Threat

Two days later.

Morning.

The first rays of sunlight spread across the Grimwood Mountains, bathing the towering peaks in a warm golden glow. A cool morning breeze swept through the endless forest below, carrying with it the sounds of rustling leaves and distant rivers. Standing atop the mountain peak were Asher and his many vessels. Beside them stood the dragon, his massive figure towering over everyone else. The two sides remained silent for a while, simply enjoying the peaceful scenery.

After a few moments, one of Asher's vessels turned toward the dragon with a faint smile. "Well, it's time for me to leave now, so I guess this is goodbye for now." He stretched lazily before a mischievous smile appeared on his face. "Although... are you sure you don't want to introduce me to your family?"
