Orion's heart swelled with joy and pride as he watched Lily accept the fire dragon and bask in the adulation of the crowd.
It was a moment of triumph, a culmination of her unwavering spirit and relentless dedication.
But amidst the jubilation, a faint unease stirred within Orion. He couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss.
His instincts, honed through years of training, warned him of an impending disturbance.
As if on cue, a hulking figure emerged from the shadows, drawing the attention of both Orion and Lily.
The man stood tall, his striking red hair and regal demeanour marking him as none other than King Realm himself.
The sudden appearance of King Realm near Lily was unexpected, and Orion couldn't help but wonder what the king's motives were.
The crowd, initially caught off guard by King Realm's arrival, fell into a hushed silence. All eyes were fixed on the powerful figure who commanded respect with every step he took.
