Kahl was laying on the beach when he suddenly saw that frightening creature fly throughout the sky and, after painting slowly some circles in the air, landing on the island right in front of him.
It wasn’t a Yoreiqi, it was too big, it just seemed some sort of beast, even if he hadn’t seen anything similar before.
But the thing that really frightened him wasn’t that strange beast that was flying there, but the other creature that was lying down on the beach. It was a Yoreiqi, there wasn’t any doubt, and even if it seemed to be one of them with wings, he wouldn’t be able to flee from that beast.
Quickly, without thinking about it for any second, he rose up and ran into the sea, starting swimming with all his energies to reach in time that poor creature and try to save her. Luckily, it wasn’t so far, with his abilities, he would be able to reach the beach in about ten minutes, but that was too much, the beast could make a lunch of her in less than a minute, he had to run.
Kahl never stopped for an instant, he swam to his limit without caring how painful it was for his chest and his arms.
Finally, when he was closer to the beach, he stopped to take a breath and started watching what was going on between the beast and the Yoreiqi. Now that he was closer, he could see that the situation was worse than he thought, since it was clear that the girl’s wing was badly broken and that she wouldn’t be able to fly away.
However, while getting closer trying not to be noticed from the beast, Kahl was very surprised about it and its behavior.
He hadn’t seen anything like that, but he had heard stories about creatures similar to that, they were called dragons and, from what he knows, they were all but kind and gentle. However, that dragon was different from those he had heard about, he didn’t seemed so ferocious, on the contrary, it was almost like it was it the one who was frightened.
He didn’t had any idea of what he could have done against a beast like that, he had only his knife with him, but deep in his heart he felt he won’t need to fight against him, those maroon eyes were inspiring confidence to him.
Suddenly, while he was getting closer to the girl with the broken wings, the dragon started saying something incomprehensible to him, leaving him speechless for a moment. How in the world was it possible that beast could talk?
But then, when he saw the girl crawling toward the dragon talking in the very same language he finally managed to recognize as Common, he remained so shocked that, without caring about anything else, he simply said in his Yoreiqi language, the only one he knew:
“Hey, what’s going on here?”.
