Damien set aside his curiosity as their ride descended abruptly to a lower altitude. He turned to his companion, Brother Alex, with a quizzical look as he gazed out at the vast expanse of the blue ocean. The dragon continued to soar at its maximum speed despite the descent.
"Brother Alex, may I inquire why we find ourselves flying at such a low altitude?" Damien asked.
"Your curiosity is understandable, given your outsider status in this Requiem world," Alexander replied with a touch of condescension. "No offense, Mister Darhk."
"None taken."
Alexander continued, "This world is inhabited by powerful beingsādragons, phoenixes, and other mythical creatures beyond your wildest imagination. Even my dragon hesitates to ascend to higher altitudes, especially over the sea."
