Even though her attacks didn't seem to do much of anything other than cause the giant green thing some pain and discomfort, Kirisvala sustained her monstruous roar for as long as she could, her powerful pair of lungs allowing her to hold it for far, far longer than any normal human could shout before going aphonnic. All throughout this, more and more magic beams emerged from the air around her, pelting Xyrixia. But eventually, even though it was due to something completely unrelated to her efforts, the young Hadrian saw the giant green girl regurgitate a lot of living creatures that hadn't seemed to be inside her earlier, and shrink to a tiny fraction of her previous height as a result. It was clear that she hadn't had anything to do with it, but, needless to say, the bubbly Hadrian wasn't the sharpest knife in the cookie jar, and so, after seeing the green girl shrink, she allowed herself to stop, every magic beam still in the air dissipating instantly, no more coming forth anymore. The air around her continued reverberating for several moments, but the building stopped shaking and the loud roar coming from her was no longer a thing. Instead, she fell to her knees, gasping for breath, all out of air due to the sustained roar and a little bit tired from all the magical energy she'd just spent.
But even then, there was a smile on her face, and when she recovered at last, the pinkish red-haired girl stood up and looked towards Rikki and Mars, doing an excited little fistpump with both of her hands, the cuteness of which was likely hampered a bit by the fact that said hands were in fact massive claws. "We did it!" She shouted at the two of them, her tail beginning to draw circles in the air once again, spinning very rapidly and periodically smashing into the ground, though it did not seem to carry enough force to do more than scratch the rooftop of the building she was on, and it certainly didn't seem to hurt her. "I knew we could do it! I knew we could stop the green woman! We make a great team!" She continued, flashing a happy grin full of sharp and pointy teeth, completely oblivious to the fact that they weren't really the ones who managed to get her to stop.
Then, however, she realized that the others were no longer there. Instead, they were below, interacting with the green slime girl and another human person. Jumping down, she dropped from the several story building, landing in a hand-stand, her massive claws absorbing most of the impact, leaving her unharmed from the fall.
"Hello! I'm Kiris, nice to meet you all!" She said to them cheerfully, before turning towards Xyri. "Sorry for shouting at you, but the flying boy told me you were causing trouble and I wanted to help."
Sarah patted Hanah's head upon hearing her request. "Sure, I'll get that for you as soon as a waiter comes." She said with a small smile, before glancing in the direction of the two actors cosplaying as Superman and Batman. Her smiled turned wider as she realized what was going on. Hanah likely didn't know that they were just actors, but at the same time, the eldest Grimm didn't really feel eager to crush her youngest sister's fantasy, so she thought of something else to say.
As she tried to think of something, though, the pale woman noticed the blond man from before staring their way. She only glanced in his direction, but it was enough to tell that he was approaching. Once he arrived at the table, she looked at him with calculated surprise. "Oh, this place? I'm afraid there's not much we can tell you. We only just arrived, and this is the first time we visit, so we don't know much about it, beyond the fact that they have a respectable menu." She giggled, before turning back to Hanah, patting her on the back. "Say, why don't you go and find out by yourself if those two are who you think they are?" She suggested, and then looked back at John.
"Anyway, my name is Sarah, and these are my sisters. A pleasure to meet you." She said with a charming smile.
Gilbert smiled when he noticed that the compliment was well-received, relieved that he hadn't made a fool of himself there. He was about to say something else, when he heard her ask if he was checking to make sure the mark on his chest was gone. His smile faded and he had a slight frown on his face as he nodded, not angry-looking, but rather simply serious. "Yes, that's right. I was checking to see if the clock was still there." He stated, but then shrugged. "But it looks like it's gone. We've gotten rid of Ku for good, thanks to you." He smiled slightly at that last comment, though he seemed a bit nervous about it nonetheless. "Still, though... I can't help thinking about what the Time Demon said before dying. It worries me..." He said, looking up at the sky.
"They're already here."He shuddered and shook his head, telling himself that it was alright. Hadrimmelis said so herself after all, and he had reason to believe the word of a millenary dragon.
"But nevermind that." He said firmly, more to himself than to Aru, though he turned to look at her afterwards. "So... is there anything you want to do now? I don't exactly have much to do for the time being." He commented.
"Then I will aid you when the time comes, Ashyandra. It is the least I can do after what you've done for us here." The World-Dragon telepathically replied after hearing out the Returned Vokornian's words. There were many threats arriving during these dark days, but it was precisely through these hardships that she had to remain strong, for the sake of her son, of her children the Hadrians, and of the universe as a whole.
Sitting down on her throne after stepping through the Serpent Hole, Hadrimmelis sighed. A World-Dragon could hardly feel tired, but what she felt at the moment was close.
"Lady Adrianne, you're back!" Spoke a tall man with enormous claws and a bone-like tail, along with four sets of horns upon his head and a pair of leathery wings on his back. He was clad in golden armor, with missing gauntlets and slots specifically crafted for his wings and tail, and he held a massive warhammer in his hands. As soon as he saw the human form of Hadrimmelis sitting on her throne, he fell to one knee and bowed his head.
"Rise, Astormael. What do you have to tell me?" The disguised dragon spoke, leaning her head on her fist.
"Our spies detected that the prodigy of the traitor family of the mountains is missing, but beyond that, there is nothing to report, my lady. Annriven, Marakkan and Balavar uphold their truce, and it doesn't look like a war will come anytime soon." The royal knight, Astormael, said. Hadrimmelis internally smiled faintly. She knew all of this already, as she knew everything that happened on her surface and was inside the minds of every creature living on her, but that didn't mean that upholding appearances was a bad thing.
"Very well." She nodded. "I will keep this in mind. You may leave, Astormael." She stated. The golden-clad knight glanced towards Hadrimmelis' side before leaving. Noticing the direction of his gaze, the World-Dragon looked, and noticed that her younger sister had followed her through the portal. Of course, Astormael knew better than to question when the Eternal Ruler chose to bring visits, but it was still an odd occurence.
"You have more questions for me, Yami, don't you?" The scarlet dragon said, waving her hand and creating another throne in front of her own. The doors were sealed shut telekinetically, so there was nothing to worry about. "Please, speak."
