"That means you can return sooner to your world," she seemed not happy with admitting that but she frowned for a second before a strange smile appeared on her face.
"Amera told me you are fighting the dark forces so hard back in your lower realm," her words made Arthur frown in return. He missed her point until she finally said it clearly, "I plan to send a force to aid you in your crusade."
He raised both eyebrows in surprise for her offer. In fact he wanted to decline, yet he couldn't.
After all he either would rather wait for his godfather to show up and help him out or let her help him now.
He had zero confidence in his godfather. He didn't doubt he would help if he could, and that was where the problem lies.
He felt his godfather wasn't in the position of even helping himself or protecting his clan.
"That's a generous offer," he slowly said, "I'll gladly accept that."
"It's a deal then," Aemie suddenly regained her active spirit. That made Arthur wonder about her ulterior motives.
He was quite sure she had not only one but many, however he couldn't guess a single one of them.
"Let's go back," she suddenly turned to her frightened leaders, "lead the army back as fast as you can. We will have to wage another war with those waiting for us outside soon."
She turned to Arthur before adding with a cheerful tone that deeply worried him, "very soon... I promise you that."
And then she flew fast towards the city. She didn't even wait for her leaders to realize she wasn't joking with them and she already gave them their freedom back.
Arthur stood midair watching the very fast speed of her. "Keep an eye on her for me," he slowly said, "I'm sure she doesn't mean anything good for that help."
And Gege silently started to monitor the movements of Aemie while Arthur turned back to Amera and other elites to deliver them the news.
Aemie even missed to inform them about her plans. She was in a hurry, like she was afraid to lose something if she got stuck here.
"Who the hell does she plan to send with me?" Arthur kept asking himself this question until he reached the outer borders of the city.
And there a violent explosion erupted all of sudden that distracted him from his troubled thoughts.
The source of that explosion didn't come from the direction of the city, or from anywhere around. It came high, up from the sky.
Arthur stood in his place motionless while watching a gigantic spider web of crimson red fire spreading all over the sky.
It started from a central point before expanding all around. The scene looked majestic and everyone stopped what they were doing and gazed up at the sky.
The giant army of lycans and other dark clans was set to fire in a matter of minutes like dry weeds.
"It worked!" Arthur smiled before Amera turned to him.
"You were right," she knew she doubted him before, "this really worked."
Arthur gave her a warm smile. At this moment he was the happiest man on this planet.
He was so close to going back to the last world he was in.
"Victory!"
"We won!"
Instantly endless screams of victory erupted from all over the world. Arthur felt the ground trembling from all those shouts, and he couldn't help but smile.
This victory… was a hard earned one.
'Cheer up,' Gege said, 'this is mainly because of you.'
Arthur glanced around. Even Amera was screaming in joy.
'I will,' he said to Gege, 'when I return to my friends.'
'Ding! Why are you so down?' the system couldn't understand.
'You still thinking about Aemie's strange request?' the golden dragon asked.
'No, it's about her questionable behavior,' Arthur said before taking a deep breath as he explained, 'she… seemed to know the forces outside were about to get annihilated. That explains why she was in such a hurry.'
'She was afraid to lose you,' Gege slowly said, 'but she is still the one who can make you leave this planet.'
Arthur turned to glance at the burning sky before saying, 'This will be one more piece of the puzzle I have about her.'
"It's our victory," Aemie suddenly came flying in a grand scene. She wasn't alone, she came with a large group of strong looking mages.
And Nicole was standing beside her with a lowered head and troubled face.
"This day will be forever remembered in our history," Aemie kept enjoying the deserved moments of victory. "Let's stay the night celebrating. We earned this and let's keep this memory burning forever in our hearts and souls."
Arthur stood midair motionless while gazing up at her. Her eyes met him in a brief moment before she went down.
And Nicole came with part of the elite forces of Aemie.
"I believe you won't agree to stay if I offered you that," Aemie said with a big smile.
"I have my own responsibility towards my people like you have yours," Arthur tried to act in courtesy.
"Alright, then I'll leave my beloved Nicole with you as a privileged guest," Aemie suddenly put her arms around Nicole and said these shocking words.
Even Arthur couldn't help but to raise both eyebrows out of his surprise from this weird decision.
"What? Can't I trust you with my precious love?" Aemie seemed to enjoy this moment more than her words said. She even leaned over Nicole and let her head rest over Nicole's shoulder.
And without any warning she gave Nicole a hot kiss on the neck.
"Don't worry," Aemie said, "I will send with you my finest. Plus you will be a guest with our hero, the one who helped to save us from defeat and saved our world."
Nicole seemed not to buy what she said, however she wasn't in a position to refuse. Her struggled and dark face told Arthur what he wanted to know... She was forced in this the same as himself.
