Hah! Volearden grinned upon seeing Malvina fuming on the ground in front of Tafel. The armored dragon shifted his gaze onto Vur before giving his great-grandson a thumbs-up. Not bad. Its quite a feat to shut a phoenix up.
Vur glanced down at Malvina. She glared back up at him and waved her wings while jumping up and down. Judging by the flames shooting out of her ears, it was safe to say she was upset. Vur ignored Malvina and nodded at Volearden. Dont fight here, Vur said. This is my sleeping spot.
The color on Voleardens helmet swirled. Youre right, the armored dragon said and nodded. I dont want to cause a ruckus here either, but you saw what happened; Malvina used her sound attack first. If she hadnt shut up, the trees and ground wouldve fallen apart from the vibrations. I was simply trying to stop her.
Vur blinked at Volearden. No wonder why Grimmy had sent Lindyss to chaperone him and Tafel. The cursed elfs advice of asking Volearden nicely to stop fighting had actually worked. As long as you know, Vur said and nodded his ocean-blue head. He glanced at the phoenix throwing a tantrum by Tafels side. Should I return her beak to her?
If I were you, I wouldnt, Volearden said before shrugging. But Im an old relic. The war on Erde has been over for quite some time, hasnt it? Youve never experienced the conflict between dragons and phoenixes nor developed the hatred that comes with it. The metal dragon exhaled. Youve even taken a phoenix as your wife. Its possible dragons and phoenixes will have to rely on the two of you to achieve peace.
Vur scratched his head. Stella was right when she said old people talked a lot. Vur pointed at Malvina. Polymorph.
swear Ill tear out your! Oh? The phoenix blinked and stopped her wild gestures before clearing her throat. She touched her beak with her wings before glaring at Vur. Never do that again! Do you know how rude it is to take away someones beak while theyre talking? Its even worse than telling them to shut up!
Tafel let out an awkward laugh as she tugged on Malvinas wing. Vur got Volearden and Fern drunk just like you asked, the demon said. You didnt do that just so you could fight them, right? Ive heard drinking lowers your inhibitions; maybe, you can use this opportunity to get to know them better. If you really try, the two of you can end the war between phoenixes and dragons since youre the leaders, right?
An overreaction? Me? Malvina asked. She glared at Tafel. How would you like it if someone breathed a mouthful of flames into your face?
Tafel furrowed her brow. I wouldnt like it very much, but I wouldnt get violent because of
Malvina hiccoughed, and a ball of phoenix flames struck Tafel in the face, the flames engulfing her whole head.
it!? Tafel spluttered and ducked before swiping at her hair with her sleeves. Upon realizing she hadnt been burnt thanks to being a phoenix herself, she raised her head and glared at Malvina.
The queen of the phoenixes stared back at Tafel.
Tafel took in a deep breath and relaxed her shoulders. The phoenix had simply hiccoughed on her on accident, the same way Volearden had hiccoughed on the phoenix earlier; if she were to get upset now, wouldnt that make her a hypocrite? Tafel cleared her throat and was right about to say something when the corners of Malvinas beak curled upwards into a smirk so smug it made the demon want to punch the bird right in her stupid, beautiful face.
Oops, Malvina said, doing nothing to hide her massive grin. That was an accident. I swear.
Vur, Tafel said as she clenched her fist. Give me all the buffs you got. Her eyes narrowed at Malvina. I dont think this phoenix is going to listen to words.
