An hour later, after finally feeling the Dragon fire settle into a steady hum within me, I stood up from the lair and made my way back to the chambers. The freezing air bit at my skin, but the fire inside kept me warm. As I approached the door, I could hear the sound of footsteps, hurried and anxious.
When I stepped inside, I found Lord Silas, Niko, and Talon pacing back and forth, their expressions tense. The moment they spotted me, they all froze.
Silas was the first to break the silence. "Cedric, what happened?" he asked, his voice tight with concern. His eyes scanned my face, searching for answers. Niko and Talon stood by their worry evident.
I took a deep breath, bracing myself to explain. "There was a power surge in my body," I began, still feeling the lingering warmth of the Dragon fire under my skin. "The Dragon fire became unstable, and I had to regain control before it could get worse."
