Arad returned with Altair, and the dragon-hunting journey started immediately. Arad, now a powerful Pricolici with a vampire and werewolf pirate crew and a massive horde of cursed sea monsters, had found himself with enough power to feel confident again.
The poor Prince Jack had found himself without his pirate crew, it was a devastating event, but he didn't blame it on Arad as this wasn't the first time a dragon sank a pirate ship. He quickly formed a new crew and set them to work again, thankful that he didn't send his assistant with them or she would've died.
At this moment, Arad was sitting with Jack and the king in a meeting at the royal palace. The king's advisors as well as Mary, Mesharra, Echidna, Plum, and even Altair were all present.
