Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 744 - Hector And Miminga

Chapter 744 - Hector And Miminga

-----

Miminga looked at Hector's eyes as she was filled with many emotions, those times when they spent their childhood together emerged once more inside of her mind, as she couldn't help but see that the handsome young human man in front of her was that same boy from back then, the boy that didn't discriminate her despite being a lizardman, the human that even said she was always pretty and cute every day… The one that conquered her heart.

Hector who had not stopped thinking about her ever since then was filled with many emotions as well, an indescribable happiness took over his heart as he hugged her tightly, having recovered his strength, he sat down over the ice wolf and hugged the tall lizardman woman beauty. Miminga received his hug with another, as the two embraced in a tight, warm, and lovingly hug. Feeling the warm of the other comforted them greatly.

"Miminga, it is really you! I am so happy… I have been thinking about you every day, there hasn't been a single day where I had not thought about you… I am so happy to see you alive, to see you doing so well…" Said Hector, the young and strong man was being overly emotional, as even his voice was excited like a child to see his childhood friend.

"I-I am also happy to see you, Hector… I was even thinking you died or something, this entire battle… I thought…" Muttered Miminga timidly, as Hector looked into her eyes.

"No, I am okay. I survived, all thanks to you…" Sighed Hector, he had drank two Health Potions made by Drake's clones and his alchemist group, so he was obviously going to recover quickly.

"Hector… I-I was so worried, I immediately realized it was you when I got closer to you and I desperately made you drink those potions, sorry…" Sighed Miminga.

"It is okay… I… Ah, this is a bit awkward now, it had really been a long time. I have so many things I want to tell you… So much we need to talk about…" Sighed Hector.

"Me too, I have so many things to tell you as well, I have to explain you why I left you, and why… I came back as well…" Sighed Miminga.

The two were in the middle of a battle, but the enemy troops were going down more easily now, it seems that the general was not just a giant and that was it, his very presence emanated a power that enhanced the rest of the troop's power, now that he was defeated, the rest of the troops power was lowering. Drake had experienced the same thing when he slain some giants himself in the main army, they were specifically modified to be giant, muscular, with high defense, and the power to make everybody stronger through strange methods.

Thanks to having slain this general, the army sent to the village weakened, and the Pastoralists in conjunction with the people of the village began to quickly put down the last foes, with no more giant miasmic monsters alive as they were all slain as well, the savage lizardmen fell down one by one, most of them frozen into ice statues and then broken down into pieces.

Seeing how things were finally calming down, Miminga decided to speak with Hector who was looking at her rather intensively, ready to hear whatever she had to say, she felt a bit doubtful, thinking he might hate her if he knows the truth, or maybe even hate her father…

"Hector, when I tell you the truth… Please, don't hate me or my… parents." She said.

"…I won't." Said Hector, nodding confidently. "I would never hate you… nor those that brought you to life, Miminga. No matter what."

"Hector…" Miminga sighed in relief, as she mustered the resolve to speak.

"My father is the chief of our tribe, the Pastoralists…" She said.

"The pastoralists?! So you were really from that tribe that once tried to create a peace treaty between you and our Village…" Sighed Hector. "I heard that it was ruined because the chief… was killed by one of the sect disciples, that man is still here, actually…" Hector sighed while looking at Miminga.

"I see… Well, that chief was my father's father, my grandfather." Said Miminga. "My parents knew about you for some time, but they let me be… However, as time pa.s.sed, they? began to grow more and more concerned about the humans, thinking that you'll suddenly betray me and bring humans to our home… I knew that you would never do that, but my parents back then had a hate against people… And they forced me to do it… I… I still regret it but I couldn't do anything in that situation."

Hector heard Miminga's words as he was finally enlightened over the reason of her disappearance, it all made sense now, and it was also… quite sad. But he found logic behind it. Of course they would find it frightening if a human child were to know where she lived, and there were many times when Miminga wanted to invite him to her house so he could meet her parents and the rest of the lizard folk… But it was impossible at the end.

"I see… So that's why you left… You left me a memento though, do you remember it?" Asked Hector.

"Memento- Ah! Y-You kept that tooth?!" Asked Miminga in surprise, covering her face in embarra.s.sment as Hector showed her the thread with the tooth she had given to him, it was such a small little thing, but it was Hector's treasure.

"Since you gave it to me that I've treasured it more than anything…" He said. "It is the most precious thing to me, and it really means a lot too… I've kept it with me hoping that one day I would meet you again, as I grew older, I began to think that it might be impossible at the end… But here you are, Miminga…" Said Hector.
