Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

And yet here he faced this unexpected encounter, making him reconsider everything again.

And he didn\'t like that.

Yet contrary to his expectations, the interrogation didn\'t bring anything new. There were no traitors, only frightened mages who faced someone they couldn\'t deal with.

Or even understand.

Even Aemie seemed a bit startled by this info. Gege said she is staying silent and wandering the area around the leaders of her army like a restless bee queen.

Arthur thought of telling her what he knew, yet he dropped the idea instantly. Dealing with such a maniac shouldn\'t bring anything good for him.

He needed to retreat from here and leave these higher realms as soon as possible.

This war... it seemed to hide more than he even imagined.

If there were immortals and beyond cultivators involved, then his presence here was doomed to be fatal to him.

He needed time to grow up and get stronger. He wouldn\'t do anyone any good if he faced his death at this stage.

He suddenly started to consider something he never thought of. \'What if I was sent here to stop them?\'

This was a possibility that never crossed his mind before. \'What if all the cultivators who were sent here before me and failed were meant to stop them? Damn! That\'s beyond my wildest imagination!\'

And what made him more furious was the fact that there was no one he could rely on or ask for further info.

All he had was himself and what he knew about that unreachable stage of cultivation from his past life.

The main reason that drove him to experiment in the first place on new paths was the fact that getting there seemed quite impossible in his previous life.

And yet fate seemed to laugh at him as it sent him to this world not as a test, but as a tribulation.

If he needed to survive he had to breakthrough, sooner than later would be better.

If he needed to leave this universe then he needed to level up his cultivation base and reach the immortal stage and beyond.

\'Or should I focus on my golden pearl?\'

This was his current dilemma, one that not even the three voices in his head could solve.

Or even interfere.

They remained all silent while Gege silently conveyed what he was thinking to them. The other two couldn\'t read his mind and Gege knew how critical this moment was.

If he wrongly decided his future path here then he would screw up! All would be screwed up alongside him.

Yet even when they all knew what he was thinking about, none spoke or thought of giving any advice at all.

For them this was a totally different ground than the one they used to live, play, and fight at.

They knew their advice wouldn\'t only bring him any good, but they might even make everything worse.

And so they remained silent while all hoping for him to make the right decision.

\'I... need to go back,\' he finally made up his mind, \'whatever is hidden from me in this universe, I\'m pretty sure I\'ll find a trail for it in that sect.\'

His compass now returned to point towards the same direction he decided since the beginning. He vanished for a long time already off his world, and it was time for him to go back.

\'Send a word for Aemie,\' Arthur suddenly said to Gege, \'I want to meet with her now.\'

\'Where?\' Gege knew what he was up to so she saved herself the trouble of asking.

\'Forget it, I\'ll go to her.\'

He instantly flew fast while adding, \'prepare to move everyone out of my garden. Leave only Doaf and his forces there if they want to stay with me.\'

Gege didn\'t speak for a while as Arthur finally reached Aemie\'s place.

She was still exhausted from the last fight, yet he was pretty sure that bloodless face was due to what she heard about that white witch.

"You seem in a hurry," she said with a faint smile while her eyes gave him a doubtful look.

"I want to ask for a favor," Arthur went straight towards his goal of meeting with her.

"You are the hero of my world," she said, "anything you ask I\'ll try to comply."

"Well, I dunno if Amera told you how I came to this higher realm," Arthur said in a questioning manner while he went into silence as he waited for her answer.

Aemie was surprised by his words, and the change in her face told him she also guessed what he wanted.

"You want to go back?" she asked despite knowing the answer.

And he nodded.

"I left my people for so long," he said, "I left them in the middle of a hard battle. I\'m sure they will win, but I\'m not sure they can survive after that without me."

Aemie nodded in understanding but she raised her head as she said:

"Unfortunately with my shield sealing everything, I can\'t do this for you... Not yet."

Arthur didn\'t know why but he felt she was lying. It seemed she didn\'t want him to leave.

And he was right in his guess. In fact she had some guesses about the reason for the presence of such a mysterious white witch in her world in the first place.

Nothing seemed out of ordinary except a weak mage coming from a weak lower realm who could do miracles.

And above all he knew things she didn\'t know, like that tower.

"I believe this problem will be solved soon," Arthur didn\'t show her any sign of agreement, "after all Doaf sent that portal up there."

Her face showed her realization of this small yet very crucial info. She missed it amidst what was happening. After all, things here went crazy and hectic for her and for everyone.

Yet Arthur knew what the card he held in his hand better than anyone else.
