Part 1
Auren was feeling rather anxious right now.
It might be because he was tied up and being dragged across the desert by a group of masked individuals riding on monsters as if they were knights on top of their horses.
It might also be because he was lost in the middle of nowhere, with no idea of where his family or his friends were, and the last thing he remembers was being attacked by a huge dragon that was under the control of some weird white-haired man with orange eyes, and he could not stop worrying about whether they were okay or not.
It could also because his only current ally, Evlin, one of the most powerful mages he had ever met, was not doing a single thing to help the situation and was just letting the monster riders drag her over the sand as well while staring at the sky as if she was taking her time solving a math question.
