Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Arthur's words alarmed everyone, and as Madly was about to object to the  plan again, Ron stood up and rapidly started to build a fire.

He then instructed  Tarry, Edwar, and Lily to help him by continuing to build the fire as he chopped the monster into parts that they could cook.Madly and Drago were looking after Ouly.

As for Arthur, he sat on the ground resting his back on one of the rocks while closing his eyes to rest.He wasn't trying to sleep yet, as he was afraid if he did, another monster would attack the team.

The scent of blood was a great seduction to other monsters nearby, Arthur didn't tell the others that, because they couldn't eat the meat raw.

Arthur had an irresistible urge to just close his eyes and sleep, however he tried to resist that as hard as he could.

Subconsciously, he knew that eventually he would fall asleep, but he hoped that  replenishing his energy would stop him falling  asleep.

'Just a little more!'He repeated to himself over and over an uncountable amount  of times.

Suddenly, Arthur heard a soft voice  telling him to eat as he felt someone's finger graze his mouth as they put something lumpy into his mouth. Slowly, he began to chew as the natural survival instinct told him to eat.

Barely able to open his eyes while everything around him started to fade away… the voice, the light, and even him being able to sense his surroundings.

Seconds after he began to chew, he suddenly felt two things with annoying clarity at his state, the bitter taste of the meat plus the sudden gush of power into his body.

Quickly, he opened his eyes to see  the face of Lily in front of him while she was carrying more pieces of that monster's meat.

It seemed the bitter taste of the meat made it quite unfavorable to everyone, so he was the only one eating that meat right now.

Or perhaps they weren't ready to try something as crazy as that and wanted to try it first on him.

Either way he was grateful for that, as that meat had given him a substantial amount of energy to his weak body that it was in desperate  need of.

At the same time that proved his theory was a true one, and that was just the second theory he proved.

He tested two theories from his previous world and both came true, plus the tricks he used in the fight from his previous life, that made him feel energetic.

Arthur was like a lab scientist freak who wanted nothing more than to test his theories and prove them right. Every success would energize him to do more, and he just was in the mood to do that.

"Let's try to add something to this horribly tasted meat, shall we?"He raised up and began to walk around while saying this.

His strong tone and sudden energetic spirit attracted everyone's attention, especially Ron who was extremely worried over him.

"Are you sure you should move this fast? Your body was just collapsing moments ago."

Arthur looked at him smiling , then started to  laugh as leaped into the air landing on a tree brand eight metres in the air.

Arthr felt the air prickling his skin as the branch started to shake under Arthurs weight.

Scanning under him, near the stream Arthur saw a strange yellow flower. Jumping off the branch, his friends stared at him in disbelief, he ran towards the flower.

Kneeling on the floor, Arthur saw that the flower had pink edged petals with a faint pale blue in the center.

Arthur wasn't interested in the flower, as he didn't know what it was. He was interested in the leaves of this flower.

The presence of such a flower in his previous world would mean something insane, as it would be considered  a treasure without a doubt.

Although, couldn't sense anything from the flower itself, from its leaves he could sense a powerful source of energy.

Arthur didn't know why, but after he ate the meat it changed his perception of this world's energy.

Arthur's body started to buzz as he could sense the presence of many different kinds of energy sources which he couldn't do before.

Arthurs heart began to beat erratically as he realised that through him eating the meat he had started his mage's journey.

Arthur's skin was stinging as he felt that he had been  stung by a relentless group of bees.

Mouth dried in anticipation as Arthur's hand shook when picking up the flower to examine the leaves as he gently ripped them off the flower.

When Arthur ran back to the group he found everyone's eyes penetrating in his skull as they stared at him with worry.

Confidently, to reassure them, Arthur said to them,"give me more, and can have your share too,"  as he took the last piece of meat from Lily's hand.

"Are you ok? You just used your trick twice and you said your body can't withstand it," Lily was the one to ask this question which was now ringing like bells in everyone's ears.

"Ah, don't worry about me. This meat is really miraculous, you should start eating as well so you can start your journey," Arthur casually said as he took out an arrow and began to cut the leaves he picked into small pieces with the thin blade of the arrow.

"Journey of what?" Edwar was the one who  asked as he was holding three pieces of charred meat in his hand.

"The journey to become mages. By the way, the meat itself tasted bitter, I believe you cooked it with some of his glands and viscera.

Next time I will prepare the meat, but now come tmuse these leaves  to make the taste better," Arthur said as he put some pieces of these leaves over the meat and began to eat it.

As he expected, the leaves made the taste of the meat quite bearable, besides it raised the total amount of energy he could acquire from his meals.

"Wait a minute, you can cook?" Lily looked with astonishment towards him while Ron's suspicion deepened as he knew Willy had never been able to cook.

"Don't waste time, eat and get stronger fast. Our presence here won't be this peaceful for long, and I don't want to work as your babysitter all the time," Arthur said, ignoring this question as he finished the piece of meat in his hand.

This was incredible; he could already feel his muscles demanding more meat and leaves.

Arthur  moved towards the huge body of this monster as he knew it would be best if they took some of its meat to eat on the go as Arthur didn't bring any food resources.

It was stupid on his part, Athur  had realised. Grasping the sword he had sliced thin slices of meat that Ron had still left on the body.

Arthur was a good cook back in his world, which was something common back then. Cultivators were usually secluded beings, and they had to depend entirely on themselves to survive and eat.

No one would survive eating badly cooked meals for so long meaning everyone back there considered cooking as a life saving skill.

As he feared, they just put the body of this monster on the fire without any kind of preparation, not even a seasoning was used over this monster.

He sighed, such a good meal was wasted like this, however he and everyone here needed to eat right now.

The pieces were incredibly similar to each other in size and thickness, which made this look more magical than it should be.

As Arthurs gang were malnourished, they needed to eat a lot to make up for what they missed.

He decided that he would cut all the meat of the creature because he intended to push the gang into eating this meat. Though, Arthut knew that the gang would finish it in less than a day.

"Start eating now, we have a long journey ahead of us," he said.

"Are you sure this is safe?" Madly was the one to object as she took one piece of meat covered with some leaves and some kind of plant seeds that Arthur put over the meat.

"Yes, and the effects are remarkable. C'mon, moments ago I wasn't able to open my eyes, and now I just used my leg to move many times.That would have killed me already if I didn't eat the meat.Stop wasting time, and start eating."

Everyone exchanged silent glances together before they nodded in agreement.

Trying one bite wouldn't be harmful anyway, and then like they subconsciously agreed to do it at the same time, they began to take their first bite.

Their energy conception wasn't anyway close to Arthur's, however, when they just started  chewing meat everyone began to feel some heat in their bodies.

They exchanged looks again, as somehow each one began to feel energetic, more than anytime ever in his or her life before.

One bite turned into a mouthful of meat, and one piece of meat turned into a pile of meat. Arthur just glanced silently at them before he smiled, they were like little kids to  him.

Always loved to argue and show a strong stand, however in reality they were all fragile and weak from inside.

He liked that nature of them, at least they weren't bad or mean which was something he was grateful for.
