Oli aside, there was still one person feeling even greater pressure.
The fourth young challenger, who was being utterly ignored by all, was stuck between a rock wall and a sharp cliff. Trapped between a daunting, draconic trial and vastly underwhelming expectations.
Still, that bestial candidate leaped into the arena with only one thought running through his head.
"I'm ready for this challenge!" That gruff, irritated voice rang out loud and clear.
Treeda and Uutrai were the first to notice the fourth challenger. The rest of the crowd turned their attention to the arena next as a high-elder Toxic-shadow Dragon flew down.
The dragon stood on its hind legs. It peered down at the brawny bull with a hint of caution.
"Are you both ready?" Uutrai casually asked.
In reply, the bull kicked up up some dirt as if revving up his eager muscles.
"I'm more than ready!" bellowed the Stone Bull.
The young dragon nodded as well.
