“What is going on? I am a bit confused here.” Ali whispered next to Malikul.Ibrahim listened tentatively silently. He was inclined to believe his daughter had a reason to get so mad. Whatever she said would be presumingly correct and he had nothing to against it. To him, Shadow was never wrong and if she was ever wrong, she was actually right. Whatever it was.Juviana, Miley, Julian, David, and Nathan watched Shadow quietly, controlling their breath, and chased her not far behind, putting a distance. For them, their mental safety was of utmost importance. Her rumors weren’t an exaggeration, if anything, people downplayed them a lot.She wasn’t a sadistic freak, but a silent storm that potentially killed them if they weren’t careful enough.They took off to a foreign kingdom as soon as they were summoned. Best believe they heard no explanation of some sort but her strained voice of her was enough to keep them on their toes.“Is she always… like this?” David gossiped next to his count.
“Where are we going?” Ali tried his luck once again after he was met with cricket.Again, Ibrahim leaned in, attentively listening to any answer.Malikul was unusually quiet down with hunched shoulders. His eyes filled with complicated thoughts though he wasn’t as moody as yesterday. Ali took it as a win. Usually, it would take Malikul more than three days to calm down and converse as usual.“Daddy, uncle,” Shadow replied to them, however.Her voice didn’t indicate anything. The covered face also gave nothing to them.“Familiar with this altitude?”They didn’t have to look around to see what the altitude was. They instinctively knew where the altitude was taking them. In fact, the people behind them also knew. Because this latitude brought them exactly to where they wanted to go. “I don’t really know where we are but I’m familiar with the latitude,” Ibrahim said thoughtfully.“We are at the highest ground, crossing the continent. It is not a western continent.”Nathan who just staye
It took them a few couples of minutes to enter the main vast area right at the center. Before they reached the center, the barrier became even stronger. Yet, Juviana and Miley easily dispelled it.“Don’t tell me…” A realization hit Juviana belatedly.“Yeah. She summoned us here because of the barrier.” Miley confirmed the suspicions.“Unbelievable.”“We also may have other uses. Brace yourself.” “Wow, the audacity.”“Accept your fate. We are here for purposes. We might need to attack the grey dragon as well.”“No.” Juviana’s eyes quivered.A dragon was powerful alone. They were facing the grey dragon which was famous for his nasty personality. Juviana refused to gamble her life but the one who led her by the nose was none other than Lord Holiness. As soon as they entered the barrier, the scenery changed once again. It looked like a pre-historical. The huge mansion was right in front of them surrounded by the garden in a circle shape, covering the whole mansion.Every tree branch, ev
“Shadow…” He mumbled Shadow’s name in a violent heartbeat.Shadow slung her arm at the top of her chair and crossed her legs. Her eyes showed no apologist as a smirk was evident on her face.“We should discuss why I poisoned you. We can’t let them misunderstand my intention.”In Nathan’s arms, the dragon still dared to rudely point his finger at Shadow with bloodshot eyes.“You want to kill me.” Accused him.Malikul silently snorted but enjoyed the drama. He knew his wife, she wouldn’t do it unless she had a reason to do so.“I have my reasons as well.” She defended herself when their eyes shifted to her, asking for clarification.“You… you… I don’t intend to traumatize you. I just… just wanted to scare you off. There’s no deep meaning in it.” “Yeah, because you intend to kill me from the get-go, not knowing that your son is in my favor.”“Nonsense!” He snarled.“It is not nonsense. You can ask him if you wish to. The previous king nearly knocked him out permanently. He fucked your s
Draco disappeared as soon as the issue was ordered and he was fully equipped. Making this place her own, Shadow sauntered around while followed by the rest of them. Julian and David’s bodies twisted in excitement as Shadow crashed one of the available chambers.It was a workshop room filled with expensive equipment.“Lord Holiness…” They twisted their bodies, eyes sparkled with excitement.Giving permission as it was her place, the dwarves disappeared inside the room with an excited roar.“What about us?” Juviana pointed at herself.“Please let us borrow the room,” Miley said elegantly, her eyes had already roamed around the room with a hint of astonishment. “Sure.”Juviana and Miley hopped excitedly and clapped with each other.“Yay!”Then, they rushed inside.Nathan was standing behind with hands placed on his navel, head cast down.Pap!His back was hit by Shadow. The lady who was already wearing the mask; smiled.“I’m not sending your dad to kill him.” She said in a cheerful ton
Ferdinand had a grief expression on his face. How’d you know?’ written all over their faces. Even if Ferdinand tried to be subtle, it wasn’t subtle enough for him.“Pardon me, I don't quite understand what you are trying to say here.” Ferdinand maintained his awkward smile.Draco regarded Ferdinand with a bemused expression. “Look who’s all grown up, trying to lie to me and all.”“... It’s been a while,” Ferdinand was dumbstruck, filling the silence with whatever words linked up on his tongue.“Sure.” Draco acknowledged his statement.“You look… powerful.” Ferdinand hadn’t seen the old dragon since the reign of the old tyrant king… no, a couple of years ago when he asked for the nails. Draco hadn’t aged a day, his skin covered in bright ink, his eyes liquid tar, his arrogant face.“You look so much like your father,” Draco noted. “The old tyranny who dares to injure my baby son.” He ground his teeth at the last sentence. “I hear they call you the Ambitious Emperor of The Unknown now.
Draco threw the unconscious Jamal over his shoulder and smacked his butt. His long hair was cut short to uphold the agreement.“Ugh~” The unconscious man grunted.It made Draco laugh sadistically while Ferdinand acted blind.“Our business ends here.” Ferdinand’s face was radiant the brightest while holding the fist of Draco’s hair.Draco cut half of his long hair, now it was shoulder length.Draco gazed at him, face unreadable. His beautiful long eyelids fluttered.Flap!His grey wings were instantly freed.“Thank you for the hair.” Ferdinand immediately bowed to the old dragon, face filled with happiness.Draco arrogantly stared at him before asking.“Son, have you fallen in love?”Ferdinand froze at the sudden attack.“It wasn’t only a colossal crush, innit?”Spot on! Ferdinand’s eyes moved around violently, looking anywhere except at the old dragon.“I can see that. She is cute, petite, and a great beauty. The kind of beauty that no one can ever possess.” Draco approved. “I’ve met
“Muahahahahaha.”“I love it.”“See… perfect.”“I love this so damn much!”The elves and the dwarves were buzzing with excitement in the early morning. Despite lacking sleep, they were as lively as ever.“Do you wish to inspect my new bow and arrows?”“Oh, sure, why not. In exchange, I’ll let you feel the greatness of the shield.” Miley offered her items and David followed suit.Miley held the small sphere in her hand and wasn't sure how to play with this so-called shield.“I don’t think this is shie– useful to me.” He studied it earnestly.“Supply your magic into the sphere,” Julian answered in his king’s stead, who was already making an adjustment to the bow. “Do you wish to make an adjustment, oh my hardworking king?” “I can still improve the durability of the bow.” He knocked the bow with his knuckle lightly. “Did you hear that?”Apparently, it created some sort of sound that only dwarves distinguished. Even if Shadow heard it, she wouldn’t know what. The sound was only visible t
