Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

'If I may,' the golden dragon said, 'I can suggest a new approach here... what about we send them bird's wings coming from someone already in this world?'

Arthur didn't understand his meaning at first.

'Like whom exactly?' Gege also didn't get what the golden dragon meant.

'Ding! Like the crow,' the system said it and the moment he did, Arthur understood finally what the two were trying to say.

"That's... a great plan indeed," Arthur didn't hesitate to add, "Gege, can you reach him?"

'He doesn't run so much away from us anyway,' the golden dragon said, 'for him we got separated a couple of hours ago.'

'But how am I supposed to convince him with that?' Gege didn't believe in her ability to make him believe her words. 'It's not that easy to accept the time travel concept y'know.'

"You got a point," Arthur nodded before asking, "can you pinpoint his location?"

'One sec.'

"Also send him a message," Arthur paused, "tell him to turn around and come back to meet me urgently."

'What about the task you just gave him?' Gege knew this would arouse more suspicion inside the crow's mind.

"Just tell him it's a matter of life and death," Arthur firmly said, "he won't hesitate to come even if he was doubting you."

'Sigh, why not also send a bird's wing to him?'

"I don't have his," Arthur shrugged.

'I bet Amera and Doaf have,' the golden dragon said.

"Alright, ask them then and whoever had the bird's wing can come out and ask him to retreat now."

Arthur turned his gaze towards the direction of the sect. "Things are going to get more interesting from now on. I shouldn't return yet to the sect, in fact I shouldn't even take part in the upcoming fight early on."

And as he muttered these words to himself, the layout of a plan started to appear clearly in front of his eyes.

"Woosh!"

The sudden appearance of Amera interrupted his line of thoughts.

"What now?" she aggressively asked, "shouldn't he have a job to do or what?"

Arthur could only smile helplessly before saying, "you two had enough fun already. Aren't you feeling any sympathy towards the poor crow who had none yet?"

"Humph," Amera didn't say anymore words before taking out a bird's wing.

"Come back urgently.... you are needed," she said what she wrote out loud before letting the bird's wing burn to ashes. "Satisfied?" She seemed slightly annoyed by calling the crow back for no obvious reason.

"Take it easy with him," Arthur slowly advised, "after all we know nothing about the fate of his world."

The moment he said this, the irritated face of Amera smoothened up and even he noticed a glimpse of sympathy in her eyes.

It wasn't just to discuss what they were going to do next in this world to the crow that he asked him to come back. As his aider in his crusade, Arthur knew his crow deserved to know the truth.

Even if they didn't know the exact fate of his world, at least he shouldn't hide something that big from him.

"I'm going to wait for him then," she said but Arthur shook his head.

"The lesser our numbers is the better," he said before adding, "plus you have to select your own boys to be sent all over the world."

"Yeah, that network of spies of yours," she said in a way that showed her discontent with his plan.

"Got an opinion about it? Spill it out," he said with a calm smile over his face.

"It's just not that hard to control this world with our forces," she said, "why take the trouble of being this slow?"

"It's being cautious," Arthur corrected her, "we still don't know how the higher up forces will react to what we did up there."

"We still have time."

"They can time travel as we did," Arthur didn't agree with her, "we talked about this before. We need to wait and make sure there are no hidden forces coming from higher realms at the same time as us."

She couldn't help but sigh. "What difference will it make? We can crush them simply by our current forces."

"We need to assess them first," he said before firmly adding, "and this is my final decision about the matter. Please go inside and finish selecting your people fast. It would be ridiculous for Doaf few forces to select their people before you do."

"Humph," she wasn't agreeing with what he was saying yet she moved back inside the portal Gege summoned.

He watched her vanish before he took a deep breath and started to accelerate in his flight.

"She... is really stubborn!" he couldn't help but complain out loud.

'She just wants to crush this world in the shortest span of time,' the golden dragon said, 'something tells me that she also is suspicious of Aemie's forces.'

"Who isn't," Arthur only said before asking Gege, "Where is the crow now?"

'He got Amera's bird's wing and my message,' she said.

"And?"

'He is still standing motionless with his forces.'

"Sigh, if I were him then I would have been suspicious of these changes," Arthur slowly muttered, "but in the end he'll come. Keep an eye on him for me."

'There is also another thing,' Gege said, 'it's about the sect.'

Arthur's eyes changed before he asked: "Is it Jim?"

'Some people from the sect,' Gege corrected, 'they are following Gor and Deem around the sect.'

"So they are growing restless already," Arthur's face showed a vicious expression, "if they tried to do something foolish this fast then I will be forced to act."

None of the three beings in his mind objected anymore. If things went south then he wouldn't hesitate to ditch any plans to the dirt and screw that traitor and his accomplices.

For him, Gor and Deem were two of the utmost importance. He would never risk losing even one of them here.
