Chapter 3:THE OBJECT

"So what are we looking at here?" Cerberus asks while looking at a cube of about the size of two adult palms put together, that seems to be made of black metal and has one hole in the middle of the top surface, glowing a blue light.

"From what I can see, it's a device with a sucking mechanism; I don't have knowledge of what has been captured inside. I mean, this is human technology." Reebabo explains.

"I see Felix is at it again, will he ever give up? You said one of our spies got it from one of his underground labs?" Gangola asks Reebabo.

"Yes, it was a male faerie from the spy squad; Maria reported that the faerie saw one of the lab guys take the box from a password locked compartment. He said from how far he could see, there were few of them. My fear is Felix may have more in his other labs. The reason we have this is because the faerie caused a distraction and got this after imputing the password he saw the lab guy use." Reebabo says this with worry in his face.

"Won't the guys notice a particular one is gone?" Theux asks.

"True,but I was told they left an illusion that is similar to the box they took. I feel that may hold em off without serious suspicions." Reebabo assures Theux.

"I will try some spells and potions to unlock this thing, I have some that may work." Gangola takes the box and leaves them.

Just then Archimedian, the dragon leader comes into the room with an angry dragon and angry faerie who look like they had just been in an argument.

"What?" Cerberus asks with much curiosity.

Archimedian takes a deep breath and then speaks "These two were having some heated argument about a burnt tree"

Cerberus then laughs loudly "Are you serious? What a ridiculous thing to argue about! As the leader of the dragons , can't u fix this?"

"I would have but when it comes to matters with the faeries, I feel it should be treated delicately by the immortals" archimedian replied

Cerberus then walks away saying "wisdom guy, please fix this, I need some fresh air"

Reebabo gives a breath of frustration "what happened?"

The faerie began "I was busy harvesting some apples from the tree I was nurturing, when all of a sudden this beast that just happened to be flying over faerie land breathe fire on my beautiful tree!"

"No, I did not! I explained that I sneezed, I don't really go well with certain plants like apples" the dragon retorted back at her.

"So that's meant to be my problem, I know u just lying to get off the hook, you dragons just hate the sight of...." The faerie gets cut short by the dragon's rant.

"Don't bring other dragons into this. What are u even saying? Do you think I would even dream of wasting my fire on such.....?"

"ENOUGH!" Reebabo has a more infuriating look than ever. He points to the dragon "What were u doing flying above the faerie land?"

The faerie then says exactly and Reebabo gives her a scary look and she comports.

"Sire, I was on my way to the mammoth caves to meet a friend of mine who is a troll." The dragon tries explaining to the immortal.

"I've always told your leaders that none of you should pass through the each other's lands to get to another gifted land. You know dragons and faeries dislike each other for reasons I dont even know." Reebabo puts his hand at the bridge of his nose as he says this.

"I know sir, its more comfortable and relaxing to pass through their mountains than the woods. The trees at the woods are obstructing at times. I sneezed due to an allergy and it wasn't my fault I burnt her tree. She's being over dramatic" the dragon ends his statement with a Stern look on the faerie.

"Oh forgive me for caring over the one thing I do best" the faerie shoots back a similar look after using a sarcastic tone.

Reebabo then solves the issue telling the dragon to apologize for sneezing on her tree and that he should help to clear the mess from the burnt tree.

The dragon reluctantly apologizes.

"Hey! You too have to treat matters maturely, u were just shouting and calling him a liar, that's horrible. Apologize as well". Reebabo turns to the faerie.

After the faerie does the same, Reebabo says "Always use the other route to get to where you want, to avoid arguments. Faeries should stay at their mountains while Dragons stay at their volcanoes, we are meant to work together and fight alongside each other not against."

"Sorry sir" the two say in unison

Archimedian then speaks "sorry for the disturbance, we will leave now, thank you sir."

Theux who has been enjoying the show laughs with much amusement.

"Honestly these rivalry between them is tiring " Reebabo smiles while saying this.

Gangola storms into the room and speaks with much fear "Guys, where is Reelora, you all need to see this!"
