The larger red dragon stood up straight, its posture exuding curiosity and slight arrogance.
After all, although these humans that suddenly appeared were stronger than him, this was still his territory—or rather his father's.
Its voice, though tinged with the gravelly timbre characteristic of dragons, still carried a childlike innocence.
"Humans?" the larger dragon asked, tilting its head slightly. Its crimson scales glinted brilliantly as it looked at Kain and Serena.
"Yes," Kain replied. "We're part of the group that came to resc—ahem—assist the Elorians."
The larger dragon's eyes lit up, interest clearly sparked. "Assist the Elorians? Hmm... they've been quite useful to us. Will you be joining them?"
"Uhh… no. We plan to trade them for better servants for you all." Kain quickly clarified, lest this horrifying idea that they wanted to join the Elorians as slaves spread to the rest of the dragon colony.
