Reign hovered down, his wings creating a gentle downdraft that scattered the sand below.
As his feet touched the ground, he noticed a deep, long dent in it, as if something massive had hovered down, causing the sand to part like a plane passing by.
The disturbed sand and the pattern of the drag marks indicated that a large flying object had passed here recently.
"That thing is moving fast to make this big of a mark," he muttered.
By measuring the width of the shifted sand, he tried to estimate its speed and size.
Next, he flew in the direction where the marks ended, noticing the disturbed sand area was much larger.
This meant the creature had flown higher, needing more power to increase altitude. It was safe to assume it had large wings to carry its own weight.
As all the variables came together, Reign's first thought was of a winged lizard, or as it was known in his old world, a dragon.
