Cade turned to face the newly-discovered dragon kin, meeting the suffocating flame aura head-on with a determined unwavering gaze.
The latent dragon had been in the presence of many dragons with powerful flame cores all his life, making him one of the only few people in the room at that moment that could speak to the dragon kin without squeaking, flinching or worse, suddenly bowing their heads in submission.
"Oh? And what might that be?" Shawn asked with an edge in his voice.
Bright golden eyes with thin slits stared at Cade. Despite Cade being bigger and taller, Shawn seemed more ferocious than him and after watching the short dragon kin frighten a hydra, no one viewed his small stature as an obstacle.
Still… Caden couldn't ignore him. This hunter just rubbed him the wrong way. It was as though Shawn Fiore was intentionally taunting him… asking for a challenge.
