The second set of wings right below the winged forelimbs made Hudson and D knit their brows cluelessly. They could only glance at each other in wonder. Lee stepped near the beasts and saw that all three Wyverns had this addition.
Unlike the forelimbs, this pair was purely wings. It was small and about a third of the major lift provider, thus it could only produce flight when in company with the winged forelimbs. It was folded well and stuck close to the scales. A glance of the beasts' anatomy and people would try it difficult to spot this inconspicuous part.
The beasts looked rather simple with faint symmetrical stripes and designs running along their body. This peculiar texture was provided by the coloured scales which ranged from fair to darkest variants of the Wyverns' elemental colour.
It was after keen analysis that Lee found the second and third pair of eyes hiding among the decorations. It was just behind the primary pair of eyes, a pair a little elevated in position and the other below them. The two extra pair were three quarter the size of the original set and formed a triangular structure.
The three toes on the hindlimbs exposed intimidating sharp claws. The enhanced muscular outline of the hindlimb was a sight to behold. Walking closely around the beasts, he could feel their vague thoughts through their serene slumber.
As Lee turned around, he saw D and Hudson pointing at the bellies of the three beasts. Following their sights, Lee found that the underbellies of the three Wyverns have large and wide scales to protect their tummies. It astonished Lee as this adaptation was something only seen in Dragons and some variants of Drakes.
*faint growling*
Lee pressed his stomach and walked to the cafeteria to grab something to eat. D and Hudson heard this auditory sensation and chuckled before walking to Lee. Without wasting a moment, three cups of Chocolate Milk appeared out of the Workshop screen, and the trio gulped down the mind-soothing drink.

"D, did you find the whereabouts of the Law Fragments?"
Lee inquired after taking a sip of his Chocolate Milk. The question made D open one of his eyelids as he was sitting on the rocking chair.
"At present, searching for the Law Fragments is like looking for a coriander seed in a haystack. The possibility for the Law Fragments to exist as a single entity, like how we encountered the Law of Lightning, is barely 1%. Furthermore, there is also a chance that some people might have acquired the constitution of elements.
All I was able to do is match the continents and the Laws they house. Decarna, the continent of vegetation and animal life, would contain Poison, Nature and Wind Law Fragments. The continent of Romoke could have Fire, Ice and Stone Law Fragments. The Exiriado is known to house the Law Fragments of Metal, Dark and Light. The Law Fragments of Gravity, Space and Time are supposed to be in the continent of Chreith.
The Water Law Fragment should be in the oceans, and it is most probably hidden in the depths of darkness. The possibility for it to be in the custody of a mythical beast does exist. Until we are in a range with the Law Fragment, it will be hidden from my senses."
The term 'Mythical Beast' caught Hudson's attention. He hushedly asked D about it, and D gave an elaborate explanation, adding the explanation of the four zones of the ocean. The exposure to the information of the Trial Zone and the Unknown Zone made Hudson pale. With eyes open wide in horror, he listened to the narration of Dnekewy.
"What about Tubians and Amortals?"
About a minute after D's narration, Lee raised his doubt again.
"Still nothing. The Amortal's energy signature is nowhere to be found. The Tubian that made contact with the entity is also unknown at the moment. We are also facing some difficulty as the approximate location of the Tubians shown in the Map is increasing the radius by each hour. The camouflage is also flawlessly perfect."
D expressed his inability to complete the tasks and shook his head. His voice was gloomy and had a tinge of complaining in it.
"The Tectonic plates?"
D's face brightened and he leaned forward in his rocking chair.
"About that, I have some good news. Something seems to be obstructing the movements of the plates and the time delay is increasing by each day. Previously it was 30 years to the next major earthquake, but now it has increased to 37 years.
The reason is unknown. It is just that I couldn't find anything visibly blocking the advance."
Lee nodded as he understood D's situation. Even as a Dimension Sovereign, there were many things unknown to him. This revelation only hinted him that Lee himself will have to venture into the world to find them.
Gulping down the drink to its last drop, Lee placed the cup on the table and stood up to walk to the beasts. Their slumber was peaceful and cute to behold, but Lee was able to sense their emotions and could hear their thoughts.
"Enough with the slumber!"
Lee spoke in a cold tone, and the Wyverns opened their eyes and raised their heads to look at Lee. Seeing the familiar figure of Lee, they produced sounds of joy and happiness and walked towards him.
In front of Lee stood the Greater Wyverns of Fire, Ice and Wind elements. Their presence alone gave off their elemental pressure which Lee found uncomfortable and enjoyable simultaneously.
"How does it feel?"
Lee asked in a friendly tone and the beasts roared in unison. Their reply rippled across the System Space and the little beasts, including Perrafin and Fero, were shaken.
The three roars amplified each other and swept their respective elemental trait across space. The warmth of the Fire, coolness of the Ice and the refreshing wave of Wind, swept past Ruella, and she slightly opened his right eye. After registering the presence of the three Draconic beasts, she had a faint smile on her face before sinking back into her meditation.
'View.'
