《Reborn as a DRAGON》Chapter 121: The plan
Advertisement
Hearing Essie's confirmation, and the fact that our targets were all younglings, I had a general idea about the situation at hand. Those younglings should be Ember's siblings. I didn't know If attacking them head-on was the smart thing to do, especially since they held the home advantage, not to mention the absence of an adult dragon.
Recalling how our parents were missing as well, I roughly guessed that there must be some sort of meeting or whatnot that required the adults to attend leaving us younglings behind. 'Though technically, I'm not sure I can still be considered as a youngling,' I inwardly mumbled.
With my sudden increase in size and the fact that I already finished my rite of passage, 'I should somewhat be considered a grown-up?' My thoughts wandered as we followed the less of the wind under Essie's guidance.
Immy and Sidus who were flying by side suddenly drew closer, Immy was the first one to speak.
"Brother, I'm sure you already noticed but It seems like we are heading straight to their nest," She said with a hesitant face.
Sidus continued with a serious expression, "Had it been any other time, I would have mocked her for being a coward, but she's right, no matter what I don't think It's wise to fight them there,"
Immy completely ignored the first part of what he said before adding, "I'm not concerned about the younglings, we can take care of those no problem, while you brother take care of this Ember," She said with a flash of confidence passing through her eyes before continuing, "My main concern is the adult dragon coming back suddenly only to find us wreaking havoc in his or her home,"
Nodding, Sidus added, "There's always the possibility of not only one but two adult dragons," He said in a solemn tone.

Hearing what they said, I slowly nodded. I was honestly impressed, I didn't think they'd take all of this into consideration, and was considering how I should take care of this and make them understand, so seeing them still cautious despite the rage that bubble inside, I felt strangely proud.
Glancing below me, Ynos was soaring through the sky with a bloodthirsty grin plastered on his face, a sigh escaped my mouth, 'Well at least he didn't rush ahead alone like before, so progress I guess?' I inwardly mumbled before turning to Immy and Sidus.
"Although adults are not supposed to meddle in the affairs of the younglings, It would be a different matter if we were directly attacking their lair, so our best course of action would be to lure them out of it," I spoke in confidence.
Sidus and Immy nodded in understanding as If they had long since expected my answer before asking.
"Do you have any plans on how to lure them out, brother?" Asked Sidus, while Immy listened carefully.
A chuckle escaped my mouth as I glanced downwards towards the golden dragon that didn't seem to care about anything else, "Haha, that's easy, we release Ynos," I grinned.
"R-Release...Ynos?" Immy stuttered uncharacteristically in confusion, Sidus was no better as he glanced about in surprise.
"What do you mean brother?" He asked.
"Ember is a very arrogant fellow, even back in the naming ceremony, It's like he can't stand not being the number one whenever he goes, he is strong I admit but very rash," I said while shaking my head.
Immy paused for a second before asking, "If so, why send Ynos and not you brother?"
"Heh, I'm afraid he won't show up if he knows I'm here. The last time we fought, he almost lost his life, though he could have already moved past that and might even want a rematch, I don't want to risk anything, so Ynos will lure him out of the lair,"

"The other younglings will follow after him, that's almost certain," Added Immy.
Grinning, Sidus continued, "And we take care of them all in one full swipe,"
Hearing that, I replied calmly, "I don't care about the rest, Ember is mine,"
My siblings nodded in understanding before Immy asked in a whisper, "How are we going to get Ynos to follow the plan?"
"En, he might consider It to be too cowardly, and say something along the lines of how we should just crush them head-on, no matter the place," Agreed Sidus.
I was about to reply when Essie who was quiet all this time spoke for the first time, "C-can you leave that to me?"
Smiling gently, I replied in an encouraging tone, "Sure!"
Nodding, she slowly stood up and jumped from atop my head before flying towards Ynos and settled atop his. He seemed a little surprised at her sudden appearance as he reigned in his bloodlust, and tried to appear more gentle before speaking in a somewhat awkward manner.
"Uh...Are you okay Essie?" He asked to which she nodded before replying in a cheerful tone.
"I'm better now!"
Nodding approvingly, Ynos continued, "That's good! Of course, you are not so weak that some bastard named Ember can handle you, hmph he must have used some dirty methods, otherwise, how could he even catch you in the first place, despicable, just his name is despicable enough!" He grumbled.
"Brother Ynos, you know he was named by the king, right?" Whispered Essie as her eyes darted about nervously.
Hearing that, Ynos' body shuddered as he replied, "O-Of course, It's the person that's the most despicable! How could he defile the sacred name the king gave him by fighting without honor, tsk, he brings shame to his name and does not deserve it!" He said, to which Essie chuckled brightly.
"Hehe, yes, he is very despicable brother Ynos, that's why I want to pay him back for what he did to me," She suddenly said, her tone extremely serious as she spoke causing Ynos who was about to reply to halt before he slowly nodded.
"What do you want me to do?" He asked.
"Please lure him out of his cave, and help brother Sidus and sister Immy take care of the other younglings, the sky is my domain, so it's disadvantageous for me if we fight inside," She explained to which Ynos nodded in understanding.
"It's your fight little sister, I'm only here to help you get your revenge. Don't worry, I'll get that shameless bastard out of his hole," He said reassuringly to which Essie smiled brightly before answering.
"Thank you brother Ynos!" Saying that she swiftly hopped off from on top of his head and flew towards us before settling on top of mine.
"Not bad," I muttered.
"Brother Ynos is very nice, he just doesn't know how to express himself very well," Explained Essie with a sweet smile causing me to pause in surprise.
Before I could say anything else, Immy's voice reverberated in my ears. "We arrived,"

Hazelsong: A LitRPG Novel
Release Schedule: I will be moving to a set release schedule as of 1/1/2022. A new chapter will be released every Saturday at Noon EST. If I have time that week for a second chapter, I will leave a note on the Saturday chapter and post the second chapter on Sunday at Noon EST. An up to date character sheet for the MC Erik will also be posted on Sundays at 12:15 PM. If life happens and I am for some reason unable to write that week, I will post a blank chapter giving you an update on where I am with my writing. Saturday Noon EST: First weekly chapter Sunday Noon EST: Second weekly chapter (if I have the time) Sunday 12:15 EST: Updated character sheet Synopsis: Years after surviving a deadly accident, Erik struggles to come to terms with his painful disability. When offered the chance to playtest the world's first full immersion VRMMO, he wants nothing more than to retreat back into his secluded life, until he learns what Hazelsong really offers. An escape from the pain. Hazelsong is a world of magic and adventure, a place where friendships are formed, loot is won, and glory and fame are there for the taking. While the threats feel real and the stakes are always high, there is only one thing Erik is really in danger of. Forgetting which world is actually real. Story Themes: Hazelsong is a LitRPG novel that not only explores the fictional world of a realistic online fantasy realm but the life of a man suffering in silence from chronic pain and PTSD due to a significant physical injury and disability. Mental health is an important subject and we all know at least one person in our lives who has or is dealing with some form of mental illness. I plan on putting my best effort forward to represent these illnesses in a fair and accurate manner. Not as a cheap plot device to help make the protagonist more unique, but to help paint an accurate picture for those of us who have been lucky enough to not have to suffer in silence. About the Author: I am Ash Durra, general video game nerd and a connoisseur of fantasy and sci-fi of all shapes and sizes. Needless to say, I am not a professional author (B.S. and M.S. in Education, 8 years teaching). After really getting into LitRPG novels over the past several years, I found my way to Royal Road, which has inspired me to use my spare time to begin writing a story of my own creation. As this is a hobby, I am not writing and posting chapters on any kind of specific schedule at the moment, though my goal is to post on average 1-2 chapters a week. I am incredibly excited to share this story with others as I write it, and I look forward to any constructive feedback about how I can improve in my writing.
