Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

"Let\'s go."

Arthur glanced at the sect before turning to leave. Yet before he could fly away, a man appeared from far heading towards him.

\'Ding! It\'s Jim,\' the system said.

"I wonder what he wants," Arthur stopped midair while Jim crossed the distance fast.

"My esteemed lord," he greeted Arthur, "sorry to stop you, but I have something important to say."

Arthur nodded and Jim continued: "I\'ve seen a vision just now… a vision that\'s so dark and…"

He paused and Arthur got the message. "It\'s about me, right?" and Jim nodded.

"Alright, speak freely then," Arthur was curious about this vision and wanted to see how strong the foretelling of this sect was.

"I saw… a very big dark cloud and you went directly inside in an admirable bravery," he said before his face and words changed, "but this dark cloud is the grave of yours. Inside… something very bad is awaiting for you there."

"What?" Arthur was very interested to hear his words.

"Another world… another world filled with a grand army and a very brutal beast are waiting for you there."

The words of Jim made the face of Arthur change, not out of fear but of realization. "Does my lord recognize what I\'m speaking about?" Jim noticed this and couldn\'t help but ask.

And when Arthur glanced weirdly at him, he hurried to add, "my foretelling techniques advances based on how my foretelling is interpreted."

"That makes quite sense," Arthur nodded, "if foretelling doesn\'t come true or explained, then it would turn to mere fantasy and daydreaming."

"My lord is very correct and wise," Jim couldn\'t help but express his admiration.

"What I can tell you then is that this vision of yours is true," Arthur calmly said, "but I won\'t fall there, my enemies will."

"But…"

"Don\'t worry, I have this feeling I won\'t die there," Arthur confidently said.

"Then I should help my lord and tell you about something I saw but couldn\'t understand," Jim seemed hesitant before adding, "in our foretelling we see the future and see also a glimpse or… a hint of what can change it."

"Are your foretellings always this bad?" Arthur laughed and Jim bitterly smiled.

"The world isn\'t a nice place, my lord. But our foretelling isn\'t always this dark to be honest."

"Speak then," Arthur casually waved his hand, "I don\'t mind some help."

"Well… what I saw is that the sky was opened and someone came… I dunno how to describe him but he wasn\'t… a man like we know."

Arthur saw the loss over Jim\'s face and he didn\'t get what he meant. "What does this man look like?"

"A stick… perhaps a staff… dunno but what was apparent there was his color," Jim said and suddenly Arthur was hit with a realization.

"Bronze?" he didn\'t wait for Jim to speak, "he was bronze in color?"

"H- How?!!" Jim was shocked before he got it, "oh, so my lord knows who he is."

"Hahaha, indeed my dear Jim," Arthur laughed in content as he understood what this vision was about, "now go and don\'t speak with anyone about it or even burden yourself with this fate. I\'ll crush anything and come back to kill the rest of the invaders here."

"But…" Suddenly Jim stopped him again and Arthur glanced in more doubt towards him. "The place I saw the vision at isn\'t the direction my lord is going… it\'s the opposite direction."

Jim pointed to another place, a place where an army was coming closer here. "No way!" Arthur couldn\'t help but exclaim in deep shock, "are you sure?" he asked and Jim nodded.

"I\'ve been living here since my birth and I know every single rock and valley here. The place I saw my lord entering in the vision is there… I\'m very sure about it."

Arthur was hesitant. The direction Jim pointed at was the direction where the army with giants was, the army his task force hit before. "How come they didn\'t see it?" he couldn\'t help but get lost in thoughts while not knowing what to do.

On one hand a mysterious army is coming from the air, and from the other a vision was presented to him about another place, another army, and another possibility.

"Screw it then," he didn\'t hesitate to decide, "thanks for the vision and warning. Go back now and continue looking for that traitor."

Jim nodded before moving away while Arthur stood his place, turned around and continued his original path without stopping.

"My lord… it\'s the wrong way," Jim shouted and Arthur didn\'t even turn to him anymore.

\'Ding! Are you ditching his forecast?\' the system couldn\'t help but ask.

"Something… looks fishy here," Arthur couldn\'t help but sigh, "if I have to choose between one vision and my trusted men\'s testimony, then I\'ll believe my men."

\'That Jim… looks quite suspicious to me,\' Gege suddenly said.

\'Ding! We should keep an eye over him.\'

Arthur didn\'t decide fast as he was considering his options here. "Take Doaf out now," he suddenly said and the next moment Doaf came out of a portal.

"Are we there?" Doaf couldn\'t help but glance around, "oh, we are still near the sect."

"I want to ask you about something," Arthur asked in a tone that made Doaf\'s face change, "did you see any giant dark cloud back at the army you attacked?"

"Cloud?" Doaf looked in a strange way, "no, there was only the ground army."

"And you saw everything?" Arthur asked again.

"We flew over the entire army," Doaf said, "fought most of the forces there and saw every single speck of dust." He paused before looking in doubt towards Arthur and asked, "is there anything we missed?"

"We missed… the traitor," Arthur couldn\'t help but sigh, "it\'s strange though… How can he be a traitor and gain everyone\'s recognition at the same time? Are all traitors? That\'s quite impossible!"

Doaf only kept his silence as he knew Arthur was speaking about a very crucial dilemma, even if he didn\'t get anything from what he said.
