Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

It was such a giant statue picturing in clear skill a dragon coming up from a man! Its upper half was a face of a man while the rest of the body pictured a changing from human to dragon.

"Is this her aim? For what?" he didn't know what she aimed to do with the statue. Just as the statue was raised above the level of the water, Sara appeared holding its lower pole with her claws.

She headed towards the shore of the pond, carefully putting this statue straight on the ground before she stood in front of it, marveling its beauty.

"What will you do now?" he muttered to himself before he noticed she took out a piece of paper and a pen before writing something on it. "A bird's wing?!" he was very surprised by this. "So you aren't alone in this treason?"

He wanted to ask Amelia if anyone there had received a bird's wing just now. Yet he paused, as this seemed something he or she couldn't judge!

"There is no way to know, then…" he glanced at her as he watched the paper burning down. "You will tell me everything one way or another," he ruthlessly said before he started to move.

"What the hell?!!"

Just as he took a couple of steps forward, he was forced to stop. A sudden flare appeared out of nowhere startling him. The next moment, a bird's wing fell in front of him.

Catching it with his hands, he was so skeptical right now. "Did you send this to me?" he muttered before he opened the paper and read what was written inside.

"Come to this location, there is something you must see."

This was her writing, and the message contained a rough drawing from the city to here using the river branch. He glanced for a few minutes to the paper then raised his head towards her. "Did you realize my presence then?"

He was feeling much doubt right now, but he had no way to tell. "Let's play a fool then," he decided to play along with her and wait for a few hours here.

The night fell, and just during this time he kept his vigilance towards her –watching every single move she did! Yet even after a few hours had passed, she didn't do more than sit there and glance all around.

"Is she acting this good or I misunderstood her?" he was now questioning himself, yet his gut was telling him that something was fishy here.

However so far she didn't do anything more suspicious than coming here out of nowhere without informing him. This alone was enough to suspect her, yet her summoning of him complicated things.

"Alright, it's about time to show up," he muttered before channeling his energy and turning into a dragon. He appeared from the darkness of the night and befell heavily beside her.

"Finally you decided to come," she said welcoming him, with such an obvious boring tone.

"Sorry, the distance was so long," he lied before glancing over the statue like he was the first time seeing it. "What is that?"

"It's something I had some info about from the soul I consumed," she said, and he glanced shortly over her, not knowing if she was telling the truth or lying like him.

"That's interesting," he said before returning to marvel at the statue again. "What's all this about?" he asked.

"It should be a portal leading to another world," she replied before walking to the statue standing erect there as she touched it with her claws. "A world that had many dragonair's relics."

"Relics?" he glanced for a longer period. 'She didn't know about my cursed book incident,' he thought and decided to play along with her. "What are these relics?"

"I dunno," she shook her head before adding, "but that old hag had many protection against this specific memory of her. She went inside once and came out with a technique to absorb souls."

"She invented the technique?" Arthur was surprised to hear that.

"Of course not," Sara seemed surprised by Arthur's line of thinking, "all the techniques hailed from this world," she said while pointing to the statue, "all the big clans here had such statues under their possession."

Arthur was now more surprised to know that. 'If so then Olor must know about this,' he muttered as Sara didn't know about his deal with Olor like others.

"Do you want me to go in?" he asked, as she now had an excuse for finding this place, but not a purpose.

"Of course this is up to you, I just wanted to show you this statue and tell you about its existence in every clan here."

Her logic wasn't bad but he wasn't that convinced. "Thanks for that, I will take it inside my garden then," he lied as he put his hand over the statue and the next moment it vanished into one of his storage rings.

His garden was so vast and she couldn't know where he hid it. As for her, she just smiled when he did so. "Let's go back now, is everything alright in the city?"

"It's all over now," he simply replied, "is there any other hidden memories inside that soul?" he suddenly asked, and she calmly replied: "There are many."

'Damn! So she can do anything later and make it stick to the memories,' he felt this was a perfect excuse for her to escape any suspicion. "Alright, let's go back," he said before flapping his wings and rose to the sky.

She simply followed, and during their flight to the city she remained as usual, calm and collected. He started to notice the difference from Tina, as she always was the one to cause trouble and noise in this small team of three.

As they headed back, Arthur didn't stop thinking about his statue. 'Time to meet Olor then,' he decided, and the moment he reached the city he found Amelia waiting for him.

"How is everything going?" he asked, with a distracted mind.

"It's alright," she said, before being much embarrassed, "you said you wanted to see me when you come back, right?"
