Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

The light took another hour to end, and when it did it did it with a bang; like the last dying breath of an ancient behemoth. Arthur just stood his place watching the barrier shining brightly for the last time with a bang, before everything became open and clear to him.

The entire world was now ushered in ruins! It seemed like a great sweeper passed here, cleaned and cleaved everything with no exception but for the pillar in the near, and the portal in the distance.

The light pillar extending in the horizon was still shining, dimly than before but it was still there.

"You two go ahead, and I will take the pillar and leave here," he said as he flapped his wings and rose to the sky.

"Tsk," Sara just sneered before she went behind him, going on a different way. During their wait inside the barrier, he gave them a great number of arrows, reaching a thousand one, and he entered his garden and made more of them.

He also armed them with a hundred doomsday and arrow of destruction arrays brought forth from the vault underneath the castle of the sky.

As for the warriors of his garden world, he just spread the news about the upcoming important battle, even interfered personally at dozen places, sealing many portals there to relieve the pressure over his warriors and let part of them be ready to help the two girls.

He also asked Agnus to be responsible for equipping those warriors with the best equipment he had, plus asking for any war machines that might help. He was pleased to see some ballistae, in different sizes, plus some catapults as well.

If he could he would ask them to build a castle out there, but time was ripe and he had only the window of a couple of days.

"Finally boy, you made it!"

The master's voice came with some joy as he expressed his relief. "Thanks master, now I will start hunting down other pillars than the ones near here," Arthur said as he planned to avoid all the stars nearby this one. "Might I ask how many pillars are situated near here?" he asked, as he wanted to be sure not to waste his time on a linked pillar here.

"There are seven more."

"Good," he replied before saluting his master, bowing his head in respect before going on and taking that pillar.

As he appeared in the star map, he closed his eyes instantly, as he wanted to check on the girls.

Not much time passed since their departure, so he instantly found them not far from the pillar. They were flying fast, but Sara seemed to be troubled by something else; constantly glancing around her like a scared cat!

"Don't worry, there is no danger in this world," his voice came to startle both of them, making them move away instantly from the direction of his voice. "Hahaha, never thought you would be startled by my voice," he laughed, amused by their reaction.

"You are… like a ghost?" Tina muttered with surprise over her face.

"That's me entering here with my soul, not body," he said, before adding, "Do you want me to come here with my real body?" with a wink and a playful tone that made Tina pause for a moment there.

He was just teasing her, after all he intended to spend a couple of days here with his real body, and enjoy the softness of her!

"Is this the place you kept taking pillars to?" Sara asked, as she wanted to make sure of her guess.

"And the castle of the sky," he said before adding, "but the shield is still raised, so you can't enter. If you try, you will be killed."

"By the shield?" she muttered, while not believing his words.

"By me," he chuckled like he was telling a joke, but the vibe he gave to her made her realize he wasn't! and his simple and direct answer made her evil thoughts inside to quill down for a bit.

She knew she wasn't a match for him, not before, not now, and perhaps never!

"When you reach the portal, go out there and make some bangs. I have spread the word already, and many warriors with good equipment and many war tools will come to your aid in hours. So, don't worry and make all the ruckus you want, but make sure not to go so far ahead."

"Why? I want to kill them all and have much fun!"

Arthur just smiled helplessly before waving his hand, and the next moment the scorpion queen appeared again, landing over the back of Tina, giving her an instant scare at first before curiously observing her.

"Take this little one with you, she also loves the same fun you adore much," he laughed as he said, before disappearing from the place.

"Oh, are we going to have fun?" the scorpion queen asked.

"We are going to kill endless warriors and monsters, is this fun to you?" Tina asked, testing her out.

"Wow, I love it! can I torture them a bit before killing them?"

"Hehehe, I like you little one, hehehe"

"Pathetic!"

As for Arthur, the moment he appeared in the star map he started first examining it. the stars near the one he was standing on top of were exactly seven, making him heave a sigh of relief. "Finally things started to be sorted out," he said as he glanced at the rest of the stars, examining them.

"So this group is also a connected group like this one here, and they are also eight stars in total. And that group is smaller, four stars, so I will exterminate them with the other sporadic groups before leaving these two connected groups to the last.

"I can risk not finishing that one before the pillars being activated, but as long as it's connected to my world and the portal is secured, I can be sure to have all the rest of pillars," he muttered before moving out towards a sporadic star.
