Dungeons and Drakons (Part X)

Erid finally took off, but not before looking back at Fenrar. Fenrar met his eyes with a steely gaze. As Erid flew away, he knew what was going to happen, even before he heard the gunshot. As he flew, tears streamed down his face like rain, falling on the land below.

Drakons are fast creatures. Within minutes, the herd was far from the castle dungeon, but not quite out of the kingdom yet. Erid would not rest until he was out of the kingdom, free from Lord Evant, free from the king, free from the carnage, free from the place where his best friend had died.

He knew he might die, but dying didn't bother him so much anymore.
