The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1200: Energetic Button

Karl transformed, and Button immediately crawled on top of his neck, defeating the whole purpose of flying around to wear her out, instead of letting a freshly rested baby dragon drive everyone insane after an all afternoon nap.

Dana poked her once Karl launched himself into the air.

”You’re supposed to be his flying buddy, not just sightseeing.” She reminded Button.

{Right. He’s so fast, though. But the Karl will slow down, so I can keep up, I’m sure.} Button reluctantly agreed as she flapped her wings to take flight.

Karl laughed, and activated [Behemoth] on her, which still only made the dragon three metres long.

But the extra wingspan made it much easier to keep up with Karl’s casual cruising speed as he toured the major areas of the Tiny World.

{Oh, there are the swamp camp workers, and the new eggs. There’s a big one there that I’m pretty sure will be an Earth Dragon.

And there are the juniper bushes.

And the ghost tree stand. Those trees are kind of creepy in the dark. The glowing spots look like ghosts.}

They flew a full loop around the Tiny World, until Button’s wings started to flap out of sync, and her constant descriptions began to lag.

{Just ride on my back the rest of the way. I will drop you in the lake for a nice cool swim before dinner.} Karl suggested.

Those were magic words, and Button quickly settled in on his head, watching the ground fly by under them as Karl returned to the beach.

As they got close, Dana grabbed Lyric and jumped off his back, flying back toward the group, so that Karl could turn and dive, dunking Button into the lake.

Button laughed as she flapped her wings to swim through the clear water, and then burst into the air, splashing water as she shook herself off before landing and transforming to human for dinner.

Karl walked to the edge of the lake in dragon form, then transformed and put on swim shorts.

”Oh, you have a human form too? That’s pretty cool.” Lyric noted.

Karl patted her on the head. ”This is what I looked like when I was younger. Now, I’ve got plenty of appearances to pick from.”

Button gave him an awestruck look, while the older Druids tried not to laugh. It was just a human, a beast and a dragon form. If Button followed that path in her skill tree, she would also learn to transform into either an animal or were-beast form soon.

But Karl had successfully kept her entertained all day, which made it much easier to get everything done, and for the sake of their peace of mind, they wouldn’t call him out.

”Did you have plans for tomorrow?” The Elf on kitchen duty asked instead.

”Not big ones. I’m almost done adjusting the Power Matrix, I just need to balance the power of all the points, and then I should be ready to start trying to improve my strength again.

Then, we’ve got our wedding coming up in a few days.

I’m sure that I sent out the invitations already. I just don’t recall who all was able to come.” Karl replied.

The Elf chuckled. ”Well, we were going to send Button and Lyric, plus Joanna and Chrysanna.”

Button cheered at the news that she would be invited to a big fancy event, and Cara woke up, wondering what the good news was.

[Just Button celebrating her invitation to the wedding.] Karl informed her.

[Oh, the baby dragon. We should eat, and then I will take her to play.]

If that didn’t wear the dragon out for the night, nothing would.

It was a regular thing, however. The moment that Cara appeared, everyone waved to her, and Button ran up to give the Badger a hug.

”We have the good dinner today. They’re making the super spicy tofu and onion stuff.” Button explained.

Cara gave her two enthusiastic thumbs up, and then flopped on her back, so the dragon could rub her belly.

Just living her best life.

The caretakers brought out a low table for Cara and Button, while Karl led Dana to the arranged picnic tables to eat with the others who were working in the area.

”You’ve got a pretty good arrangement going here.” Karl noted as the dishes were placed out on the tables.

”Yes, thank you for the opportunity. This space is practically perfect. There’s just so much of everything, and nobody threatening us or stealing our crops.

Even the little ones have been better behaved since we arrived.

You might not believe it, but Button used to be a little troublemaker, always angry and starting arguments with others. But now that she’s got the lake and the mountain, plus all that forest, instead of open grassland, she’s been so much happier.

I would like to say that Cara is helping, but she just encourages Button to come up with new pranks.” The Elf who had been cooking replied with a deep sigh.

”Well, she is a Chaos Badger. Pranks are as necessary to her as food and water.”

As much as they hated to admit it, Karl had a point. It was only natural that a Chaos Badger required Chaos to survive, and that a young Forest Dragon, the closest of the dragons to the Fae species, would be drawn to them.

Forest Dragons were once known to play with nymphs, sprites and other creatures of the forest, during the last resurgence when such creatures were more common.

Now, both were rare to see, and most of the ancient forests had been cut down or destroyed by battles.

”Should we do something about those two?” Dana whispered as Cara and Button began to draw pictures in the sand, plotting their evening shenanigans.

”We could invite Lotus in.” Karl offered.

Dana paused. Would that be better or worse?

If they brought Lotus, she would likely bring Ophelia, who might help keep order. But she might also just let them run wild until they were tired so that she could have a good nap with an exhausted priestess.
