Chapter 1452: On a Disk of Light
They camped outside, and Arad took a nap to allow his wounds to heal. Even he needed rest from time to time, and for a dragon, a few hours of sleep were nothing more than a man closing his eyes for a few seconds. What he needed wasn’t sleep, but the time of silence and calmness, the quiet that let his body relax.
Sprawled on the ground beside the campfire like a dead bear, Arad’s wounds slowly closed beneath his bandages.
Mathilde approached Cerilla and the rest, "The situation is good around us. We won’t face another spatial disaster anytime soon. But we should move."
Grace glared at her, "He is asleep. You’re not waking him up. Not again."
Merida was already standing behind Mathilde, and before the angel could notice, she was surrounded from all sides.
"I’ll carry you all on a disk of light and take a safe route, he’ll sleep soundly, and I’ll be able to make sure we stay on a safe route." She looked back, "We met the last disaster because I’ve wasted time fighting Arad instead of carrying everyone away."
Mathilde lifted her right foot, set it on the ground ahead of her, and spun around, drawing a circle. The circle flashed with golden light and formed into a massive disk. "Take a seat, we should move."
It wasn’t like Grace or Merida could do anything about it. They didn’t see the threads of space, and their only way of navigating the maze of branches was following Mathilde’s guidance.
Everyone got onto the disk of light, and it started to silently fly through the air, following the branches and climbing upward. Mathilde was at the helm, guiding the disk through the maze, avoiding all dangerous monsters and space disasters.
"Was Arad always like this?" Mathilde asked. "I mean, jumping head first into the fire."
