Jisung and Felix woke up sore and tired. But they had their kind to save so they got ready quickly, heading downstairs for a small breakfast. As they walked down, everyone turned to look at them, scanning their features.

"Is it me or are they staring?" Jisung whispered as they took their place in front of the counter.

"Something is wrong" Felix thought and readied himself.

A man approached them, he was tall, muscular, dangerous:

"Am I pheraps looking at Felix?"

"Who's asking?" the elf bit back, eyes  turning in two distrustful slits.

The man smirked:
"Someone who wants to get payed"

The fight started in a second and Felix barely had the time to take out his sword. Jisung, luckily was quicker, more trained and protected him from the first hits. Soon, they were fighting half of the people in the bar.

"Careful, don't kill them!" someone shouted.

"We can hurt them though right?" someone else answered.

Felix hit one on the head with his sword then turned to pull another away from him by his hair.

"Crystal!" his voice sounded desperate in his thoughts:
"We need you and Spark, we need to go away!"

He felt it in his bones when his dragon took flight.

"Head outside, outside!" he shouted to Jisung, who was handling himself more than well. He nodded.

They ran out, dealing blows left and right with their swords, already covered in blood. As they finally exited, the dragons landed behind them.

The men froze in front of the bar, looking at the two towering creatures. Their scales, their claws, their teeth. Spark had clouds of smoke rising from his jaws. Crystal roared and the crowd ran cowardly inside the bar, defeated.

Jisung walked to the front door, unafraid:
"Lix, look at this"

He showed him two pieces of paper, carefully attached to the doors of their old tavern:

"WANTED" they read.

"That's a lot of money..." Jisung said under his breath.

What was beneath was the most accurate drawing of Felix he had ever seen. Everything was perfect, from the shape of his ears, to his freckles to the deep blue of his eyes. Felix couldn't help but wonder if the prince had done it himself.
Jisung's was less accurate, but still insanely similar. Panic set in their heart. Felix read the rest, apparently they were to be taken to the palace "alive and unharmed". Probably to be imprisoned, tortured or the gods know what else.

"We need to leave now" Jisung said:
"But where to go? Nowhere is safe..."

Felix crumpled the two sheets and put them in his pocket:

"I might know a place"
