Knowing More About this World.

He began to introduce himself with an impotent voice.

"Rejoice, for you are in the presence of one of the Six Greatest Dragons, the dragon of light, Driteluys."

We were all surprised when we heard he's one of the Greatest Dragons. I mean, ONE OF THE GREATEST!!! Meaning he must be as old as, if not older than, this planet or its moons.

"By one of the greatest, you mean that the one who attacked you was also one of the greatest dragons?" I asked barely keeping my balance. Then I sat down on a chair and asked, "You said that he is capable of noticing life and various energy readings, does that mean that he is the dragon of electricity?"

Driteluys responded "Well, not exactly, young hum--" He was interrupted before he could finish his sentence.

"It's Ion, Mr. Driteluys!!" I got mad and yelled at him.

"I see you've got guts, Miss Ion. Interrupting someone of high social level such as myself would get you and everyone you know killed."

At least he said my name this time. "I apologize, Mr. Driteluys."

"I shall continue," said Driteluys. "The one who attacked me was a follower of the Great Dragon of Earth"

"Before that, I'll explain who the greatest dragons are; The first Greatest Dragon is the dragoness of darkness, Eresire. The second one is me, the dragon of light, Driteluys, I am Eresire's twin brother. The third is the dragon of Earth, Hoghataratsk. The fourth is the dragoness of water, Jur. The fifth is the dragon of wind, Nefasi. The sixth is the dragoness of fire, Krak Isati. There was also Zamanak, the dragon of time, but he disappeared when the 6th God was born."

"Hoghataratsk, Jur, Nefasi, and Krak Isati were born at the same time," added Driteluys. "They were together as one entity, known as Altiniyn. Altiniyn separated due to some element counter-reaction."

"Zamanak was born before all of us, but he had disappeared before my sister and I were born so I don't know much about him."

"All of us were chosen by the gods. We were once nameless dragons following the current of life. The gods were in this universe centuries before we were even born. They went out of their way to give us their blessings."

"Who are these gods you speak of?" asked Ur.

"Patience, now," responded Driteluys. "I'll get to it"

I got myself a cup of tea to calm my nerves since Driteluys was going to talk about the Gods.

"The first God is the God of Existence, designer of all, Nidifi. His twin sister, the Goddess of Destiny, also known as the Goddess of the stars, Tsragiry. She gave her blessing to Zamanak. The third God is the God of Storms, Arashi. He eventually wasn't able to handle all the different types of storms in his time, so he created different entities known as his children."

"Wow" Said Cass, "There are that many gods in this world?"

*Hehe* He laughed. "Do not worry, for humans can't meet more than five Gods and Goddesses" *hmm*

I wonder what he's thinking about.

"Driteluys?" I called his name but he didn't answer.

After some time being quiet, he spoke.

"Well," he responded, "you may be able to meet more than five if they are either half-god or the younger ones. These are more like guardian deities."

"Anyway, back to the matter at hand. The fourth Goddess, the Goddess of the Forest, Chareni Ade. She is worshiped by the Elfs"

"What!?" Yelled Rocky and my brother.

Then asked, "There are Elfs in this world!?" by Rocky and "What God do humans worship then?" By my brother.

Rocky glanced at my brother and he said, "What? This is an important question y'know."

"I'll tell you about the races in this world later."

"Most humans no longer worship the gods." Driteluys sounded unpleased... *sigh* "There are still several religions that worship them." His normal voice came back, "I believe the major religions are in the capital of each kingdom. Very few to naught human settlements have deities they worship. "

"The fifth is the God of Astral Planes, Asitiroli. He, alongside Nidifi, created what is known as pocket dimensions. The smallest pocket dimensions are the size of that metal cart you have by the kitchen."

"You mean the cruiser cart? That's small," said Cass. "Then what is the biggest pocket dimension?"

"The biggest pocket dimension would be the size of your sun," responded Driteluys.

"How do you know the size of our sun?" asked my brother.

"I saw your sun's mass in that painting by the door."

"Ah, I see... I forgot about that."

"Didn't buy that a year ago? How could you forget?" I asked my brother.

"Well... I bought a lot of stuff then. How could I miss the chance when everything was very cheap that day? You never know when something might come in handy, and when you see something in a fixed place for a long time, you eventually forget it is even there," responded Yessac.

"Yeah, yeah, enough lecture. Please continue, Mr. Driteluys."

"Lastly, the Child of Existence, Menori Varliq. His powers were stabilized by Zamanak who carried Tsragiry's blessing. After being stabilized, Menori Varliq's powers gave more meaning to the universe than what the first deities thought."

"It's already nightfall. I will continue tomorrow. Be sure not to leave any lights on, or N.B.T.S. will be attracted to this house."

"What does that mean, Mr. Driteluys?" Asked Ur.

"It stands for nocturnal beasts. Some humans named them due to their immense appetite and hunting efficiency in the dark about 8-9 centuries ago. Foolish, if you ask me."

"Do you have any physical knowledge about your world?"

"I have some books on physics, chemistry, and other types of science books in my study." Said my brother. "The only problem is that the study is on the second floor. We won't be able to carry you there, I'm sorry."

"Don't worry, young man. I have rested enough to make myself lighter than before. That way only two of you need to carry me up this 'study' of yours." Driteluys responded. "I'm sure you won't make the women carry me, will you now?"

I don't know why but my brother seemed surprised then somewhat annoyed.

My brother got a carpet from under the kitchen table and put Mr. Driteluys' egg on top. "Come on, Rocky, we're moving this egg." It seems like what Mr. Driteluys said at the end annoyed him.

I went over to Ur and asked her, "Why does he seem... mad?"

"It's probably because of what happened at the entrance when the four of you could barely get him inside."

*In the distance* "You take that side, I take this side" said my brother.

"So Mr. Driteluys was making fun of him?"

"Yeah, I'd say it was pretty much that."

"As expected of an old man, I suppose."
