"No I haven't and I pray it never comes around my city." The chief was quick to say, showing how much he was afraid of the dragon coming around his location.With the response they've gotten from him, they knew that there was no valuable information that could be gotten from Cliffsage pertaining to their mission of hunting the dragon down. So it was to leave Cliffsage for another city which could be a target of the dragon.But the chief continued with a question, "Sorry to ask, but why are you asking about the dragon? And why do you think it might have passed through this city?""We want to hunt it down." Eric answered the question, and he was sincere in his response.Since his question had been answered and the first reason for their coming was achieved, the King had to introduce the number two purpose for their being there. "Secondly, we are here to know why a site in this city was not renovated after the destruction it faced years ago."The chief was left to think about what he was

Since they had left the house of the chief when the sky was still dark, they did not move at a fast pace. They had just left the city of Cliffsage, heading for the city of Newgriffin, when the skies began to brighten up. About some distance away from the Newgriffin, they saw a few riders heading towards them at great speed, so they had to stop for them to come close because it was sensed that they had an important message for them."Your majesty," the captain in the midst of the riders saluted as they came close before continuing with the message which had brought them since there was no need to be asked before speaking. "The dragon has been seen and there was news reaching us, telling us that you seek the dragon.""Where?!" King Luca asked at once. "Northby."Not waiting for further orders from the King outside the eyes which met with his own, General Aaron whistled as he waved his hand in the air, thereby drawing the attention of the army with them, then added with words. "Change

Next they were all in a small circle as with the commander and the riders that just came in. One of them had just finished making the report of what had befallen their comrades. But the news which was heard about them and the dragon was one that made the ears of the five people who they told this to tingle.They had just narrated to them how the dragon attacked and consumed them with his breath. According to their words, the dragon had known about them keeping up tracks with it all along but refused to react as it waited for the right time to do so. And the time it did was actually the right time based on the dragon."What are we waiting for again?!" Eric Claus asked them at random as he saw the manner in which they all froze. He was probably the only one amongst them that did not feel the way they did and even himself could not tell what the cause yet he was sure that it was as a result of words which they said about him being a gift to them. He knew that there was more to why he had

Harris was already about to make the report of what happened there to his father before the question was raised so it was not a problem for him, he answered at once. "It's the dragon. It's around." Zachary looked up to the sky and then around the surrounding area as he was now confused of what Harris was saying. His mind was that if the dragon was around, then the soldiers would be engaged in combat already instead of running here and there. Since he could not hear the sound of the dragon nor that of combat, he asked. "Where is it? I can't see nor hear it." "It was visible some moments ago. It flew over the camp about thrice today, and from what our teachers and superiors say, it is planning an attack as it is observing our status so as to know the best way to launch its attack on us." Now that was serious as Zach was charged in the spirit. He also knew the reason for the unordered movement of the soldiers. He discerned that they were preparing for war so that they would be in their

Since Aaron Gordon was the highest ranked officer in the troop, his instruction was obeyed without questioning, even though some of them still thought that Eric was the rider who is controlling the dragon on what to do and what not to do.While the soldiers did as General Aaron had ordered, Eric then gained enough distraction as he moved on the dragon's back from its trail end down to the neck joint.As he made this move on the dragon, the soldiers who were doubting who he was now believed what Aaron had said. They were able to discern that if he was the dragon rider in control of the dragon, then the dragon would not be seeking for means to throw him down. And for this reason, they did not give the dragon any chance to do what it had in mind.The fight was now tougher than the dragon had expected, so it was time it would leave the fight, but before doing so, it had to release another astonishing strike which was its fire breath which it had gathered, ready to pour out.Eric who was o
