Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

"This isn't just a pet contract, it's me granting you my life, and forever I would be yours," she said, smiling a very affectionate smile. He wanted to speak more, as he felt the urge to know her better, speak with her for longer time, but she stopped him, putting her finger on her lips, while saying:

"Tick Tock, the time is limited. I want to tell you that this contract is unique, not all races can do it. as a dragon race descendant, I could do this contract, so don't use this over your friends or they might get hurt. See you later, my love."

She hugged him, a deep and warm hug that made his own soul shiver, like he never felt love or passion before. Before he knew it, when he opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on the ground, the dome was gone, the picture of this goddess was gone, and the queen of python was gone.

"Have you decided to make it a pet?" Madly asked, in a strange tone, as she didn't find a reason he might change his mind like this.

He just turned to look at her after a long pause, as he knew the goddess was gone, and his soul had this longing, painful feeling of something lost, something very precious.

"There are some strong monsters eyeing us. If I entered into a long slumber, then I would have been in trouble, we all are."

He said it, not to reply to her question, but to justify to his doubtful self about what just happened, and why he did that. He stood up, amidst the horror looks of everyone, so he hurriedly added, "Don't worry, they won't attack us soon. Go now and cook the rest of the meat."

He then went ahead of them, towards the wall of the camp, lost in his own thoughts. He didn't know if what happened was real of his imagination, but he still could feel the warm touch of her soft hands, her fiery breaths over his chest, and even he could feel her heartbeats.

He also recalled what she said lastly, before knocking him out of consciousness. She mentioned dragons, and being a direct line to them.

Back in his own world, dragons were one of the toughest monsters to tame and slain. He knew some fanatics who would go to any lengths just to have their hands on any dragon.

If she was a descendant of the dragon line, then her eggs would also be like her?

He suddenly thought highly of these eggs. He just wanted to collect them, to hatch them later and form his own army with them. He doubted the fact they were grown on an ice aura, despite being of fire origin. But now he understood, dragons were dual species, always had two attributes at the least, if not more.

Having fire and ice was just normal for them, and so he started to wonder about these eggs, would he let them hatch normally or he would push it and try to provide some special nutrients to them?

Having help from dragons, even not fully evolved ones, was something great. Back in his days he might not celebrate this, but here, in this weak world, he knew this would boast his strength, and his crew strength, by bounds.

Lost in thoughts, he had the urge to summon the queen, but he hesitated. The contract they did seemed to have some toll over her. So, it was best if he waited until the morning, at least he would give her some time to rest.

Then he started searching his body for her tattoo, but he couldn't find it anywhere. He thought it might be well hidden, and wouldn't appear except when needed. A dragon tattoo would attract unneeded attention, and might cause trouble as well.

Thinking here, he knew that forging a ring would be his top priority now. He knew the requirements of forging one ring, or the many ways he could forge one. However, only one or two ways might be quite feasible to him this time, regarding his weak strength, and lack of materials.

He needed special material to act like the main medium. For him, there were a lot of bones he could use, but he wanted something more sturdy than that. He lacked ore, a special type of ore, and if he could his hands on one, he could use it to forge a good ring.

He thought of using that icy rock over there, but he refrained from this. First he couldn't touch that rock yet, and secondly that rock was essential for the eggs maturation and growth.

So, putting this aside, he started thinking about other options. He had to go on a tour around this place, as he might find the ore he was looking for.

His eyes moved at once towards Lily. Her Birdy was suitable for this search task, so he shouted at her to come.

"I want to look for something, so summon Birdy and let's have a ride."

She looked in happiness to his request, as she was feeling how special she was, having the only flying monster in the group. At once, she unsummoned the python, then she called for Birdy. Arthur just looked at Madly as he instructed:

"Stay here, and keep cooking the meat.. Make a place suitable for the forging fire, and don't forget to prepare a pot filled with water for the quenching process."
