Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

The chase kept going on for the entire four hours. The more time it went, the more teams that kept coming in their direction.

And that made Arthur more restless. And yet he kept his mouth shut and didn\'t say a single word about those teams.

Until they were already chased so near by these teams.

"They are just five minutes away," Arthur couldn\'t endure it any longer, "if you have any hidden cards up your sleeves, then it\'s the right time to take them out now!"

Doaf and Amera exchanged silent glances before the two of them nodded. The next moment they stopped running and stood there with a very calm smile on their faces.

"How much are there?" Doaf calmly asked.

"Over four thousands," Arthur answered, "and more are still coming from the direction of the city."

"That\'s barely enough," Amera slowly said.

"For what?" Arthur was still puzzled and frustrated by all this secrecy, "what are you two hiding from me? There is not a single ally near us!"

"But we are far enough from the city, right?" Amera asked as if she wanted to be sure they were far away from any help.

"If acting suicidal is your wish then I\'m glad to tell you that you honorably got your wish," Arthur couldn\'t help but shake his head out of helplessness. "Now what?" he asked while the faces of the distant mages kept getting clearer as they got nearer.

"\'It\'s time to show you something," Doaf said with a short laugh, "it\'s time to make you realize something…"

"What?" Arthur even waved both hands in the air and hit his thighs with them. He turned around, "there is no one here but us!"

The next moment the two took out strange cubics. Each held two in each hand before Doaf and Amera nodded to each other.

"Stay put and watch," Doaf said while raising both hands in the air, "you aren\'t the only one with a hidden realm he can access."

These words landed upon Arthur like thunder. His eyes went all rounded while watching the four cubes getting smashed to the ground, creating four gigantic cracks in the world around.

The cracks seemed like thunder tongues racing everywhere without pause. They moved to the sky, to the ground, and they reached areas far from the reach of the first group of mages coming hot at them.

These sudden silent explosions of the cubes alarmed the hostile mages, but it was too late to do anything.

The next moment the four cracks thundered in loud bangs before large number of mages appeared out of nowhere. The entire world changed and flashes of silver and blue lights kept flashing even in the sky.

And the mages who just appeared weren\'t polite or amazed like their enemies. The moment they came to this world they started to fight and kill.

Their enemies didn\'t stand a chance against such an attack. The number of these mages was huge. Tens of thousands of mages appeared all of sudden and their few thousand enemies were helpless against them.

"Enough!" Amera shouted before returning to stand erect again. In her hands the two cubes regained their previous form, intact without any scratch to them.

Doaf did the same and with that all the phenomenon that happened just now ceased to exist. Arthur stood at the back with a gaped mouth while the two started to laugh at him.

"See? You aren\'t the only one with secrets and hidden weapons here," Amera played with him while her smile kept growing.

"B- But…" Arthur moved his eyes between the two without knowing what to say. He was extremely shocked and didn\'t know how they did it.

"You are wondering why we didn\'t use this before, right?" Doaf\'s smile was very broad as he added, "we didn\'t gain such an advantage except after Amera\'s grandmaster decided to let go of her legendary artifacts to us."

Arthur\'s mind connected the missing dots and all of sudden things became clear to him. "So from the beginning… you all knew…" he muttered in shock while the two nodded.

"But this was easily seen from far," Arthur knew the only disadvantage such a way of fighting had.

"That\'s why we needed to make sure we are so far away from the city," Amera slowly said, "and this isn\'t the only trick we have."

She turned to Doaf before she and he started to run. They run all of sudden towards the direction of the city, leaving Arthur all alone.

"Stay back," Doaf shouted while getting away, "I promise this won\'t take long."

Arthur didn\'t know what to say until the two of them vanished off his sight.

"Gege…" he only said that and Gege instantly answered.

\'They are heading towards the rapidly retreating groups of mages,\' Gege said.

"They won\'t make it," Arthur knew what the two planned to do. They wanted to exterminate all the traitors they managed to lure out of the city.

Yet despite some groups already nearby, more were still further away. The time the two needed to reach these traitors wouldn\'t be enough to stop numerous thousands of them to retreat back to the city.

\'They will,\' Gege strangely said with a sudden laugh, \'you won\'t believe it!\'

Arthur suddenly recalled what Amera said before leaving. "What happened?" he couldn\'t resist his curiosity and asked.

\'Some of those groups are ones loyal to your friend, Aemie,\' Gege said, \'and strangely it seems all the last groups to leave the city are all formed of those loyalists. They are now striking a blockade and preventing anyone from retreating.\'

"Damn!" Arthur couldn\'t help but yell in excitement, "this time they overdo themselves!"

\'It wasn\'t them,\' the golden dragon finally spoke, \'it was that chick from before. Sad thing is she has a lover already and she isn\'t interested in men.\'

"You knew," Arthur suddenly recalled something, "you knew all along, right?"

\'Well, you can\'t blame us for not telling you,\' Gege laughed, \'the look on your face just now was priceless!\'

"Funny," Arthur tried to control his expression, "don\'t do this again."
