ARAGU

Aeronimbus

"Are we there yet?" It was the young Elemental, Aera who was back to herself again being impatient.

"For the hundred times Aera! We'll know when we get there!" Lexus answered being irritated. The princesses laughs along with Kira.

"Say. You're from Aeronimbus right Aera?" Princess Amane asked.

Aera looked at her Master who was quietly sleeping at the back part of the carriage. It was so big that it could fit ten Araguras.

"Well, Master Xaeron found me and I have the element of Air. I think I am." Aera jokingly answered.

The others laughed while Xaeron was still sleeping comfortably.

A loud sound shocked them all. "Where is it coming from?" Kira asked taking cautious in the surroundings. There was nothing on sight just plain land and dirt. No trees, bushes, nothing. If there would be an ambush they got nowhere to hide.

A loud shriek coming from nowhere and unidentified thing made the carriage stopped from its tracks. Everybody came out from the carriage well, except from the Master of Fire.

A shadow that is so big came flying around them. "Watch out!"

It went straight to them so fast and they haven't figured out where to hide. Good thing Kira had fast reflex and covered them all including the carriage with a defense wall and protected them from the monster.

"Is everyone all right?" Lexus asked and saw that all of them nod assuring him they were all okay.

He saw Xaeron still sleeping he walked to the carriage and shook her body so hard. "Wake up sleepyhead! We're under attack with something I don't know about!"

Xaeron grunts and eyed him for a while. She stood up grumpily and made a tsk sound. The Master of Fire went out the carriage and signaled Kira to undo her defense wall. Kira was hesitant at first but she trusted Xaeron.

"Alright come out!" Xaeron yelled particularly to the monster.

Another sound erupted from above the sky and they all saw the monster went straight to Xaeron.

"Xaeron!"

"Master!"

They all shouted in unison. To their disbelief, the monster was licking Xaeron's face like it wanted to be petted. "Stop it Yula! Eww! I said... No!" All of them were surprised to see a huge black flying lioness licking Xaeron's face.

"All right, all right. Go and take us to the entrance." Xaeron laughed and brush the saliva off of her face.

Yula, the flying lioness jumped back and started circling around Xaeron. "Wanna play?"

The flying lioness wagged it's tail and jumped up and down. Xaeron made a fire ball and tossed it upwards. The flying lioness flew towards the fire up in the air to catch it.

"She'll burn!" Princess Frea shouted but Xaeron brush her off. "Don't worry! She's made for this."

The flying lioness caught the blazing ball of fire in it's mouth and brought it back to Xaeron. "Good girl." Xaeron patted it's head and it purred.

"Now, do me a favor. Lead us to the entrance." Yula bowed down then flew upwards, the others quickly went back to the carriage and followed the flying lioness. "Fly and follow the lioness Aera." Xaeron commanded but Aera refused.

"No thank you, it might bite me up there." Aera joked and the others laughed.

"I doubt that, Yula knows her family." Xaeron whispered lowly.
