Tales of The Mighty Dragonair

Arthur watched Regil as he began to collect more than one kind of arrows from different tables. The arrows were long, sharp, and with some special writings over their shafts.

For Arthur he knew these arrows weren't as powerful as the bow, but they had some strength in them. having such a craftsman in your house backyard was something incredible, and regretful for letting such a talent be wasted like this.

Arthur was feeling more sure every passing second of the correctness of his decision, he must revolutionize this place and use every single talent here for his benefit.

"Grandpa what are you doing?"

Suddenly a very energetic girl entered the shop in a way that gave the impression of being used to do so. She was looking towards Regil at first, then she noticed the presence of Arthur and Ron.

On the opposite to Regil's reaction, this girl didn't show any signs of gratitude or happiness when she saw the two, especially when her eyes fell over Arthur as some deep anger and hatred began to boil up as she raised her sword and said with hatred:

"What is this bastard doing in my shop grandpa?"

She was really energetic and didn't put even the son of the head of the golden lion family in her eyes.

Grandpa Regil knew her temper very well, so he left what he was doing as he rushed to stand between the girl and Arthur as he bowed to the latter while saying:

"I'm very sorry, my granddaughter is young and she doesn't recognize you, please forgive her."

"Why are you apologizing to him? I know who he is, he is that useless head of the worthless family son, the one who got poisoned and was supposed to struggle with death back at his sweet daddy's home," the girl then jumped to the side to bypass Regil's body as she pointed her sword towards Arthur while shouting with extreme anger:

"Those useless bastards didn't do the job of killing you perfectly, then allow me your majesty to end your misery and claim your pathetic life."

She was like a fiery tigress, moving with great speed and power while aiming her sword towards Arthur's heart. A precise hit which told a lot about the mastery and experience of its master.

Arthur was able to avoid the shot with complete ease; however he noticed something that made him not to. A flash with faint color appeared around the girl's body at the same time he noticed a faint glow from behind him.

Ron was never to permit any harm to befall on Arthur, not on his watch. The two swords met together, but the girl's power was higher and that made Ron unwillingly retreat a couple of steps to the back before his sword broke free from the girl's sword.

Just as the two were about to resume their spar, two arrows suddenly moved to hit the ground, barely avoiding their feet. The two turned to look sharply towards the source of the arrows to find Arthur was standing there, holding a couple of arrows in his hands and playing with them.

Arthur was just behind Ron a moment ago, however right now he was standing beside grandpa Regil, whose eyes were widened from shock.

He was the only one here to witness everything, and he couldn't believe what the young master who was known as being worthless just did.

The girl, however, didn't see it so she was about to expel all her anger and fire up towards him when grandpa Regil moved to stand in front of Arthur while yelling angrily:

"Behave yourself little Madly."

"Go away grandpa, why are you protecting him?" she stopped as she hesitated about attacking Arthur. That gave Ron a chance to attack her when Arthur calmly said:

"Stop Ron, she is just a bad mood friend."

"What?!!" Ron exclaimed in surprise as he nearly stumbled on the ground just to stop his sword from targeting her neck.

"What did you just call me?" This was Madly's angry voice as she forgot about her grandpa and was about to jump to hit Arthur with her sword.

"I said stop it, don't you have any respect for this old man!" Regil yelled as well as he moved to hug his granddaughter while whispering:

"Don't be reckless, he is really dangerous."

Madly looked with disbelief at him while she muttered:

"Unbelievable, the only dangerous one here is you. Just let me go and I will show you."

Regil didn't let her go as he tightened his hand over hers while looking in her eyes as he murmured:

"You fool, I'm saving your life here."

Madly misunderstood his meaning as she gritted her teeth and whispered:

"You know I love you grandpa, but this man's family had murdered my family, your son and his wife. Just let me avenge them right here and now. Why are you defending him? Are you so afraid of his father's retaliation? Let's run from here then and never come back!"

Regil felt some deep pain that he tried to bury a long time ago with failure. His eyes even soaked with few drops of tears before he took a deep breath as he whispered:

"You silly, I'm not protecting him but you. This man isn't like what others think, you didn't see how he moved from there to here. if he wanted you dead, then not even I could prevent him or save you. Just listen to me and be quiet, hopefully he is in a good mood to send him home with some money or goods from our shop."

Madly's eyes widened from surprise as she couldn't believe her grandpa words, as she muttered:

"Grandpa…"

Regil tightened his hand again as he glanced towards his granddaughter with a meaningful look.

All this was perfectly heard by Arthur, as his senses were sharper than any normal being. He, however, was concerned by something else, so he didn't like to waste time here playing this foolish role of this useless heir.

"Let's speak seriously then, shall we?" Arthur said as he moved to sit on the biggest seat in this shop, which belonged to grandpa Regil. He didn't feel odd for sitting on the biggest seat here, however Madly was really getting mad of what he just did.

"I believe you should listen to your grandpa, as his advice is perfectly on the spot."

His words made the angry Madly be startled, as she exchanged looks with her grandpa. Their voices were so low that they hardly heard each other, then how come this useless brat heard them?

"Don't look at me like this, sit I have more pressing matters to discuss with you."

Arthur's invitation to the three of them was weird, as Madly felt weird for being invited by a stranger in her own place. As for Regil, he was feeling more wary of Arthur, as he always heard how useless the current heir of the clan was, however this wasn't true, this wasn't even close to being true.

The most shocked person here was Ron. Since he met Arthur after waking up from the poisoning accident and he felt he was dealing with a new person. Every decision Arthur took was very contradictory to what Willy used to do before.

Even the nature of talking, Willy was usually shy and never dared to speak to strangers, not like the person in front of Ron right now. Although he was feeling odd, he was happy with this change, which had a perfect reason for waking up from this incident, and Ron hoped these changes would persist forever.

Having such a charismatic person as a head to the clan was awesome, who knew what this new change might bring to the whole clan.

Ron was thinking about all that when Arthur looked directly towards grandpa Regil as he seriously asked:

"I want to ask about the special powers of mages, did they have colors?"

His question piques the interest of the three as grandpa Regil asked back:

"Colors? What colors?"
