He nodded. “Yes. It moves too fast for a dragon. It moves too fast it seems like he vanishes…” he said, then rose from the ground. “I faced it before. That’s why I’ll be the one to face it.” he said.

“Wait, wait… wait!” Rio protested. “I’m so against that!” she said, her glow bright red. She’s frowning at Oril.

“Don’t be so worrywart.” Oril said, frowning, too. “I won’t die. You forgot I am a hero.” He told her.

“’was’ a hero.” Rio corrected.

Oril shut up.

“How many years has it been since you’ve last fought dangerously?” Rio asked. “And lest, a dragon…?” she said, then helplessly sighed. She placed her hands on Oril’s shoulders. “You don’t have to bear this alone….” she told him and hugged him. “We’re here. We’re your friends, right?” she asked. “We are your allies.” She said.
