Fias laughs awkwardly, hastily drawing in his giant wings.
The burning flames that engulfed him slowly extinguished.
"Sorry, I was taken aback for a moment," he apologized. "The news you just shared was quite shocking..."
John grins, finding this fire dragon unexpectedly peaceful and docile, completely contrary to his initial expectations.
The innate arrogance typical of dragonkind is entirely absent in Fias.
John's face suddenly takes on a strange look.
He asks tentatively, "So... are you really a dragon?"
"Of course! I am the first fire dragon in the world and the progenitor of all fire dragons!" Fias retorts with a surge of anger when questioned about his lineage.
"Why do you doubt me?" Fias growls, clearly unhappy about John's suspicion. "You know so much about ancient secrets, so why question my identity?"
