Star Eater

Chapter 557: Chapter 557

Arthur's Point of View

Pendragon Estate

"A dragon?" Breeze repeated, and I nodded. "I've never had the opportunity to test myself against a dragon, but I assume I might have a chance in the near future..."

A sigh escaped my lips. "The Dragons know me, and I'm hoping they'll be more willing to talk after Dryritt's trip here. I'd like to send you as an ambassador."

The room went quiet for a moment. "Uh..." Ziah let out slowly. "Is that safe?"

"The air behind the Volcanic Curtain is toxic. It's filled to the brim with ash and sulfur. I thought about sending Rock given his nature and near immunity to fire, but his lack of communication skills made me decide otherwise. Besides, I need him for something else." I then gestured to Breeze. "But for someone who can literally manipulate the air/wind around him, he is the best option."

Breeze looked down. "You make very interesting points. Given what we know, it would seem I am the best option besides yourself." He commented, and I nodded in agreement. "You've been thinking about this for quite some time, haven't you?"

"I have to agree with my son and the Captain." Aydalia chimed in. "If something happens to Breeze, we'll at least know where to look. Arthur, or even Rock, will be able to head to the Dragonlands." She then gestured to Marina. "However, if something happens in the Middle Ocean, only Arthur will be able to look for you. The Ocean is vast, and it will be exceedingly difficult to locate you, if not entirely impossible."

"But-" Marina tried, but was cut short as Aydalia continued.

"Less is known about the Seafolk or their abilities. Sightings, and information about them is too inconsistent to be certain about anything." Aydalia said. "The safest course of actions would be to give the orb to Marina. She'll likely be able to use it better than Lucia in a place where others will also be in their natural habitat." She finished while looking at me.

Marina looked distressed as she looked at Breeze while Lucia spoke. "I see. I'm surprised you all thought of that." Lucia turned to me after she looked at Alwin and Greigh. "Did you already think of all this?"

I shrugged before I nodded. "More or less. Breeze will likely be safer given that the Demons have refused to go near the Dragonlands. He can also manipulate air, which is going against fire if used correctly." My gaze then shifted to Marina as I grabbed Defiance and plucked the orb out. "The Ocean likely isn't as safe as it should be. If something like the Leviathan was able to hide, I'd rather be cautious about what else might lurk in those depths." Holding at the orb to her, Marina eyed it.

After a moment, she sighed as she slowly reached out and took the orb. "Very well. I will take it." Marina relented.

"It's probably for the best anyway." Breeze told his sister.

"Why's that?" She inquired.

"I don't have hands, so using it would've been annoying, and I definitely didn't want to have it strapped to me." Breeze answered.

The room went quiet at that before I spoke. "Would you believe me if I told you that you not having hands never even crossed my mind?"
