- As you can see I kidnapped EggChan.
Wemmbu stared in silence, he didn’t know what the invis guy was planning, but he wasn’t planning on risking Egg again.
His best friend was standing in a cage just behind that guy, and with a stasis prepare to take him away in any second, the dragon saw himself in the need to cooperate.
He would have to follow the Invis guy’s instructions.
- However I’ll be winging to negotiate. -The blue trimmed guy added.
- Right. -Wemmbu hissed, that was his plan from the beginning. Wasn’t it?
As no better option crossed his mind, the dragon opened his inventory to look for something that he could offer in exchange for the angel.
His eyebrows furrowed, he didn't had much left after the battle.
53 golden apples, some wind charges, a lush berry for some reason, his Netherite tools, his armor and…
Gambit.
The mace he got during his training with Mane, his most valuable object and praised possession. The representation of his status and chaotic combat stile.
Basically, the reflection of himself.
Would he be willing to give everything that makes Wemmbu who he is for his best friend?
…
Yes.
There wasn’t even a question.
It was his combat stile versus the person that has seen his worst and best moments, the one that has followed him trough hell and back, his first true friend in the whole server. Egg means everything from Wemmbu, he would be ready to give his life for the angel in any moment.
The dragon opened his mouth to speck, ready to drop Gambit in the flor to get Egg back.
But someone interrupted him.
-The entire treasure of the caverns -Arachnid declared, the voice changer echoed in the room.
Wemmbu’s eyes widened, his tail dropped to the floor. His hands trembled at the implication of those words.
-What? -his voice rasped, disbelief full in his tone. Why would they give so much for his best friend?
-In exchange for EggChan becoming my prisoner -Arachnid wouldn’t back down now, it was written in his firm posture and the way his eyes looked in the invis guy.
- HUh? -Flame mumbled.
Even Yungyx appeared to be astonished at his leader’s proposal.
- That’s like shuckers and shirkers of like diamonds, gold and everything. -he argued, moving his hands startled up and down to make a point. Arachnid ignored him, eyes still fixed on the blue trimmed guy.- What? Are we serious? -He asked baking off.
-I accept your offer -the invis guy called, it was over.
Flame groaned.
- I didn’t even get a chance to even…! -Flame tried to argue, but was inmediately cut off by Arachnid.
- Its worth it -His face was still null of emotions.
Wemmbu darted his look back to egg, his friend was glaring at the leader of the Spider group worried.
They exchanged a look, light blue scared eyes meet with anxious indigos.
- Egg Chan will be safely delivered as soon as I receive the first half of the items. -They were done for, an exchange was begin made and Wemmbu had no idea of how to stop it- And once he is delivered, I will expect the second half. -They invis guy closed the deal.
- So… -Flame called the dragons attention, voice severely annoyed- Wanna kill this guys or?
Was he serious?
- Flame we can’t they are going to kill egg -Wemmbu's voice came out wrong, tired and done for. He had accepted it was all over.
- Well, what exactly is stopping me from taking a fight here? -he asked, resting his sword on his left shoulder.
Something in the dragon snapped, oh so thats how he wanted to play?
- Because then I’ll tell him where Lommedy is and you’ll be in the same situation as I am. -Wemmbu mockingly declared, but there wasn’t a smile in his face.
The Nether demon tried to contradict him but they both knew Wemmbu was right.
- It is… Whatever.
Wemmbu let out a long sigh. He turned to the Spider people.
- Why do you guys even what egg? -He asked tiredly.
Flame started heading towards the exit, if he said anything the dragon did not heard him, he needed to know why they wanted to take his best friend away from him.
Yungyx shifted on his place, asking silently for permission to explain, once it was granted he started walking to were the purple-haired guy was.
- Listen Wemmbu, umm -He was looking for the right words to explain, Wemmbu stared at him.- I don’t actually care about getting Egg at all, like it literally means nothing to me at all. Nor does it matters for Arachnid at all. But having Egg means that we have you.
Wemmbu felt his blood ran cold, he could also feel Egg’s prescience at his side growing angry.
- When Lettuce captured you -Yungyx continued- He was a fool to lock you up and not use you for your power to win. If he had, maybe he wouldn’t have lost.
The dragon pressed his fists at his sides, Lettuce could be a lot of things, but he knew the caracal wouldn't go that far. He had a strong sense of justice, even tough Wemmbu didn’t liked it.
- But with your power Wemmbu, Arachnid will rule the entire server and finally become king. -Yungyx smirked faintly- And you are going to be helping us win a ton of battles in the future. -The guy made a pause, he knew he had won. He continued with excitement.- So, What’s it gonna be?, Are you going to join us in the caves?. Or we’ll be killing EggChan.
