126 Traitor (1/2)

”I agree with grandpa. Elder Ambrose did not give me a good first impression.” Greyson nodded along with his grandfather's logic. His decision was not completely based on instinct. A crucial factor was the fact that Lucius was resting on his shoulder and warned him that Ambrose was a harbinger of bad luck for Greyson and his family. Such an ominous warning from a Destiny Cat was to be taken seriously, so he knew he must take a determined stance against Ambrose. Not only Ambrose, but also the entire Dragon Tribe was causing feelings of apprehension like something major was about to take place. Greyson was somehow getting pulled into the smack dab in the middle of the spark that will set off a war. Part of him wanted to entreat Greyson to flee and not look back. It is possible this would actually cause the entire conflict to be averted. However, he knew Greyson would never leave. Loyalty was part of the reason Lucius confided in him. It was only now that he wished he picked someone a bit more selfish. All he could accomplish was continually warning Greyson and keeping alert towards their surroundings to ward off any unwanted surprises.

”Hahaha, well if my dear grandson also feels this way then this granny should listen.” Chuckling happily, Freizon put on an indulgent tone as she tousled Greyson's hair.

”Grandmother! I'm not just saying this...” Feeling his warning was not taken seriously, Greyson pushed a little harder.

”Alright, alright. I understand.” Nodding solemnly, Freizon, nonetheless, gave herself away with the little grin peeking at the corners of her lips. Speechless, Greyson decided it was fine. His grandparents were already suspicious of Ambrose and the entire situation. Advising them was just something that set his mind at ease. Before he could put another word in, a loud shouting starting echoing through the tunnels.

”Elders... Elders!... ELDERS!” Approaching rapidly, the voice grew in volume until it was crystal clear. Quickly flying in, a large Snow Dragons swooped in to deliver news.

”Calm down, Jemir, what seems to be the issue?” Massaging his temples in exhaustion, Elder Brevre sighed.

”Reporting to Elder Brevre, a brawl has broken out between those Light Dragon guards and our tribesmen.”

”What?! I explicitly commanded everyone to not fight back at this time. The Light Dragons also do not want a massive fight with us. Quickly flying in, a large Snow Dragons swooped in to deliver news.” Veins popping out from his forehead in frustration, Brevre shouted furiously.

”No, Elder! You are mistaken. Those wretched guards truly took it too far this time! They beat Rhea's son within an inch of his life. Of course, Rhea would not just watch her son die, so she fought back this time. Just like a chain reaction, it only took Rhea to make everyone else jump in. Elders should jump in before things get even more out of hand.” Jemir angrily growled clearly upset about the recent developments.

”Rhea...” Freizon felt slightly shocked. ”That child is usually so strict with herself; it's not easy to make her lose herself to her emotions. How is Saemir?”

”Rhea's son will live.”

”Lead the way. Let us go stop the fight.”

Brevre and Freizon transformed into their original dragon form and one grabbed onto Rosalie while the other grabbed Greyson. In just a couple of moments, the group arrived near the border of the Snow Peak where the fighting broke out. Bursts of light and blue ice exploded out everywhere. Freizon moved forward and opened her hand towards the fighting. Clenching into a fist, all of the dragons disappeared. The next instant, they all reappeared apart from each other with the Snow Dragons behind the Elders and the Light Dragons back behind the borderline.

”Stop.” Her stern voice echoed.

”Elder Freizon, you must retrieve justice for us! Look at Rhea's son! Look at his injuries. You have known Saemir since his birth, surely you will not sit back and watch!” One of the Snow Dragons in the crowd cried out indignantly.

”Elder Brevre, Elder Freizon, I respect you, but I will not sit back and listen to slander. Saemir attempted to cross the border even though he knows that all Snow Dragons were ordered to stay inside the confines of Snow Peak. Since he resisted, we had no choice but to injure him severely. This situation did not start with us; we are not the aggressors.” Not backing down an inch, the Light Dragon guard leader also spoke up in his defense.

”Stop with your rubbish!”

”You definitely instigated the fight!”

”Your bullying has gone too far!”

Tons of dissident yells exploded from the Snow Dragons after hearing the leader's reply.

”ENOUGH! Where is Rhea?” Brevre did not listen to anyone's nonsense.
