Leila raised her head and blinked at the dragons standing at the entrance to her room. Mom? Why are you here?Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com
Kondra glanced around, admiring the stone palace before turning her attention onto Leila and Grimmy. Im here for Lulu.
Leila glanced at Grimmy. The black dragon shrugged. Leila tilted her head at her mom. You came awfully far for someone who isnt here. Isnt Lulu at home taking care of Alfonse?
Kondra glared at Grimmy. Your little helper took Lulu away.
Oh! Grimmys eyes lit up, and he patted Leilas shoulder. I knew I was forgetting something when we left your place. Turns out it was Lindyss.
You forgot a person? Grimmys mom asked.
Its not my fault, Grimmy said and shrugged. Shes just easily forgettable. Leila and the kids forgot about her too.
Kondra snapped her jaws shut, her teeth clacking together. She took a step forward and pointed at Grimmy. If something happens to my daughter
Grimmy let out an exaggerated yawn, cutting off Kondras sentence. He smacked his lips a few times, seemingly unbothered by the fire burning in Kondras eyes. If something happens to Lulu, wouldnt it be your fault for not keeping an eye on her? Why didnt you stop my little helper from abducting her?
Kondra slapped her tail against the ground. You
Hey!
Me? Gren asked, raising an eyebrow. When I was taking care of him, there was nothing wrong. Its only after you showed up that he began trembling. She glanced at Ramon. Be honest with Grandma. Did this mean old lady hit you?
Kondra shoved Gren with her paw, knocking the cursed dragon a few meters to the side. Who are you calling an old lady? Youre not so young yourself!
I never said I was young, Gren said and snarled, baring her teeth. Her eyes flickered with a red light, and she pounced on Kondra. How dare you attack me in my own home? Youve become much more brazen, havent you? Even daring to hit my grandchild!
Ramon backpedaled as fast as he could, scrambling to get away from his grandmothers. They had turned into a black and white tumbling ball of scales, claws, and wings. He glanced around before retreating into the other room. It was simply too dangerous for a young dragon like him! Laughter caught Ramons attention, and he saw his grandpas sitting on a stone bench. The two had a giant bowl of grapes resting between them, and they were occasionally picking a few up and munching on them. In front of them, there was a winged woman, the Recordkeeper, lying on the ground. Two beams of light protruded from her eyes and landed on the walls, projecting a giant moving image.
Ramon wandered over and stared at the moving picture. There was a scene of a few skeletons running away with a man. Whats this? Ramon asked.
Eh? Kondras mate raised an eyebrow and glanced down. Oh, this is the Recordkeeper. He poked the limp woman with a claw, and the scene on the wall changed, showing moving images of fairies planting flowers. Shes witnessed all kinds of events happening throughout the ages, and your Grandpa Kal here has an ability that projects peoples memories. If you combine the two, you get great entertainment!
Ramon scratched his head. How come there isnt any sound?
Kal tapped on the Recordkeepers stomach, and ambient noises came out of her mouth. The sounds of fairies humming and trees rustling were so realistic that Ramon had the urge to look around and find them. Kal grinned. Then, he tapped on the Recordkeepers stomach, and she shut her mouth. Its better to not make noise when your grandmothers are fighting. They might notice you, and before you know it, youll be dragged into the fight too.
Ramon glanced behind himself. The ball of black and white scales and claws was still rolling around, crashing repeatedly into the palace walls. He gulped. It was much better to not be noticed. He glanced at his two grandpas. Will I learn to fight like that too?
Oh, no, Kal said and tapped on the Recordkeeper, switching the image to a different one. Youll learn how to fight properly in the evil-sealing tower. Your grandmothers are just playfighting with each other.
Blood splashed on Ramons tail, and he turned around. There were gaping wounds and torn scales on both colors of the moving ball. Ramon gulped again. That was just playfighting? Suddenly, despite being a dragon, he felt like he was a little too small.
