After the fight, Tarim joined his den with the other dragons. His mind was full of the events that happened and how he was surprised to be dominated in such a way. Tarim has always been the most powerful dragon of all, he could not imagine that some little human looking could have toyed with him. His heart was seeking revenge as much as he could feel some hint of respect for the young man who dared to ride the dragon's back.
On the other side of the castle, Talim had joined her council. She barely entered the room when the old men started to complain, "What was this demonstration of force?"
"What happened to Tarim?!"
"Why was the castle covered in flames?!"
"Why…" Another continued before she yelled, "Stop!"
They all looked at her with round eyes. Talim was always so kind and soft, she would never raise her voice this way, the men around the table suddenly went silent and listened to her as the situation sounded exceptional.
