Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

When Arthur carried Amelia and jumped to the air, she knew what he intended to do, so it was easy to pick the two on the back of Birdy.

"Eat these," Arthur took out a large stock of the freshly cooked meat from inside his ring. Amelia, weakly, opened her eyes, looked at the meat in the hand in front of her face, and muttered in a soft voice:

"What is this?"

"Just eat if you want to prove me your worth!"

Arthur didn't intend to babysit these adults. He had the reasons to help and teach the youngsters from his own clan, but those were adult mages, already had their lives and pasts. He didn't want to entangle himself with any stranger unless he or she was worthy.

And he valued Amelia, highly valued her. Her new abilities that he didn't know made him craving to get to join her into his team. However, he must act this cool and aloof, or else this might backfire on him.

Amelia, after hearing these words, knew who's the man who gave her these meat. Her mind was blurry, and fuzzy with events she didn't know if they happened or not. So, trusting the man in front of her, she took the meat, as she put it into her mouth.

The moment the meat entered her mouth, it miraculously stimulated her taste buds, made her sense a new world she never heard of. As she chewed and swallowed, a surge of warmth invaded and permeated her body from inside, like a warm hug, giving her warmth, relief, and strength.

Suddenly, like a thick blanket thrown on her in the coldest nights of the winter, the meat pushed it away, to make her feel refreshed and alive again, vibrant like never before.

She breathed, and with each breath she felt stronger, and clearer. The first thing she saw was the place she was at, in the middle of the air!

Before she panicked, she touched, involuntarily, the ground she was on, to feel Birdy's feathers. She knew where she was, and thus she spotted two faces, Arthur and Lily, standing in front of her.

Arthur was acting aloof, as half of his attention was on her, and the other half was on the ground and the battle down there. As for Lily, she was like a curious little kitten, spying every now and then on her, while throwing these explosive rocks over the ground all the time, like a cool play a kid would have without being bored.

"You are getting better. Stay here with Lily, and don't join down below before eating this share of meat," Arthur said, as he took out, magically, a small hill of meat pieces in front of her. Amelia's senses were sharp, as once the meat came up, Lily stared at it in an envious, really envious way.

She then thought about the distant feeling she had when she was dizzy. She never managed to over exert herself and recover in less than a day. But now, she even didn't need a half hour, or even ten minutes to recover. She grabbed a piece of meat, wondering from the bottom of her heart about what magic trick was inside this piece of meat.

"Wh…" she was about to speak, and ask Arthur about this meat, but she didn't find him anywhere. Rapidly she stood up, to sway again for a moment, before she stabilized herself.

"Easy, you might fall from here," Lily said, as she thought she might fall for a second out there.

"Thanks," Amelia just thanked her, before she grabbed some meat, put them piece by piece into her mouth, while scanning the ground. She rapidly found Arthur, as his disappearance from the place, to save Amelia, disrupted the rhythm of battle. Monsters were now regaining their upper hand here, especially if the two mages weren't as half effective as Amelia did.

So, once Arthur went down, the first thing he did was to unleash his sword, and start hacking monsters everywhere. He didn't have a cool ability like Amelia, not yet, but he had his leg technique, and speed. So, he kept moving, in a speed that made him have after images, from place to place, injuring monsters everywhere, until gradually things calmed down for a bit.

The two mages, Gregory and Clovert, were now heavily panting, while they were now protected behind Arthur.

"Here, eat these and you will regain your energy," Arthur said, as he threw each one a pack of ten meat pieces, while disappearing again to slash some monsters. The two mages exchanged silent glances, before Clover whispered:

"I saw him giving the messenger of death this meat, and the next all I saw was her standing up on her feet again."

"No F*** way!" Gregory amazingly muttered, as he knew, as the whole world knew, how many hours Amelia's body needed to recover. The two then put the meat into their mouths, and suddenly they were filled with energy, like a switch being easily flipped between fatigue and energetic.

Once they tested the effects, they hurriedly ate the rest of their share. It was not compared with Amelia's at all, as Arthur was valuing them much lower than her.

Just as they finished, they rejoined the fight, again. Just as Arthur looked up to check on Amelia, he saw her jump, from that high altitude Birdy was at, and descended smoothly on the ground, using a white fog this time, emanated from her sword, not staff.

'Full of surprises still,' Arthur muttered, as he knew he wasn't needed to act with his full power right now.. He then left the fighting to the three, with the aerial support of Lily, and he went on resuming his collecting task again.
