Seeing the dragon prince once again gave Emery a swirl of mixed feelings. There was indeed a long-standing, unfinished rivalry between them. The last time Emery had seen Zach was during the Magus tournament, Zach had visited him afterward, only to find Emery's lifeless body.
As the two approached each other, the atmosphere grew heavy with unspoken words and lingering tension. The weight of their past encounters seemed to hang in the air, casting a shadow over their present meeting.
Suddenly, a group of a dozen magus in uniform marched up to them. They were the Magus enforcers. A high-ranking captain, a seasoned and authoritative figure, led them.
Emery was taken aback when the other enforcers saluted Zach, addressing him in a firm and respectful tone, "Commander, we have been expecting you. Please follow me."
