Chapter 169 – The Pillars

  The team of four, and their dragons, flew across the sky in the hopes of providing the team with what they desired. They desired to get out of the nano-universe of Mare Dra, but by all odds, their dragons didn't want to leave this po matter how sensitive they were to the team's ands, so this ic that everyone was avoiding.

  They flew for about ten minutes, and then had to dive off of a huge cliff in order to get to the destination that the dragons had in mind. This cliff featured a one kilometer drop of elevation, which was very ued from this world who mostly gave them lush ftnds, and normal hills to look at so far. The team was stunned when the ground below them was lower than it was supposed to be, so they held on a bit tighter.

  Ortana held oightest in parison to her friends, she was afraid of heights. Sure she had been a messenger bird through a portion of her long life, throughout her shapeshifting journey, but she had always avoided flying too high because of the same reason. A bird with the fear of height was unheard of, but she experie.

  “Do you want to grab on to my armored pillows again?” Arvena joked, after she noticed the other whimper nervously behind her. “You squeeze your hands below my armor this time if you want a better grip, I mean, it's better than holding on to etal.”

  “Don't be gross, I’m old enough to be your mother! Don't let my young goblin body fool you, I've lived tens of lives before this...” Ortana spat iher's ear, as she noticed that she was flirting lightly.

  “Well, I like them a.” Arvena joked.

  Afterwards, they plummeted towards the bottom of the hill at greater speeds. Ortana was close to defeg herself, so once more, she held on to what she ko be more dependable.

  They the bottom of the cliff eventually, and had the pleasure to withese three, huge pilrs afterwards! The pilrs were forty meters tall, teers wide, were fifteeers away from each other, and were made entirely out of stohe stonework looked like it was as old as time, and the carvings ohat were from various nguages, made the pilrs look all the more a.

  “Are you sure this pce is exclusive tons?” Skendus asked, and then he poi some characters that were chipped into the pilrs. “That's written i nguage, my nguage to be exact. So if rats were here, then the whole world was here.”

  The writings they witnessed seemed as old as the pilrs themselves, so they were baffled. This universe arently visited more often than they realized, and this was weird, because acc to some written records, the st time goblins visited the nano-universe of Mare Dra was well over two hundred years ago! If this pce was visited as often as these pilrs hihere would be more recorded cases, but yet there weren’t.

  Arvena was stunned, but she protected her own perspective heless. “The universe is exclusive tons, but that doesn't stop people from sneaking in. Maybe some other poor morons tried to fight Iron the past as well?”

  “Humans were here too, from the looks of it.” Ortana poi another carving. “I reize this nguage, it's what some weird cavemen used. It says to… summon the lights?”

  “Hmm…” Skendus then mumbled, “The carvings I've read said something simir. It said to summon the light beas.”

  The team didn't have the slightest clue of how to summon anything like that over here, so they looked at the dragons for help. The dragons brought them here, so the team figured that they were more informed, as this was their own, home world after all.

  “ you get us back to Valporovus, dragons?” Skendus asked them, he was formal with his request.

  In response, six out of the seven dragonflies just took off, and flew at the top of the stone pilrs. Their quick respoo his request was accelerating, it was a good sign, so everyoheir breath in and hoped for the best. Billy watched his friends work.

  The dragohen collectively blew fire, and they struck the top of the pilrs all at the same time. Twons were blowing fire on each pilr, for almost a whole minute, and then, something iing happened!

  Ohe dragons stopped blowing fire ohe three pilrs suddenly lit up, with a fiery glow shining from deep within their stone bodies! The glow was blinding, even in the middle of the day, and if the rge pilrs had lit up just a little bit more, theeam wouldn't be surprised if the pilrs caught on fire!

  “Jesus!” Tim backed away, “Look at that! All the writings are blue now!”

  They were fasated by this dispy of power, but as amazing as it looked, they still didn't see a portal in front of them. This made everyone anxious the more they became aware of it, but then, Billy saved the day!

  Billy the dragonfly shot a single fireball through his jaws, towards the pilrs, and the fireball disappeared as soon as it ehe very ter point that was between the pilrs. Ohe fireball disappeared, a rge, twenty meter tall, and teer wide portal popped up!

  It was dark blue, which was the same shade that the carvings currently had. It was beautiful, and it almost looked like the dark night sky, as it was only missing a couple of star-like bits shining within it to plete such a vas! The team was mesmerized!

  “I guess any dragon get out of this universe whehey please,” Tim pointed out, and as he walked a bit closer to the portal, he said. “Let’s hope that we won't get visited by another Iron Cw sized bastard anytime soon. I'm praying to whatever god is the closest, to keep us safe… oh, who am I kidding? The odds of us fighting a gigantic dragon again, willingly, are o zero.”

  While he mumbled on, Arvena had already pushed him through the portal, and she was making sure that the rest of the team were passing through as well. She wasn't in a rush, because she wao say goodbye to Geie, so she was to be the st to gh the portal.

  “I don't know why you were in Valporovus, Geie, and I'm gd I saved you from that ice prison, but it's time for us to part ways. This is your home, I 't ask you to leave this universe, it has one of the most beautiful mountains I've ever seen, I’m sure you’d miss them…” She tried to express herself, and then a hot tear ran down her eye.

  Geie, seeing this, took a few geeps at first, and thearted rushing forward much like a happy, excited dog would! He bumped Arvena on the chest, and so, the two of them ended up going through the portal.

  The dragonflies followed suit, they were equally as happy to bouhrough. Their enthusiasm gestured that the dragons had it much easier to go in and out of this universe, purely as they pleased, and with that sidered, Arvena had gohrough the portal without the slightest bit of guilt in her sce. She never asked Geie to leave the nano-universe of Mare Dra, it was his choice, his leap urely voluntary!

  Anyway, the portal closed two mier, and the unique glow of the pilrs disappeared along with the portal. The carvings on the pilrs looked a lot less iing now.

  If the team had taken some time to read more of the carvings, they would've figured another portion of this universe's history. There ecific carving, written in the goblin tohat may be the most iing one from the bunch!

  “Iron Cw the Wicked eludes us, he keeps jumpiween universes! If we don't stop him soon, he will grow up to be well over fifty meters long, and I'm afraid that we won't be able to kill him then!” The carving said.

  What was written here was expectable, but it was likely written a long time ago, because the Iron Cw that the team just fought, was well over one-hundred meters long, not fifty! Whatever had enced his growth, had worked really well!

  Iron Cw was either a few hundred years old, or had grown very fast throughout a couple of decades. Either way, he had always been a menace from the looks of it, but thankfully, he may no lue the micro-universe of Valporovus any longer! He had been syed food!
