Dark Wings Rise

Who's More Important?

You know what's harder than writing a chapter?

Naming the chapter.

GIVING A GODDAMN TITLE TO THAT CHAPTER.

It's time.

"Tikki, bring me the peacock miraculous."

"Please, don't do this."

"I said, bring me the miraculous. Unless you wanna go through that again."

"P-Please, do anything you want to me just-just spare Duusu! She's been through a lot-"

"I am doing this for Duusu, don't you see?"

"Y-You might think that but you're not!"

"What do you know about what I think?"

"I-"

"Nothing. Nothing, right?"

"..."

"I am going to fix the peacock miraculous."

"But how could you do that!? Not even Mas-" Tikki caught herself, "Not even most of the strongest superheroes could do it!"

"That's because they did not have it."

"Have wha-" Tikki gasped as she realised the book the brunette was carrying.

"The Grimoire."

"W-Where did you get this from?"

"You realize, my sweet Tikki, that you're in no position to ask me any questions."

"R-Right."

"But, since I am feeling quite generous today, I might as well tell you. I had this book off your previous master."

"G-Gabriel had the Grimoire!?"

"Indeed. He did."

"B-But even if you do have it, you can't translate it! Only the guardians can!"

"Oh is that so?"

"What do you-"

"PLAGG WHAT DO I DO!???" Adrien cried for the twenty-ninth time that hour, begging Plagg to do something-anything!

"Kid, I have told you this countless times. And I will tell you this again. Stop. Simping. For. Pigtails."

"I am not simping!"

"And I can fart rainbows."

"You can actually fart RAINBOWS!?-"

Plagg looked incredulously at his holder.

"OF COURSE NOT, KID! ARE YOU STUPID!?"

Reminding himself of his predicament, Adrien got back to beggi-uh-asking for help.

"HELP MEEEE!"

"YOU'RE NOT HUMAN WHEN YOU'RE NEAR HER, KID!! I AM LOWKEY SCARED OF THAT MARINETTE SHRINE IN YOUR BA-oompf-" Plagg's mouth was shut by a hasty Adrien.

"We do not speak of that."

"Wait until I tell her."

"When will that ever be?"
