I was gaining altitude and drooling in the reservoir to fill it. It was a great way to fly effortlessly. I could make a fortune building for other dragons... ah, if there were other dragons... I've never seen another one. Drakes yes, little things but things like me...

I feel lonely.

Ah, I see the sea in the distance.

And, downstairs, I saw formations of gryphons that had to look for me. probably to catch me!

Shit, the noise of the reactor....!!!!!

I have to kill them, no, I'll tire them out and hurt them.

Full throttle!

I went up to the top and it was really cold, -50°C

My armor was weighing me down but I was an airplane with my delta bar and my 2 pulso jets. I wasn't getting tired at all. I stuck my wing clamps on the bar and the membrane was used as a wing.

Oh, look how they're running out of breath!

Less and less air and less lift, I compensate by a speed increase, the cold, I am insensitive to it at a certain point and the scarcity of air allows me to accelerate even faster

I'm just within reach of their fireballs!! hahahaha

One of the griffins shoots and receives his own fireball,

I fly almost as fast as a magic missile!

the knights on their backs shoot and they can't believe their eyes that I go 6 times faster than a dragon and twice as fast as a griffin swallows the fastest beasts in the kingdom.

One of them shoots and I have time to see it coming and I do a spin move, like the fighters of World War II.

Then I go up in looping and find myself above them and I launch a lightning bolt which strikes 1 directly and 2 branches to the left and right.

The 3 canaries (griffins) smoke and dive down, the 2 others throwing themselves at them to help them to break the fall.

The discharge was not supposed to be fatal but a fall of 8000 feet is not forgiving because the speed increases in the fall and sticks or breaks the wing bone altogether and it is the sure twist fall.

I set off again at high altitude, well above the clouds and this white sea with the sun on my back tells me that I'm going to the northwest. and there I see the big sea!

Unbreakable in flight as they say......

But I don't flap my wings and I'm very high and very fast.

1/2 hour to get there at 600km/h and 2 hours to cross it

It is bordered by volcanoes and on the other side, on the horizon, I see mountain belts and volcanoes in activity thanks to the plume.

Great, maybe I'll meet some dragons and maybe some pretty female dragons? I hope they're sweet and not hot shrew.

Chronos:

"Lord Will, we got a report on the runaway: He shot three griffins at those who were supposed to intercept him. He had full flat armor and he made a pulsating noise.

Its speed was 6 times that of a dragon and twice that of a swallow griffin!

One of the riders died in the fall and one of the griffins had a broken wing. They're doing fine, the dragon would have retained its power...

We have no chance against this monster. It uses technologies that are beyond us

We have collected the pieces of bombs and weapons but the materials are unknown and use an unknown lightning energy. These weapons are at least 1000 years ahead of ours. He could have crushed us if he wanted to, but I think his objectives are not warlike.

We would be very lucky if it stayed that way, sire!"

Will:" I understand, I think the message is to learn to forgive yourself... If we want revenge or justice instead of the heart, misfortune will come upon us."

"How is Axula's treatment going?"

Chronos: "She has regained her sight, the shards are removed. It's miraculous, this magnetic stone"

They brought back on a Navarre cart in human form, his leg in tatters, the areas with splinters not oozing blood, because they had not closed.

Navarre was complaining, but Ezra turned around:

"This is all your fault! If you had protected them, we'd still be friends and Magestia and her daughter would be alive. And poor Robin too.

I think he made you pay for Robin's death mostly!"

Navarre: "Stop it, he was lying on a lying unicorn and it smelled like unicorn blood everywhere! How was I supposed to know it was to fill a bag and fake a unicorn death?

I arrived at the wrong place at the wrong time. I did my duty and that's it. It's the fault of bad luck! In the meantime, I'm the one who's tasting! You little brat, I swear I'll slit your throat."

Arrgh!

The cart passed over a rock that made the boards hit and hurt Navarre.

Ezra: "Wimp!"

GRoowl!

I see these coastlines and I am looking forward to a good meal........
