Part 2/2
Flashback:
Amidst the dark forest, Ash keeps complaining about why he has to come here. When reached age 7, all children have to participate in orphan ceremony to get selected to become breeders. Ash doesn't really care about it. While walking Ash hears someone crying. Ash walks to the source of voice and finds a girl crying there. The girl has golden hair, blue eyes.
"Princess!?"
Ash wakes up, and wondering what he dreams about. He also doubts if he met Silvia before when he was young.
After they finished eating breakfast, the three of them go inside Albion Forest. They don't know where Mother Dragon resides, just like when they had to search for Mother Dragon in orphan ceremony.
Eco asks if Mother Dragon is her mother. After they walk for a while, the fog is becoming thicker.
Ash walks to a certain line of trees and starts to remember that it's the very place where he met the girl in his dream. But when he starts looking around, Eco and Silvia are missing.
Back to Eco and Silvia who argue about who's the one at fault that they're lost in the forest. In the end they decide toilet Ash judges but when they look back, Ash is nowhere to be found.
"Gaga" (well, the action sound in Thai, Japanese and English are mostly different so…)
Then they hear the roar, when they look at the direction the roar is coming from, they see a necromancer dragon. They are surprised and can't understand how can a necromancer dragon be here.
Silvia then calls for Lancelot, but there's no response. Suddenly the necromancer dragon attacks Silvia, but Eco saves her, but Eco gets ambushed by another necromancer dragon from the back. In the end, both Eco and Silvia are captured by tentacle.
Flashback:
The young Ash lets the girl rides him, intending to take her to the forest's entrance. But the girl resists, insisting that she has to become a breeder no matter what.
Ash has agreed to take her to Mother Dragon together. The two have been looking for Mother Dragon for a long time. They also have to evade from Basilisk.
Ash sighs and complains that they almost died. Ash tells the girl to give up but the girl replies that she will never give up. She definitely has to meet Mother Dragon. Ash tells her he understands and he'll accompany her until they meet Mother Dragon.
"Gring!" (well, the action sound in Thai, Japanese and English are mostly different so…)
Ash hears something but he believes it's probably his own imagination. But then he hears the voice again. Ash then asks the girl if she also heard the voice, the voice that seems to be a calling. But the girl replies she hasn't heard anything. Ash then says that maybe Mother Dragon is calling them. When Ash walks to where the voice is coming from, a bright light has covered them.
There is a weird hole in the air, inside is a huge white dragon.
"Can that dragon be Mother Dragon?"
Ash thinks. Suddenly he hears a voice inside his head.
"Ash Blake from Alba Village, I'll let you take care of an orphan (dragon)!"
But Ash shouts back.
"Don't joke around Mother Dragon! You're really stupid! I never wants any orphan. The one who needs it is this girl here!"
The girl is thinking.
"What is this boy talking about? Why can't I see Mother Dragon?"
Ash then asks Mother Dragon if he can give his orphan to the girl instead.
Mother Dragon keeps silent. Suddenly star-shaped tattoo starts to appear on Ash's left arm. Ash doesn't want to and instead touch the girl's chest with his left hand.
"This star-shaped tattoo, please accept it. This guy is now yours."
In the end, the star-shaped tattoo is transferred from Ash's left arm to the girl's chest.
"Wahh!?"
Ash's eyes open, waking up from the dream. He then sees a woman standing in front of him. The woman has green hair, emerald eyes and two horns like Eco and Narvi.
Ash asks who the lady is. The lady replies that she is Mother Dragon. Ash then asks her where Eco and Silvia are.
When he looks around carefully, he sees both Eco and Silvia laying unconscious. They seem like they're having a nightmare. Ash then asks Mother Dragon if both of them are fine.
Mother Dragon replies that she only used basic illusion magic, both the girls need to train more. Ash asks Mother Dragon that if she was the one who gave him Eco then she must be Eco's mother. But Mother Dragon refuses. She's only the system that the dragon sage created, not the girl's mother.
Mother Dragon also tells Ash that if Eco still can't control her own power, it might leak and causes some serious damage. She then gives Ash the Bracelet of Avalon.
If Eco wears the bracelet, she won't turn into her dragon form, in order to prevent the berserk state. When she finishes, she tells Ash it's about time she sends them to the forest entrance.
But Ash tells her he has come here in order to ask her something. It's about his missing memory when he was 7 years old.
Mother Dragon tells him that Lancelot is supposed to be Ash's, and Lancelot is also a high class dragon descended from Avalon lineage too.
Ash asks her if it's for real. Then Lancelot must be Eco's relative. Ash then asks her why she didn't give Silvia an orphan.
Mother Dragon replies because Silvia doesn't have the quality to become a dragonar. (What's the deal with that anyway?)
Ash tells her that now he can remember up to the part where his tattoo disappeared. But what happened after that?
Mother Dragon then shows him the vision.
Flashback:
When Ash transferred his tattoo to the girl, Ash's left arm explodes. The girl is shocked and faints. Ash has lost too much blood that he also faints after the girl.
But Mother Dragon thinks that Ash has enough quality and potential. She then uses her power to restore Ash's left arm including star-shaped tattoo and send both of them to the forest entrance.
When Ash wakes up, he immediately looks for the girl. The two promises to become dragonars together. The girl gives her dragon doll to Ash so that he wouldn't forget the promise. When Ash returns to the church he has high fever and has to rest for 7 days. When he recovers from the fever, he can't remember what happened back then, but his hands still hug onto the doll.
Mother Dragon then tells Ash that if she let Ash's left arm missing like that then Ash would surely die from blood loss. The only solution she had was to give the descendant of Avalon to Ash so that his's left arm would regenerate.
Ash asks his last question, about why Eco has to be born to look like human.
Mother Dragon then asks Ash if he knows the race called Elf. Ash asks if she refers to Eckblood race. But Mother Dragon says not.
"In the ancient time, the Elf race also encountered the same problem as ours, they didn't have astral (I have no idea what it could be, maybe too much inbreeding and genetic defect that they become unable to have children). But they then chose to live and mate with human for their race's survival. In the end the Eckblood race was born."
Ash is surprised.
"Could that mean!?"
"Yes, Eco was born in order to give birth to the next generations. Eco has everything like female human has. (Mother Dragon should just shorten it down to "She was born to be ridden by you and gives birth to our children".) I can't answer your questions anymore. It's time to say goodbye."
Mother Dragon then sends everyone to the forest entrance.
After that everyone rest inside the church. Ash remembers about the bracelet and goes to Eco, but he finds Eco being gloomy.
Eco says.
"In the end, mother didn't want to meet her. Is it because I'm not a good child!?"
Ash says it's not that and consoles Eco. He then gives the bracelet to Eco saying that her mother sends it to her and Eco must wear it all time.
Eco asks Ash.
"I can't take it off even when I eat or taking a bath?"
Ash replies.
"No, you can't!" (this is the part I hate. Thai language will be "Yes, you can't!" but English is different.)
Eco then asks.
"Then, even when I sleep on the same bed as Ash, I'll still need to wear it?"
Ash then changes the topic. he tells Eco that Mother Dragon also asks him to tell Eco something else. It's that Eco is identical to human, she can also have children.
That night, Corset is back with the result of her investigation. When Silvia opens the archive, she finds that on the day of that orphan ceremony, she and Ash are the only participants.
Silvia immediately rushes to Ash and asks Ash if he's the boy from that time. Ash admits, saying he can remember everything now.
Hearing that, Silvia confesses to Ash.
"Ash! I love you!"
Silvia then jumps to hug Ash and kisses him, with Eco's outcry in the background.
