Halt had felt the presence of the larger dragon behind him and in the sun. He had barely heard the man’s yell for what his business was. He was about to answer till he felt the presence of the smaller dragon. Though the dragon was fast, it did not alarm him. But that there was a woman as the rider, that was surprising.

Though both dragons were higher up and on either side of him, Halt still did not grow worried. He simply replied to both riders by touching their minds. “ Bold? I wouldn’t say that…” Klassh looked up to him and said privately to him, “Now you’ve done it…”

Halt only smiled and then said, “From your sentence my lady I can already tell that you two do not know each other…Which is only a small relief. “

Klassh’s blue scales sparkled in the sunlight, and he continued. “ I only wished to see my opponent if they were hostile. But it does seem I am in a bad position doesn’t it? Stuck between a smaller and faster dragon, and a larger and maybe more powerful dragon…” He said sarcastically. “If you two are stupid enough to ally with the king, then I must say to get on with it and try and defeat me.”
