CHAPTER 122: We Will Do Our Best

"Uhmmm Vermilion Bird sir."

Vermilion Bird opened his eyes when Nixon called for him.

"I am planning on entering the seas," Nixon said.

Stormie, who was with him, looked at him in shock.

He never spoke of any of this.

"Oh, it seems that Black Tortoise's brat is growing up," Vermilion Bird spoke seeing the resolution in Nixon's eyes.

Black Tortoise chose to keep quiet.

"Tell me then, what do you plan?"

"Water will always be the foundation of ice. As of the moment, this island is close to the cold side of the world. I want to go there for the next two months and get myself acquainted with the coldness."

'They are not simpletons Vermilion Bird, once they really grow I know those guys will understand just what kind of power lies within them.'

When Vermilion Bird mocked the rest for being too childish and all.

Saphira actually said those words.

'It seems that girl could really see all the potential on these brats,' Vermilion Bird thought.

"I won't stop you. But just as you have said, two months is all you can have to master it."

Vermilion Bird looked at the ice glacier.

"Black Tortoise, come back here in a week to help with the ice," he then added.

"I understand."

"How about you brat?" Vermilion Bird looked at Stormie.

Stormie pursed her lips, receiving his look was still scary for her.

But it was not like she wasn't thinking of anything as well.

"I want to master the ability to fly."

"Finally."

The two of them were shocked.

Roc looked away.

"That's what I am telling you Roc, see she wants to master it."

"It was danger-"

"Stop treating them like a baby," Vermilion Bird instantly reprimanded.

"I know."

Stormie spoke up.

"I know how dangerous it would be. A little distraction at the beginning and I would sure plunge to my death. If I were to be careless then I will surely lose control and fly myself towards a different path to death."

Vermilion Bird pointed at her with his wing while looking at Roc, "See that, she knew how difficult and dangerous it is. How many times must I tell you that you should trust them as well?"

"You trust them?" Roc couldn't help but to ask.

"Not me, it's that other brat. She has so much trust in them that she knew once they grow up, they will surely become daring and all," Vermilion Bird scoffed.

Nixon and Stormie felt like they were complimented after hearing what Saphira thought of them.

"And I will not trust them yet, after everything they had shown me. They were far better when they were still some snotty brats."

Nixon and Stormie's mood were dampened by his next sentence.

But there was nothing they could do, he was right.

They became stronger and grew old but they were worst as compared when they were still children.

"Well, if you can create ice at your own will and use hot water as well. And if you are able to fly your friends together with you. I might change my mind," Vermilion Bird said afterwards.

But he still harrumphed and looked away.

Nixon and Stormie smiled widely.

They answered at the same time, "Yes, we will do our best."

Nixon was given a different task, not simply creating ice but hot water as well. Which means that he needs to control not just his water but the temperature of it as well.

While Stormie was given the task of allowing even her companions to fly not just herself.

They could fly for short distance just like when they arrived at Cetus Kingdom but that's just it.

The flying that Vermilion Bird wants Stormie to do is for them to be able to fly for a longer period of time.

Even so, if Vermilion Bird were to acknowledge them then that would be great.

Since they found out that Vermilion Bird and Qirin were like the leaders of the mythological beasts, each of them had the thought of wanting to be accepted by these two.

Well Qirin was like someone who just goes with the flow, so the main target would be Vermilion Bird.

"Just like Black Tortoise, come back here in a week Roc. You are the king of the wind, you can do better in finding locations for her," Vermilion Bird then said to Roc.

After that the four of them left.

They of course bid the others goodbye before really leaving the island.

They had spoken to the heads first before speaking to Vermilion Bird, that is why they were confident in leaving.

Because the heads said that they can handle the island while they were away.

"When we meet again, I will be much stronger," Nixon said to Stormie.

"I will be stronger than you," she replied.

"I think that is something impossible for you miss A," he grinned.

"You dare- Until the last moment," Stormie gritted her teeth.

And their bickering went on for about half an hour.

Black Tortoise and Roc were already tired of stopping them so they left them on their own.

"See you again Stormie," Nixon finally said seriously.

"Yeah see you again," Stormie replied.

The two of them smiled at one another and nodded their heads.

It is time for them to stand up on their own.

No more playing around.

No more dilly dallying.

It is time to do their work properly.

If they don't want to see Saphira getting hurt again just so they will survive, then all they can do is become stronger.

She had done so much already, it is time that they too do something for the mission they can only handle.

"Come back safely," Stormie shouted at him, her eyes filled with seriousness.

"Back at you, don't come back for me just to heal you," he replied.

And so the two of them left on a two month journey to strengthen themselves.

They will come back much stronger than before.
