The soldiers did draw their weapons but only took a defensive stance.
Rattling sounds reverberated and the air around the dragon got hotter. I could feel the energy in the air. This God was about to wake up.
Seconds later Xerphas opened his eyes. He glared straight at me. Yellow and green-tinted eyes were rather something. To say beautiful would be an insult. They were divine. Very big: very divine.
But before he could pull off anything I made my intentions clear. "I have dealt with the cause of your anger."
He didn't say anything and looked at me as if to say 'go on.'
"The leader of this country did something stupid. I- no we overthrew him and now he will be executed for the crime he has done against you. You have the right to be angry but only at him. Since you already destroyed half of the town, I ask that you leave the rest alone. In turn, I will guarantee the safety of your land and the remaining dragons."
