55 The Oath (1/2)

”Welcome back Brother, Arrora” Catalie was standing inside the teleportation array room with a smile on her face in front of Don and Arrora.

”Is everyone at the throne hall?”

Before Don teleported back to the castle he asked Catalie to gather everyone at the throne hall and seeing the girl nodding, Don knew Catalie did her job.

”Let's go”

Arrora and Catalie followed Don towards the hall. The moment DOn entered the room he saw Knight sitting on his throne like a king while the army of elves and dwarves trained by him stood before him in lines like soldiers going to war.Amaryll standing beside Knight as Don saw Arya and Benedict standing on the corner aside from the civilian elves and dwarves.

Seeing Don and Arrora walking towards the hall Uncle Dior came running to greet them.

”How was your journey?”

The moment Uncle Dior's voice came out of his mouth all the people looking at Knight turned their heads towards the source of the voice and saw Don and Arrora.

”It was good”

Arrora said as Don nodded at Uncle Dior and walked forward to his throne. The elves and dwarves line was standing in his way however when they saw DOn coming they made space for Don by moving side by side like soldiers making way for their commander. Don was surprised to see the way they were acting but when he saw the proud grin on Knight's face he knew it was all his devilish works in the name of training.

”Me King”

”My lord”

Stodemar, Dhursir, and Gael stood in front of the line as they came forward and bowed their heads towards Don and greeted him. Don gave them a nod and walked the stairs to reach his throne which was now occupied by Knight.

”I was just getting used to the throne”

Knight jumped from the throne with a smirk on his face, while Arrora was following DOn to stand beside him she saw Amaryll coming towards her with hands spread out but before Arrora could do anything she was hugged by the elf.

Arwen cleared his throat when he saw the way his sister was acting and Amaryll let go of Arrora when she heard Arwen.

”Don”

”Amaryll”

After leaving Arrora, Amaryll said Don's name and nodded towards him and he did the same.

”Where's Reghys?”

Don couldn't see the huge Dragon anywhere in the hall so he asked Knight beside him

”She is out there probably flying or hunting in the woods”

”I am here” just when Knight was talking about Reghys to Don, a female voice reverberated the hall as the throne hall door slowly opened but when the door opened fully everyone was shocked including Don and Knight.

The woman walking inside had fiery red, shoulder-length hair clumsily hanging over a strong, lively face. Red eyes matching with her hair, set tightly within their sockets. If Amaryll was a beauty among the younger generation, the woman walking before Don was a middle-aged beauty, people would not think of her as a Dragon until they could see the red wings on her back.

Seeing the woman walking towards him, Don could feel there is something curious about her, perhaps it's a feeling of arrogance or perhaps it's simply her aura of a Dragon. Nonetheless, she stood taller and had a noble look to her.

”Guardian”

The dwarves knelt on their knees with their heads bowing down when they saw the woman, she let out a small laugh and gestured to them to get on their feet.

”Did you think I've always stayed in my true form”

The woman leaped towards Don and landed beside him and Knight

”Reghys”

Knight couldn't help but show the stars in his eyes when he saw the human form of the Dragon. He was excited and jealous of seeing Reghys because he always wanted to take human form. Reghys gave a wink facing Knight and looked at Don

Even though Don was surprised to see Reghys's human form he had a more important task to do here so he just nodded at Reghys and took out the mirror from his space ring

”So you bought it huh”

Everyone slightly bent their body forward to get a good view of the hand-sized mirror in Don's hand. Don knew how this mirror works from he saw one before.

Arrora saw Don placing the mirror on his chest and started to feel the vibrations coming from the mirror. When the vibration became more violent Don removed the mirror from his chest as a scroll came outside of the mirror and landed on his hand.

However Don didn't open the scroll, he just tossed it towards Reghys.

”It's better if everyone knew how it works” Don realized many elves and dwarves have no idea about the oath-taker so he decided to let Reghys explain how the mirror works because Dragons were a noble race and many races believed they would not lie or trick simple people.
