Dealing with the Slaves

"You can go now," Kaidros stood before the fellow humans that were enslaved. As he had released them, each of them had a lifeless expression. When they heard this, there was a hint of life in their eyes, looking at Kaidros.

They then looked at themselves and saw they weren't chained. Looking around and seeing the corpse of the old man, it was then it occurred to them that they were truly free, light sparkling in their eyes.

One of them moved forward. He was a burly middle-aged man. "I thank you on behalf of all of us for freeing us from this bondage," the burly middle-aged man said, while Kaidros nodded, waving his hand toward them, signaling that they should go.

"Hey, Kaidros, what are we going to do about you partially transforming into a dragon?" Drake said. "Some might have memories of that and might spread your identity, which you have exposed."

When Drake said this, it was then Kaidros realized that this was true.
