Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

\'The crow is coming,\' Gege told him the news that he was already expecting. He knew no matter how doubtful the crow was, he wouldn\'t ignore two messages coming from two different sources and in two different ways.

"How about Gor and Deem?" he asked what he was worried most about.

\'They are... safe for now,\' Gege seemed a bit hesitant.

"What\'s wrong?" he didn\'t miss that, "Does anything happen to them?"

\'No, but...\'

"\'What?"

\'The changes they are making to the arrays are being reseted by Jim\'s men.\'

Arthur paused for a long minute with a long face before he suddenly laughed. "That man... he is really impatient and such a perfectionist," he said amidst his laughs.

\'Aren\'t you worried?\' Gege asked in doubt, \'this way the arrays would still be lost.\'

"It doesn\'t matter," Arthur said, "just make sure to tag those people. If Jim isn\'t afraid of meeting his accomplices in the open, his henchmen are."

\'Yeah, they will act suspicious if they meet anyone of their color,\' the golden dragon agreed.

\'Ding! We also need to know what arrays got manipulated so we can inform Deem and Gor to save them.\'

\'It\'s of no use,\' Gege sighed, \'they are ruining everything the two touch.\'

"It\'s not a big deal," Arthur didn\'t care about any array for now, "let\'s just make sure we keep them busy."

\'Your meaning...\' the golden dragon paused before realizing what he was after, \'oh, that sounds fun.\'

\'Ding! What\'s fun?\' the system didn\'t get it so Arthur had to explain:

"I will use the crow to make the two repair all the damaged arrays. This way those henchmen would be all busy running after them in circles."

\'But that might enrage Jim,\' the golden dragon warned.

"Let him be," Arthur shrugged, "the more restless he is the more mistakes he would make."

\'Anyway I\'ll keep an eye on these people and try to expand our traitor list,\' Gege said before pausing for a second, \'by the way, that crow is coming here so fast while leaving his forces back behind.\'

"He didn\'t bring them?" Arthur was surprised for a moment, "he is quite cautious."

\'Yeah,\' the golden dragon said in agreement.

\'He will be here in less than half an hour.\'

"I\'ll shorten this period then," Arthur then started to run towards the direction the crow was coming from. As he planned, in less than fifteen minutes the two came to see each other from far away.

\'Ding! He seems astonished to meet you here,\' the system said and Arthur couldn\'t help but chuckle.

Arthur stopped in his tracks while watching the crow flying so fast towards him. The closer he got he could see the anxious look over his face.

"I have to admit," the moment he stopped in front of him, the crow openly said, "I never expected you to be the one asking to meet."

"Who did you expect then?" Arthur asked with a wide smile over his face.

"I... dunno... I thought it\'s a trap or something," the crow seemed hesitant, "where is Amera?" he asked while glancing around.

"She is doing part of her mission," Arthur calmly said.

"And I was supposed to do mine," the crow said, "but you interrupted me."

"There is something I need you to see first," Arthur thought a lot about what he should say to the crow the moment the two meet.

He thought of directly telling him about the last adventure however he feared this would be too much to absorb.

So he preferred to first show him the evidence of this adventure before blowing up his mind with the details.

Also he planned to not be the one to brief him about everything. After all, he still couldn\'t determine if the crow world was safe or not, and couldn\'t guarantee his reaction towards the matter.

"Follow me," Arthur then entered through the portal Gege brought for the two before the crow simply followed.

The moment the crow stepped inside the garden world he instantly felt the changes there. Arthur flew a couple of meters away from him while examining his feather covered face.

The next moment the crow started to examine the world around, and this was the moment his face changed dramatically to show his shock.

"All these forces..." he slowly muttered in deep shock while moving his eyes around the ground forces of Amera and Doaf, "how the hell did they gain such power? Wait a minute..."

The crow turned towards Arthur before asking in great shock and much doubt, "are they all from the higher realm? Really?!!"

Arthur could only nod before he slowly said:

"There is a lot for you to catch up with."

"A lot?" the crow sneered in disbelief, "I only left you for a couple of hours. What possibly could happen during two hours? Gosh! This is unbelievable! There are mages from the giants and cauldrons as well..."

Arthur could only silently watch before he let Gege inform Doaf and Amera about their presence here. The two came in a hurry towards the crow before standing there without saying a word.

"I\'ll leave you two to tell him everything," Arthur said before a portal flashed beside him and he simply passed through it.

"Wait!" Amera shouted in anger yet she didn\'t manage to catch him before the portal closed. She stood at the place of the portal while her body trembled out of rage. "That punk! Does he think this is funny?"

"What\'s going on?" the crow wasn\'t stupid not to guess something really was going on and it seemed it was something bad. "Can anyone tell me what the hell happened in the past two hours?"

"They were days," Doaf corrected while taking a deep breath. He didn\'t like it either but the crow was here and he deserved to hear the truth.

"Days? How come?!!" The crow seemed not to believe him.

"It\'s actually weeks," yet Amera corrected before adding, "we... have a long story to tell you about."
