After sleeping peacefully corty was starting to gain consciousness...as he awoke he saw Thomas sitting with the unidentified beast around a bonfire...as thomas was eating ,"Wait , am I in heaven...", said corty. Thomas upon his doubt slapped him tightly which led corty to see stars and said," no you idiot....you were asleep from hours...".
Corty said," Yes I can feel that but what about the beast....is he feeding us to become fat before he feed upon us...".Thomas with a pause said," uhhh...about that after you asleep what happened was....Thomas explained corty what happened after he fell unconscious.
The beast after demeaning Thomas asked for his name...after getting acquainted the beast revealed that he was a part of the species Alterals,his name was Melo. They don't have specific size....shape..colour any beast who has evolved enough to speak human language is called Alterals. But Melo was a exception he was a mixed breed. He doesn't knows about his parents but he has features of birds , reptiles and mammals.
Melo had rough wings 1 meter each he could walk both on fours and on two legs. He had sharp claws and teeths. After roaming for a long time he took shelter in the cave , he protects the beast inexchange they give him foods....
Corty on the explanation said, " Wait that means we can ask him to help us find the fruit...before corty could complete Thomas laughed and replied ," What do you think I was doing from that long I have already asked about it and the man we need to rescue for the lady....". Corty was happy and replied ," that means we can safely return..we be legends after we escape from so many beast...".
Thomas with a concern said," yeah we can but it's not that easy....I mean the luminescence pear is easy to obtained but rescuing that man may become a nuisance..."..." Why? " asked corty.
Thomas replied," according to Melo that person is a mage and he came here to take the fruits and due to his greed he ventured futher and was captured by the master of the cave ".....corty asked ," Wait master who is it...". Thomas blatantly said," it's.....a dragon( i guess i dont need to explain a dragon if you want me tooo then comment)..yeah but it's a child just 3 years...you know"...
Corty picked up his sword and gave it to Thomas and then held his hand to position it near his chest...Thomas confused asked," What...wait why are you giving me this what do I do with your sword"....corty with a relaxed expression said," take and stab my heart it'll be more peaceful than dieing to a dragon...( both of them stare at each other)..MOTHERFUCKER ITS A DRAGON...WHY THE FUCK DO I EVEN...Thomas punched his head and corty fell unconscious again.
Thomas murmured, " bastard..his dick is not the only weak part.."..
After corty woke up again both of them planned to rescue the man...they had two plans....Plan A was to negotiate...Melo said the dragon can talk so their first attempt will be negotiation , if the first plan doesn't works then their second plan will be " TO Runnnnnn " said corty...Thomas dragged him. So anyways the second plan is to somehow escape the cave with the man cause fighting the dragon " we are not that stupid " said Thomas.
As they were leaving Melo said," Okay good friends , i hope to see you walk from here or atleast your ashes...."
Corty gave him a creeped out stare and they both went off the to the centre...as they were walking they could see so many fruits..they were astonished to see so many fruits which they thought were scare but it was doable cause a dragon who is akin to gods with almost endless mana stays at the very place....
As they ventured to a specific distance the bushes of the luminescence fruit ended and a dark lair awaited them...they entered it and after some walking through a hole they entered a region with full greenery and ample trees....they saw two man's picking fruits...some were cleaning the pond corty said, " What the fuck...did they kill the fucking dragon....". Both of them felt a intimidation of something horrible the dragon who came from above landed blowing away all the leaves and dust said, " Who is the bastard..who wants to kill me....Kavzar immigrant of tornado ". Both of them on the appearance of terror said only one thing ," Immigrant , what the heck is that...??"
