Watching the Past

Chapter 6

     Flopin gripped onto the chair. She aimed properly, so she'll definitely hit the opponent. But will that damage him?

     "Great aiming." Cleophee beamed.

     "Yes." Eva agreed.

     The arrow flew with an amazing speed. It soared through the air and hit the window of the building, shattering everything around it.

     "Woah!" Elely gasped. She had seen her mother and brother shoot arrows many times, but she had never seen such impact.

     "She got him." Alibert said. However, for some reason, he had the feeling that something might go wrong.

     "All right!" One of the Eliatropes exclaimed as he stood up. The rest who were with him also stood up, drawing their weapons. However, just as they were about to charge, Meeyu stopped them.

     "Wait!" She shouted, narrowing her eyes. Soon, her eyes widened in shock. "Impossible..."

     "What's wrong?"

     "She got him, right?"

     "Watch."

     "Why? What's wrong?" The boy with red hair from earlier asked. Meeyu let her weapon down as she pointed towards the building. The boy took out his telescope and stared down at where Meeyu had shot at.

     The screen then showed the indoor of the building where it was completely covered with dust. Suddenly, the dust disappeared and scattered away, as there stood the hooded figure, glowing blue. It showed his back, apart from his head, as the hood slowly slid off.

     "What?" Flopin stammered. At first, he thought the opponent would be difficult to defeat, but after seeing the blow, he thought Meeyu defeated him. Now, he took back everything he had in his mind.

     "Impossible! That blow would have been impossible to dodge!" Eva exclaimed.

     "Well, let's see who the enemy is, shall we?" Dally popped in and clapped his hands together as well as Elely.

     Back to the Eliatropes, as they got a better view of the figure, their eyes slowly widened in horror. There, in front of them, stood a tall blue and white silhouette that every single one of them knew.

     The whole audience froze. Some of them had their colors drained from their faces. Slowly, their heads turned to look at a certain dragon who had the exact same expression as his brother.

     "I-is that...?" Cleophee said nervously. She didn't know about the Oropo Incident, but she knew a lot about the dragon.

     "Oh no..." Eva facepalmed.

     "Sir Adamai...!" Airin gasped, backing off.

     "What?" An Eliatrope exclaimed as he looked down the roof. "No way..."

     "We have to go against him?"

     "It's impossible!"

     "Let's just run first."

     "Judging by their reactions, I'll have to say that Adamai is a strong one." Master Joris commented as Vini nodded.

     "Of course, you'd understand better if you knew his age." She shrugged as Dally raised his hand.

     "How old is he?" He asked as Eva frowned.

     "Exactly 532 years old." Vini answered as the audience gasped. Adamai himself also raised an eyebrow. Though he was not surprised for himself being able to live that long, he couldn't help but to be amused.
