The dragon fell to the ground, breathing heavily. He hadn't been this tired in a long time. He slowly turned his head towards where the control panel should have been. He raised his sore paw and waved it in a vague manner. The soldiers understood the gesture and the barrier fell, revealing the deathly pale young men. Ari was the first to jump onto the sand and run up to Kei. Vi and Forth followed in his footsteps, but the vampire stopped above the dragon, scanning him with a questioning gaze.
-I'm fine...- the reptile gasped.- Gods, how strong he is...- he panted. He knew perfectly well that if he felt so tired in dragon form, he would barely be able to stand after the transformation. He preferred to postpone it for a while longer.
-I don't know if I should say this, but it looked terrifying.- Forth sat down next to the dragon, watching Ari collapse with relief next to his unconscious friend. Vi wiped his forehead and began to circle around the lycanthrope.- A few times it seemed like Kei was going to break free or bite you. Or that you were going to break his neck.
-Aha, no chance...- Draco assessed coolly, staring at the ceiling.- After the transformation, it will be difficult to do anything to him. I was afraid before, but I've learned that there's nothing to be worried about. I was more scared that he would rip my shoulder off...- He laughed hollowly.
-Do you think...
-I don't know, Forth, I don't know...- The dragon closed his eyes, focusing on his fatigue. Muscle soreness loomed unpleasantly on the horizon, even though he exercised every day. Maybe less in dragon form lately, but he still tried to do it in a closed training room and in Master Matheo's workshop. - We definitely won't see results after one try. - He added, slowly getting up. - How is he? - He asked, looking at the elf's relieved face.
- He's sleeping, deeply. I don't think anything happened to him. - Ari smiled shyly. - Thank you,
