Kondra wrinkled her nose and frowned. She raised her head and shouted, Lulu, take Alfonse out for a walk, would you? The holy dragon lowered her head and rested them on her front paws. She closed her eyes and spread her wings, letting them soak in the moonlight. After a few minutes, one of her eyes creaked open. Her youngest daughter had actually ignored her. Lulu? Take Alfonse out for a walk. Now!
Kondra exhaled out two jets of steam through her nostrils and closed her eye. Not that long later, Kondras brows furrowed, and she stood up. She went over to the corner that Alfonse was in and shot a laser beam at the ss the bear had left behind. Her gaze landed on the shivering creature, and she let out a snort before turning her attention away. Young lady, if you dont co out right this minute, Ill go in there and get you. Dont bla for what happens then!
There was still no response coming from Lulus room. Kondra slamd her tail against the ground. Ten! She took a step towards Lulus cave. Nine! She took another step. Eight. She dragged out the word, letting her daughter know she ant business. Seven! Really? Lulu wasnt even going to respond? If that was the case. Three, two, one!
Kondra stomped her way into the tunnel leading to Lulus room. I gave you a chance, she said. And you didnt. Lulu? Her head poked inside of her daughters room, but it was completely empty. There wasnt a holy dragon in sight. Kondra whirled around. Has anyone seen Lulu?
I think I heard her leaving with the cursed elf, Leo said, his voice echoing out of his room.
Leaving? Kondra asked, her eyes widening. Leaving where?
I dont know.
Kondra couldnt see her son, but she could hear him shrugging through his voice. Her eyes narrowed. If Grimmys cursed elf was the one that brought her daughter away, then there was only one place they couldve been going. She nudged her sleeping mates shoulder. Wake up. Were going to get our daughter back.
Kondras mate yawned and opened his eyes. He rubbed them with the backs of his paws. Were bringing Leila back? he asked. I thought you were fine with Grimmy. Overall, he doesnt seem like such a bad dragon. What changed your mind?
Not Leila, Kondra said and growled. She glared at her mate. Were you even listening to a thing I said?
I was, Kondras mate said and bobbed his head up and down. But I was also asleep, so.
Kondra huffed. Lulu was taken away by Grimmys little elf, she said. Were going to go to the southern continent and get her back.
You knew she went to the southern continent, but you didnt stop her? Kondras mate asked and tilted his head. He leaned back and covered his mouth with his paw. Forget I said anything. Were going to the southern continent to bring Lulu back. Got it.

Lulus eyes widened at the sight below. What is this place? she asked and gulped. Her eyes shone, and she couldnt help but sweep her gaze back and forth over the land. There are so many hard-to-find ingredients!
Youve never been to a beach before? Lindyss asked and raised an eyebrow. Dont go wild with your collecting, or youll ruin the ecosystem. Those corals and reefs are quite important to the survival of many ocean species.
Lulu bobbed her head up and down, nearly throwing Lindyss off of her head. She descended and landed on the beach with a thump, kicking up a cloud of sand. She leaned her head to one side, allowing Lindyss to slide off. And its not like I havent been to a beach before. Its just that Ive never been to such a massive one. The beach by my place is a bit frozen and stuff; there isnt really anything on the shore.
Lindyss reached into her pocket and pulled. As her arm pulled back, a long shadow was drawn out. It expanded to the size of a person before receding, leaving a chair held in Lindyss hand. She placed it down and took a seat. She reached into her pocket again and pulled out a pair of sunglasses. After she put them on, she took an empty glass out of her pocket along with a few small crystals. She placed the crystals in the glass and tapped on the rim. Water filled the cup, and she gave it a swirl, letting the crystals dissolve while releasing tons of bubbles.
Wheres mine? Erin asked, popping out from Lindyss hair.
Make it yourself.
Erin pouted. She covered herself with a layer of mana, took in a deep breath, and dove into Lindyss pocket. A few seconds later, she ca out with a glass and a few crystals. Her face was pale, and she was noticeably thinner than before, her cheekbones especially prominent. You have too much junk in there. I almost got lost.
Lindyss shrugged. Be glad I left the entrance open.
There was a loud splashing sound, and a pillar of water rose into the air. A mont later, Lulu surfaced to the top of the ocean. She spat out a fountain of water. Howd you find this place?
Thanks to Vur, Im practically the ruler of the world, Lindyss said. I have maps of every continent, and its really hard to miss a beach as large as this.
And my parents wont find us here?
I wouldnt count on that, Lindyss said. No matter where I hide, Grimmy always finds a way to abduct whenever he needs . If your parents ask Grimmy for help, hell lead them straight here.
Lulu laughed. As if my mom would ever ask Grimmy to help her with anything, she said. Im pretty sure shed rather die than ask a cursed dragon for help. She stroked her chin while the waves bobbed her head up and down. Then again, I suppose shed fight him to make him do what she wanted. Who do you think would win in a fight? Grimmy or my mom?
Ive taught your mother a lesson once, Lindyss said and stared at the floating dragon, but I cant say the sa about Grimmy.
Lulu frowned. Is Mom really that weak? she mumbled to herself before diving into the water.
