Lindyss humd as she sat in a rocking chair, crocheting with a ball of black yarn by her feet. A bat was forming on the ends of her crocheting hooks. Around her, dozens of stuffed bats lay on her dresser, bed, table, and floor. There was even a wool dragon attached to the ceiling. As she was putting the finishing touches on her bat, the floor shook and knocked her out of her chair. Screams entered the room through her open window as she sat up and brushed her brown hair out of her face. A sigh escaped from her lips as her door swung open and a skeleton appeared.
Unholy Misstr
Is it Grimmy? Lindyss asked. The skeleton froze mid-greeting before jerking its head up and down, bones rattling. Lindyss smoothed out her red dress as she walked out of the room. I told him to stop entering Konigreich like that. The skeleton watched its master leave before shrugging and entering a nearby closet.
Outside, Lindyss saw Grimmy sitting on top of her newly-founded church of the damned. Her skeletons and religious followers decided to vote on the na of their religion, and the winning entry was Damnedism. What started off as a joke on her part beca a continental phenonon because the results were visible. With Grimmys help, Lindyss had set up a holy altar that converted dead bodies into zombies or skeletonsdepending on the state of their corpsesthat retained their mories from when they were still alive.
Ah, Grimmy said, shifting his weight on top of the church, causing tiles to rain down on the populace below. Lindyss noticed a section of the church had collapsed and her skeletons were already working on repairing it. There you are. Grimmy leaned forward and plucked Lindyss off the ground before she could say a word. His wings flapped, causing the skeletons on the ground to fall over, and the duo soared into the air.
Grimmy, Lindyss said as she was placed on top of the dragons forehead. Im a very busy person, you know? You cant just kidnap every ti youre bored. This is the fifth ti this week, and the week only started three days ago.
Grimmy snorted. I know what you do in that tower of yourscrocheting little bats and a mini- all day, he said. Lindyss smacked his scales, causing him to burst out into laughter. And Im not kidnapping you because Im bored. Ive co to fulfill a promise.
Huh? Lindyss brow furrowed. Which one?
Eastern continent, Grimmy said. You finished integrating that holy warrior soul, right? Leila and I are flying over to visit her family. Youre my plus-one.
Lindyss fell silent. I dont think you understand how a plus-one works, she said as her eye twitched. Are you sure you didnt an third wheel?
You two-legged creatures and your words, Grimmy said and snorted. Im bringing you along. Feel honored.
Lindyss rolled her eyes. Yes, O mighty one, she said. Honored is definitely the feeling Im experiencing right now. But didnt you say you werent planning on leaving the continent any ti soon?
Well, Grimmy said as he flew through a cloud, causing Lindyss dress to dampen and cling to her body. I was staying to make sure Nova didnt bully Vur too much. Turns out Vur didnt need my help. Nova accepted him after he caught a teor.
So thats what that was, Lindyss said as she furrowed her brow. I had a feeling it had to do with Vur. Where is he now?
He shouldve teleported to Fuselage with Tafel, Grimmy said and paused as he stroked his chin, but Sera seed pretty mad about sothing. I thought shed be happier considering Vurs not a fledgling anymore.
No mother likes seeing their children leave the nest, Lindyss said and shook her head. Although she found it absurd that Sera considered the whole continent of Zuer to be her nest, she couldnt really argue with her.
Nah, Grimmy said. I think it was sothing else. Although I do rember that ti Vur was kidnapped by a certain soone, and Sera went ballistic trying to find him. Grimmys eye rolled upwards to stare at Lindyss.
The corrupted elf cleared her throat and gazed up at the sky. Didnt you go all Im going to destroy everything with undead as well? she asked. A shiver ran down her spine. Im glad we got over that misunderstanding.
I think Prikas still upset you didnt marry Vur, Grimmy said and snorted. Why dont you?
Go die. Theres no way in hell Im becoming your niece-in-law, Lindyss said.
Grimmy laughed as he dove downwards, approaching the valley of the dragons. Lindyss had to dig her fingers in between his scales to prevent herself from being thrown off. Her eyes shut due to the wind, and a sudden stop caused her face to smack into Grimmys forehead. Asshole, Lindyss muttered as she sat up and smoothed out her hair. Do that again and youll regret it.
Your relationship with Grimmoldesser is quite unique, Leila said with her head slightly tilted to the side, staring at Lindyss.
Lindyss stiffened as her hands stopped moving. Greetings, Leiandra, she said with an awkward smile.
Just call Leila, the silver dragon said and grinned. Not many people get to fly on Grimmys head. What was your relationship with him again?
Hes my bestest buddy, Lindyss said with a dry laugh. She recalled the first ti she t Leila and implied she had a lovers relationship with Grimmy.
Mmm. Leila humd. What about that thing from over ten years ago? She tapped her front claw against the ground. I think your words were, Grimmy was my light when everything was dark. He was the moon that lit up my night. The silver dragons eyes twinkled as she stared at Lindyss.
A bead of sweat ford on the elfs brow. She looked down at Grimmy, trying to catch his gaze, but the black dragon was preoccupied with cleaning his claws. Peals of laughter rang through the air as Leilas tail thumped against the ground. I was just teasing you, she said. Your expression was glorious. I think I can partially understand why Grimmy has such perverse hobbies now.
I do not! Grimmy said.
Leila smiled and nuzzled his neck with her snout. You dont have to be embarrassed when were the only ones here.
Lindyss sighed, but not audibly. Looks like she was third wheeling after all. At least shed get to see a new continent without having to worry about cleaning up Vurs sses. The poor parasitic creatures could entertain him instead.
