After the harrowing battle with Vornax and the destruction of the undead dragon, the Dragon Kingdom settled into an uneasy quiet. The air still carried the scent of scorched earth and acrid acid, but now, there was a sense of relief hanging over the survivors. For now, the immediate threat had passed, but everyone knew the war was far from over.
James sat in the quiet of the royal chamber, his body aching from the intense fight. His muscles were sore, his mind weary, and his thoughts scattered. Yet, amidst the exhaustion, there was a growing peace within him. He had saved the Dragon Kingdom from annihilation once again, but more than that, Pippy's news still echoed in his mind: he was going to be a father.
