Chapter 154: Pride

"So when are you going to mention that Fiona took a big chunk of the chaos orb out of that dragon's gut?" asked Gritzl. 

Tiamat shrugged noncommittally, "I wasn't planning to bring it up but now that you mention it I honestly don't see what your issue is." 

"My issue is that she did it secretly, it's like she has her own secret agenda going on doesn't that trouble you?"

"I'm not in the least bothered by it, in fact, I expect it, the chaos orb shards give her hope that she can one day return to her world but if I have way by the end of this journey she won't be needing it," he answered blithely not in the least floored by Gritzl's baseless attack on Fiona's character.

"Besides, we all know that until those chaos orb shards are cleansed only Fiona can handle its disturbing powers."

Thought provoked, Gritzl rubbed his chin inquiringly, "Why do you think this is so?"
