Soon, Arad returned with the scout to the capital and dropped them beside the lift. Hundreds of titans, including their military and royal guards, were gathered.
They had one question: "What in the nine hells was that?"
The scout explained what happened. How they were surrounded by the winged wolves, how Arad carried them all, and flew away. How he blasted a bloody hole into the mountainside, and how he did it a second time, sneezing an ancient horror into oblivion.
Arad's power was just unmatched.
A second later, Tyal, Alice, and Claug arrived and rushed at Arad. "What was that?" Tyal asked, and Arad pointed at the still-molten mountain in the distance.
"Just some wolves." He replied, and then something strange happened. Darkness seemed to writh from cracks of the chasm, crawl out toward the molten mountain side, chasing a tide of powerful monsters.
