The Light Element Dragon
Caroline was even more puzzled by Garr's words. The House of Dali was one of the founding families of Demacia, and they had followed the House of Lightshield in their conquests, establishing a great and lasting legacy. When did they have such an ancestor?
She was about to ask a question when she suddenly remembered his appearance and realized: the old man wasn't talking about the House of Dali, but the House of Lightshield!
"You said you're a senior member of the House of Lightshield?"
"Hehe, yes, my name is Garr Lightshield, I am Jarvan's ancestor, and of course, yours too."
These words finally eased Caroline's tension a little, but she didn't completely let her guard down. There were still many things she didn't understand, and she couldn't be sure whether what this person said was true or false.
"When you said you needed me to continue the bloodline, did you mean I was pregnant with Jarvan's child?"
"Yes, don't you know that yourself?"
"Um... I really don't know, and the doctor just examined me not long ago and said I'm not pregnant."
"Haha, no wonder, you're carrying a dragon's child, it's hard for mortals to tell."
"Dragon Prince? Please be more specific."
Look at your belly.
After speaking, Garr opened his mouth and spat out a beam of golden light, which shone directly on Caroline's stomach. She instinctively tried to dodge, but how could she be faster than the light?
Finding herself unharmed, she stopped dodging, looked down at her stomach, and discovered a snake inside!
No, this isn't a snake. This little thing has two small wings on its back and two small horns on its head. It's curled up into a ball with its head and tail intertwined, and it's very cute.
"It's in my stomach?" Caroline asked, puzzled.
"Yes, this is the offspring you and Jarvan had. By the way, which Jarvan is this?"
"The fourth king, His Majesty Jarvan III Your Majesty, has only recently passed away."
"Four lifetimes... I wonder how many cycles of reincarnation have passed!"
Hearing this, Fiora and I were all completely confused. Caroline smiled and said she was also confused at the time, but understood after hearing the explanation:
Garr is not human, but an Elemental Dragon.
His elemental attribute is quite unique; it's Light Element. And as far as he knows, he became the last Light Dragon in Runeterra after his parents died!
Dragons and humans have a very unpleasant past. They were hostile to each other and fought each other to the death. In the end, humans won, and the dragons could only live in places far away from humans.
Dragons have a strange characteristic: if they grow up in the human world, they will take on human form. Garr was raised by humans.
His upbringing was not smooth; two giant dragons visited his village countless times, killing many people, including his adoptive parents.
Driven by rage, Garr transformed into a dragon and fought against the two ferocious dragons. After a difficult battle, he emerged victorious, only to learn at the last moment that they were his biological parents.
Garr had no regrets, because he had no feelings for his biological parents. Although he didn't know why he grew up in the human world, that was no longer important. To him, his adoptive parents were his true family.
The vast majority of villagers could not accept Garr's identity after learning it, and no longer regarded him as a member of the village; some even wanted to drive him out.
However, the village heroine, Jarvan, disagreed. To show her determination, she married Garr to silence the gossip.
That heroine was also an ancestor of the House of Lightshield. After becoming the leader of the village, she was called Jarvan I, Garr also changed his name to Garr Lightshield after her.
The couple later successfully conceived a child, which should have been a joyous occasion, but Jarvan tragically died during childbirth.
The death of Jarvan I made it impossible for Garr to live in the village anymore. He was forced to leave with his newborn child. Fortunately, the child had dragon blood and would not die easily.
Garr was illiterate and could only count from one to nine, so he named the child Jarvan II and solemnly told him that this was a family tradition. When Jarvan IX had offspring, he would be called Jarvan I again.
When children are young and don't understand, they listen to their fathers and don't care even when they grow up, so this name has been passed down...
Garr stopped there, saying that explaining the origins of the House of Lightshield was enough.
He then transformed into a giant dragon, displaying his majestic and awe-inspiring form! Caroline was completely relieved, knowing she would no longer be in danger.
She survived the fall into the sea because Garr sensed the presence of her offspring and protected her with his Light Element Strength.
The "little snake" in her belly is her offspring with Jarvan; of course, once it takes shape, it will resemble a human baby.
As for why Garr was able to live for so many years, besides the fact that dragons themselves have strong vitality, it was also related to his experiences, a point he did not elaborate on to Caroline.
At that moment, I thought of Shvana and Teacher Li. They also grew up in the human world and were hunted by dragons. Could it be that the dragons that hunted them were also their biological parents?
I cannot say for sure, but based on Garr's account, it is quite possible.
I used to Jarvan could transform into a dragon, but now it makes sense. He was originally a descendant of a dragon and a human, but I don't know why he turned into Earth Dragon after being bathed in the blood of Earth Dragon. His ancestor was clearly a Light Dragon.
After Garr finished speaking, he did not immediately send Caroline back. Instead, he took her straight up into the sky to a giant mountain in the heavens, saying that he wanted to see an old friend.
His old friend was an angel, also a user of the elemental power of light. He asked the angel to help grant Caroline the power of light, which was equivalent to the power of ascension.
This is why Varus and Sivir felt familiar when they saw her; their powers all came from the hands of angels!
After Caroline was strengthened, Garr sent her back to the mainland, warning her not to tell anyone else about it. Firstly, he didn't want others to disturb his peace, and secondly, he felt he didn't belong to this era.
Caroline agreed, so she kept it a secret from Jarvan until I brought it up today.
I felt a little embarrassed when I heard this, since I had forced her to say it. But it didn't matter; there were only a few of us here, and no one would tell anyone else.
Furthermore, when Jarvan returns, I plan to go with him to meet this Light Element dragon, and hopefully we can also meet the angels. Even if we can't get their help, we should at least make sure Jarvan gets a boost.
Caroline is not yet able to fully master the Ascended Power, and her pregnancy prevents her from practicing freely, otherwise she would be a great help.
