Eryke looked at the baby dragon, stunned for a moment:
"Do you really want to follow me? It'll be dangerous from here on out. You'll likely face terrible conditions, and your life may be in danger."
The baby dragon simply blinked, its eyes full of innocent curiosity.
"I see," Eryke murmured, closing his eyes.
"Let's go, Whale."
"Alright."
The whale slowly moved its massive body through the sky, tearing the air apart as it soared.
"Are we finally going to fight that Leviathan?" the dragon asked, a grin spreading across its face and excitement flashing in its eyes.
"Let's follow along. Sigh…"
The turtle let out a long, weary breath like an old man, then rose into the sky, levitating mid-air.
The dragon spread its enormous wings and launched into the air, whipping up a powerful gust of wind.
