Sung scratched her head and stared at the group of humans and one skeleton that had assembled in front of her and Vur. So, whats the aning of this? she asked and blinked at Tafel, who was catching her breath.
If were going to look for soone, wouldnt it make sense to have more people? Tafel asked. And it just so happens that these people are free.
That does make sense, Sung said and rubbed her chin. But whyd you call humans over instead of dragons? Humans cant even fly, and their legs are so short that they can barely move anywhere in a reasonable amount of ti.
Tafel scrunched up her forehead. Dragons are too difficult to teleport. I could barely bring these people over with your and Vurs help. How would I transport a dragon across an ocean?
Sung narrowed her eyes at Tafel before glancing at Vur. Shes such a handy little thing. Not only can she read your mind, but she can teleport people too. Whered you find her?
Alice turned to look at Tafel. You can read minds? she asked. Beside her, Mary and Mr. Skelly were staring at the demon too. Since when?
Tafel furrowed her brow before sighing. Well, since Prika is going to find a mate in there, I guess theres no point in hiding it anymore, she said. She bit her lower lip and stared up at Sung. Vurs not actually Prikas mate; hes mine. And he can speak too, but he doesnt lie, so Prika had pretend to be reading his mind to speak his thoughts.
Sung blinked twice. Then a wide smile appeared on her face. I knew it! Theres no way Prika couldve found a mate.
Tafel frowned. What makes you say that? Prikas actually a really nice dragon. Theres no way she can be single forever.
Sung nodded. She is, but that doesnt matter. There was one ti my siblings and I went out to find a fortunetellerwithout Prika because she already fled from ho. We wanted to know when Prika would find a mate, and do you know what that fortuneteller said? How did it go? I think it went like this. When the sands are sothing by the dead, when the god of the sun descends, when the seas are commanded by red, when the purple sothing sothing comprehends, and when the sothing becos a sothing, only then will your sister have a chance.
That was a lot of sothings, Tafel said. The rest of her party nodded in agreent.
Well, it was a long ti ago, Sung said and shrugged. Anyway, none of those things happened yet, so its obvious Prika cant find a mate. Anyways, is this everyone? She grabbed the receiver from the corner of them room and passed it to Vur. Alright, to get back, everyone has to touch the receiver and send so mana into it. Once that happens, a signal will appear on my end, and Ill be able to open a portal next to you guys to co through. Got it?
Sounds simple enough, Vur said. He coughed and cleared his throat. It feels weird not speaking.
Sung stared at Vur for a mont before nodding. And theres one more thing, she said. Once you guys go through, you might be placed into different areas, but it shouldnt deviate by too much. At least, you wont find yourselves separated by the distance from the land to the moon.
I wont be able to teleport around, Tafel said with a frown. Not until Ive gotten a good grasp of the coordinates there. In that case, if were separated, how should we find each other? Sa plan?
Plan? Whats the plan? Mary asked. She frowned, her hand resting on a swords golden hilt. You cant say sa plan when theres new people.
I dont know the plan either, Alice said. What is it?
I know! Vur said. We create a big ruckus, and Tafel finds us. He bead at Tafel. Right?
Yep.
Thats the plan? Alice asked with a raised eyebrow. Her hands twitched as if she wanted to hit sothing. Arent you supposed to be a top-tier adventurer?
Hey, Tafel said and frowned. if the plan works, then I dont see whats wrong with it.
No, no, Alice said and shook her head. Theres nothing wrong with it, nothing at all. Lets go by your plan, why not. After all, youre the leader.
I thought I was the leader, Vur said.
Mr. Skelly coughed. Your plan is the sa as Tafels.
Thats true.
Um. Are you guys done yet? Sung asked and tilted her head. This portal cant maintain itself forever, you know?
A wrinkled appeared on Tafels brow. It cant? What happens if it runs out of power before we find Prika?
Then I guess youre stuck there forever, Sung said and nodded. A mont later, she smiled. Just kidding! Once you go through, Im closing the portal anyway. Ill open it again when you activate that receiver. You might have to insert your mana into a few tis to get my attention, so dont panic if it doesnt open right away; I might be eating dinner or napping.
Alice raised her hand. When everyone turned to look at her, she asked, Can I not go? I just rembered I, uh, left the fire burning in the stove. She flinched when no one said anything. What? I dont want to go, okay? This dragon seems completely unreliable, and I dont want to get stuck in a strange place.
Sungs nostrils flared. Ill show you unreliable, she said and snatched Alice up with her paw. The guild leader didnt even have a chance to shout before she was thrown through the portal on the wall. Sung smiled at the remaining mbers of the group. Right, good luck. Bring Prika back soon. Im not sure how Ill explain myself to Mom if you take too long.
