Sharaman and Co. were in for another round of surprise. They believed that the scorpion gave a ride to them as a part of friendship, but, now seeing an even larger and stronger dragon act like a cute puppy to the duo, who played fetch with it, gave goosebumps to them.
" My child is so cute, " the mother saw nothing odd in this scene at all. Indeed, love is blind. They were resting on a grass meadow tired from the overnight journey. They would reach the capital city in a day at this speed.
" Daddy, let us walk to the city from here. I don't want the guards to freak out at the sight of the dragon. " Dastan spoke. Sarah sent the dragon away into the summoning portal. It was next morning by the time they reached the gates of the majestic city.
They were stopped at the gates and verified before allowing in. They retired in a nearby inn. The children went to the bathhouse while the elders relaxed. They returned after a long, hearty bath and slept peacefully.
The next day, in the Colleseum,
\\ WELCOME TO THE ROYAL MARTIAL ARTS TOURNAMENT OF THE 2109 YEAR OF THE REIGN OF THE REX DYNASTY. \\
