkillable with human weapons, they were really just mere ants compared to the really big dragons. Some were as big as an entire city, and when they flew overhead, the whole sky would turn pitch black.
And they were only slightly scarier than the humanoid dragons. Those dragons…. Blake remembered the one who laughed out loud while calling them ants. Sadly he could not argue with that dragon because it was not wrong. When compared to them, humans were nothing but ants.
"Let's watch this movie." Blake pointed to a romantic comedy that was much more light hearted. Lillia walked over and looked at the picture, and nodded her head. She did not seem to care what they watched.
"I am surprised, though. You humans could figure out what dragons look like without even seeing them." Lillia was shocked when she saw the picture of the dragon because the details were almost one hundred percent accurate.
"Well, dragons have been in human folklore for thousands of years. But it seems that the folklore was actually true and just something embedded into our genes. Unless there were still some dragons long ago that was covered up in history." Blake did not understand it. He did not understand how humans could come up with the exact description of a dragon when they have never seen a real live dragon.
"It is possible. After all, as I said, the reset was not one hundred percent. Some may have hidden and terrorized humans during your regrowth period. At least, this is all I can think of since humans do not have heritage abilities. Like you can not pass down your knowledge through blood as dragons can. " Lillia explained.
"You are probably right. But it doesn't matter since that is all about to become fact in the next day anyway. Let's go get our tickets. This movie will start in ten minutes." Blake took Lillia by the hand and walked into the theater. He had no idea that at this moment, his door was being broken down by the police and that a warrant had been issued for his arrest.
