The dragon's harem

Right after John left, Arad opened his new gravity book and started reading it, trying and testing every spell and method that was listed there. A large majestic obsidian dragon, sitting alone in a dark cave reading a tome of ancient magic, growing his power and wisdom in a haze of arcane mist, this was the start of a new era for him.

The girl’s carriage approached their first stop, the large trade city of Voln. Named after an ancient hero of the lands, it thrived off trade and merchants who used it as a hub for trade and resupply. Due to it being one of the largest cities in the kingdom of Asphal, it was named the capital and the royal family had built themselves a stone fortress in its heart.

“I’m telling you, idiots! Halt this at once, the adventurers need to deal with Shallon, the beast of the mountains first.” A tiny, high-pitched voice pierced the air as the carriage approached the capital. The girls were looking at the battalion of soldiers in the distance. “They already fixed their clothes back.” Betty mumbled.

Aella looked to the side and saw a tiny fairy arguing with a soldier at the side of the road, right at the outpost of the knights, where civilians were stopped. “What’s that?” She pointed out.

Betty looked, “A local fairy, I bet those soldiers chopped the forest or something, that’s why she’s angry.”

“No, I meant her magic. It’s rich in wind magic.” She could see a green aura around the fairy, “Is she one of Zephyr’s elemental fairies?”

“Probably. They are like different races among the fae.” The carriage stopped and Aella walked out with Eris, “You wait here. I’ll go check her out, it’s the first time I met one of Zephyr’s people.”

The girls inside nodded and Tempo also looked toward the soldiers, “I’ll go find someone to speak to. I might get a thing or two done.” He then tapped the ground with his foot several times, sending a signal to Meryem who was traveling with them underground with an army of her children so she stopped.

“Human! Listen well; I’ve lived far more than you. Whatever is in that desert, it’s none of your business. Shallon on the other hand is a clear threat, stop following the clouds and put down the fire causing black smoke.” The fairy growled.

“You aren’t making any sense. And speaking to me won’t change anything. I’m just doing my job.” The soldier sighed with an exhausted face; this little fairy had been bothering him since yesterday.

“What’s going on here?” Aella asked as she slowly approached them. The fairy growled, shouting at her in rage, “Shut your mount, bit….” Her face paled for a second when she saw Aella.

The fairy turned toward the soldier for a second, “See you later, something important showed up.” She flew back toward Aella. “Can we please change the place? To the forest maybe? Where none human can disturb us?” She said with a hopeful, yet scared face.

Aella and Eris looked at each other, “Fine by me.” They headed to the forest and soon were out of everyone’s sight.

“This seems like a good place.” Aella looked around, “What was…” When she turned toward the fairy, she found her naked, prostrating herself on the ground. freewebnovel.cσ๓

Eris and Aella stared at her for a second, confused, baffled, and quite probably, stunned. “What’s up with you?” Eris said with a disappointed face.

“You can start by wearing your clothes back.”

“I need to apologize first. I almost yelled at the herald. Ever since our queen Zephyr got sealed, we’re been having a bit of trouble keeping the lands stable.” She slowly lifted her head and looked at Aella, “It pains my heart to say this to you while the queen is still sealed, but we need help, quickly, and urgently.”

“But…” Aella looked at her with a worried and troubled face. “We have our problem now. You saw that army, right? They are going to attack a monster in the desert, it happened for him to be my husband.” Aella looked at Eris, “Our husband.”

“The herald’s husband is what setting those humans like a bee’s nest?” The fairy flapped her wings and began flying; the wind flew around her body and shifted into leaf-like clothes. This is how she stripped so fast, she was wearing her magic from the start.

“It’s a long story, but he’s recovering in the desert. He won’t harm anyone, but he’ll retaliate if attacked. If they don’t leave him alone, he’ll wipe their whole army.” Aella replied, “We need to stop them.”

“So you want him not to be disturbed.” The fairy started thinking, “Got it. I’ll get the fairy’s army to move and slay them all. In the meantime, there is a monster that we need to be killed.” The fairy smiled.

“No, no, no! You can’t kill the humans. We need to stop them, it’s best if no one dies.” Aella gasped.

The fairy tilted her head, looking at Aella’s face. “Why care about humans? They barely care about our forest.”

“Care about everyone. It’s all about balance, isn’t that what Zephyr would want?” Aella looked at Eris. “They have a monster to deal with, and we must stop that army from charging into their death.”

“As she said,” Eris pointed at the fairy, “It’s not about them dying. If Arad ends up killing them, it’ll cause us problems in the future.”

The fairy smiled, clapping her hands as if she realized something. “I see! Their death cause more trouble than their life. I get it; we’ll help the herald keep the humans alive.”

“So, what is this monster you’ve been talking about?” Aella sighed.

“Shallon is an old elf that’s been living at the edge of the forest. Lastly, he’s been kidnapping fairies and ripping their wings off for his experiments. Last month a large miasma of strange magic gushed out from his tower and almost killed the whole forest if we didn’t fan it away to the northern wastelands.” The fairy looked at the depth of the forest.

“Why didn’t you send the fairy’s army? I’m sure you have some capable fights, don’t you?” Eris stared at the fairy with suspicion.

“We did, but he seems to have a magic to control people. The moment our front squad approached the tour they lost their ability to fly and fell to the ground. He simply walked out and picked them out. We checked the area around his tower, and the magic seems to be imitating from his body.” The fairy waved her hands while flying around Aella and Eris, “It’s a domination curse. All those who get to 300 elvish feet close to him with be unable to control their bodies. And what’s worse, he set a powerful anti-magic barrier at the 200-foot mark, meaning we can’t snip him with spells.” The fairy looked at Aella, “Of course, we tried to throw large boulders at his tower with wind magic from the sky, but there is a powerful array of disintegration magic built from the 100-foot mark, making physical attacks also useless.”

“Did you try teleporting straight inside?” Aella asked.

“Impossible, the anti-magic barrier blocks all magic across it. It’s a massive sphere that extends underground.” The fairy shook her head.

“How fast is the disintegration array? Could a fast enough object pass?” Eris swung her fist, “Like throw a rock too fast, or an arrow.”

“We tried using catapult magic and sent a boulder at almost two thousand feet a second, and

it still disintegrated.” The fairy spun around and sat on a small bush. “That’s faster than most

cannons.”

“So this is why you were asking humans to help?” Aella looked back.

“Humans are weak, but they could have a wizard or two among them who could find a way to stop Shallon. I didn’t expect to meet the herald here; especially since we’ve heard you live in

the neighboring kingdom.”

Aella lifted her hand and pulled an arrow, “Can I accelerate this faster than that boulder?” She engulfed it with wind magic and started focusing. Her goal was to snipe Shallow with one

signal.

But at that moment, the fairy froze in place. “Wait! That magic!” She screamed, and quickly stripped again, falling to the ground. “To think I’ve been flying all this time!” She cried with a

scared face.

“Why strip again! You exhibitionist!” Eris growled at her.

“What’s wrong with you?” Aella shouted at her, “Wear your clothes again, I didn’t do

anything.”

“That wave of magic, the mark of the queen.” The fairy slowly lifted her head, “If I know this before, I would’ve slit my own throat for even trying to yell at you. Our queen.”

“What queen?” Aella looked at her, “And wear something!” Eris added.

“The crown, Her Majesty Zephyr left it with you, right.” The fairy said with a shaking voice.

Aella pointed above her head and a glowing green crown appeared. “You mean this thing?”

“That’s indeed the royal crown of the wind spirit. Until Her Majesty Zephyr returns, you’re our queen.” The fairy sat down, “It’s considered disrespectful to fly over the queen. So I’ll be

walking.”

“No, you aren’t.” Aella lifted her by the wings, “You either fly or I’ll carry you. I’m not wasting time walking through the forest. We’ll run.”

“About this wizard…” Eris looked at them, “Leave it to me. I did sense Merida’s magic moving, you better check on her. I’ll go take care of him and come back quickly.”

“He can control people.” The fairy stared at her, “What can you even do alone?”

Pin appeared from Eris’s back and hung on her shoulder, “Mistress can do things, a lot of

them.”

The fairy screamed and hid behind Aella, “It’s a devil!”

“Pin is harmless.” Aella said with a worried face, “And you hide behind your queen, what a

valiant fairy.”

“Touch it! Touch it.” Pin smiled, “My mistress’s great hand. You’ll understand everything,

ignorant little fairy.”

Eris already knew what Pin was talking about so she approached the fairy and extended a

finger to her. “Try it.”

When the fairy touched Eris’s finger, she could feel it, something just as horrifying as Aella being their queen. “A divine core?!” She screamed.
