An Extra’s POV

Adrien was silent for a minute or so.

During that period, he had a very important decision to make—whether or not to tell Rey about whatever he had going on with the Dragons.

Whichever option he chose had its own share of consequences, and it was up to him to decide what path to take regarding his reply. One thing was certain, though.

Silence wasn't an option.

"To go home."

Upon hearing Adrien's words, Rey's intense gaze flickered for a moment. His eyes softened considerably, though it resumed its hardened position in no time at all.

"Home…?"

"Yes." Adrien sighed, rubbing his face with his palm. "Hidden within the Dragon Empire is a way for us to return to Earth. A way for me to go home."

Rey couldn't believe his ears. He wanted to say Adrien was lying, but something within him told him that this was an unfiltered truth. As such, even though he parted his lips to speak, words refused to come out. He just stared.

"I need to gain their trust so that I can organically make it into the Dragon Empire. I have even been promised an introduction to a Lord. Once that happens, I'll be one step closer to the place—The Chamber Of Ancients."

"Chamber Of Ancients…?" Rey had never heard those words before, but somehow, they sounded familiar.

'Hold on… I think I once heard Adonis mutter something like that when I caught him training by himself one time.'

He didn't think much of it then, and even now he wasn't even sure that was what he heard. Still, the name sounded oddly important.
