Chapter 558 A Date With Draconia: Finding Joy In The Chaos
As we made our way to the entrance of the rides, I saw all kinds of people; couples out on dates, families having fun together, little kids screaming in delight, and more. Everyone seemed happy and full of joy, and it was nice to see them, even if they were just dolls.
When I first built the place, it felt empty and hollow, so I started to add people, but this time I waved my hand, and the people started to clear out until there were only people operating the rides and stands. I finally had a world of real people that could fill this place, and people could come and visit, not just gods and goddesses.
After buying our tickets, Draconia and I headed right for the thrill rides, eager to get our hearts racing and adrenaline pumping. The first ride we went on was one called 'ThunderBolt,' and it was an absolute blast! We whipped around curves and loops, soaring through the air for what felt like an eternity until, finally, we came to a stop.
"That was incredible!" Draconia exclaimed, her eyes wide with amazement.
"It sure was," I agreed, still feeling the rush of being thrown around high up in the air.
The next right was called the Universal Meal Dumper, and it was one of the craziest rides that I had come up with. It was a rollercoaster, just not on tracks, and the single two-seater cars we rode in were snakes that flew at extreme speeds, and each ride was a different length of time. There were also three buttons just before you went on.
<Loss of lunch(Basic Bitch)>
<Loss of consciousness(Risk Taker)>
<Risk of Death(Not Recommend)>
Draconia hit the third option over and over again until I finally pushed her into the seat on the back of the flying snake and held on while we flew through the air. We screamed and laughed our way through the ride, and when it was finally over, I had to admit that it was worth every second of terror!
After several more rides, Draconia and I were both exhausted, so we decided to take a walk around the park and see what else there was to offer. We found ourselves in front of a large stage with several smaller stages all around it. The sound system seemed to be huge, and it was playing some pretty awesome music. A few people were already dancing near the stage, and when we asked them about it, they said that several bands were going to be performing tonight.
"Oh wow, this is great!" Draconia exclaimed, her eyes wide with excitement and anticipation as she looked around.
"Yeah, it looks like it's gonna be a good show," I agreed and then smiled at Draconia. "You wanna watch the show? I know you've wanted to get out and do something fun."
Draconia nodded eagerly and said, "Yes, let's definitely come back later and watch the bands; that way, we can enjoy their performance and have a nice night out without actually having to put any effort into it!"
I chuckled and nodded before leading us toward one of the food stalls. As we ate, Draconia and I talked about various topics ranging from politics to everyday life problems. Over the course of the conversation, I could feel my bond with Draconia growing stronger, and I knew that no matter what happened, I'd always have her as an ally, friend, and confidant.
When the time came for the concert, we returned to the stage and watched as the first band performed. It was amazing to hear live music, and although the bands weren't exactly my style, I couldn't help but be moved by the skill of the musicians and the emotion of the songs. As the concert went on, I glanced over at Draconia, who seemed to be lost in her own world, swaying along to the beat and singing along with each lyric - though not very loudly or clearly. But I supposed that was okay because it was something special to just see Draconia enjoying herself.
"Are you hungry?" I asked after the music stopped, and she turned to me with a big smile.
"When have I ever said no to food?" She retorted, and I smirked.
"Alright then, let's go get something to eat," I said, and we went off in search of food. After getting something to eat, the night eventually faded away, and soon enough, it was time for us to find the others.
As we made our way back, Draconia looked over at me with a smile on her face and said, "Thank you so much for today, Galio; it meant a lot to me."
I smiled back, happy that she had enjoyed herself. "It was my pleasure, Draconia; any day spent with you is something special," I said, and she blushed slightly before snuggling up against my side as we continued walking.
"I still want to fight, but this was a nice thing that I haven't done for too long. You know, Cherry is going to make a good Goddess in my place. I heard that she will be coming home soon, and I, for one, am glad," Draconia said, and I looked over at her with a smirk.
"You that excited to have a real child?" I teased and then groaned as she drove her heel into my shin, making me stumble a bit.
"Of course, I want a cute cat like a dragon girl, but Dragons are constant problems and fight, but not for fun as much as they should. All the elders are older than I am, so they challenge me, and I send them back to heal for a year before they come again. It has gone to the point where none of them even speak because I have had to hurt some of them badly, and they bore great scars from it. I just want to be done fighting my friends and them always going for my throat," Draconia said, and I was forced to stop.
