Chapter 117: Ambush, Part 1

"They are on their way," a blond, male dragon told Dracon in the center of his village in the Dark Forest. It was late morning, but still early yet, and most of the dragon shifters were still sleeping peacefully in their tents and lean-tos.

"Who?" Dracon asked, suddenly on alert.

"Several knights of Cambria," the dragon replied, looking around to ensure that he had not been overheard.

"How many?"

"Five," the dragon replied, "but they are the finest knights in Cambria."

Dracon took a deep breath. "When will they arrive?"

The dragon took a deep breath. "It is difficult to say. They left early this morning."

"Do they come to attack?"

The blond dragon shook his head. "They are on a recruiting mission."

Dracon laughed. "Recruiting again?" He walked to the other side of the smoldering fire. "Well, I shall see that their numbers decrease, not increase."

"As you wish," the blond dragon replied.
