Lulu glanced down, nearly causing Lindyss to fall out of her seat. Eh? What was that? the holy dragon asked. A black line with a streak of red blurred past the landscape. It was easy to spot because everything else below was brown.ViiSiit for latest novels
Lindyss added a slight modification to her icy throne, making it so that she didnt have to worry about being tossed off. She watched as the head of the black and red line went further and further into the distance, disappearing from view. Since it had come from a different direction and wasnt heading to where they were going, Lindyss stopped caring about it. There are all kinds of strange things in the world, she said and tapped the holy dragons head with her foot. Quit looking at it. Have you forgotten it was your curiositys fault were here in the first place?
I was just looking, Lulu grumbled before raising her head. Her eyes lit up upon seeing a small black dot amongst the sea of brown in the distance. Whats that?
Lindyss shielded her eyes from the sun with her hand. That should be where Grimmy is.
You have some kind of connection with him? Lulu asked, rolling her eyes up to look at Lindyss. How do you know hes there?
Its question after question after question with you, isnt it? Lindyss asked and lowered her hand. However, a second later, she brought her hand back up to block the suns rays. Her brow furrowed. From the hole in the distance, something silver with wings emerged. For some reason, she got a bad feeling. A holy dragon. That should be Leila, right?
What other holy dragon would come here? Lulu asked and rolled her eyes. Its not like my mom would. Lulus voice trailed off, and she let the lower half of her body drop downwards. Her wings spread wide, and her flight gradually came to a halt. She flapped her wings to hover in the air. Why does that holy dragon look like my mom? Her eyes bulged, nearly falling out of her head. Wait! That is my mom! What do we do!?
Contrary to Lulus expectations, there was no response. She glanced up at her head, but the cursed elf was nowhere to be found! The holy dragon looked around. In the distance, a cursed elf with translucent, purple, batlike wings was flying away. Lulus jaws dropped open, and she flapped her wings, turning her body to chase after the cursed elf; however, a bolt of lightning flashed from Lindyss hand, striking Lulus head. The icy throne exploded, leaving no trace of its existence behind. Dont follow me! Isnt it better for one of us to live instead of dying together?
Lu-In-Dra! Do you know how much trouble youre in!? You better stop running, right now!
Lulu gulped, and she dropped the lower half of her body down. She spread her wings out, coming to a halt once more. She watched with a helpless expression as the seagull got further and further away. Werent they supposed to be partners in crime? What happened to the basic trust between elves and dragons? Was this the cruel world of adults her mother was trying to protect her from? Lulu turned around with tears in her eyes. Mommy, Ive been bullied!
The flames in Kondras eyes dimmed upon seeing her daughters expression. The thrum of her wingbeats died down as she used less force to head towards her daughter. Her eyes rolled up and down as she inspected Lulus body. What happened to you? Who painted you green?
Its all that cursed elfs fault! Lulu wailed. She forced me to carry her across the ocean. Afterwards, she brought me to a strange beach and made me catch fish for her. One of the fish was sealed inside this thing, and I didnt want to open it, but she made me do it! The fish stung me, and now my scales are green from poison!
Kondras eyes widened. Where is she now?
She flew that way, Lulu said and pointed in the direction the seagull had gone. She brought me here because Grimmy knows how to cure me, but she ran away when she saw you.
Kondra narrowed her eyes, remaining silent as she pumped her wings to hover in the air. After staring for a bit in the direction Lulu had pointed, she shook her head. Lets get you fixed up first. Well deal with the elf later.
Lulu nodded and exhaled when her mother turned around. Since Lindyss abandoned her first, why would Lulu valiantly take all the blame for her? It only made sense to throw the cursed elf under the carriage.
