They seemed to have sensed it the moment they came, but since they had the power to kill all of them if the thought so did fancy the old hags, the elderly pair didn't pay them much mind besides making mocking comments about how afraid they were getting. Their high pitched cackles coursed through the cave walls and Lesley stuck fingers into his ear sockets at how annoying it sounded. Comparing the laughing to nails on the chalkboard was pretty close, well at least to him. The entertainment they received from making the humans cower wasn't the best of their conversation though, they even let them in on a little secret. Spilling the beans about why the dragons had begun to wage war with Sol, all the guides mouth opened and so did the rest of the earthlings. With their expressions stunned, he couldn't decipher why anyone would want to do such a thing, but then again. They were witches. Just like in movies back home, the broom-riding grandmas rarely ever played the good guys anyways. As soon as the evil oldies were out of range, the guides exchanged some alarmed conclusions and planned a trip back to Sol. Lesley groaned, "Ugh. Not again..." He latched himself onto Avian desperately, allowing the man to dragged him a couple of steps while he fussed over going back before letting go and trudging his way along with them, cursing in his head all the while. He kicked a couple of rocks out of his way. When he's in a bad mood, he's in it for a good amount of time and the clock on his patience was definitely ticking as of now. All his whining fortunately kept his mind off of the actual trip and before he knew it, they were already at the kingdom's gates. "Woohoo! Yepee-", his celebration was halted as he stared at the ash and smoke the surrounded the entire half of the place that they'd only left hours before. Covering his mouth, he looked in horror at the destruction the dragons had caused because of what the witches had done to the unknowing beasts. "Oh my lordie, what a mess..." he shook his head in sorrow while grasping Inadi's arm(the non-damaged one). "It's a shame isn't it? Such a beautiful city in ruins because of those wrinkly old prunes!" he pouted at the frame-faced male. ----- Once again, the group found themselves being led to the prince's chamber in the castle which was thankfully still in one piece. [b]Guard:[/b] "The royal dragoons have something important to tell you, your majesty." They all walked in, the weight of the knowledge they possessed was heavy on their backs and Lesley was relieved that the guides were the ones doing all the talking. As their leaders finished explaining what they had found out at the cave, Prince Tobias fell into a state of shock and disbelief, their nods and verbal validations confirming the terrible truth. Withdrawing the information from their discussion that the dragon in the mountain was not affected yet by the witches, they were given the task of placing an amulet on it to keep at least on dragon on their side. [b]Ace:[/b] "So we have to go back to marshmallow and put a necklace on him? I'm sure if we can get him on Lesley, that should be fairly easy." LESLEY: "Eh? Why me? My hair will be ruined ˚‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅ )‧º·˚ " [b]Serenade:[/b] "You're saying we're to head back and place that amulet on the baby dragon? What if the witches are still there." [b]Prince:[/b] "Then we'll just have to hold them back and take the dragon. We can't stay here for much longer or they might take it." Feeling rude about bawling right there and then upon finding out that they were going to go back up that darned mountain again, it sent the pink haired man over the edge. As soon as they were out of the Prince's room and on their way up the steepening path, Lesley was off in a childish grumble. But he was quite satisfied with his current state as he had found one of the guards and seduced him into carrying him as far as he could go. Of course, this poor victim did not know what lay just underneath those pants and it was better he never did for it would never end well for the dude wrapped around his neck like some baby monkey holding onto its mother. He was rather the manipulative type. Every time the tired fellow even hinted at putting him down, he would comment on how muscular and strong the guy was, pressuring the guard into continuing the trek with the lank man in his arms. 'Guys are too easy (*з*)' he snickered to himself. The ride was an enjoyable one, besides the sweat drops that would occasionally fall on him from the overworked guard gifted with the task of hauling him up there. Lesley was nice enough to encourage him by wiping his moistened neck and face with a towel every once in a while along with some cheerleader chanting to keep his savior going. "You can do it! Go! Go! Go! ＼(=^‥^)/’`" ----- Climbing off of his ride's back, he thanked the pooped out guy with a smooch to the cheek before running away to join his group. They all looked exhausted while Lesley looked in pristine condition. The jog towards them was enough to get Lesley panting. "Phew. Good job guys!" he commented enthusiastically even though they probably saw him being manually carried all the way. The fact couldn't bother him the least bit. He was using innate talents to his advantage. There was absolutely nothing wrong with that. Sadly enough, they still had to venture through out the dangerous cave in search of a dragon like they had been earlier. [b]Jasper:[/b] "Be careful alright? And tell me if you feel any pain. I'll see what I can do okay?" "What?! My baby is hurt?" he scurried quickly and squished himself in between the two as he frantically began putting his hands all over Inadi as he tried to look for the injury. "Oh my goodness. Are you ok? Oh my poor pumpkin. That must've been so painful o(；△；)o" he observed concernedly at Inadi's scratched up arm.
