What Comes Next?

To them, it felt like an eternity had gone by, the pace of battle unrelenting, and their minds constantly forced into a state of high alert. But the reality was far from that.

In a fight that went like a rollercoaster, attacks from both sides threatening to take lives at a moment's notice, were a single mistake made; time had seemed to pass by so fast, yet only a few minutes ticked away.

This was both a good and a bad thing, in some sense.

With how short the battle had spanned, the risk of the dragon egg across the doors from them to hatch was low, but it came with its own downsides.

A significant one being that they were all spent.

Alex could tell all of them were running on fumes, aside from him. He could tell he wasn't at a hundred percent, but he still felt fresh enough to battle another pair of dragonkin.

The same couldn't be said for his companions.

Unfortunately, they didn't have the luxury of time to rest anymore.
