Tales of The Mighty Dragonair

He was upside down right now, and if his technique linked, he would end up hitting the ground massively, creating a deep crater. So, he relaxed his leg, didn't complete the technique, holding himself back, and thus his body regained his momentum, and started rotating again.

When his body became straight, he unleashed his full technique, hitting the air violently, feeling a severe pain along his leg muscles.

However, it wasn't the time to be distracted, as he had moved, unwillingly, under the effect of that huge cloud of smoke, slightly away from the place of the monster.

This wasn't in his plan, as he didn't perceive the huge damage of the oil. Just as he was looking for any thread of hope, a line of feathers passed rapidly across his face, to finally find a familiar body under his feet, carrying him away.

It was Birdy, with Lily on its back, with a very worried look of horror over her face.

"No, no, return, return back now!"

Arthur didn't even stabilize his body or say a thanks to the impressively timely appearance of her, as he asked her to return. She was about to open her mouth to say something, but he hurriedly said in a decisive tone:

"Return back now, there is no time to waste."

He was panting, and his clothes were already tattered in many places, clouded with the black smoke, even turning his face into black color. Lily swallowed what she was about to say, as from the urgent tone of him she realized how bad the situation was. She hurriedly ordered Bridy to take a sharp turn, that was enough to make him lose balance, but he caught the long feathers of Birdy at the last moment.

His body was full of injuries, either surface or deep hidden ones. His leg muscles were torn in many places, and even his mouth had a long, dried line of black blood that was enough to express how dire his situation was.

However he didn't give up, he knew if he didn't act now, linking all the steps he had done so far together with this last step, he would lose this opportunity, and next time this arrogant monster wouldn't give him a chance to act.

Just as Birdy flew just adjacent to the place of that monster, where a thick pillar of black smoke kept rising up, with extreme elevated temperature, Arthur let the feathers go, to free fall from this altitude, directly with great momentum towards the ground.

As he just adjusted his body with a very painful move, he tried to console himself, enduring this pain, by thinking that the worse had yet to come. He used his senses to scan the area, confirming the place of the monster, which seemed to receive a sudden hit that it didn't count for.

It was now standing still, with a thick fire emerging from it. Arthur knew this would be risky, but it was the only way he could think of to deal with this monster. the thing that made him more depressed, was the fact the guardian monster was even way stronger than this one.

If he had such a hard time dealing with such a monster, how could he deal with that guardian? Arthur knew his luck was great, but he doubted it would be great enough to make him defeat that guardian now.

Pushing away these random thoughts, he focused, greatly focused, on the place he was falling so rapid towards. His prior plan was to fall directly above the monster, but now he couldn't achieve that, and he was extremely glad he couldn't.

If he fell from such height, facing all this black smoke with very dangerous high temperature, he would have been burnt long before he reached the monster.

Now, he had the advantage to skip this, but he had now to shift his fall, to enter this smoke, and to endure the burning as much as he could, and be, hopefully and luckily, awake when he reached the monster.

Gritting his teeth, and his mind playing games on him, picturing the pain he would be subjected to, he shifted the direction of his fall using his leg technique, to fall directly above the monster, violently entering the black smoke and fire region.

Once entered there, he was welcomed by a thick, extremely scorching wave of heat, and choking smoke that made him unable to breath, open his eyes, or even feel anything.

Luckily, though, he was using his senses to search for his location, and thus when he couldn't see anything, he knew his exact position, used his leg technique to push his body slightly upward, before rolling up his body upside down, extending his hand downward, piercing through a burning layer of extremely violent fire, and touched the hard shell of the monster.

"ENTER MY RING!"

He screamed, out of pain, suffocation, and torture, as the huge body of that monster vanished, with the huge fire, and that thick pillar of smoke. The place he was just falling into had, miraculously changed, from hell to paradise for him, however he had no strength left in him, and the mild fall he was subjected to had made him unable to move.

It was like the monster had tortured him over and over again. his whole body was covered in burns, and even his muscles appeared under his skin. His hair was burnt, even his eyelashes were gone. His eyes were red, extremely red like they were about to burst at any moment.

He was vomiting blood from time to time, as he felt everything despite the numbness spreading into his body. He felt when Lily reached him first, cried on his side like he was dying. He felt when every single member of his little team reached here, to be extremely shocked by the devastation here, and the horrible state he was in.

The most shocked and even crashed beside him was Ron, who couldn't help himself and screamed like he had already lost a brother. Arthur was touched by all of their reactions, even the newly joined to his team were extremely shocked and sad.

The huge explosion that happened here was already enough to alarm every single living being in the radius of tens of miles, if not hundreds of miles. Everyone rushed here fast to be shocked by what they saw. None of them knew what happened, none except Lily, who was so shocked and devastated that she couldn't stop crying into the huge Amelia, with only one word on her little lips: I'm sorry!

Arthur knew his body condition was very bad, and he didn't expect this to be the end result of everything. He had already faced many tribulations before, but it seemed his soul was ironclad, and his body was a clay.

Every breath was so painful and tiring that he started to hope not to breathe again. He even closed his eyes, when the lights around him started to fade away. He wasn't able to retain his consciousness, even when he tried to, he had failed, for the second time in a row he had failed in a great test, and he didn't deserve a second chance anymore.

'Don't think like that, my love, I will save you.'

This sweet voice echoed in his mind, like a warm spring that could heal even the deep wounds of the soul. Amidst the darkness of his soul, a light shone so bright that was enough to enlighten everything around him. He couldn't bear to look at it, so he closed his eyes and opened them, to be met with a face so beautiful that he even forgot to breathe. This face was familiar, so familiar to him, but he couldn't tell whose face was.

The face just giggled, as the light that shone a brief moment ago came from here, and without any notice, she leaned over him, kissed his dry, burnt lips passionately like it was the last kiss between the two.

This moment froze the time itself, the whole world was silent, still, not moving forward in respect to this moment, which seemed to last forever.

The face moved away from him, ending the kiss he dreamt not to end, and she chuckled, in a way he never saw before, so mesmerizing that he felt there was no other woman out there but her.

'Unfortunately I can't be with you anymore, I have to return to my clan residence, and I won't be able to leave there anymore. Don't cry for me, don't look for me, I will always live happily knowing you are living happily as well. Thanks for the brief moments we knew each other at, these were priceless moments, and thanks for your help, I now evolved and can join my real clan.

If you ever wanted to remember me, remember my new name, Zilia. I want you to live prosperous, be happy, and rule over this world with your might. I will always cheer for you, even if I can't ever see you again. good bye my love."

The soft voice echoed in his ears, and he was given a long hug, before the angelic body and face of this goddess started to turn into spots of lights, so shiny and beautiful that even the sun couldn't rival them. eventually her body vanished, and the spots of light faded until they dimmed and disappeared.

And finally the whole world regained its clarity, its vitality, and its brutality, and Arthur sat up in his place, looking in a shocking gaze, without a single scratch or injury in his body.

It was as if the dying version of him a moment ago was an illusion in the eyes of others, who just opened their mouths agape, and even retreated a couple of steps, before they screamed, ran towards him, and gave him a long, very passionate hug, full of tears and cries of joy.

He also cried, but from the pain he felt deeply in his heart, as he lost someone, someone so dear to him that he felt this much pain when she vanished. He cried, and for the first time in his life he swore for a woman, no matter what, he wouldn't stop until he found her home, and take her, even by force, from there.

As she saved him, he would save her, no matter what!
