Eyes redder than lava and the sun, hair darker than the night a man wearing nobles clothing and gives off an intimidating aura.
"Who...?" The Beastfolk boy asked.
"You shot me, shouldn't I ask you that question", the dragon look like he was about to attack.
At instinct the boy jumped backwards and his two pets were beside him.
"Relax I'm not hurting anyone here", the dragon took off his clothes and showed his side stomach, there was a blood and a wound.
'by a mere arrow I was hurt, it's seems that the curse has gotten worse and much more effective', the dragon thought to himself.
The boy bowed slightly, introducing himself to the dragon" Xavier is my name", as he bowed the two beast bowed aswell.
"Alexander".
"Pleasure to meet you alexa-", before he said his name they heard a growling noise,in an instant he draw his bow looking around to know where the sound came from.
He looked at Alexander, unfazed Alexander was looking down and Xavier followed his eye and he saw Alexander's stomach grumbling.
"..."
"...."
"Ahh there's a tavern just a few meters from here, they have good food let's go there shall we".
Alexander nodded, Xavier rode his wolf beast while Alexander with a straight face ran, he was as fast as the wolf.
Arriving at the tavern, there was a sign saying 'Calissa's old tavern', they entered the waiter greeted them and showed them their seats.
Xavier raised his hand and ordered, the waiter took their order and left.
"So Alexander why is a dragon roaming around, people deemed you extinct".
Looking outside the window Alexander replied.
"A few problems occured, I woke up and decided to stay here for a while".
"Revenge?", Xavier asked.
Alexander looked Xavier in the eye his veins started to pop up from anger, but he calmed down.
"Here's your order", said the waiter.
As soon as the waiter left they ate, while eating Xavier bombarded Alexander with questions to which Alexander answered them Truthfully.
"Cool!!!", Xavier shouted, banging his hand on the table his tail was waggling.
"Say Alexander can I come with you?".
"Where?".
"Wherever you go, please?".
Alexander left a sigh, he showed a deep wounded scar behind his back"come with me and die or don't follow me and live".
"...."
"I'll still follow you, please!?".
Once again Alexander sigh but this time he nodded, Xavier smiled and celebrated.
"Sooo.... Where are you going next?".
"Land of Time".
The land of time, was a barren land it was a desert so to speak the reason it was called the land of time was because of its ancient past leaving a mark on humanity the once ancient city Xeves claimed the highest technological minds.
But the city vanished, some said the town was swiftly destroyed by a passing emerald hydra, a beast none can follow not even Alexander can take it on alone.
"Time to go", Alexander stood up and signaled Xavier to pay.
"Call your pets"
"Why?" Xavier asked.
"Call them".
"Aspen, lera!!!" Xavier shouted.
The two beast sprouted out of the forest, they came rushing beside Xavier, Alexander went closer to the griffin and sat on its back.
"Go"
The griffin was shivering at a mere aura and Xavier was panicking.
"What are you waiting for?, ride the wolf and let's go".
Xavier couldn't do anything but nod.
Along the road they were taking they passed by a carriage, it was strangely guarded by knights.
As they went closer Xavier and Alexander saw a fair lady by the side of the road, wearing fine jewels and extravagant dress.
"Halt, stay where you are and identify yourselves", exclaimed by a bearded old knight.
To which Xavier replied "we are just travelers, we mean no harm".
"Alright then pass along".
"Uhmm do you need hel-", before Xavier finished his words, Alexander grabbed and slapped his face.
"I don't have time for extra filler arcs!", Alexander shouted.
Xavier nodded and they continued, leaving the carriage by the side of the road.
They arrived at the desert, it was night time so it was freezing cold the gushing wind would smack they're faces every minute.
Alexander would occasionally create fire, but it didn't last long, Xavier conjured a stone wall and built four walls surrounding them.
'ohhh! A beast tamer and a earth conjurer', Alexander thought, "lets rest for the night".
They slept soundly that night, the next morning waking up Xavier was covered in sweat after waking up.
But Alexander was not he was used to the heat, Xavier took down the walls and they continued they're way through the desert.
Looking beyond, the wide desert ruins were seen in the distant they approached them to see what Alexander was looking for.
