One by one, the Beast Rangers who had a second space began to bond with their new partners, while the other species of dragons cheered them on.
"{You know, it’s a perfect match. Budget brand Karl for budget brand dragons.}" one of the hatchling Mist Dragons joked.
The Swamp Dragons frowned at him. They were fairly sure that was an insult, but the dragon was smiling. That made it difficult to tell if nobody else reacted.
Remi floated over in Spirit Snake form and draped herself over Karl.
{There is only one Karl, it’s only natural that everyone else has to pick someone different, } she insisted.
The Mist Dragon nodded. {There needs to be more Karl. None of these ones can even bond with dragons. I want a cheat code speed growth pet.}
Remi laughed. {Be glad that you didn’t spawn in as Karl’s pet. You’d never get to be in charge that way. Look at me, even as cool as I am, I’m still a younger sister in the Karl’s team.}
The little dragon nodded. Remi had a point. Being bonded to someone too powerful came with disadvantages. They could actually set rules that you had to obey.
Adults were no fun at all, most of the time.
He had met Lotus already, but she couldn’t really count as an adult. She might be old enough, but surely, you had to be larger to count as a real adult. That might be why she was such a cool person.
Though, now that he thought about it, the one known as Ophelia was pretty cool too. She chopped up meat and threw it to them, instead of making them eat off some boring tray.
The Werebear was fun, but she wasn’t small.
Remi watched as dozens of thoughts crossed the dragon’s mind, each clearly visible on his face, as his expression shifted. The Mist Dragon was never going to be a great poker player.
The Naga retreated as a pair of Swamp Dragons began to fight, and Karl moved to separate them.
{That one’s my person.}
{Demons are stupid. Why can’t I dunk its head?}
Karl grabbed one in each hand so that they couldn’t do any more than swat each other with their tails.
"Calm down, both of you.
You, no trying to drown the Rangers.
You, good job protecting your person, but now it’s time to stop fighting."
The two hatchlings flailed their tails at each other for a few more seconds, then realized that it was pointless, and that their claws did nothing to Karl, who had Eternal Lightning active.
In Cat Demon form, his hand was also large enough to dangle them by their necks, so they couldn’t even bite him.
Not that they expected it to work any better.
While Karl was clearing up the argument, Cara finally made it back to the Tiny World with Tena. The young dragon was still attached to Min, though whose fault that was had not yet been determined.
Tena had the claws of three feet latched into the green dragon’s clothing, but Min was holding the Divine Lighting Dragon tight, ostensibly so she didn’t fall.
