Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Nicole didn\'t seem to be reassured at all. Arthur could easily tell that from her frightened face. Yet Aemie didn\'t bother at all even to listen to her opinion about it.

She made up her mind, and no one here could even guess why she did that.

\'Have you done what I asked?\' Arthur asked while he was standing beside Aemie as she was preparing for the teleportation portal.

\'They are moving the corpses inside,\' Gege said, \'we have quite a number in there now.\'

Arthur slowly nodded in contempt without saying anything else.

"The trans-realm portal isn\'t something easy to make," Aemie slowly said while taking out a large platform from a ring, "but it\'s your luck for me to have this one here ready for that."

"What is this?" Arthur pointed towards the platform that was nothing he saw before.

The platform was made of interlinked circles in different angles, creating a space inside that was like the size of a big ball.

"It\'s the teleportation portal I found once before," Aemie only said that before she turned to Arthur and extended her hand with a small flask of glass, "please, fill it with your blood."

"Not again!" Arthur had to complain and that made Aemie raise one eyebrow before he did what she asked.

"I\'m going with you," yet all of sudden Amera stepped forward before adding, "I want to complete my promise."

"Oh," Aemie gave her a questionable glance.

"The war is over," Amera tried to justify her request, "and I doubt I would be needed anymore."

"No, you got me wrong my dear," Aemie amusingly said, "you just solved a big problem for me."

As everyone gazed up at her in doubt, Aemie added in her fun way, "I wanted someone capable to lead this legion. Or else how can I sleep wholeheartedly without any worries about my love?"

"Legion?!" Amera wasn\'t the only one shocked by Aemie\'s choice of words.

And Aemie nodded as if she just said something so casual.

"Don\'t tell me you thought I would send only them?" Aemie chuckled before adding, "Each one of them holds a hidden world full of a good army to lead."

"W- What?!" it was Arthur\'s turn to get shocked.

"It\'s a gift," Aemie said while playing with Nicole\'s hair, "and a guarantee for my beloved girl\'s safety."

Arthur now was quite positive this grandmaster was scheming something behind his back, something big without doubt.

"Don\'t give me this look," Aemie was so shameless to even comment on his skeptical gazes, "I\'m just trying to help you achieve your goals easier. Shouldn\'t I get a warm hug and big thanks in return?"

Arthur gave her a silent look and didn\'t move a muscle. He didn\'t believe her at all. He knew she was scheming something; none of this would ever be in his favor unless it was also for hers.

"Alright," she grasped the flusk off his hand, "are you all ready for a ride?"

She seemed like having fun doing that. Arthur could only remain silent and tried so hard to restrain himself from opening his mouth and cursing.

After all, he was still at her turf.

Arthur could only nod and watch while she poured his blood in the space in between the circular arcs of this platform.

It seemed there was some sort of hidden power there. The moment his blood fell there it was suspended and slowly expanding in a flat plain.

It was like she was pouring blood over a glass surface. Just as the last drop fell, his blood formed a circle in the center of this space.

And then the entire platform shook and his blood started to shine.

"If you want to say anything, it\'s time," Aemie suddenly turned to him as she added, "even if you insulted and cursed me now, I have nothing in hand to do to stop the portal from running."

Arthur gave her a strange look before he sighed. "Why are you acting this weird?" he shook his head before he added, "I have something I want you to deliver for me."

"For a girl?" Aemie asked in interest before turning to Amera, "I thought your girl is with you."

Amera\'s face changed slightly yet Arthur ignored Aemie\'s remarks. He started to get used to her weird actions by now. "To my godfather," he suddenly said before portals appeared all around.

He only motioned his head to Amera and she understood.

"Let\'s go," Amera said before she led everyone to step inside the portals Gege brought around.

"What message?" Aemie seemed not to be surprised by his actions, "I\'ll make sure he receives it. And don\'t worry about its length, I\'ve an iron clad memory that never failed me before."

"It\'s a short one," Arthur shrugged, "just tell him to prepare everything for me, I\'m planning to come here soon."

Arthur\'s face changed before adding in a serious tone: "Things here won\'t be the same after I arrive. So he should prepare everything for it."

"For… What?" Aemie asked but the next instant the platform shook again. This time the circular arcs around the shining blood started to rotate. With each passing second their speed of rotation grew faster and it created a series of shockwaves.

Aemie even couldn\'t stand her place except with some difficulty. As for Arthur, he didn\'t even feel any gust of wind or any repelling force at all.

"For the greatest war," Arthur slowly said while a blue light suddenly erupted from the center of that platform coming from his blood. The light expanded fast until it enveloped Arthur.

"The war to reign dominant over this entire universe," Arthur\'s strong voice came from within the light before he vanished.

Aemie stood in her place while watching the platform return to its normal state. Her face was plain, and didn\'t show anything of her current thoughts or emotions at the moment.

"So… the prophecy is right after all," she only took a deep breath before raising her head up to the burning sky, "and he appears at the bronzed giant clan of all clans… Sigh, I need to strengthen my relations with that clan from now on."

Then she extended her hand and retrieved the platform before turning around and headed towards her city.
