The drums of war resounded. Zuline and Jäwell left the room quickly to go outside. In the dark sky was a multitude of lights, Zuline's heart tightened realizing the angels had started the assault.
Jäwell's expression darkened, "It started."
Zuline went back inside immediately while Jäwell left to organize the positioning of the defenses. She joined Clyss and caressed his head to reassure him. The loud sounds outside were stressing him quite a lot.
"I need your help, Clyss, can you trust me?" She whispered to him tenderly.
The dragon looked at her, he would have followed her everywhere without hesitation and this is how she led him outside. The first time he saw the world, this one was on fire. The sound of explosions, the screams of people, and the smell of ashes were overwhelming. He took a step back and wanted to go back to the ballroom to hide. Zuline pressed her hand on his leg.
"I need you," she said firmly.
