The Kingdom of Arcesia

Chapter 5

Persyra was walking nervously around the cave: ,,I'm going!“ ,,No you are not, calm down Persie“ said Kalrys but he was visibly nervous too.

,,Glaurust was caught!“ Maura's voice appeared. ,,Oh no, grandpa! Why, how? What happened?“ asked Persyra. ,,What did he do this time? And what is the punishment?“ asked Kalrys calmly. ,,I'm affraid you can't help him this time Kalrys. He wasn't caught by the Witches this time...“

,,I'm sorry to say that, but
Darkmore caught him sneeking in Kilmoor.“ ,,Off course.. he was really smart.. as always.. surely, nobody would spot 40 feet long dragon sneaking in Kilmoor, the most guarded villag.. I mean “city“ of Arcesia in these times. Jesus he is so
stupid! What is his judgement?“ asked Kalrys and spotted Persyra huddled on the floor quietly sobbing. He knew why she was sobbing. Why his precious little girl was crying. She lost her mother just 189 years ago and now her grandfather was imprisoned by Darkmore, the darkest force that he could remember of his
1038 years of life. This won't be easy. It would be miracle if Glaurust was even freed sooner than after his death. Sneaking into Kilmoor. What a stupid idea.

Kalrys wondered what the old dragon wanted in here. Why was he sneaking in? There is no chance of them getting to know the reason. It will be even miracle if the old dragon will be allowed to come to Persyra's wedding one day. Even with the dark magic riders. He doubted every single letter of that happening.

,,He was turned into a toad and left in Oruna´s swamp somewhere. He was granted chance of life and if he survives one week, he would be turned back just without the chance of flying for 2 months.“ ,,Oruna's swamp?! They will eat
him in first 5 minutes!“ Persyra started crying more.

,,We can help him in the swamp, if we find him. That are the good news... but you and Kalrys need to wait for the girls. Don't worry guys, all of the Setting Sun is searching for him already. We will find him.“
