Lindyss tossed a red orb up and down. That wasnt very fair at all, she said and shook her head. Surrounding her, a little more than half of dozen dragons were lying around with their mouths and claws stained red. There was one crushed dragon skeleton resting on top of a red puddle, its limbs ground into dust. Its still a sha I lost a skeleton though.
Undead are ant to be used, Grimmy said and thumped Lindyss back with his paw. He knocked her over onto the ground from the blow. You were saving it for sothing important, werent you? If this wasnt important, you wouldnt have lost it, but since you did, then it was worth spending.
Lindyss spat out a mouthful of mud as she pushed herself up with her arms. Watch your strength, you oaf, she said and glared at the black dragon. Am I going to be compensated for my lost skeleton?
Compensation? Grimmy asked and raised an eyebrow. Why would you need compensation for accomplishing a good deed? The sense of satisfaction from achieving good in the world should be all the compensation you need.
Satisfaction wont replace what Ive lose, Lindyss said with a scowl.
Then do you want to gift you another soul? Grimmy asked and grinned. I can do that. Which one would you like this ti? A beast tars? A phoenixs?
Lindyss furrowed her brow. Why do you have a phoenixs soul?
Grimmy shrugged. You know how things are, he said. Things just happen and sohow things end up the way they do.
Ill take the phoenixs soul, Lindyss said and nodded. A mont later, she frowned. Which phoenix did this belong to?
Grimmy chuckled before reaching behind his wing, pulling out a hazy red orb. Despite what you say, youre quite greedy, arent you? As for the phoenix this belonged to, it doesnt really matter, does it? He held out his paw, offering the orb to Lindyss. She grabbed for it, but Grimmy moved his claw forward and smacked the cursed elfs forehead, planting the hazy mist directly into her face. She yelped and clawed at her face before curling up into a ball, hugging her knees to her chest as she lay on her side in the fetal position.
The annoying trio, Seras sister, and Seras sisters mate turned to stare at the fallen elf. Um, Bonnie said and bit her lower lip. Is she okay?
This happens all the ti, Sera said and wiped at her mouth with the backs of her paws. She spat a few tis, shooting out bits of red saliva. You can ignore her.
Is, is that so? Bonnie said and swallowed. Lindyss was rocking from side to side, thumping her knees against the ground with every twist. Bonnie snuck a peek at Grimmy, and his eyes t hers. She froze, her wings stiffening against her sides. Y-yep. She looks perfectly healthy. Nothing wrong here.
Did I hear that right? Tafel turned towards Vur. His face was also smudged with red liquid, his claws tinting the ground red. Grimmy just slapped a phoenixs soul into Auntie?
I heard it too, Mary said. She pursed her lips and walked up to Grimmy, holding out her arms which were covered by leather gloves. Give back my sword and armor, please.
Grimmy snorted. You always cause trouble when you have that sword, he said. Why should I give it back?
Thats not true, Mary said and pursed her lips. Sword, please.
Oh? Have you been causing trouble without your sword? Grimmy asked and raised an eyebrow. His gaze landed on Tafel and Vur. Has she?
No, Tafel said and shook her head. Shes been very well-behaved.
And there you have it, Grimmy said. If you have your sword, youll cause trouble. You wont cause trouble without your sword, so I think its better for to hold onto it. Besides, its, uh, lted and stuff. You probably dont want it back anyway.
Marys eyes widened to the size of saucers. Its what?
Grimmy blinked. You saw us dismantle that giant blood giant just now, right?
Mary nodded. Yes. It was very impressive. What did you say happened to my sword?
Grimmy pointed at Lindyss. I let her use the sword to dig out the core. And it partially lted.
Mary bit her trembling lower lip. But why would you let her use my sword?
Like I said. Grimmy shrugged. Things just end up the way they do. Crying about it now wont bring back your sword. I suggest you find a new one. Good luck.
Mary turned towards Tafel, staring at the demon with watery eyes that threatened to spill over at any mont. Tafel sighed and ran her hand through her hair from the front of her head to the back. She walked up to Mary and held her hand before nodding at Grimmy. Do you think you can spare one of your swords that I know you hoard for Mary?
I want my sword, Mary said and sniffled. She blinked hard, her eyes burning.
Nope, Grimmy said. Those are my swords. Maybe if you do a quest for , Ill consider it.
Tafel squeezed Marys hand. Do you want to do a quest for a sword? It might be even better than your first one.
How am I supposed to do a quest without my sword? Mary asked in a tiny voice.
Thats simple, Grimmy said. He grabbed Lindyss and frowned. Stop squirming. The elf cursed at him as he rummaged through her pocket and pulled out a crying baby turtle with an attached snake for a tail. He dropped Lindyss onto the ground and rolled the turtle over to Mary. Here. Raise this thing. It reminded of you because you both cry a lot.
Mary stared at the turtle pawing at her foot. She blinked away her tears and raised her head to glare at Grimmy. How long do I have to raise it for?
Grimmy shrugged. Not sure. Until its old enough for to harvest its soul.
Sera glared at Grimmy and spoke while Marys mouth was hanging open in shock, I think you should go to Leila and help her watch over your egg. She needs to be around you to keep you in check.
