Continuing the last chapter.
Argus successfully recruited Valhein The Demon Hunter, but it didn't go so smoothly. After bringing him to the castle, Argus is tasked to recruit Krixi The Flowerchild.

Argus: So I need to head west to the Pixie Forest ? Anything else you have to tell me ?

Thane: Take this. (hands out a small pouch)

Argus: What's this ?

Thane: It's a lure to make Krixi go out of hiding. She is one sneaky fellow.

Argus: So... How do I use it ?

Thane: When you reach the forest, find the huge tree in the middle of the forest. Spread some of the lure on the tree trunk and wait for her to come.

Argus: OK, anything else you need to tell me before I go ?

Thane: Nothing in particular.

Argus: Guess I'm off.

As Argus went off, he met Zanis by the hallway.

Argus: Hey.

Zanis: Greetings. Where are you going  Argus ?

Argus: I'm going to recruit our last team for the fight.

Zanis: Is it Krixi ?

Argus: Yeah, wanna join me ?

Zanis: Gladly.

As Argus and Zanis went to the Pixie Forest, Thane keeps thinking that he forgot about something.

Thane: I gave him the lure, what did forget ?

(2 days later)

As they are reaching the Pixie Forest, Zanis readies his spear and got into his stance.

Argus: Dude, what's going on ?

Zanis: The Forest Guardian, he's here.

A giant dragon flew down from the sky and hovers above the ground. They stared at each others eye for a long time until the dragon decides to speak.

???: What is your purpose here, speak

???: What is your purpose here, speak.

Argus: I am here to see Krixi The Flowerchild.

Zanis: We need her help to fight Maloch and his army.

???: You shall not harm The Flowerchild. For I, Rhaegal shall protect her !!!

Argus: Why must everything ends with a fight... (draws his sword)

Zanis: I could not agree more. (readies his spear)

Rhaegal roars and started to beat his wings violently and stuns the both of them. Zanis runs into the dragon and spun his spear, scarring the dragon pretty badly. Rhaegal flew higher into the sky and shoots thunderbolts from his mouth. Zanis dodges but Argus got hit and it puts him on his knees.
