Daddy Issues

"T-that's not a wyvern, is it?"

Ackster stared at the source of the colossal shadow with disbelief. At Tararat's audible gulp, a spark of excitement found its way into his eyes. 

Ackster looked in the red dragon's direction. It was headed to the Council village.

"Perfect!"

Ackster had found something to make up for Tararat's lacking performance. It would also boost Kargas.

Ackster glanced at Tararat.

"You coming?"

He didn't wait for a response as he dashed forward, leaving behind a ravaged and bleeding wasteland.

There was no way Ackster could know why the dragon had decided to crash Kargas' party. But the reason didn't matter. As long as it was there, Ackster was confident he could fight it, either with or without Kargas. Just the thought had Ackster's spine trembling with danger alerts and excitement. A dragon would undoubtedly be Ackster's strongest foe yet. The Sword God excluded.
