Dragon King's Harem Chapter 295. Solaris I

Exiting the portal was like stepping into a completely different world. Gone was the pristine room of the Healer tribe's palace, replaced by a breathtaking landscape that stretched as far as the eye could see. It was nothing like the enclosed room; instead, it was an expansive, open field adorned with an array of colorful flowers. The suns, not the familiar twin red ones, but golden and radiant, cast their warm, benevolent glow upon this idyllic scene.

The temperature was akin to a perfect summer's day, comfortably warm but not oppressively hot. A gentle breeze caressed my skin, carrying with it the sweet fragrance of blooming flowers. This place was like a paradise, a sanctuary for dragons where one could bask in the serenity of nature.

The sheer tranquility of the surroundings made me feel like I could lie down and sleep, the gentle rustling of leaves lulling me into a peaceful slumber.

"I just need to find it," I muttered to myself, my voice lost in the gentle rustling of leaves and the distant hum of nature. My eyes scanned the vast expanse of the field, searching for any clues, any sign that would lead me to what I sought.

In the distance, not too far from where I stood, there was an altar. It stood solemnly, a structure of significance in this mystical place. Yet, that was not my destination.

With a powerful surge of my wings, I took to the sky. The exhilaration of flight coursed through my veins as I soared above the vibrant landscape below. The suns bathed me in their golden warmth, and the wind whispered secrets of the land as I pierced the heavens.

I hovered in mid-air, suspended between the land and the endless azure expanse above. My keen eyes scanned the surroundings, taking in the panoramic view of this magical realm. The colorful flora, the shimmering streams, and the distant, rolling hills painted a picture of unparalleled beauty.

But just as I was about to resume my search, a voice, soft yet compelling, called out to me. It was a voice that seemed to echo through the very fabric of this enchanted world, drawing my attention and curiosity.

"Are you looking for me, Dragon King?" The words, or rather, the sounds, were unlike anything I had ever heard. They didn't resemble human speech; instead, they flowed like a melodious tune from an otherworldly instrument.

I was taken aback, not just by the voice itself, but by the fact that Solaris, the legendary beast, was not in a deep slumber as I had believed. I had assumed it lacked the awareness or intelligence to communicate. Among the legendary beasts, Solaris was known for its gentle nature, which led me to believe that taming it would be akin to befriending a loyal hound. But now, it appeared there was more to Solaris than met the eye, or in this case, the ear.

"Yes, where are you?" I responded, my gaze darting in all directions, searching for the source of the captivating voice.

I scanned the surroundings. My eyes, trained to spot even the subtlest of details, caught something remarkable. To the north, a vivid rainbow had formed, embellishing the sky with its enchanting hues. The spectrum of colors intermingled with the clear, azure backdrop, creating a breathtaking sight that seemed to beckon me.

It was as if the aurora in the sky had blended seamlessly with the brilliant clarity of the day. This celestial display, so unexpected in this serene realm, appeared to be a message. The rainbow pointed the way, guiding me towards my elusive goal. It was an invitation from Solaris.

Drawing strength from the beautiful rainbow's guidance, I soared through the sky, propelled by the powerful strokes of my wings. The melodious harp sound became increasingly distinct as I approached its source.

And then, there she was, like a mystical vision brought to life. A female elf, her eyes veiled with a soft cloth, sat by the serene riverbank. Her silver hair cascaded like a shimmering waterfall down her back, an ethereal contrast to her surroundings. What truly set her apart were the magnificent golden wings of a bird, unfurled regally from her back.

At that moment, everything became clear. I recognized her instantly, for there could be no other. She was Solaris. Her serene presence, the enchanting harp music that resonated through the air.

With a gentle flutter of my wings, I descended gracefully, landing on the soft ground not far from her. The harp's enchanting melody faded as she acknowledged my presence. As I drew closer, I offered a respectful nod and a warm smile, despite the surprise that had first gripped me.

"Solaris," I began, addressing her with reverence, "I just found out you can take humanoid form."

She remained serenely composed, her blindfolded eyes looking toward me, though I couldn't discern her gaze.

"Indeed," her response came like a soft, melodious whisper, an echo of wind chimes in a tranquil forest. "It is a form I assume to better interact with those who seek my presence."

"Makes sense," I said, settling onto a large moss-covered rock beside the riverbank."So what can I do to get you back?" I asked, my voice carrying the weight of my earnest intent.

Her harp's music grew even softer, as if contemplating my question. I watched her carefully, my curiosity mingling with a tinge of anxiety.

"I want to test your wisdom," Solaris replied, her voice akin to the mellifluous notes of a songbird, "and see whether you are still valid to bind a contract with me or not."

I nodded. "Ask your questions, Solaris," I said with unwavering determination, "and I shall do my best to answer."

"Ask your questions, Solaris," I declared, my voice steady despite my racing heart, "and I shall do my best to answer."

Solaris, with her blindfolded eyes and flowing silver hair, seemed to consider my words carefully. Her harp, resting gently beside her, echoed the calm of her demeanor.

"Very well," she said, her voice like a soothing melody, "I shall begin."
