15 Surprise Attack

"Fu*k you, Gavon" Ethan fumed.

"You are speaking with your master, mind your words Ethan" Gavon said with a stern voice.

"Now you remember about that? What happened to you when we went into the woods without any plan and annihilated all those rebels?" Ethan spat.

"It's a surprise attack" Gavon defended himself.

"Arghh.. With all due respect, master, surprise attack should be to the enemies not to your own people." Ethan roared.

"Oh, I forgot," Gavon said with his straight face.

Ethan, Lyo are left speechless.

For two straight nights they are hunting rebels without any break and eradicating them cleanly. Due to an unexpected attack the rebels did not get a chance to escape from Gavon clutches.

The trio are trained for this kind of situation, they can go on for a week without food. The trio single handed wiped them out in a single day. The three members are enough to do this but they need to train their troops. Practical knowledge is crucial.

But their initial plan is to come with their troop and complete the task. But someone who was in a hurry to leave did a surprise attack. Due to this attack they completely wiped them out without a chance of escape but Ethan worried about their safety.

He is the one who is in charge of their protection. From childhood he took care of Gavon like his brother. Although Lyo joined them later, he also looked after him.

"Fine, I can't win with you. What is our plan now?" Ethan inquired.

"Lyo, what is the status?" Gavon inquired.

"Dalton's family left early this morning for the capital city. If we start our journey then we will reach by tomorrow morning master" Lyo informed.

"Good. But there is no need to leave. Take a rest for today. We will plan tomorrow morning" Gavon stated.

Ethan, who was on the verge of crying, went towards Gavon and turned him by grabbing his shoulders roughly, "Then why are you in a hurry to complete the mission?"

"Just want to take a rest" Gavon said as a matter of fact.

"What do you mean by rest?" Ethan gritted his teeth.

"Ethan, did you lose your brain? Rest means to lay down on the bed and sleep. What else?" Gavon questioned Ethan who seemed like an idiot to him.

Ethan sighed and released his shoulder. He knows he will go crazy if he tries to find answers.

"Fine, do whatever you want. Don't bother me until tomorrow morning. Or else i will kick your ass" Ethan warned and left the room with annoyance.

Gavon chuckled seeing Ethan's face. Lyo, who stood to the side just listening to their conversation, did not comment on anything. He stood like a statue.

"Lyo, you also go and rest. I know you both are tired from the mission. And inform the kitchen staff to send his favourite tea to his room to calm his nerves." Gavon suggested.

Lyo nodded his head and turned to leave the room. But he reached the door and Gavon stopped him.

"Lyo, Wait. You too have your milk before going to bed. Don't go anywhere and rest in your room. I will visit you in the middle, if you are not there then you know what i will do right" Gavon said sternly.

Lyo rubbed his neck awkwardly and nodded his head before leaving the room. Once he went out of the room Gavon rubbed his temples.

"Sigh. It's hard to take care of these punks" Gavon murmured and went to his bed to catch some sleep.

Meanwhile, Ivy was awestruck by the scenery in front of her eyes. She travelled on air but this time she is not sitting in the cabin. This is like a flight journey but without any walls around.

Ivy felt incredibly happy, the fleeting clouds, the flapping sound of dragon wings, the rhythm of her heartbeat was truly magical.

Ivy touched the clouds to feel the sense. It feels like she touched the smoke or air. The feeling of touch is not there but the sense of joy is marked in her heart.

Simon, who is watching her daughter, felt content and he also enjoyed the ride with her. He rode the dragon so many times but he didn't got time to enjoy these minute details like watching the landscape from above, touching the clouds, having a friendly race with his friends. He missed those.

He was taught to look at land for noticing the enemy camps, he used clouds to hide from attacks, he had a race to beat his opponent. But this time he enjoyed it without all those things in his mind.

The ride became enjoyable when Ivy had a race with Ronald and came out with victory. The most surprising part is that his dragon is listening to all his daughter's words and complying with her orders.

Even it is showing his emotions with a puff or growl or purr his nostrils based on her requests. It goes faster as ivy instructed, getting slow when she feels drowsy. All these are new for Simon, generally his dragon should never listen to others words but here it is not happening.

He is not complaining about these but he felt something is odd. There are methods to make it fly above the clouds, to make it slow or fast, to stop. But ivy didn't know anything but it is listening to her words as it only understands her.

Simon felt something was missing but he left those thoughts behind his mind after seeing his daughter's happy face.

When the orange hues of sun filled the entire sky, the birds started to travel to their home along with them. Slowly the sky was taken over by the moons and stars.

Ivy tried to open her eyes to enjoy the night view but slowly she drifted into sleep by leaning against his father. Simon adjusted her hoodie and wrapped his arm against her to make sure she wouldn't fall.

The dragon also slowed down his pace to make sure she was sleeping peacefully. With that Ivy ride comes to an end with a beautiful memory.
