Returning Home [3]

At the secluded, heavily fortified entrance of the Dragon's Pit, two imposing figures stood side by side like immovable sentinels.

Ser Hughway, the Indestructible Sword, and Ser Damian, the First Dragon Knight, stood draped in their glorious, mirror-polished knightly armor.

Golden sunlight gleamed off their steel breastplates and silver pauldrons, catching the crisp wind that swept through the rocky canyon.

From the far horizon, three massive silhouettes broke through the clouds, their low-pitched, thunderous roars echoing across the valley walls and vibrating straight through the bedrock beneath the knights' boots.

Ever since their Lord Viscount had mounted Dark Sister's back and departed for the City of Dragons days ago, Ser Hughway and Ser Damian had worked tirelessly to ensure his vision for the Dragon's Pit was brought to flawless fruition.

Not a single second had been wasted.
