Arise the Dragonslayer [⚔️The Flash warrior series #1⚔️]

Chapter thirty-eight: Fairies hate drowning, especially Lenard

"Thanks for the help, Fawn!" Tinker Bell smiled at her friend. "I'm really glad you helped the new ones out, despite what happened many years when the-"

"Tink, chill out, girl! The past is the past blah, blah, blah, and all that jazz. The important thing is they'll make it, so they can beat the acorns out of the Wagon."

"Dragon."

"Right, dragon! Does that have three heads and big wings? I wish me and the animal fairies can go with you so we could persuade it to not kill everything," Fawn laughed at that. "But, I don't think it's possible for us. . . since it's a monster anyway." A fairy guard landed beside Tink and Fawn. "Whoa, who's that? Another fairy guard?" Victor asked.

"I guess so," Chloriette replied. The guard had slick, long black hair with tanned skin. The shape of her deep golden eyes the same as Claes, because . . . you know, Claes is a serious man. She wore a dark orange vest above her striped long sleeves. Two grayish gauntlets strapped on her lower arms. Peter smirked, "That, my friends, is Nyx, she's serious when it comes to doing her job. Real serious."

"Not all the time." Fawn chuckled. "She still hasn't changed a bit."

"And so do you, Fawn," Nyx told Fawn monotonously.

"What brings you here?" Tinker Bell asked.

"I am given a task by the queen to tell these human warriors good news."

"Whoa, good news? For real?" Victor's eyes widened, posture showing his excitement.

"Well, that's music to my ears." Lenard finally let himself relax.

"What is it?" I asked Nyx.

She answered calmly, "One of our scouts reported that they spotted two other warriors running away from the pirates."

"I guess we know who those pirates are," Chloriette added.

"One of them is badly injured from the gunfire in the forest. Luckily, we have Zarina's shrinking dust so the scouts could save and hide them in Pixie Hollow." The word injured made us tense. Who's injured? "Who- who's injured?" Chloriette demanded. I feel lightheaded, my heart is pounding a thousand times as if there's a hammer hitting it.

"The scouts were in a hurry to bring the injured one to our clinic. We didn't receive enough information after that. As for later, you can go after the treatment is over." Nyx sniffed before she grimaced. "What the Pixie dust is that smell?" She sniffed again. "Smells like Crocodile."

So Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, and Fawn went to the Pixie Dust Tree as per the queen's orders, so they're not gonna be with us. It's been three hours since the treatment. Like the tree, the clinic was built inside a trunk from a tall forest tree. The four of us sat on a wooden bench together with the other fairies. Some had sneezing problems, using a tissue to cover their noses. Others had injuries from rebuilding the Pixie Hollow. They whispered and chat when they noticed us, but we just ignored them and waited.
