Tough call

Over the next few days, a series of tremors shook the area, but they were notably distinct from previous ones. Unlike before, these tremors were brief and didn't increase the thickness of the dust clouds. Their sporadic nature raised some questions, particularly as they seemed to originate from multiple directions. Considering the source, Rain concluded that the magic and beast people were possibly engaged in battles, potentially against the dragons, given the ongoing tension between the factions.

"I can only imagine that the dragons are doing something big this time, but both sides are resisting despite having those barriers that benefit them," Rain said. "I don't think that they will be able to stop them and I also don't think that both sides will look for an alliance with us. Therefore, we should prepare to face the dragons in a single place, where we will have the upperhand."

"... Do you want to gather all of our forces in the capital again?" Branden asked.
