The Mighty Manticore

Quinta Parte

(The Manticore's POV)

As the Manticore and the Benign Matron, Emilia, walked to the Forge House of the blacksmith, the Manticore asks "So are you and Maveron a couple or just mating buddies?"

"What?! No, we... are nothing but friends, Alan" Emilia responded but really wanted Maveron to be hers and she to be his

"Don't call me Alan. But if you really aren't a couple, I am known to be quite good in bed" the Manticore said and Emilia just got weirded out and didn't bother to answer, the Manticore just chuckled. Then they finally arrived at the doorsteps of the Forge House

(The Griffon's POV)

Meanwhile, Geanu and Maveron has just walked to the gates and nodded at the watchmen. Geanu asked Maveron, "So are you and miss Emilia a couple?"

"What? No sir." Maveron replied

"Ahh, good. If you ever get the chance, tell her I am quite nice and gentle in bed" Geanu said

"Uhm sure sir Mourn" Maveron just said as he was weirded out and made a disturbed face. Then when Maveron and Geanu got out of Nevar, Geanu transformed into a Griffon and carried Maveron and he flew high and fast to the swamp

(The Manticore's POV)

The Manticore went to the door of the Forge House and knocked four times, no one answered. The Manticore got angry then knocked for another five times and heard loud clanking noises inside as if someone was tripping and falling down, until the door finally opened and a man with scaly skin and yellow eyes. The Manticore was a bit surprised by how yellow and narrow the blacksmith's pupils were, "Ohh uh, ahem, Hello I have come to get your oh so fantastic metallic arm sir"

Then Emilia touched and pulled away the Manticore away as she clarified "What my companion here meant was that we've come to order a metal prosthesis for his lost arm, may we come in?"

"Mok moko mok mok mok" the blacksmith uttered then he coughed and slowly said "Oh sorry uh, sir and madam hahahaha, I am busy at the moment, may you come back again another time?" he asked

"No!!!" the Manticore roared fierce fully then he forced himself inside his home and said "You will give me that prosthesis you little bitch!"

"Uhm alright! But, but, but, but I don't exactly know how to put it on you hehehe" the blacksmith said to the Manticore, the Manticore responded with an intense look and a growl, "Uhm but I can still give it to you hahaha, ahem, just please wait there on the uhm long seat and uhm wait for me, yes?" the Manticore and Emilia looked at him very worridly, Emilia just nodded and made the Manticore sit down and wait for the blacksmith

(The Griffon's POV)

As Maveron and Geanu were about to reach the borders of Deaco town, Maveron said, "So you and Alan are brothers huh? How'd that happen? You're more bird-like and he's both literally a beast and more beast-looking"

"Well it's because we have two very powerful ancestors that we got our appearances from. Alan got more of his real beastly form from our mother, Elizabeth The "Hideous" Tarasque's, side, but she wasn't at all hideous when she's in her human form, and Alan also got it from our mother's ancestor, The King of Monsters of his time, Mušḫuššu's real beastly look. Meanwhile I got more from my father, Purnell Mourn, The Vicious Cockatrice, and from his ancestor The Roc" Geanu explained to Maveron.

"Ohhhh... Oh dear, how does that work? I mean I was taught that monsters couldn't bear any children" Maveron said as they flew over Deaco town

Geanu explained to Maveron "Well, all the first monsters were killed and were eaten by humans and whoever eats monster flesh or drink our blood can give birth to young humans that can turn into monsters when they eat human flesh themselves... that can actually also mean that almost all monsters are related one way or another"
