Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 255 - The Sky Castle

The next star was the one Sara went into. Arthur directly entered the star with Tina, and as they were moving towards the distant portal, they found Tina hovering over the pillar area, doing nothing but killing some warriors and mages running here and there every once in a while.

"You finally came," she sighed the moment she spotted him on the back of Tina.

"What are you doing here?" Tina asked, before Arthur could say anything.

"The portal was sealed already, so I came back."

Tina was about to speak when Arthur patted on her head. "Let's go, things are much more complicated than you think."

Unwillingly, she flapped her wings fast and strong, feeling some discontent for stopping her in the middle of her words. Arthur didn't want to speak here, near the warriors and mages, as they might be alarmed with his goal and might do something to the portal. after all the seal was laid down and controlled by them.

During the flight, Arthur narrated simply what he found, kept his theories to himself, while ending his words by asking:

"Was there such a strong sealed place in your days that held great treasures?"

"Hmm… There was no such thing back in my day, so it must be the work of the latter generations. But why do I have no collection about it from those old hag memories?"

"Don't stress yourself, after all this old hag was so small compared to the whole world."

"Who is this old hag? Huh?"

Arthur only sighed while Sara repeatedly said the story about how she came back from the world of the dead to here. the distance remained from the portal was filled with the long and stupid debates between the two of the girls about who had the higher moral right here, Sara or the old hag Sara!

And Arthur just kept his mouth shut, refraining from entering such a mess!

He took this time to make runes for the sealed portal. He knew how important his runes were, and it seemed many of this Dorfis clan's strongest weapons were negated easily by his runes.

So, he decided to take the journey to and back from the portal each time to make runes –different kinds of runes, and as much as he could make.

"Here is the portal, how can we unseal it?" Sara said suddenly, interrupting the concentrated work of Arthur on the runes. he glanced at the distant portal as he muttered:

"I will deal with it," then he looked at Tina beneath him, "take me there."

He pointed towards a direction where he started to lay down his breaking array. In half an hour he stood over the last place of buried runes, dropped a blood drop over it, and activated the array.

"Rumble!"

Like before, the whole world shook, and a gush of wind erupted strongly from the direction of the portal. "What a mighty effect of such a small array!" Sara remarked with surprise over her face.

"I know, right? I also was astonished the first time I saw this!"

"It's not caused solely by my array, it's the strange sealing mechanism here and its effect over the castle out there. let's go!"

Arthur led the two girls outside while Tina was mumbling something about his bias towards her, which he completely ignored.

"That's impossible! The sky castle is still there!!!"

The instant they went out of the portal, Sara paused in her place, while her eyes never moved away from the distant mountain veiled in fog and that distant blurry castle outlining appearing from this far.

And she just muttered these words.

"Castle of the sky? What is this?" Tina asked in a hurry the question Arthur had in mind, so he remained silent, listening to Sara's words.

"It's one of the most sacred, most secret places of our world! there is no way they could learn this easily from the absorbed souls. We all have a banning array around our souls protecting such precious info. They must have found it by chance, sigh!"

"Is it a treasure?" Tina asked again.

"It's a sacred place holding the most valued treasures ever, but don't ask more as I can't answer any."

Tina was about to ask again, enjoying this feeling of superiority that she lacked, however Arthur just patted on her shoulders, silencing her, while she mumbled something like her usual.

"I want to ask three things, and I think they aren't related to the sealing you have," he said, trying to reassure her, "is saving this place worth it for me and my still new empire? If I saved it, will this be a good blow to my enemies? I came here feeling the strange and weird nature of this region, but I couldn't ascertain why the energy was so chaotic here, and how the sealing process even worked. I even can't tell the array used to seal it or the array used to break it!"

His three questions were thrown at Sara, who just stayed silent, as her mind was retrieving distant memories, memories she thought she would never recall!

"It's very crucial for you to gain what's inside if you want to build an everlasting empire," she started replying by saying these non-specific words, yet she replied on his, "and for sure, without me knowing any details about their hideous wicked dirty plans; saving here will deal a devastating blow to them!"

Her tone was very resentful, while her glare over the distant castle was filled with determination. "What about the sealing mechanism here?" he demanded.

"I can't tell you the details of it, sorry," she said shaking her head, "but I can correct your mistake here; it's not an array at all, it's a design, a ground buried natural energy flow design."

"Fey Lines design!!!" he was extremely shocked, as this didn't even cross his mind at all. "Can you feel the Fey Lines? Are you a Few Lines master?" he asked with tone expressing his current mood.

She turned to glance briefly at him. "So you call it Fey Lines design? Noted, but I'm no master of this. In fact in each generation only few, really few gifted people would have such a talent," she said.

"Sigh," he sighed, as this was also the case back in his previous cultivation world. "It seems those masters are really gems buried scarcely in the mountain," he whispered, while glancing at the distant castle as he added:

"Let's go, we know what we have to do here, and we have to act fast before the Dorfis clan sends out any reinforcements."

The three returned to the pocket world, while Arthur kept working over his runes, Sara went silent thinking about the sky castle and what lies inside, and Tina was the only one free, not knowing what to do, so she decided to waste her time humming a tone of a song she once composed.

"A storm is coming a couple of scales away

A love is lost instead to live and stay

A choice is blamed for this hearsay

A heart was broken

Be beyond any amendment it possibly may."

She kept humming and singing her own composed songs and tunes, making Arthur think of her beautiful figure again, walking slowly and leisurely in the paths of a large palace, his palace, while she kept singing and jumping, humming and dancing like a beautiful little fairy.

"Should we split?" Sara asked the moment they appeared in the map world again, standing over a dark dying star. Arthur was there next to them in his human form, saying as he jumped over Tina's back:

"No need, we will hit one world after another together."

The arrangement he used before was to save time, but now all he needed to do was to unseal the portal, claim the pillar, and move to another world.

And just like this, the next ten worlds had these simple arrangements, where the time was lost only during their to and fro journey. But Arthur used this time to make more runes.

When they entered the thirteenth world, they found different things here; there were reinforcements!

When they moved towards the distant portal, the three noticed a couple of hours away from the portal the presence of a huge number of warriors, moving unhindered by monsters, protected from them by their grand formation.

"Oh, finally! This is what I call an enemy with some balls!" Tina said as she didn't wait for Arthur's consent and dived towards the shields and the warriors. Arthur hurriedly picked his tool and runes, jumped off her back, turned into a dragon midair, before flying upward, leaving Tina to have all the fun she desired.

She was restrained for all this time, and it was only normal to let her vent some steam over these warriors and mages.

"Have they realized what we were doing and sent reinforcements this fast?" Arthur muttered while looking at the huge number of warriors and mages here, protected by density array shields. Each array needed ten thousand dark warriors and mage to perform, and in front of him he had at least dozens of these shields!

"I think they are the force entrusted to this crack the sky castle," Sara replied before glancing at the portal, as if she was seeing through it towards the outside world, "this means this is the last node of this dark clan, and crushing it will set the sky castle free."

"Can't I take it?" Arthur was speechless for a moment there before hurrying to ask.

"It requires a soul bloodline of the royal families to carry the castle away, and it's your lucky day that I'm, was a princess, and the royal blood runs deeply in my soul."
