Chapter 5 - chapter 5

The guardian of the Wish Dragon wields an even more formidable weapon than the dragon itself, which allows them to maintain control over wish dragon. This power, never utilized by any previous guardian, is now being misused by Kaelara. The sole purpose of bestowing this power upon the guardians was to pacify the Wish Dragon's anger, as its unbridled fury made it difficult to manage. The god of the Wish Dragon has a singular objective: to fulfill people's wishes through the dragon. However, if the Wish Dragon fails to control his anger, it may harm others. To prevent this, the god has gives all guardians with a weapon to control the dragon, if it's necessary they can use it.

Each Wish Dragon's guardian is entrusted with a powerful weapon called the "Chain", designed to capture the dragon if needed. However, the Wish Dragon's docile nature has never necessitated its use. Still, some guardians have attempted to harness this power for evil purposes, but the Wish Dragon's deity has consistently intervened, eliminating those who abuse this sacred trust. Acquiring the Wish Dragon is akin to obtaining a priceless treasure, like a golden mansion. Many individuals strive to capture this elusive creature, but no one succeed.

"You dare not! Misusing your power will lead to severe consequences, tantamount to death itself." Wish dragon said.

Kaelara scoffed, "You think I'll cower in fear of your God? If He truly cared for me, I wouldn't have been imprisoned in this tree for so long.

(Kaelara is God's favorite guardian, which is why she was spared the death penalty for her transgression and instead received a 100-year imprisonment sentence. This highlights the fact that favoritism and discrimination can occur even in the most unexpected places.)

"If God had punished you with death back then, i wouldn't be facing this situation now."

Kaelara's anger is ignited by the dragon's words, and her eyes blaze with fury. She begins to chant ancient incantations, her fists clenched in rage. In mere moments, the echoes of her mantra resound throughout the sky, reverberating with intense power. As Henry and Xylia, frightened, reach for the truck door to make a quick escape, a colossal storm wave suddenly descends from the sky, crashing down to the ground with immense force.

The lightning bolts from the storm encircle the Wish Dragon, trapping it. The Wish Dragon is unable to escape, as the one weapon that can weaken it. As the lightning continues to strike, the Wish Dragon grows increasingly exhausted, ultimately leading to its capture by the guardian.

The wind was blowing with such incredible force that Henry and Xylia were clinging to a sturdy tree for dear life. However, the moment Kaelara captured the Wish Dragon, the wind suddenly ceased.

"Your wish will be granted, but keep in mind that if you desire additional wishes to be fulfilled, you'll need to provide me with sustenance... and (with a sly smile) you're aware of my preferred cuisine." Kaelara standing in mid-air, a few meters above the ground and said to Henry and Xylia.

With tears of joy and relief streaming down their faces, Xylia and Henry sink to their knees, their voices trembling as they offer their sincerest thanks to Kaelara, their words overflowing with genuine appreciation.

From that day forward, Henry and Xylia's lives underwent a remarkable transformation. Henry, who had previously lost everything, began to receive a string of unexpected good fortunes, one after another. Though he was initially incredulous, he gradually came to accept his newfound luck and continued to move forward with renewed hope and determination. Xylia, formerly a humble employee at Henry's company, has risen through the ranks to become Henry's manager, a remarkable turnaround in her career trajectory.

As time went on, Henry and Xylia's professional relationship blossomed into a deep and meaningful connection. They found themselves developing strong feelings for each other, and their mutual fondness grew with each passing day. They began to enjoy each other's company, often spending time together outside of work. While their colleagues may have gossiped or raised eyebrows at their close relationship, Henry and Xylia paid little heed to the rumors, too captivated by their newfound affection for each other.
