Sustaining numerous wounds, the dragon looked at all five of the people who fought it with great contempt then it flew away.
Seeing and hearing the battle as well as the stop in the sound of destruction, people start coming out one by one from their hiding place and their attention was focused on the five people standing on a rubble.
"Is it over"? An wizard said.
"Did the dragon fly away"
"The dragon flew away and it's those five that drove it off".
"Really? They did? Just the five of them"
"They must be really strong to fight a dragon".
"They are our hero ".
People start to gather around them and starts to reverend them. It took a while but they all manage to get away from the crowd and went to the outskirt.
"Who are you mate" Larmore ask Zenobios.
"Me? I'm Zenobios Bruggen, it's nice to meet you four". Zenobios replied.
"I'm Larmore Aetheria, we would have had a hard time fighting that dragon if not for you". Larmore said to him.
"No, no, the same applies to me fighting a dragon is not an easy task, especially a matured one ". Zenobios replied.
Seraph wipes away her tears and faces Zenobios.
"It's quite embarrassing crying in front of a stranger ".
"Hmm, it no problem, we all get that time to be emotional especially if it for a loved one ". He said a bit awkward.
"My name is Seraph Zenivia, this reckless boy here is Igor, my little brother ". She said.
"Yes we've met during our battle with the dragon ". He replied.
"And I'm Barbara Karma, it is nice meeting an elf ". She said.
"Well, it is nice to meet you all, I'll be taking my leave then". Zenobios said ready to leave the place.
"Wait! Zenobios, erm we four are a team and we are trying to revert to effect of the magic plaque, i would like you to join our cause we make a pretty good team ". Igor said to Zenobios.
Zenobios stopped and smiled at Igor and said: "i see, don't worry Igor, we are going to meet again very soon "
Then he left.
"You all felt that energy from him right"? Larmore said.
"It an energy similar to ours but different ". Barbara said.
"Indeed, which is why I drew an hypothesis, that he signed a contract with a devil just like us but a different one ". Seraph postulated.
"That is why I want him to join us, he is just like us, if he is with us we can easily find answers to our cause with his powers". Igor said.
Searching for all five_three of them of them who signed contract with Valier was their primary goal but Igor added a secondary goal to search for others who might have signed contract with a devil just like them and he has found one.
But something was making Igor feel quite uneasy, he saw something that made his suspicion of Zenobios rise.
'I would have sworn, no, i definitely saw it, i saw Zenobios take something from the dragons body when he landed on its back'.
'What did he take, why did he take it, what does he want to use what he took for '. Igor thought.
The others might not know but he was sure of it, the energy he felt from Zenobios was very similar to that of the hooded person.
Was Zenobios and the hooded fellow the same person or are they different people but got contract from the same devil? What ever the case may be, Zenobios is a person with suspicious activities surrounding him.
"Igor! Igor!! What in the world are you thinking about, why are you spacing out". Seraph called onto Igor.
"Hmm oh, it is nothing, I'm just thinking of what would have happened to the city if Zenobios wasn't here ". Igor said regaining his composure.
"Since this is settled let's go on continuing our task". Said Larmore.
