I laughed watching the two dragons playing together. I heard footsteps and looked around. Someone from the village popped their heads out.

"It's him! The guy with the rock those men want!" He yelled and other villagers soon followed. I grabbed my knife from my pocket and Reath hid behind me.

"Take Ruby and go!" I called to Kia." the town is up ahead! Take Ruby and find your friend!" I continued, bracing myself as the men got closer. "I can hold them back until you find your friend!"
