Tales of The Mighty Dragonair

She nodded, as she knew how important the fire and water was to any blacksmith. As he soared the sky on Birdy's back, with Lily on his side, he felt how important it was to have his own flying pet.

If that python queen was honest in what she claimed, then he already had a flying pet in the process of evolutions. Dragons were winged monsters, able to cause panic and fear to every single creature.

"Tell Birdy to fly slowly."

He said, as he sat on the back of Birdy, closing his eyes, and started feeling the different types of aura around him. He found some distant auras, strong enough to cause him worry. He knew they were the three monsters that the queen mentioned, and from their far distance, he knew they were quite safe, for now at least.

Just as they flew in circles, he found a strong aura coming from the ground. It wasn't indicating a life form, so he guessed it was an ore.

The problem was, when he went down to check it, he found a flat piece of land, with no sign of any ore at all.

'Hiding yourself quite well indeed,' he muttered to himself, before summoning Don, as he gave him a task of excavating the soil here. Don gladly nodded its head, before it went on rampage on this land. Arthur felt some changes in it, as it started to be more aggressive, like being agitated with something.

'I didn't think just having this queen would affect my other pet. I wonder when I couple with a monster, would it also be this agitated as well?'

Arthur kept watching the hard working Don, from the back of Birdy, as he started a ruckus on the ground. He wasn't worried about attracting any monster's attention, as there was no monster nearby.

After half an hour, Don had already dug deep enough for Arthur to spot the source of this aura. As he guessed it, it was an ore, green in color, with some luster on its surface. It was quite advanced ore, much stronger than the rocks he used before in making runes.

The ore excavated here was an ore vein, running deep into the ground. Arthur knew he found a source of income to his clan, in the future he would monopolize this whole place, as it seemed it was a treasure trove.

For hours, they kept their place there, watching Don taking out more and more pieces of this green ore to the surface. After quite some time, and with the presence of a suitable amount of ore, Arthur asked Lily to use Birdy to move these rocks back at the camp.

The transportation process started, as Birdy was so fast in moving ores to the camp. Arthur kept himself there, overseeing the process of this mining. He knew that Don was doing its best, and when the daylight appeared again, Don had managed to take out all the surface ores and was totally exhausted.

"Rest well my friend," Arthur said, as he sent it back into his tattoo to rest. Before he went there, it, strangely, requested to eat a piece of ore, which Arthur agreed with ease.

There were many pieces of this ore at the camp that was enough to make many weapons for a much larger group. Arthur watched Don eating the ore before it went to sleep inside his tattoo. When Birdy came again to take the last pieces, Arthur offered for it to eat a piece, which it gladly accepted. After eating it, it started to be tired, and with this last trip, it entered into rest as well into Lily's tattoo.

'I hope they both grew horns,' he muttered, as this would be great.

Having collected this many ores, he was ready to start making his ring. The theory of making the ring was simple, as he needed a high grade ore as a bass, then he would put his own strength into it. the more he injected into the ring, the more advanced the ring would be.

Knowing this shortcoming, his low strength, he just hoped he could make a ten meters square storage ring. Back at his world, this was decided by his cultivation base, but here he knew it was totally different.

As for the fire, he already had an idea about it. He took one of the biggest ores and went to the wooden pool full of oil. The oil harvested from the pythons was accumulated here, and with more pythons being cooked and others being killed, the oil storage grew into a great amount.

He took a robe and tied it tightly over the ore in hand, then threw it into the pool, letting it absorb as much oil as it could. After half an hour, he pulled the rock again, which was now saturated with this burning oil.

"It's time to forge," he said in content, while observing the ore with admiration. The ore had a high energy initially stored in it, but lacked the trigger to burn, and now with this oil, he solved this problem.

He went to the place where Madly had prepared a deep pit, and put many wood nearby. He didn't need that wood anymore, as he had a better option in hand.

He put the rock in the pit, which was almost on its size, then he ignited fire in it. Everyone was now busy cooking, but when Arthur acted, they all looked at him, in very keen admiring eyes.

He was their leader, the visionary who came to give them new hope, with a much brighter life than they thought of, or hoped for.

Arthur felt their gazes upon him, but he didn't care. He took many steps backward, as he went to grab the toolkit of Madly. Just as he got it from her, a huge explosion occurred in the pit, accompanied by a blaze of white fire that startled everyone here, except for him.
