Can we go now? Prika asked, rolling her eyes up. She was floating on the surface of the ocean, her wings completely spread to prevent herself from sinking. Werent we waiting for your friend and that elfs skeleton minion? Why does the skeleton get more action than ?
Tafel cleared her throat. Its only been a few minutes, she said. Give them so ti to finish whatever theyre doing. Her brow furrowed, and she tugged on Vurs arm. Hey. Whats that on the horizon?
Vur glanced at the horizon before shifting his gaze back onto Tafel. Oh, he said. Thats my fleet.
Your what? Tafel asked, raising an eyebrow. You built a fleet? I subordinated a few people and forced them to make boats to explore the New World, but they only made around ten ships. Her eyes narrowed. Theyve been holding out on . How many ships are in your fleet?
Vur shrugged and tapped on his forearm. Deedee, how many ships did you build?
I didnt keep track, Diamants voice said, Vurs rune lighting up. I kept constructing boats until there werent any more people left on shore.
Why did you bring so many people? Tafel asked. Were they following Prika? I didnt really ask, but how was your experience in this world? What did you do?
Vur rubbed his chin. I didnt like it, he said and shook his head. All I did was fly around, have Deedee make statues, cure sick people, and sleep. There wasnt even anything good to eat. He frowned and glanced at his stomach, touching it with his hand. But for so reason, Im not hungry.
Oh, Sheryl said from the sun-like rune on Vurs shoulder. Those people sacrificed and fed a lot of animals to you while you were sleeping. Thats probably why youre not hungry. There was a short pause. Im just wondering, but shouldnt Prika lead them back? Theres no need to go to this new land mass since we already found Tafel, right? It wouldnt be right to abandon them all right now. If we go ho, the boats will sink once Mistle and Zilphy are gone.
Prika grunted and rolled her eyes. Not only do we have to wait for a skeleton for who knows why, but we also have to bring these people to land? She sighed. I just want to go ho and throw Sung through a portal and see how she likes it.
Sorry for making you wait, Prika, Tafel said. How about this? Ill open a portal for the boats to enter the place I conquered. By the ti thats over, Ill fetch Alice and Mr. Skelly, and well be good to go.
Vur scratched his chin. Stella wanted to keep them since they were pretty strong, he said in a slow manner. He tapped on the tattoo on his chest. Stella? Are you there?
Not now, Vur. Stellas voice rang out. Along with it, there were so frantic squeaking sounds. Im a bit busy. Whatever you need, I trust your judgnt.
Wow, Tafel muttered and blinked twice. She must be really busy.
Vur tilted his head. Hmm?
Nothing, Tafel said. Anyway, well teleport them over, yeah? Its not like we can bring them back with us. Well be taking people from their hos and into a magical world where itll probably be hard for them to adapt. It just wouldnt be right. Besides, Exzenter warned of transferring large populations of species. Its not good for the local ecology.
Vur shrugged. Alright, he said and yawned. Im not attached to them anyway. He wrinkled his snout. They always try to feed themselves to for so reason. He glanced at the rune on his shoulder. They didnt feed any people while I was asleep, right? I think my tummy would be hurting if they did.
They didnt, Sheryl said. They tried, but Stella had Deedee stop them. After a while, they just stuck with dancing and bleeding around you instead of sacrificing people to you.
Tafel nodded. Its decided then, she said, her horns glowing silver. Ill create a portal. Have Mistle and Zilphy guide the ships into it. A line appeared above the ocean near the horizon, and it split open, a portal forming slightly ahead of the fleet of rocky boats. One by one, they passed through with the guidance of the wind and currents, disappearing from view. Sweat appeared on Tafels forehead. You really put a lot of mana into those boats, huh? Its a good thing theres so much mana in the air because it feels like Im transporting a couple of dragons.
Diamants voice ca out of Vurs arm. I didnt put any mana into
Dragons!? Prika asked, her voice thundering over Diamants. Did soone say dragons? Her head swiveled around, nearly tossing Vur, Tafel, and Mary off of it. Where?
Werent you listening to the rest of what I was saying? Tafel asked with a dark expression. Mary was holding her arm, keeping Tafel from being thrown into the ocean. Why did you only respond to the word dragons?
So, there arent any dragons? Prika asked and sighed. I obviously wasnt listening to you speak. Why would I listen to sothing so boring? She sighed again. You got my hopes up for no reason. I really thought my future mate was in sight for a second.
Tafel rolled her eyes and wiped the sweat from her forehead. It seed like all the boats had gone through. Alright, she said. Dont mope around; Ill make contact with Mr. Skelly and Alice again. They should be done by now. The first portal closed, and a second one openedslowly, at firstrevealing a red-faced guild master and a skeleton standing next to her. Tafel glanced at them and relaxed. They were wearing clothes. A neutral expression appeared on Tafels face, and she said, We found Vur and Prika. Are you two ready to go ho?
We can go at any ti, Mr. Skelly said, chuckling as he placed his arm around Alices shoulder. With a snap, she ripped it out of its socket. However, my skeletons found sothing interesting. Theres so bones, and theyre very big. They remind of dragons.
Prikas eyes lit up. Dragon fossils? She extended her claws and ripped the portal wide open before swimming through, destroying the building that Mr. Skelly and Alice were residing in with her large body. Where?
