"That dragon is my daughter."
James' words managed to surprise everyone again, it was clear that no one had expected such an answer.
"But you're... human, aren't you?" Eve suddenly questioned.
"Yes, I am human. My daughter is a dragon, she took on my and her mother's traits when she hatched, and that's how she became our daughter," James replied.
Everyone chose to keep their mouths shut, even though they were quite surprised.
With that, the day was over and the sun had set, giving everyone enough time to rest, knowing that all the fighting would stop for at least a few hours.
The hours passed, and everyone managed to find time to rest. After half a day, everything was completely different on Ariel's side.

"KUAGH!!!"
Ariel was dragged several metres through the air after the blow and fell to the ground.
