As soon as Roderick received the distress signal, he gathered the remaining dragons and flew to the scene at his top speed. For their current family situation, the vessel was so important, they couldn't afford to lose it.
However, they should have known; had they known, none of them would have come. It took only ten minutes for it all to happen
Roderick cried deeply as he fled the scene with his scales covered in blood. He was the only survivor. They had lost the vessel, family members, and the red fang.
["Why"]
Roderick roared, his voice lost in the wind as he escaped.
He fled out of Darkan's territory.
...
When Roderick and his dragons arrived, they'd descended from the sky, expecting a coordinated assault. Instead, a lone figure stood on the ground, his aura suffocating.
They dove down from the sky to further assess the situation.
["Maroon!"] Roderick bellowed, recognizing the Maroon Marauders' leader.
