The journey through the Dradinite Province had been relentless for Hazy, Sam, and Fiv. The quartet had faced formidable challenges, conquering wether beasts and dragon daemons, their bodies and minds pushed to their limits. As they returned from hours of tracking and hunting wolf-like daemons, the trio bore the marks of their struggles – dirt-covered clothes, slight bruises, and a sheen of blood from their hard-fought battles.
Exhausted yet resilient, they made their way toward their chambers within the heart of the Dragon Citadel. The ancient structure loomed overhead, its dragon symbols seeming to observe their triumphant return. Captain Ironscale, waiting at the entrance, greeted them with a nod of acknowledgment.
"Your prowess in battle today was commendable. The province is safer with each daemon you eliminate," Captain Ironscale praised, his eyes reflecting a mixture of gratitude and respect.
