101 The Beast Altars (1/2)
”Hehehe, you can't beat Rosie just yet.” Not letting this chance slip by, Elder Brevre poked fun at Greyson. It seems his son and grandsons were all destined to suffer the same fate as himself: stuck beneath the power of the females in the family. Greyson could tell that his grandfather was just happy looking on at his misfortune so he just bitterly smiled without saying anything.
”Hmph, old man! Don't think this lady does not know that you also were a slave to Rosalie since the beginning. Anything that girl wanted you would give.” Rolling her eyes, Elder Freizon had no qualms throwing her husband into the fire.
”In the end, you are my wife. Can't you save me some face around our grandchildren?” Through clenched teeth, Elder Brevre hissed out.
”Face, what face do you have that you don't already lose all by yourself?” Snorting, Elder Freizon gave him a look of disdain before walking out.”
Greyson giggled warmly to himself watching their antics before also getting himself out of bed. With Lucius being fine now, he could also feel his body quickly restoring to its former healthy state. Getting changed, he only now realized that a certain furball seemed to be missing. Searching around his room, he finally spotted a cute white tail sticking out from beneath the bed. Unable to contain his smile, he laughed a little before pulling out Snow by her tail.
”Ah!” The little cub jumped up. ”Daddy, are you alright now?”
”Yeah, I am fine. Why were you hiding underneath the bed just now?”
”That Auntie was really angry with Snow, so I hid underneath the bed...” Pulling her paws over her eyes in a cute manner, Snow looked slightly embarrassed.
”Just because she yelled at you? You can't be such a scaredy cat later on!”
”Snow is the best at running, Gold fights better. That's because Gold is stupid, though. Snow is smart, so Snow makes the best decision based on her strength.” Huffing in anger, Snow looked extremely indignant over such a comment.
”Alright, alright, I know that you are the smartest.” Smiling, Greyson pet her smooth fur before starting to pack his bag with some supplies. Al actually arrived with Greyson and mostly stayed right outside the room just sunbathing. Since he was leaving for a long period of time, Greyson made sure to bring Al along so that he could store more things for the journey. Though the Terra Beast was not much stronger than before, its innate ability was nonetheless extremely useful.
...
When Greyson arrived at the bottom of the Snow Dragon tribe mountain, he easily spotted Rosalie, but he was surprised to see that she was not alone. Standing alongside her was a familiar group of people. It was the same group of friends he met before!
”Sister... Are they sending you off?”
”Huh? I wish, no, they all want to come along...” Grumbled Rosalie underneath her breath.
”They are all coming with us? Does this really require such a large group to go?” Greyson looked confused at the rest of the group, not understanding why they would want to come along.
”Oh, Grey Grey, it's because you do not know how boring it is waiting for missions to come rolling around. Staying in the mountains all day is the worst thing ever! So boring~.” A chill ran down Greyson's spine as he heard this voice call out, but he pushed down his rising unsettled feeling to focus on the words before looking towards Cerul.
”So, you guys just want to tag along for the fun of it?”
”Exactly!” All of the immediately responded in unison. Almost face-palming, Greyson just sighed in resignation without another word. It would not hurt for more to come along, so there was not really much he could say to deny them. In the end, they would just follow them if they really wanted even if Greyson and Rosalie both did not want them to come along.
