Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Despite this critical decision, they hung over the response coming from Aemie, yet they couldn't stop while waiting for it.

So they kept running towards the direction of the tower. In the meantime the monster was wreaking havoc behind.

Nothing stood in her way. She was like a death sentence to all.

"How did you find such a rare monster?" Amera couldn't help but ask while watching the brutality of the monster. "Even I can't handle her alone."

"I found it in your world," Arthur simply shrugged, "is she this strong?"

"Strong? She is unstoppable!" Doaf pointed to the monster while adding, "you are damn lucky, y'know that?"

Arthur smiled without saying anything in return. In fact finding this monster was a mere fluke of luck. He didn't even look for it and in return she was so desperate to get inside his garden world.

And to add to his luck the Golam lake seemed to be so critical to her. That gave him the leverage to strike such a deal with her.

In fact he knew in other conditions, he would never be able to even get near her. But he wasn't regretting being lucky, after all luck was part of his strength.

"Do you plan to use her in the next fight?" Doaf couldn't help but ask, "do you plan on bringing her with you later on?"

Arthur understood his meaning and so he evilly smriked. "I believe it's not against the laws of the world to take her back with me, right?"

"Evil," Amera couldn't help but say, "with her by your side nothing can stand in your way."

"Don't take me wrong, but convincing her took roughly most of my wealth," Arthur said and the next moment the two gave him a skeptical gaze.

"Liar," both of them said simultaneously, which made the three laugh together.

And with this laughter, all the tension caused by their argument just now was gone.

"Woosh!"

The answer came from Aemie within half an hour. The strange thing was that the answer was sent to Arthur, and not to Amera.

"Is it hers?" Amera jumped instantly to stand beside him while Doaf came as well. Arthur gave the two weird looks before he opened the bird's wing.

And in front of him was Aemie's answer. On contrary to their expectations, she only send one sentence:

"Follow Willy's instructions."

"What?" Amera couldn't believe her eyes before turning to check the other side of the paper. Yet there was nothing there. "This is it? Only this sentence?" Amera seemed to be surprised by this unexpected answer from her grandmaster.

"She already said her decision," Arthur let the bird's wing burn while Doaf added, "she trusted Willy, and we have to have faith in him as well."

"B... But..."

"There is no room for hesitation anymore," Arthur said in a strong tone, "if we want to do it then we have to start moving now."

"..."

Amera didn't speak yet her face told the two beside her how satisfied she was. Yet as Doaf simply described it best before, the decision to make such a critical decision didn't lie in her hands.

But in her grandmaster's.

"What do you want us to do?" Doaf ignored her shock and directly asked Arthur.

"We are almost so close to the tower," Arthur said after consulting for a moment with Gege, "so doing it here will be perfect."

"So we are going to destroy the world by our hands, perfect... Just perfect..." Amera was still objecting on his plan, at least in saying it out loud, "what do you want from me to destroy my world?"

Arthur didn't like her depressed and enraged mood, but he didn't point to any of her remarks. "You two will lead most of the army," Arthur said, "start first with the teleportation portal, also try to add a sealing array inside."

"As if it might help," Amera sneered and Doaf simply gave her a silent warning gaze before turning to Arthur.

"What about you?"

"I'll take some of the army with me," he said before warning, "I will take most of the mechas with me. I'll only leave part of it with you."

"What about her?" Doaf asked while Amera was only shaking her head in depression.

"I'll leave her here," Arthur knew the fight here must look desperate for them to defend. If he didn't leave his best weapon here with them, some smart lycans might suspect his real intentions.

Plus he was pretty sure the fight intensity here would be so severe. If they lost here, then he wouldn't be in a better position later on.

"Great," Doaf said while turning to Amera, "at least we can sit idle while she does all the work."

"Humph," Amera turned her head away as she wasn't convinced by any of his words. She didn't see any logic in this plan, and for her it was pretty much equal to destroying the entire planet.

She was asking herself over and over again about the reasons her grandmaster took such a decision. She seemed also angry towards the way Aemie decided to relay her orders.

Aemie didn't trust her; it seemed to deliver the answer correctly. Something like that made her feel more pitiful and enraged.

In fact deep inside her soul she knew part of her already thought of doing so. The bird's wing could easily burn if she just let it go, and like that no one would ever know what Aemie sent as an answer.

But it seemed her grandmaster already saw through her. Despite that she still felt angry from this lack of trust, something she felt as a crack happening between herself and her clan.

Yet no one of the two beside her knew what was going inside her mind.

"So we will start now?" Doaf asked.

"First call off the army here," Arthur thought, "this sudden move will definitely attract the attention of everyone there."

"If so then they will notice your actions," Doaf expressed his worries.

"Don't worry," yet Arthur already had a solution for that, "I'll start walking away now."

"Now?" Doaf was surprised by his answer, "but..."

"Don't worry," Arthur smiled in confidence before waving his hand, "I'll leave it here. Make sure that at least two thirds of the mechas enter through here led by someone named Nara," he said before turning around.

"Also send in my werewolf and half of his forces," he said before pausing. He met Amera in the eye. Something told him she was planning to do something foolish, yet he couldn't guess what it was.

He resisted the urge to ask her about that. "Be sure to be safe," he simply prayed luck for the two of them, and mainly to her before he finally moved away.

The direction he walked towards wasn't anything towards the tower. In return he also canceled his dragonair transformation.

Ending up in his human form, he seemed so tiny and in no time he vanished from their sights.

"Sigh, I hope he knows what he is doing," Doaf simply said before turning to Amera and hesitated for a moment. "Are you ok?" he couldn't help but ask.

Amera just glanced at him without saying a single word for a long minute. She then took a deep breath before turning her head away. "Let's go," she started moving, "that reckless young master of yours is already on his way to that tower."

Doaf didn't know why but he suddenly felt unease coming from her. Yet he couldn't tell the reason or even dared to speak about it. All he could do was to follow her steps.

As for Arthur, as he kept running fast towards the west he asked Gege to bring him updates about the two's actions.

'They started to move towards the army,' Gege said, 'they are following your plan.'

"Sigh, just keep an eye on me," he said, "I feel she is planning something bad."

'You can't blame her,' the golden dragon seemed to defend Amera's stand, 'she doesn't understand why her master is doing all this.'

'Ding! Don't forget her master chose you to give the answer, not her.'

'Can you blame Aemie for that?' Gege sneered, 'I bet everything that Amera planned to burn the message and change its content if she received it.'

"No use in talking about that now," Arthur couldn't take their discussion, "we have little time frame here. Keep an eye over the enemies. Once they move after Doaf and Amera tell me so I can move towards the tower."

'What about the monster?' Gege said, 'Do you want me to inform her about her role in that?'

"Indeed," Arthur totally forgot about that before adding, "let her defend the arrays until they are fully launched."

'Got it,' Gege then went to do her tasks while Arthur asked:

"Now can you tell me about the array I need to do at the tower?"

'It's a simple array,' the golden dragon casually said, 'what you need is already available in abundance inside Gege's garden.'

"No problem in being prepared," Arthur slowly said, "inform Gege about what you need and let her prepare these things. And now start telling me how to make it."

'Alright,' the golden dragon then started to explain everything related to this array.
