Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Chapter 220: Rising Drama

"I just want to ask something and you are the only person I am a bit familiar with here." Tamya said with wandering eyes. 

Meanwhile, further back than the old man, Mettany had just woken up to a bad feeling and saw this scene.

'I just woke up. How long have they've been talking for now? What are they talking about? What does that woman need? Who is she? Why is she twirling her hair like that?' 

She sat cross-legged and looked a bit manly if not for her thin waist and pretty face. Mettany is normally a reserved woman but when Avion is near, her personality switches to a more assertive and aggressive one.

'My husband is in danger...' she clicked her tongue, 'If only that stupid dragon lady is not here... AAAHHH!!' 

Meanwhile, Avion sat up, "Sure Miss Tamya, I'll answer every question I can answer."

"Please don't be so respectful... you can just call me Tamya."

"Sure, Tamya."

"..."

"Tamya?"

"Ah, I finally don't care and admitted that I'm a slut."

"Huh?" Avion frowned.

"I-I mean,"Tamya flustered, "...can I call you just Avion then?"

"Okay" Avion smiled, 'But what does slut means?'

'He's so sweet... hehe...' Mettany thought upon seeing him smile but then clenched her fists, 'But it's towards another woman!'

She has to breathe deeply just to calm herself.

"Then, Avion... do you know where we are being taken to?" Tamya asked as she crept closer.

But this subtle was noticed. Mettany's face twitched.

"We are heading towards the Crome Family. I actually don't know where it is, I am just sure we are headed there."

'Crome Family? Do they already know that much...? I think it is safe to assume that they already know about Arcansas.' Tamya's face became solemn.

She truly does not know what happened after she faint after meeting up with the Might of Torge and the others, 'I wonder what happened to that old wrinkly devil?'

"You know the Crome Family?" Avion interrupted her train of thoughts.

"Ah, no, I have no idea who they are." Tamya then continued, "But why are we..." she glanced around to see the others. She then noticed Mettany's fierce glare but ignored the petite woman, "included?"

Avion saw Mettany too by following Tamya's sight, 'Oh, she's awake.'

Noticing Avion's gaze, Mettany's facial expression abruptly changed and waved with a bright smile.

Tamya's eyes became cold while Dragonian Sheran at front frowned, 'What are they talking about there?'

Avion waved back. He had been thinking about why Mettany was not talking to him. He only later figured that it has something to do with Dragonian Sheran.

'So if I'm the one who came to her, it would be fine, right?'

"Tamya, why don't I answer your question there?" he pointed.

'Ah, is he coming here?' Mettany then took a glance towards the warden-like dragon lady who was frowning towards Avion's direction, 'It's fine, right? I'm not doing anything...'

'Oh, this young man is popular...' Galion bitterly looked from side to side. At the back, he was in the middle, 'Back then, I was like that too. Oh, how I missed those days. Not only mine, I even sacrificed my great-grandson's youth just to be destroyed by these people! Why is it that Dragonian Sheran and her group came at the worst moment!? Everything would've gone our way!'

Meanwhile, when Avion was about to stand up, he felt his hand get pulled down. A mortal still has lesser strength than a Rank Dih Elementalist.

"Avion, I don't think that's a good idea. We are under Dragonian Sheran's watch." 

Mettany's eyes suddenly lost their color when Tamya said something with puppy eyes.

Avion tried to pull, "No, it's fine, it's not like Mettany is going to do anything to me." but alas, his greatest weakness is his raw strength. He turned and saw Tamya's kind smile.

"No, Avion, I don't really think that's a good idea. We don't know what the dragon lady is thinking so we should be careful."

Avion noticed her determination and chose to give up, "Okay,"

Feeling like a victor, Tamya nodded with her a smile more than the usual kind one.

'It's getting cold there.' Galion rolled his eyes to see Mettany with her blank eyes, 'And...' he glanced at the princess and the hateful woman who once stabbed his great-grandson, 'Why are they included in this? Everyone seemed angry today except for one girl.'

'I understand that the princess must hate Avion Teller to the core but why is that bitch casting cold eyes too?'

Galion then inwardly sighed, 'I forgot that I'm depressed as well.'

"I have another question. How did you know that girl?" Tamya pointed towards Mettany.

"You know her too?"

"Yeah, a little." Tamya then inwardly snickered, 'Silver-haired... she should be the one who successfully took the Conditioned Elesk Lust according to that old demon.'

"Hmm..." Avion was then reminded of how he met Mettany. A smile blossomed from his face.

It was Tamya's turn to have her smile twitch.

With Rank Ey senses, Galion was able to listen to these youngsters, 'Hehe, will there be a drama later on?'

"I met her at the guild. Although the first meeting was a bit troubling, Mettany is a very nice person." Avion then tilted his head, "Why do you ask?"

"Nothing, just curious." Tamya waved her hands.

'Is that something worthy of being curious about when we are in this situation?' Avion suddenly felt something amiss when he recalled his first meeting with Mettany, 'I think I'm forgetting something.'

"Avion?"

Avion's eyes widened when he remembered, 'Naron and the others!' his heartbeat rose, 'I forgot about them.' he was suddenly filled with guilt.

'I need to see if they're fine! So many things happened that I forgot about them! What do I do, what do I do!?'

Tamya saw Avion panicked but when she was about to ask something, he left the words-

"Sorry, I need to do something first..." before disappearing as if his body turned into air and was swept along the wind.

"..." It took Tamya good seconds before she screamed, "Huh!? Avion!?".

Dragonian Sheran who was staring at them had her eyes wide open, "Gamon, he's gone!"

"Huh? That shouldn't be, I'm still binding him!" Gamon stood up in fright. He was confident that Avion wouldn't just disappear.

Remembering what they talked about last night, Sheran felt a cold chill, "Maybe you're ri- Ah!" when suddenly, something hit her body that pushed her back.

"Hmph!" however, with her tough body, she was able to bear the impact and just slid backward on the surface of the dense cloud. It was a good thing that she was at the very front, or else, she would've hit someone.

After stopping her momentum, she looked at what hit her and saw the man that they thought had disappeared.

"I..." Avion roughly breathed, "I did it! AHAHAHAHA!" he was like a monkey wrapped around the dragon lady's voluptuous body. His head resting on her plump chest as he laughed loudly.

"""Huh?"""

Everyone was unable to process what happened.
