Possessed? No, how could he possess ? Alora shook her head back and forth. She wiggled her front claw. But, okay, yeah, this is Zyocuh. He ended up living in my claw due to circumstances. Im not possessed, promise.
Stella placed her hands on her hips, still half-embedded in Vurs snout. Thats exactly what a possessed person would say.
Alora furrowed her brow and scratched her snout. How was she going to convince soone that she wasnt possessed? Well, when in doubt, ask. Um, what can I do or say to make you think Im not?
You can recite Grimmys code of honor, Vur said before Stella could say anything. I told you it and not Zyocuh. Only you should know it.
Aloras face darkened. Yeah, I totally know it. Code number one, uh, never bite Grimmys tail. Ever.
Vurs eyes crossed to stare at the fairy on the tip of his snout. Youre right; shes possessed.
Im not! The codes dumb and stupid and I forgot it, alright!?
His actings really good, Stella said and nodded at Vur. I almost thought he was actually Alora for a second. Why dont you try hitting him with that purifying laser beam that Kondra used on you? It should cleanse her and fix her possession problem by removing Zyocuh.
Thats a good idea, Vur said.
Wait. Hold up, Alora said. Laser beam?
Vur nodded. Its a skill that cleanses things until they have a pure heart.
Or die, Stella added.
Alora took a step back as white light leaked out of the gaps between Vurs teeth. Wait a second, just holdon! She scread and leapt to the side as a bright, white beam of light shot out of Vurs mouth. It narrowly missed her head, hitting and incinerating the buildings inside of the empty town, leaving a line of destruction in its wake as if soone had taken an eraser to the earth. Alora turned her head behind herself. Her eyes bulged, and she whipped her neck back around to face Vur. Hold up! What part of that is cleansing!?
Vur tilted his head. Why did you dodge? If you let it hit you, youd know.
If I let that hit , Id die!
Vur blinked. Oh, right. Youre Zyocuh right now. He nodded. Thats why you dodged. His throat shone, white light accumulating in the back of his mouth. His voice was low and throaty, Dont worry, Alora. Ill free you soon.
You cant hurt family mbers! Alora shouted as she scrambled backwards and flapped her wings. Rember Grimmys code! You cant hurt family mbers! She ducked, and a laser beam flew over her head, barely missing her temple. Youre breaking the code!
Your aim is horrible, Stella said. You shouldve trained this instead of your lightning. Maybe you cant shoot down a star with a laser, but at least youd be able to cleanse a fleeing dragon. Look at how big she is, she cant be that hard to hit.
Did you just take a jab at my weight!?
She really does sound like she isnt possessed, Stella said and clicked her tongue. Zyocuh mustve interrogated her beforehand, or he took a portion of her mories.
This laser is harder to aim than it looks, Vur said and snorted. Kondra was just really good at it.
Really? Stella asked. To , it looks like you just point and shoot.
Thats why I said its harder to aim than it looks, Vur said, his mouth filling with white light. It looks easy, but its not.
Stop shooting! Lets talk this through, Alora said. Im really, really not possessed! I asked Zyocuh to help get stronger andshe dove to the side and rolled a few tis, dodging three consecutive but smaller laser shotshe just ended up inside ! Alora is still the one in control here!
If thats really the case, then let Vur cleanse you just to make sure, Stella said. If youre pure-hearted and not possessed, then it shouldnt hurt at all.
Why do you think Im pure-hearted? Alora asked, peeking her head out from the building that she rolled behind. If I had a pure heart, do you think Id ask Zyocuh to help get stronger in the first place?
Vur tilted his head. Why did you ask Zyocuh to make you stronger?
Alora puffed her chest out. Because of Grimmys code of honor!
Vur blinked. I thought you said you forgot it.
I cant rember the whole thing, but I rember this specific one because I want to use it to spite Grimmy, Alora said and nodded. It went along the lines of a dragon always gets revenge, right? Dont let go of the slightest slight or sothing like that? Without waiting for Vurs response, she continued, And Grimmy slighted . I have to get revenge.
Stella rubbed her chin. I can almost believe your story, she said with squinted eyes. But what did Grimmy do to you thatd make you ask Zyocuh to help you get revenge?
Well, Zyocuh actually asked to help him, Alora said and snorted. He tried to trick , but little did he know, my brain is literally bigger than his body, so of course I ca out on top. But I only agreed to help collaborate because Grimmy. A shiver racked Aloras body, and she lowered her head. He did things I dont want to talk about. Her eyes lit up, and she raised her head, her mouth contorted into a snarl. But he did them! And Ill have my revenge.
Vur glanced at Aloras claw. Then should I cleanse your claw?
Alora tucked her paw to her chest and covered it with her wing. Dont you dare. Im still using him to get stronger. Hes already helped get new secret powers that Im not telling you what they are because if I do youll tell Grimmy and ruin it for . She stuck her tongue out at Vur. I just have one more giant to absorb, and Ill be able to follow Grimmys code of honor by getting my revenge. You shouldnt stop from following Grimmys code.
