Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Arthur was satisfied with her action, and he knew, best, that if a single flame touched this place, no one would leave this place alive ever again.

So, he stressed again and again on Madly and the others, to keep themselves away from this place, and keep the fire away.

After he finished all these preparations, he went towards the queen. The python queen was already halfway healed from her wounds, and even the toxic in her body had healed.

Arthur intended to make this monster his own, as she had the rare, very rare, intelligent attribute. Just as he reached her, he was astonished to feel some sort of connection between her and himself. He noticed the two horns glowing, and in a reflex, he took out his sword and pointed it towards her.

The others were far away, busy in cooking the meat and collecting the oil, so they didn't notice any of this.

'Calm down… No harm… Be your pet.'

A soft, feminine voice appeared suddenly in his mind, speaking stuttered words. Arthur was astonished, and realized the queen had used her mind ability to contact him, asking him to be his pet.

"A pet is a good option for you, but I won't be able to get any stronger by doing this."

'You… Have… Me… Fight … Your… side…"

She continued to speak with him, as her sparkling red eyes focused on his. Arthur knew this python was trying to save herself, and for a moment he felt some temptation in doing so, but he needed her to be his own monster. She was the only one here that could help him doing this, and he doubted to meet an intelligent monster with intelligent attributes this powerful ever again.

"No, I can't agree to this."

The python didn't seem disturbed by this, as it seemed she knew Arthur wouldn't be this easily convinced.

'My… Babies…"

Arthur knew what she was referring to, so he hurriedly said:

"Don't worry about them. I have found them, and I intend to build something that could help me move them with their source of nutrition into safety."

He thought his answer would satisfy her, but she spoke to his mind again:

'Another… Monster… Three… Strong… Like… Me… Will… Attack… You… Once… I… Go…"

She was speaking like a little child, and when she mentioned this info, Arthur was quite surprised about it. He thought the python was the only high grade monster here. He suddenly figured out why there was no other monster during their journey to here.

He thought other monsters were afraid of the pythons' collective aura, but it turned out they were afraid of the other high grade monsters.

If there were three other monsters just as strong as this python, then facing them collectively together was a suicide.

He looked back at the kids, and now he knew his options were really limited.

Seeing his hesitation, the python queen stressed:

'Another… Way… Pet… Stronger… You… Me…"

Arthur paused, as if he heard it right, then this queen was offering him a way to make him stronger through the pet way.

"What way?" he asked with much interest, as his old hunger for knowledge was awakened at this moment.

'Writing… different… Other… Monsters… Group… Pets…'

Arthur's eyes shone, as he understood what she wanted him to do.

"You want to evolve, using the monsters I control as pets, and thus you will be stronger? This is just one time boast."

He understood her desire, as she wanted to complete her evolution. "Besides, you need equally stronger monsters at the least, right? These weak pythons here can't help you at all."

'Yes… No… New… Pet… Contract… Not… Master… Slave… Co-operatives…'

Arthur looked at her, before he, doubtedly, asked:

"Co-workers? Can this theory be true here?"

He knew what she was talking about, as it was a myth back at his home. The theory was talking about the merge between the monster and the soul of the cultivator, to become one. However it always failed, as the soul of the monster was always stronger than the cultivator, ending up killing him.

'True… Modifications… Stones… More…"

Arthur understood what she was referring to, as she was talking about the runes. He looked towards the cart, where there were over fifty runes there.

"Are fifty enough?"

'Yes… Pet… Contract… Modified… First… Kill… Others… Later… Stronger… Together…'

Arthur was hesitating for a moment. in front of him was a rare, very rare monster, that suited his unique ability best. If he risked making it his pet, and this mythical way failed, then he would have lost a precious opportunity.

As he was thinking, he decided to take the risk. After all, he had many other opportunities in the future, with his knowledge and experience, he was sure he would find more monsters, and much more powerful one than this queen of pythons.

"Deal, what do you need me to do?"

'Stones… Bind… Plus… Partner… Write… Name… Dragon… Write… Human… Stones… Fifty… Half… Bind… Half… Partner…'

She spoke in her fascinating voice to him, and he knew what she wanted to do. He then moved towards the stones, to find all the fifty ones were written on them the word, bind.

He sighed, as then he heard the voice of the queen again:

'Not… Bad… Need… Write… More… My… Language…"
