Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

After another couple of hours they reached a very large place, full of three and four story buildings and very organized wide streets. The style of the buildings was unique, with many inscriptions engraved upon the exterior wooden surface of these buildings.

The buildings were unified in color, with cyan color dominating everything, and the inscriptions were done by using dark green color, with some illumination coming from the heart of these inscriptions.

Arthur and the others fell to the ground when they reached the outer regions of this place, following what Rayan had already. Once their feet touched the ground, all of them were mesmerized by the elegance and uniqueness of this headquarters of this great clan.

The difference between what Arthur and others had seen before in their clans and guild and here was really remarkable, and that made everyone feel such shock while walking in the streets of this city.

But for Arthur, he had seen many grandiose cities, and for him this wasn't a city at all. It was a decent town, well planned as many details were taken great care of, however he wasn't feeling the same shock as others had.

He knew this place was special, much advanced than his clan at the least, but he was sure in the years to come, he would have a grandiose city, a real city, a capital to his growing empire.

In his eyes, this place would eventually fall under his control, and he decided to repay this act of kindness from Rayan and make this place a centre of this region in the distant future.

"Here is the main street of our city, as many mages come from all the regions around us to trade, get to know each other, and have some fun as well. We have over a dozen branches of established bounty hunter guilds, with ranking five at the least," Rayan said, while showing off his clan's main city with much pride.

He had all the right to enjoy this feeling, Arthur knew that, so he didn't say anything and let Raya enjoy his moment.

"This is a very special city, I never saw anything like it before," Noura spoke of, expressing what everyone had in their minds.

"Aha, that city was built over hundreds of years. We consider it the crown jewel of our clan, the pride we have from our ancestors, and each generation would make sure to leave a print here for the future generations to come."

Arthur commended the mindset of this clan from what Raya just said, and he knew such a clan wouldn't fall easily. Such inheritance would take a long time to conquer, not only by the might of arms, but a tiring long war of thoughts and beliefs would be required to finally control this place.

"Here is the main welcoming hall for our esteemed guests. Let's go inside and rest for a bit before you can set course again to the academy," Rayan suddenly pointed to a large building, composed of many smaller ones, all had a small dome in its centre, with the central building having the largest dome amongst all.

The building had its own wall that was made out of a beautiful milky white colored ore. Arthur felt some breeze coming from this ore, and he knew this ore was quite special.

Inside the wall, they were welcomed with a large garden, full of many plants and trees. A lot of flowers bloomed there, making a stunning color festival amusing to the eye.

Arthur saw this and recalled his own heavenly garden, it was much higher in grade and size in comparison to this place.

"Brother Rayan is really kind, taking us here with himself and explaining to us everything. I can't enter here without leaving a small gift of mine, a token of friendship, may our friendship last for eternity," Arthur suddenly said, startling everyone including Raya, who glanced at him with anticipating eyes.

Arthur then headed towards one side, where it was next to the paved way they were walking in. That place was an empty piece of this garden, approximately ten meters square, taking the form of a perfect square.

It seemed they were preparing it to plant some plants here, however he selected it to leave his gift. From his garden, he selected a group of plants, flowers, and even small trees and took them out with part of the ground and made them all appear, miraculously, in this place.

This sudden move attracted the attention of everyone here, including even many members of the clan, who came to observe the gift Arthur left for them.

"Brother Willy is so generous! Such an extravagant gift is really something precious," Raya came to stand by Arthur, as he marveled these mysterious plants he left here as a gift.

"Is he a guest of yours, Rayan?" an old looking man suddenly appeared, where he stood beside the two of them, looking at these plants with bright eyes. His face was very calm, but Arthur fetl great pressure coming from this old man.

The man appeared here without making a single sound, making Arthur feel some vigilance towards him. He didn't feel his presence until he spoke, and this was a very rare occurrence to Arthur.

"Yes, great elder, he is a guest of mine, Willy, the clan leader of the golden lion clan," Raya spoke with much respect towards that man, which gave Arthur some pointers towards the real status of that man.

"These are long lost plants, a real treasure," that old man smiled in content as he nodded in satisfaction, "they will make a great addition to our inheritance. Good eyes as always, Raya. You never disappoint me," the man added while patting on Rayan's shoulder like a grandfather pat on the shoulder of his grandson.

The face of Raya showed a big smile despite his tone of speech remaining as respectful as ever as he replied, "I'm only learning from you, great elder."

"Humble as always, but that doesn't take any credit from you," the man nodded then he glanced towards Arthur as he added, "such a great gift presented by you isn't simple, young man. My advice to you is to keep your hand secret from the eyes of others.. In this world, many would crave for what you own."
