When he finally walked through it without getting hurt thanks to the golden shield around him, he saw a creature he had never seen before and who was standing in the center of this pillar of fire keeping the fire a few meters away from him.
This creature had its back to him, but Liam knew deep down that it was Ian, it could only be him.
He still had a human body but now he had black dragon-like wings that were the length of his body size, and at the base of his back was a long tail, which fluttered frantically from side to side.
Liam thought back to Kevin's advice and called him by the nickname he hated so much but that he was sure he was the only one to call him like this : "My little one ... It's me, it's Liam, I came to bring you back to our home."
Ian turned his head in his direction, his face impassible, and he could see that he had now two burgundy colored horns on each side of his head, and his eyes had turned completely black.
