Tales of The Mighty Dragonair

His hidden identity started to rise up to the top, slowly and shyly, veiled still with curtains, thick enough to shoulder what lies beneath them from his eyes.

"This pillar is a waste, spoiled with dark energy enough to corrupt it. it needs to be connected to a source of light, supported by a person in this world, such a hassle I'm too lazy to look for someone to take care of. It's better to demolish it then, and obliterate it from this world."

The eyes then shifted their gaze upon the huge pillar, and Arthur could feel the rise of energy around him, focusing mainly over the pillar.

Strangely, he didn't want this to happen, he wanted this pillar to himself! He paid an extreme price just to acquire it, and he wouldn't stand still while some unknown being was going to destroy it in front of his eyes!

As such, he started channeling all his energy, trying to resist the huge energy forced upon him. He mustered every ounce of strength here, and miraculously his body twitched, gaining advantage that the energy force on his body got much weaker.

"Oh, you can resist my restriction, impressive."

The owner of the voice said, and when Arthur felt the energy and restriction would be increased, the opposite happened; the energy instantly vanished, and he regained total control over his body.

"I'm interested in seeing what you plan to do, do you want to fight me? do you want to escape?" the owner asked, but the answer of Arthur came to startle him. "I want to obtain the ownership of this pillar."

The owner of these two huge eyes in the sky went silent for a moment, before saying:

"This pillar contained a huge amount of dark energy. Linking it to yourself will turn you wholly to the dark side, losing the touch of grace you have from him. Do you want to risk that? do you want to be a dark fighter as your ancestors were?"

Arthur didn't understand over half of this voice's words, and his reply came swiftly, expressing his determination, loudly declaring:

"I don't know what you are talking about, esteemed senior, but I neither plan to run or escape, or to be linked to the dark side at all! I paid a huge price killing all the dark mages and warriors, I shoved my path here with my sweat and blood of my followers, and I won't accept returning after all this empty handed."

The owner went silent again, as if he was thinking about the words of Arthur. "Interesting lad indeed, his eyes did never mistake anything or anyone before, and it seems this is also the case here. Listen kid, to link this pillar to you, you need to just drop your blood over it, however if you do so, it will be linked to you instantly, spoiling your body with filthy dark energy. If you wanted to keep your pure energy intact, you need to find a suitable light based source to be attached to this pillar and this world, joining the two together, and letting the light purify evil."

Arthur didn't know why, but when this venerable mysterious being spoke about light, he thought of his heavenly garden. He glanced shortly at it, imagining it lying peacefully around his human neck, before smiling as he said nothing, flapped his wings and moved towards the pillar.

The eyes just followed him, and didn't do or say nothing, while he got near that pillar in no time. the next thing he did was to injure his own wing with his claw, and a large drop of blood fell upon the pillar.

"Rumble!"

The whole world shook, and Arthur suddenly felt a huge energy entering his body. he didn't delay as he went to the ground, cancelled his own transformation, sat like he always did as a cultivator, closing his eyes, while focusing all his care and attention towards one thing only; resisting the invading energy!

It was really like the time he got connected with that orb, as a huge gush of energy flooded his body in no time, like a dam being broken suddenly, setting loose all the water behind to immerse the world.

However, this time Arthur didn't welcome this energy, instead he kept pushing it away, using all his own to surround and totally isolate it, while directing it entirely towards one of his hands.

The moment this energy started to reach there, he didn't delay moving his hand, fast clutching over the necklace around his neck, directly injecting the energy into this necklace. "I hope it works," he prayed, while continuing to channel the energy outside his hand towards the necklace.

"Oho, you have a light treasure, you are really a very lucky lad," the voice came to praise him, while Arthur had no strength left to even reply to him. all his focus was now laid over directing the invading energy towards the heavenly garden, and nothing more mattered now.

"Mark my words, lad, when you become strong enough to reach my place, come and look for me. ask about master Tonny, but don't use my name here, as your lowly plain had long forgotten my name."

The voice started to grow weaker, appeared like it was coming from a far distance, before the last words even came like soft whispers and then vanished!

It wasn't only the voice that vanished, but the pillar, the dark world, the dark trees, and even Tina and the remaining mages and warriors, all vanished from his eyes, to be replaced in the next moment with a very familiar scene.

"Sigh, I finally came back," he muttered, while glancing around himself, as the world he entered from that dark pocket space appeared in front of his eyes again.

"Are you ok? What just happened? where is that huge pillar?" Tina hurriedly came to him, feeling puzzled and worried. However, just as she was about to come, he hurriedly shouted:

"Don't let them escape!"

She knew from this simple order that he was fine, nothing wrong happened, and it seemed he gained a good fortune inside. She nodded, as she turned in the sky, hovering over the place where all the dark mages and warriors just appeared at. "Run and I promise you a painful death," she threatened, as her last warning seemed to be kind and soft to them, doing nothing to stop them from running away.

This time, the mages and warriors of the dark side didn't have the strength or the intention to run away. They all fell on their knees, taking their breaths, just like someone was on verge of death and now he was just rescued!

"They are lying like obedient little mice, what do you want to do then?" she asked, as she was surprised by their easy surrender to her.

"Next?" he muttered, before setting his gaze towards the remaining four dark hidden worlds, "let's just purify the world from their evil," he muttered, standing up, before summoning back his scorpion queen, and then summoning her again with his rhinoceros, who was still alive. "Keep an eye on them, and lead them to the place I will disappear at," he ordered, before jumping over Tina's back as he added, "if they run, you have the right to torture and toy with the runners as much as you want. Let��s go."

He then rose to the sky on Tina's back, and his mind was now thinking of one thing only, his heavenly garden.

"Let's see what happened to you," he muttered, before closing his eyes and moving his consciousness inside.
