"Soon," this was the short answer she sent to him, and despite it having no data, he was ecstatic the moment he received it.

"Sure, soon I will heal you, and you owe me much to explain, my dear scepter," he muttered to himself, speaking to his scepter, with much determination.

James was very busy about his own recent problem, while his three ladies were also busy, discussing and thinking about this problem as well.

"At least he isn't in danger," Islinda muttered, after long hours of talking and discussion.

"He isn't, but who knows if he will be ever in danger again," Dora said, with extreme worry, as she was the one who met the dragon face to face.

"I understand your worries, but I can assure you, my master had also some powers, special powers, and he wasn't ever in any danger from it," Luna said, as she was the one with the most experience here dealing with such a special situation from her previous life.

"It's not a guarantee, did you past master transform into a dragon as well? Was he always losing consciousness, not aware of what was happening to him?" Dora asked, with extreme aggressiveness out of her worry.

"He wasn't, but he was different, and our little man here might be the same," Luna defended.

"Calm down you two parrots, we aren't here to quarrel, but to join minds and hands together to solve this problem," Islinda said, before turning to look at Dora as she added, "in my own empire, there was a special legion, very legendary and mysterious, even I couldn't see or know a thing about it except rumors. One of the rumors spread about them was that they had special non-human powers, something resembling what is happening to James."

"Was there anyone with a dragon?" Dora asked, without flinching back over her worry and concerns.

"No," Islinda shook her head.

"Was there any rumors about spotting a dragon, in recent times or old times at your empire?" Dora added, asking again with her stern face.

"No," Islinda sighed, "but we have stories about dragons in our long history," she added, trying to calm this explosive bomb down; after all she was the one with their man right now, and she should be able to help him, not be a liability and a burden.

"Old myths? You aren't serious, right? Everywhere we have these myths, and no one has ever believed them, or trace them to their origin!" Dora exploded with a mocking bitter laugh, "you weren't there with him the moment he transformed, he never recognized me, never friendly to me, and if he didn't come back fast, I was sure I wouldn't be here to speak to you!" she added with her mocking bitter tone full of aggressiveness.

"Calm down, it's just a mere incident," Luna tried to join forces with Islinda, calming Dora down.

"Do you think I'm worried about my life? it's he I'm all worried about!"

"We know, sweetie, just take deep breaths and calm down. It's all over now, and he won't turn into a dragon soon. We just need to understand what happened, find a way to control it," Islinda said.

"I think I have a way for that," Luna finally said, as she didn't want to reveal her own secret to them.

"The scepter you mean?" Dora suddenly asked, making her eyes full round from shock. "How do you know that?!" Luna asked with disbelief.

"Darling, it was I who was with him when he first acquired the scepter, you are just the last one to join, and acting all secretive and informative, tsk!" Dora's tone, despite being depressed and down, was still harsh and aggressive.

"Ok, mrs all secrets known to you, tell me what is the relation between the scepter and saving him," Luna said, in an angry challenging tone, while glancing at her rival with fiery eyes.

"Sigh!" Islinda couldn't do anything but sigh, in helplessness, as this meeting to save James turned miraculously into a challenging contest between them.

As for James, he was now glancing at the new intel he had received from Rigo's extraordinary search.

And what he was reading currently didn't like him at all!

The news was related to a gossip intel regarding some old and very strong person living in this grand sector. The rumors spoke of his strength to be legendary, his life to be infinite, and his manners to be sly; he was an evil mastermind, that once helped a small empire, provided dark sorcery to it until it became so powerful and mighty; the Terases empire!

"Tsk, so the warning I received from before was related to this master? Is he my enemy then? What a brilliant stroke of luck it is!" he complained, as he didn't think this would be his fate, to be stuck between a dead scepter and a hostile master.

The rumors only provided a name to him, Dartos, however he hurried to close the screen, while his eyes were stuck to the last line of words.

"This master was said to be one of the many in the many grand sectors in our universe; however only one master per universe is allowed, or else brutal wars would erupt."

The warning made James sigh, as he was now sure all the roads in front of him were blocked. His only hope, his real sole only hope, relied now on a gypsy girl he acquired by chance, who claims to be good to look for the godly area like she was proficient in bed.

However, he hardly believed her claims, as even after all this time, she gained nothing, not even a speck of dust of its trail!

"Sigh, it seems I should plan my way out of here, after all. This sector seemed to hate me, or might have a personal feud with me, dunno," he shrugged his shoulders, while resting his back on his seat inside his specially prepared room.

This room was prepared by the orders of Dora, as she made sure to fortify it with anything she had here to make it endure James' transformation, or at least until James regained his control again if that happened.

As for the ongoing war, James kept receiving the latest reports and updates from the frontline, where Rigo conveyed to him more disturbing news.

The monsters had evolved!

Strangely enough, the newly summoned monsters after some stage here started to show much ferocious nature, larger in size, and even some places gave birth to two monsters instead of one.

This news came days ago, but James thought they were sporadic occaustion, but when more and more reports came to him, even from the homeland, he started to take it much more seriously.

This wasn't a coincidence, this was a pattern, an evolution path of the monsters had been opened, for unknown reasons, like the way they appeared in the first place.

These new monsters proved to be hard to deal with, as they needed at least triple the amount of forces to attack and secure a single spot. This just complicated the situation further, where the seven forces had to decrease their moving forward speed, asking for regroup and moving together once more.

James also received news about these monsters coming from the newly conquered small kingdoms here. He just relayed the news to Dora, and Islinda at home, asking them two to be ready for these monsters.

And this message, the two messages actually, just popped up at the same time, interrupting the heated debate that was about to turn into a bloodbath between the three.

"What the hell…?!!" Dora suddenly stopped cursing them, and her eyes stopped over the message she received from James. Islinda also received the message, while her face showed great changes that startled Luna.

"What happened? what's wrong with you two?!!" she asked loudly, while waving both of her hands while speaking.

"The monsters got evolved," Dora muttered, "this is dangerous, my men are arranged on the basis of the old pattern, this is bad, I need to go now!" she hurriedly closed the chat, before heading directly out of her private room, towards the commanding deck, to start arranging the soldiers again.

"This is just bad! I need to go," Islinda also moved away, as she had tons of things to do. She had to go and rearrange the current garrisons, inform the merchants and mercenaries about this threat, and change the rules at the citizenship project.

"This is a danger, but also an opportunity, let's raise the prices for a little, adding the troops and the cruisers in items that can be exchanged, but never exceeding fifty percent."

She started to get busy, while Dora was also busy, leaving only Luna alone, glancing at the two empty spots the two were just taking, before cursing:

"What the f*ck is wrong with these girls! Acting so high and busy! I too have work, urgent work to do, bye ignorant arrogant hairy bastards!"
