Whoosh, whoosh. Felina flapped her wings lightly and descended gradually. A few seconds later, there was a thud. She landed beside the soldiers.
"Alert… Wait!" Celine saw Link on the dragon's back.
The moment before, her lips were pursed and her brows furrowed. She gripped the fire gun, eyes looking left and right in solemn caution. It was as if she was about to face a storm. But now, a smile bloomed like clear skies after rain.
Dorias roared happily and jumped towards Link. When he was closer, the big tiger laughed. "Link, look, look, I kept your girl safe. She didn't get hurt at all."
He circled around Link, but he was a bit hobbled. Link noticed that there was a long scorch mark on Dorias' right hind leg. The wound was very deep, and even the muscles had been torn. Link realized immediately that it was caused by a demon, most likely a Fodor Flaming Demon.
Link's temple pulsed. Now he knew why Celine was so tense earlier.
