PoV Jamie
When Ryu returned transformed, everyone started to panic. Nassus had clearly lost control over his power, and we were trying to put him to sleep, but now things started to get dangerous real quick. Most of our brothers don't know much about our eldest brother's martial prowess, but I do, and that's because I once tried to get into the army.
At the time my brother stopped me by putting an unreasonable condition on me, I would've had to defeat him in a fight. At the time, this was unreasonable, as it's impossible for a dragon to beat another dragon that's twice as old. But I was a fool. I thought my venom was worth something and accepted his challenge. The result was the most brutal beating of my life; even our mother never beat us that hard.
'At the time, I thought I would've died at his hands.'
