Dying King

Far away from the city of Afurnae, a massive crater could be seen with a nearby mountain that appeared to be chipped off.

Laid at the center of the crater was the king of the Golden Dragon Kingdoms. His eyes opened wide before he gritted his teeth.

"Guha!" The king coughed out blood then he immediately took a slow inhale. His jaws were trembling and his golden luxurious wings already lost their splendor. 

His ears twitched. He heard footsteps. It was slow and calm footsteps, however as the sound got louder and louder, his thumping heart also beat furiously. 

(I have faced many foes) said the king as he got his upper body up by using his forearms. He felt incredibly weak and he could feel that his life was unsustainable. (But this man, and that elf-like woman, I've never seen nor heard someone that ridiculously strong).

"Incredible," said the king as blood leaked out of his mouth. 

"Hm?" Assid raised his eyebrows.
