Chapter 14: Darkan
Hearing the order to salute, Baines had no choice but to obey.
’They’re just arriving now?’ Baines blinked. Vole had spoken like they’d already arrived. ’Then, how did he know?’
Whoooosh...
From the skies, specks appeared, growing larger by the second until they became more visible.
About three-meter-long beasts with thick, red scaled hides and thundering wings, ridden by armored warriors.
Thud. Thud. Thud.
One by one, they landed. Dozens turned to hundreds, and hundreds to thousands.
The Darkan Family.
Just like any other family, their humble beginning as descendants of an ancient red dragon. However, as descendants, they were meant to be dragons, but they turned out to be humans. To remedy the dilemma, the ancestor gave his descendants other dragon eggs, in hopes to resolve the situation.
Instead, the family turned into a dragon-knight family. As the name went, they were specialized in fighting with dragons, meaning they were aerial based fighters. Along the way, they also became a power under the empire and earned two suns.
Two massive dragons landed in front of the gathering. These dragons were almost twice the size of the dragons that landed earlier.
