Ghosts in the night

In the middle of the night, Lin Fan flew into the sky on the back of Igneel.

Since this was a town that wasn't as developed, there were many empty spots for him to take off from.

From these spots, there wasn't a single person that noticed the large dragon that suddenly flew into the air. 

Igneel of course went too high for most people in the town to follow, it was only those experts that protected the town that might be able to find him, but it wasn't as if they were looking for Lin Fan and Igneel in the first place.

After leaving the town, Lin Fan headed off in the direction of the Winding Stream that was near the town.

Even before he landed, he found that there was indeed something strange happening near the stream.
