Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Arthur planned to bring the kids of the sky castle once the city's foundation was established. Also after solving the puzzle of casting the currency.

For him he knew it would be great to have more help. But as far as he could remember, anyone with good potential towards blacksmith was picked up by Agnus.

He watched her return with a large pile of papers, an ink and a brush. She started to work diligently over a table he summoned from his world.

He also asked Gege to inform Agnus about the part he would do later. He wanted him to be ready and make his men ready as well.

As for Deem and Gor, the two were now experienced in building cities. They didn't lack anything now but for the workers to dig deeply enough before laying out the foundation.

Arthur asked them to use nothing but the purple ore in that foundation. Despite the disagreement of Sara, the two complied with his wishes.

For Arthur he saw the purple ore as a strong defense against purple fire. He didn't want his gem to be ruined by the sudden attack of that sneaky bastard.

Despite lacking any access to this part of the world, Arthur didn't feel secure. He knew that snake would never stop trying to come at him at any chance.

So he had to put the worst case scenario in front of his eyes. And that would be by using the black curtain to unleash the deadly purple fire.

As for the stability of the ore, luckily they didn't need to do anything but to lay it down. As long as nothing physical touched the ores, they would remain docile.

So Arthur had to stress over this point. He didn't want any clash of energy caused by the workers to ignite a disaster in his city.

Deem and Gor felt stressed over this point, but they promised him to do their best. Arthur trusted them but kept an eye over the workers thanks to the tree of mirrors and Gege.

When Sara finished, Arthur started to examine the drawings she had. "So… These are the symbols they use?" he looked at her without understanding anything from the drawings.

First time he heard about these symbols, he had a thought in his mind. For instance he thought fire would be presented by a burning flame, wind with a small gust of wind moving dust, and water with a wave of a sea.

But the symbols he held in his hands were all made in lines. He examined them all and never felt any familiarity with any of them.

"Weird, right?" she seemed to enjoy his expected reaction, "I also felt the same at first. However, after understanding the basic idea, everything will make sense."

Arthur shrugged but said nothing. He wanted to hear that idea to understand these weird lines.

"They see things with a different eye than us," she slowly explained, "they can see energy in its purest form. So fire to them aren't flames, but lines rising from one point to the sky. Water for them isn't lakes, seas, or oceans. To them it's curved parallel lines moving in synchronicity with each other."

Arthur could finally find two pieces of symbols that resembled what she just said. "So this is fire," he raised one paper with lines emanating from a single dot, "and this is water?" and on the other hand he raised a paper with curved lines parallel to each other.

"Yes," Sara nodded.

"Then what about wind?"

"They say wind is more explosive than fire. So its symbol is made of chaotic lines that intercept together and move towards one direction in general."

Arthur looked and found a few drawings with chaotic lines. "Which one of these?" he raised them in the air and asked.

"This one is a tornado," Sara pointed towards one symbol before adding, "it's moving towards the sky from the ground, from below upwards. As for this one…"

She pointed at another drawing before adding, "It's the shockwave after any explosion. The wind moves in all directions like you can see, emanating from one point."

Arthur looked at the two symbols she just clarified before pointing to one and asked, "what about this one? It looked like a shockwave to me."

"It's the purple fire symbol," Sara's face changed slightly before adding, "they said purple fire is like a shockwave, but acts like a bringer of death to everything they meet in their path. So they represent it in chaotic lines emanating from a single dot like shockwave, but the chaotic lines form many dots along their paths as they kill as they advance."

Arthur noticed the small dots in the paths of these chaotic lines. In fact he couldn't find anything weird about their description for the purple fire. This fire acted exactly like they described.

Sara started to elaborate more about the symbols she drew. The number of symbols she drew was too much. It surprised Arthur when he realized the great number of them.

He thought the symbols would only represent the main energy of the universe. However the more Sara explained, the more surprised he became.

There were symbols for main and auxiliary powers, also for some neglected forms of power like gravity, sealing, and even ascension.

Everything in the universe that could be described as power was represented here. Also feelings were also represented like calmness, coolness, and even rudeness were represented as well.

But Arthur didn't care about emotions. He didn't see any use for symbolling emotions and using them in a fight.

But Sara had another opinion of her own regarding this.

"These emotions are the real deal here," she said in an excited tone.

"I can't see anything remarkable about that," Arthur said in a cold tone, "they won't help us in our quest."

"They will if we used them right," Sara said in more joy as she realized Arthur missed their great use. "For example if we used the emotion calmness with the purple ore, we'll be able to control its berserk nature."

"…"
