Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 128 - Helping Silver Falcon In His Revenge

"I want to ask for a private mission," he said, looking hesitantly at the two girls beside him.

"Ok, let's go back and talk there," Arthur said, as he glanced at the two girls, asking them to stay.

The two went outside the tent, to the back, where there was no one there to bother them.

"Speak freely," Arthur said, as he noticed how stressful Falcon was.

"Well, you must have heard about my personal vendetta with the academy," Falcon started talking by saying this, which was welcomed by a nodding from Arthur. "The academy isn't the only thing I have vendetta with," he said, and paused, as his meaning was easy to guess.

"Was there another culprit to that old incident of yours?" Arthur asked, before adding, "this must be one of the clans nearby us, right?"

"The accident was done by the spoiled child of a great clan north west from here. The clan had many connections with the academy, and they recruited many mages from there and attacked my own home, completely destroying it, killing everyone except for me," he paused, as his face showed deep pain and much hatred to this clan.

"It's not your fault," Arthur said, as there was a tinge of self blaming inside this young man's soul.

"It's," he simply said, as he sighed a long sigh full of pain, as his mind retrieved very old and painful memories. "This is all my fault, as prior to this accident, I was in relation to that jerk's girl, or the one he chose to be his," he added, narrating what happened in the past.

"Do you regret fighting for her?" Arthur asked.

"No," Falcon shook his head, "but she was killed on the hands of that spoiled brat, and my own family, and her family got massacred for that," he said, before raising his eyes to look at him while saying, "I want to put this clan on top of our objectives, and I ask for permission to go there and gather the intel about them myself."

Arthur finally knew what this hidden gem wanted from him. He was, in fact, very happy for this rare opportunity to be presented to him like this. Silver Falcon was an ace, a future mage that would be a pillar for his future empire.

Doing this favor to him, helping him quench his thirst for vengeance, would be a great way to bind him to here, and make him indebted to him.

"Sure, you have my blessing for that," Arthur said, before pausing, "do you need anything to help?" he asked, as he knew Silver Falcon didn't come here just to ask him that.

"Well," he said, showing much hesitation, "I heard from others that you captured a five horned flying monster from before, and I thought having such a monster with me would add many advantages for me in this mission."

He finally said his own purpose for coming here, as he was aiming for that flying bird. For Arthur, he didn't need that bird, as he now had that scorpion, plus he could fly by himself if he needed to.

However, he faked being hesitant about this, as if this matter wasn't that easy to decide.

"I know it's extravagant for me to ask for that, but I need that bird's help, and I will be indebted to you for my entire life. I live only to have my vengeance, and after achieving it, my life will be yours to decide."

Arthur inwardly nodded, as this was what he wanted to hear from him. "Good, we can start the process now," he said, as he already finished the process inside his ring, before he gave it to Falcon for use.

"Wear it, and just say the magical word," Arthur added, while the face of Falcon was filled with ecstasy. Falcon didn't delay as he wore the ring, and muttered:

"Activate the contract."

The moment he said so, the monster inside vanished, and a bird tattoo appeared on the whole right arm of Silver Falcon, who glanced at it and marveled its beauty.

"Good," Arthur retrieved the ring, as he nodded in satisfaction, "just treat it well, and be aware the first few times of summoning it might be a little hard, so you need to practice here first," he added, sincerely advising him.

"I'm grateful for you, clan leader," Falcon said, as he knelt on the ground, expressing his deepest gratitude. Arthur just walked by him, patted him on the shoulder, as he muttered:

"I'm sure you won't disappoint me."

"I won't," Silver Falcon promised, before he stood up and went in the opposite direction with much determination. His long awaited revenge was already in sight, just a few months away.

Arthur went inside the tent with great spirit, as securing this ace meant a lot for him. He spotted the two beauties standing inside, waiting for him. He knew what Iman wanted, but he didn't know why Noura was there.

"You said that this absorption process wasn't the cure to my illness," Iman said, speaking directly to the point.

"Yes, I plan to make an elixir for you," he said, as he was thinking about giving her the special elixir he made for himself, but he knew she would be better to use the cold based elixir, a modified version of it.

"You know how to make elixirs as well?" Noura asked, as if this was the first time she heard about this, "you are a jack of all trades then!" she remarked.

Arthur didn't like this attitude at all, but he ignored it. He knew she was trying to open a topic to speak about, so she could speak about what she wanted.

"Just tell me what you want," he said, as he didn't like wasting time, especially if she would continue to act like this.

"In the academy, well," she paused, showing great hesitation before adding, "I want us to be separate inside the academy," she finally said.

"Separate?!" Arthur asked with some interest on his face, "Why?" he asked.

"Nothing," she lied, "I just know there to be a lone person, so don't tarnish my reputation please," she added, trying to cover up.

"Do you have a lover there?" Iman was the one to ask, as she understood what was going on here.

"What if I do?" Noura blurted out, as she had nothing more to hide, "I have a boyfriend there, and I don't want any trouble with him," she said.

Arthur looked at her, feeling there was something off here.. her attitude wasn't of someone who had a lover, not now, not before, so she was lying.
