Alora bounced the sheepman in her paws up and down. It bleated and struggled to stay upright, its limbs flailing in all directions. Alora humd and brought her paw close to her mouth, enough for the sheepman to feel her hot breath on its body. She snapped her jaws shut, and the sheepman bleated even louder, barely able to keep its arm out of her teeths range. Alora chuckled and lowered her palm, still bouncing the sheepman.
A small voice ca out of her claw, Im not sure Im helping the right dragon anymore. It flashed with a white light. Youre quite evil yourself.
What? Alora asked, stopping her movent. Im evil because I play with my food beforehand? What kind of nonsense is that?
When your food is alive and begging not to be eaten, then yes, thats evil.
Is it evil to add peppers to your food? Alora asked. Things taste better when theyre frightened. Im not allowed to eat good food otherwise Id be labeled as an evil dragon? I dont think thats very fair, and quite frankly, if eating good food makes an evil dragon, then call Alora, the evilest dragon in the world.
Alright, Alora, the evilest dragon in the world, Zyocuh said. How about you stop wasting ti and catch the rest of the sheepn?
Alora sighed and threw the sheepman in her paw up into the air. As it fell, she positioned her mouth below it and snapped her jaws shut, its bleats disappearing. She swallowed and licked her lips before arching her back, stretching her front paws forward as her haunches rose into the air. Her eyes squeezed shut as she groaned, her wings fully extending. Then she exhaled and opened her eyes, straightening her back as she sat up. So, how many of these do you think are left? Im getting a little full.
I think you ate the majority of them, Zyocuh said. If I still had a body, Id be able to check how much you absorbed based on your mana, but I cant do that. After we get revenge on your uncle, you are helping create a body, right? Just making sure.
Uh-huh, yep, of course, Alora said as she looked around. She was in a small town that had empty streets and abandoned buildings. Doors were left open, and a few mice scurried to-and-fro. Alora lifted her head, pointing her nose and the sky and sniffed. Hmm. Are there any more sheep left in this town? I wonder. It certainly slls like sheep.
There was a small sneezing sound, and a few rats scurried out of a nearby basent window. Alora grinned and lumbered over to the building that they ca out of. She dug her claws into the ground and pulled, lifting the house up, revealing a group of huddling sheepn. The house went flying as Alora threw it aside, and she stopped a fleeing sheepman by squishing him with her tail, using just enough strength to pin him down but not enough to seriously injure him. Why hello there, Alora said. She grinned, showing her teeth. Yall shouldve said sothing when I asked. I almost missed you.
Yep, youre evil, Zyocuh said. Im starting to regret this.
Alora ignored her sparkling claw and scooped up the sheepn as if they were cookies on a tray. Im not a an dragon, she said to the trembling red creatures. If you tell where your friends are, I might let you go. What do you say?
Baaa, we wont betray our
Ill tell! Baa, Ill tell! Please, dont eat, baaaa, .
Four sheepn turned to stare at their companion who was positioned behind them. Alora chuckled and plucked the lone sheepn off her paw and placed him onto the ground. Then she opened her mouth and threw the rest inside her gaping maw. She chewed a few tis and swallowed before grinning at the lone sheepman, her teeth stained red. Well, where are they?
I-I dont, baaa, know their exact locations, b-b-b-baaa, but I can help you find them! The trembling sheepman bobbed his head up and down. His expression stiffened, his eyes widening. Alora frowned as a chill ran down her spine, and she turned her head to follow the sheepmans gaze. The sheepman let out a joyful bleat followed by a cry, Great leader! O might leader! Save !
An ocean-blue dragon ca crashing down from the sky, driving Alora into the ground. She yelped and wriggled as she was pushed back dozens of ters, destroying the buildings and trees in her way, leaving behind a line of overturned dirt. The ocean-blue dragon smashed down with his tail, forcing Alora onto her stomach when she tried to climb to her feet. Ow! What the heck!? Vur!?
Vur froze, his tail inches away from slamming down on Alora again. Alora?
If not Alora, then who the heck do you think I am? Alora asked, pushing Vur off of herself. She rolled onto her feet and glared at him. She shook herself, knocking the dirt from her scales onto the ground. Why the heck did you tackle ? Dont tell it was another one of Grimmys rules.
Vur scratched his head. Why are you purple?
Aloras eyes narrowed. Is that really the first thing youre going to say to ? Youre not even going to apologize for driving into the ground? Thats really not cool.
Sorry. Vur blinked. Why are you purple?
Alora sighed. Why arent you purple?
Vur looked down at his scales. Then he raised his head to et Aloras gaze. Because Im blue.
Then Im purple because Im purple, Alora said. Happy now?
No. Vur shook his head. You were blue before, and now youre purple. I was blue before, but Im still blue.
Alora closed her eyes and rubbed the sides of her head with her paws. Im purple because purple looks nice, okay? Theres no real reason.
Vur squinted at Alora before leaning back and relaxing. Youre eating my people.
Your what?
Vur pointed at the trembling sheepman that was near the start of the line of overturned earth. My people.
Your people are red sheepn? Alora asked, tilting her head.
Vur nodded. Yes, and youre eating them.
Alora scratched her snout. Oh, uh, sorry. I didnt know.
Vur frowned, his brow wrinkling. According to Grimmys code of honor, I have to show you your place for invading my territory. But I dont know how to do that anymore. He scratched his head and sighed. Then I have to tell Grimmy since I cant do it.
