Book 5: Chapter 49

In the middle of a room in the palace, Leila and Grimmy were lying next to each other. In front of them, on the ground, a thick tome made of stone was spread open in front of them. On the left side of the stone book, there were carved pictures of strange creatures. On the right side, there was a description written in an ancient language. Every time the two dragons turned the pages of the tome, a different creature and description would pop up.

This one looks pretty dangerous, doesnt it? Leila asked and raised an eyebrow.

Grimmy chuckled. These are all sealed creatures, he said. All of them are dangerous. If they werent dangerous, they wouldnt be sealed in the first place.

There was a shuffling sound, and the two dragons raised their heads. Grimmy closed the stone book and casually slid it under his belly, hiding it from view. A relatively small head poked into the room and looked around with wary eyes.

Ramon? Leila asked. Whats wrong?

Ramon limped into the room and sniffled. I want to go home.

Why are you walking like that? Leila asked and frowned. She noticed a big bump just above the base of Ramons tail. Did someone hit you?

Grandma spanked me because I didnt memorize the alphabet in time, Ramon said, his lips trembling.

Come here, Leila said and sighed. She placed her paw on top of Ramons head, and her eyes glowed with a silver light. A glow enveloped the bump on Ramons haunches, and within seconds, it disappeared. When it was gone, Leilas eyes stopped glowing, and she took her paw off of Ramon. Did your grandmother not give you enough time to learn? How come you didnt memorize the alphabet?

I was practicing the technique Vur taught me, Ramon said and pouted. But I wasnt good enough at it, and I fell asleep without learning anything.Geett the latest novels at novelhall.comon tilted his head. Were those things important? As long as he could hit and bite things harder than anyone else, did he really need to learn all the other stuff?

Kondra frowned. Since Lulu had left with Grimmys little elf, it was clear that the two of them shouldve been heading towards the southern continent to follow after Grimmy. However, she couldnt sense any hint of her youngest daughters aura at all. Kondra turned her head towards her mate. Can you sense Lulus traces?

Kondras mate shook his head. Its strange. I couldnt sense it at all even when we left the cave. Did the elf use a masking spell?

I dont know, Kondra said and narrowed her eyes. Currently, the two holy dragons were flying over the ocean separating the eastern continent from the southern continent. Once we reach land, it wont be too hard to find traces of them.

Even if we cant find Lulu, it shouldnt be difficult to find Grimmoldesser. We can ask him where Lulu went, Kondras mate said. While were there, we can see our grandchildren as well. Do you think theyre being taken care of? I hope theyre not being abused by Gren and Kal.

Kondra snorted. If they harm a single scale on Glorias body, Ill fight them to the death, she said and bared her teeth.

Just Gloria? Kondras mate asked and raised an eyebrow. What about Ramon?

Ramons a troublemaker, Kondra said. If he does something wrong, he deserves to be punished. In fact, if Gren and Kal arent properly educating Ramon, Ill fight them to the death.

Do all the fights have to be to the death? Kondras mate asked. If we really fought to the death, whose side do you think Leila would take?

Kondra fell silent. For a while, only the sounds of the dragons beating wings could be heard. Kondra snorted, breaking the silence. Ill fight Gren and Kal to the point of near-death.
