Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Arthur raised his hand and pointed towards the old lady with no speck of hesitation.

"W… What the hell is that?" the old lady seemed shocked at first before she hurriedly shouted, "is this some sort of a joke? Are you making clowns instead of warriors now?"

Aemie didn't react even when her aunt spoke in such rage. Instead her eyes were fixed over Arthur's body as if she was able to see through him.

And the more she stared at him the more uneasy Arthur became. However he didn't have the choice to move a muscle, not when he threw such a bomb.

"Give me that," the old lady on the other hand didn't wait for the master to make a decision. Instead she leaned towards one of the guards and grabbed a sword off his hands.

She leaned on her stick to move a step forward while the other hand waved the big sword towards the head of Arthur.

Arthur saw her coming and his instincts told him to jump and evade. However he didn't.

"You are a traitor," instead he said these world out loud and in a very calm domineer, "you are betraying your people, your love ones, and even daring to ally with the lycans against your kin… you are a mad and pathetic old lady."

"Die you bastard!" the more he spoke the angrier the old lady became. The sword moved slowly yet Arthur knew it contained immense power he couldn't resist.

"Clang!"

Yet before the sword could reach his head, another one extended and easily blocked the old lady's attack.

"What does this mean?" the old lady roared.

"He is my… puppet," Aemie casually said while moving her sword in rotating motion, making the sword in the old lady's hand slip through and fly back in the air to the rightful owner.

"And?" the old lady glared in Aemie's eyes while knowing deep down her soul that her nephew was considering the words of Arthur.

"I'll interrogate him using my own ways," Aemie calmly stated what she intended to do.

"You…." The old lady faked her anger, "How dare you consider such an outsider's words against me?"

"I'm not," Aemie gave her a diplomatic smile, "I'm just going to see what went wrong in him and fix it."

"You should destroy him," the old lady wasn't content with any of this, "if you don't want to do it, lend him to me and I'll kill him."

"Humph, he is my property," Aemie's tone changed to her usual firm and aggressive self, "and this talk is over. You are free to go out now."

The old lady was already on her way out but that didn't stop her from shaking her head all the time and even turned once to give her nephew what Arthur felt as a disappointing look.

"Everyone can clear the room as well," Aemie turned to all of her guards and gave them the order to leave.

Despite their initial hesitation, the look on her face didn't give any room for talk.

"Now, as we are all alone can you stop this little play of yours… Please?" As the room was cleared, Aemie turned to Arthur and said with an interesting look on her face.

"What play?" Arthur tried to stick to his act till the end.

"C'mon, don't insult my intelligence," Aemie said while crossing her arms, "they might get fooled by your act, but not me. I've already seen through your body. Somehow you look immune to my special toxin."

Arthur paused for a moment before smiling. "That's not your fault."

"Whatever schmunk," she seemed a bit disappointed by such a result, "as I can't control you as I wished, then what can you give so I won't kill you now."

"You won't," Arthur seemed a bit confident, which made her raise an eyebrow.

"Toying with fire will get you burnt down by it sometime."

"I'm a dragonair," Arthur shrugged, "fire is my whole world. Besides… you need me."

"I can just burn the entire world down to find those lycans."

"What about the traitors surrounding you?" Arthur's words made her face freeze and that made him realize he hit the right note with her. "You can kill any lycans here but that won't stop the inevitable."

Aemie kept her silence for a long minute before finally speaking up, "So you can see through traitors too? That's a hell of a gift you got there little boy."

"I can't," Arthur shook his head, "but I've someone who can tell us everything."

"Someone?" Aemie mistook his meaning before adding, "if you mean my dear auntie then you will surely be disappointed."

"I didn't mean her," Arthur took a step towards her, "do you trust me?"

"I trust my power to kill you with a whim of my thought," she said as if she was inviting him to dinner.

"Then let me show you that person."

The next moment a portal appeared as he ordered Gege. "A portal?" The face of Aemie seemed a bit surprised by the presence of a portal here. "Wait a minute, if you have access to such an advanced thing, why the hell are you still here?"

Her words carried her own suspicion and a good point of view as well.

"I'm here to help you clear the house."

"But it's not your house in the first place."

"You… are an important ally to the bronzed giants," Arthur slowly said while walking towards the portal, "are you coming or not?"

She couldn't help but sigh before following his steps and vanished inside the portal.

"For the record," the next moment as she appeared in the garden world she said, "that room was supposed to be enchanted to prevent such portals to appear. How did you do it?"

Arthur gave her a long look before pointing towards the side, "let's focus on the job we have now."

"Oh god…" the moment she followed his finger and saw Nicole, she couldn't help but mutter in shock and deep anger.
