Novel Full Chapter 1040: First Time Flying
Chapter 1040: First Time Flying
Archer walked back to Michelle’s house and was met by Ashoka, Maeve, and Nyx, who looked concerned. The orange-haired woman spoke first as he stepped into the front garden, “Did you use loads of mana a few miles away, darling?”
“Yes. I was helping the forest recover from near death, and now it’s thriving,” he answered while greeting the three with a hug.
“You smell like you’ve been fighting some swamp monster,” Ashoka expressed after they broke apart.
He waved his hands and used Mana Manipulation to create a lifesize image of Bigfoot while speaking, “I found tunnels that these creatures were hiding in; they’ve been kidnapping people who travel through the National Park.”
The three women looked intrigued, but Nyx revealed, “Ellie’s taking Maeve and me to her college, but Tiger wants to come with you and Nancy tomorrow.”
She nodded toward the third woman, a playful smirk on her lips as if the plan had already been settled without further discussion. Archer laughed but agreed with them before walking back into the house, where Michelle and Ellie were in the kitchen chatting.
When the older woman saw him, her cheeks reddened, causing him to smile and the brunette to tease her, “Why are you acting like a school girl, Mom! You’ve already done the deed; there’s no need to go shy.”
Maeve and the other two laughed while sitting down before Michelle retorted, “Shut up, girl!”
Everyone laughed at her outburst, but she paid no mind, turning her attention to the cooking with Maeve, who had come over to help. The older woman smiled warmly, offering her thanks.
Archer watched this with a smile as Ashoka and Nyx joined him. Following that, the dragon woman asked with a curious voice as her mix-matched eyes gleamed, “So what’s with this world? It seems to be in complete free fall.”
“I think war will break out within the next two years,” Ashoka commented.
He nodded before giving them his view of things, “Well, corruption runs wild in most governments; the nuclear family was destroyed, which ruined millions of lives, which is horrible due to children needing both parents.”
Both women exchanged concerned glances before Michelle spoke up, her voice tinged with frustration, “It feels like the world is heading into a terrible decade with all the wars going on across the globe.”
Following that, Archer explained everything from the crime increase to the people who couldn’t afford to live, which surprised the three women. After speaking, Nyx asked, “How long until you get enough mana to return to Thrylos?”
“It should be another month. Especially if I heal more forests and use more magic,” he answered the dragon woman.
“Why would you heal the forests?” Ellie questioned in a curious tone as she drank some coffee.
Archer smiled at the brunette and commented, “It uses a lot of mana but in a harmless way. I can burn through most of it doing this.”
She nodded in understanding as Michelle set the table, placing plates with toast, eggs, and bacon in front of them. The delicious smell caused his stomach to rumble before eating, and Maeve spoke, “Are we going to war when returning home, husband?”
“Yes, we need to deal with the Alliance and take Thrylos for the true battle,” Archer replied severely.
The table went quiet, but Ellie asked, “How will the war go, brother?”
He looked at the young woman before replying, “Brutal and bloody. The enemy has people as strong as me on their side; it will be an uphill battle and will take years to finish.”
“Will you be fighting?” Michelle suddenly asked.
Archer nodded, “Of course. How can I leave my legions to fight everything themselves? There will be opponents that I will need to deal with so we can move forward,” he revealed.
The group continued talking until the older woman had to go to work while the others went to get ready. Once alone, he stood up, approached a nearby window, and watched the people go about their lives without a care.
“Thrylos may unite, but the world will spiral into chaos once the war begins,’ Archer thought grimly. ‘I can’t allow Draconia to fall-if it does, the world will be dragged back to the Dark Ages.’
Following that, he waited for Ashoka, who appeared not long later. Archer said his goodbyes to the others before opening a portal to the Davis Mansion; the two stepped through and appeared in the garden.
Several cars were waiting out front while guards covered every part of the property. When they appeared, the security panicked, but as soon as they recognized Archer, they calmed down and escorted him to Nancy’s entrance. freewebnoveℓ.com
When she saw him, the short-haired woman beamed before rushing over. She wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him tight, “Arch! I’m glad you’re here; we’re leaving soon.”
Archer smiled as he hugged her, “I told you I’d come.”
The older Davis sister beamed, then turned to Ashoka after kissing him, who greeted her with a nod. Extending her hand, the navy-haired woman spoke, “I’m Nancy Davis. You must be Ashoka, one of his fiancées.”
The tiger woman smiled warmly and replied, “Yes, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”
Afterward, Nancy led them to one of the middle cars and excitedly said, “We must travel to the nearest airport before catching a flight to Miami. Once there, we will be in a hotel until the
fight begins.”
Archer nodded, and Ashoka smiled as she questioned, “Are you a fighter?”
The navy-haired woman nodded with a proud smile, “Yes. I compete in boxing competitions worldwide; people say I’m good at what I do.”‘
“Have you got any videos of your fights?” Ashoka commented.
When Archer heard this, he turned to the tiger woman and said, “When we’re on the plane, I will show you a bunch of them if that’s okay.”
They all got into the car and got comfortable as the convoy left the mansion grounds. Ashoka and Nancy spoke while he watched the city pass by. The vehicles traveled through London until they reached an airport after an hour of driving.
He noticed the city looked gloomy and grey due to the bad weather. A man welcomed the trio to the private jet hangar and motioned for them to stop. Armed guards were all over the place. Nancy quickly explained, “The threats toward our family have stopped, but the prime minister assigned more security to our family.”
When Archer heard this, his eyes widened in shock. He thought, ‘Maybe he’s trying to get in my good books?’
Afterward, Nancy and Ashoka stepped out of the car while he followed. The trio climbed into the private plane, where her trainers met them. The older men and women greeted Archer
with wide eyes.
An older man spoke as they sat down, “Are you the boy all over the news? Not many people
have white hair.”
“Yes,” he answered, which caused the other to gossip.
Soon enough, the plane hummed softly as it taxied down the runway. Archer glanced out the window, watching the rain-slick tarmac blur past, the grey skies of London heavy with clouds. Beside him, Nancy sat comfortably, excitement in her green eyes as she fiddled with her seatbelt. Ashoka, seated across from them, stretched out her legs, watching the runway with
calm curiosity.
“First time flying?” Nancy asked, grinning at the tiger-woman.
The tiger woman shook her head, a playful smirk tugging at her lips. “Not in something like
this.”
That’s when the engines roared to life, and Archer felt the sudden surge as the jet lifted off the ground, tilting upward toward the clouded sky. Nancy leaned back in her seat, a satisfied smile crossing her face. “Next stop, Miami.”
Ashoka chuckled. “Show me those videos of your fights Nancy. I want to see what you can do.”
She pulled out her, scrolling through clips as the plane leveled and soared above the clouds. The cabin grew quiet, save for the soft hum of the engines and the rustling of the video
loading on the screen.
Archer looked out the window and noticed the city passing by below them, eventually reaching the sea. They were flying over the Atlantic Ocean as he leaned back to get comfortable before pulling out a hotdog.
He began eating but soon noticed both women eyeing him. Ashoka licked her lips, a playful
glint in her eyes making Archer chuckle. With a grin, he handed a piece to the tiger woman,
who accepted it with a grateful smile.
Turning to Nancy, he offered her a bite, but she shook her head with a soft smile, “No thanks, babe,” she said, leaning back in her seat. “I’ve got to watch what I eat.”
Archer chuckled, turning his gaze back to the window as he ate, faintly aware of the trainers
whispering about his and Nancy’s relationship. The gossip didn’t bother him, but it seemed to spark something in her.
With a mischievous smile playing on her lips, she suddenly stood up and slid onto his lap, catching him off guard. All eyes in the cabin shifted toward them as Nancy settled in, clearly
enjoying the attention.
