Nox gritted his teeth, feeling a rush of cold wind on his face. They were currently flying above a canyon with a river that seemed to be frozen. Below, some people—whom Nox presumed to be Awakened because of their armor—were pointing and waving with shocked expressions on their faces.
"Holy shit! Are we tripping or what? Was that really a dragon?" one burly man said, rubbing his eyes in disbelief.
Another one pinched himself, not only to convince himself that he was awake but also to snap himself out of his daze. "It's real! I thought those things didn't exist!"
"You fool! I heard they exist, but they're just far away... And I heard it's very difficult to claim one as a mount."
"Forget claiming it as a mount! Just seeing one is a miracle!" another man, clad in heavy armor, exclaimed, his voice barely concealing his excitement and fear.
