The Human Path

Chapter 33: Ascend

"The Raavi have no business in the Goliath desert." A Ship suddenly appeared over the horizon, two figures standing on the ship's bowsprit. The figure adorned in Gold Armor continued. "If you leave now, I will spare you the shame of having to run with your tail between your legs."

Ralf didn't bother to respond to that sly remark, instead he released a mental wave towards the ship to get a better look.

"A Draco Royal, that's unexpected." Ralf murmured, a nasty grin plastered across his face. He waved his hand and Sappa started to bleed from his nose and passed out. He then silently floated off the deck and turned to face the approaching ship.

"And what brings you here Draco youngling." Ralf's voice reverberated across the air and reached Rekim's ears. "Do you really think you can leave untouched, when you are this close to the Raavi border."

The 4th Prince, Rekim Draco, squinted his eyes and spoke. "Who are you?" Rekim didn't think any bigshot's would be at the small and unimportant Raavi border city.

"Ralf Arvo, of the Arvo Family." Ralf shouted, in a thundering voice. "Now how about you come down like a good lizard, so I can imprison you for violating Raavi territory."

Rekim started to sweat as soon as he heard the name, he clenched his teeth in anger.

'Why is he here?' Rekim thought. 'Does he know about the artifact?'

Uther, who was standing behind Rekim, silently whispered. "Your highness, we can still salvage this situation."

Rekim was brought out of his thoughts, without turning around he responded. "Speak"

Uther grinned, this was his moment. As long as the prince were to be captured, his task will be done, and he will retreat.

"Your highness, Ralf Arvo's last reported level was 47, and that was decades ago." He silently whispered. "Currently he should have reached Level 49, its highly unlikely he has broken through to level 50."

"As long as your highness can hold him off, I should be able to check the ship, for any sign of the artifact."

"Your highness should have that ability if you were to use the full capabilities of the Armor"

The ship came to a stop just a few hundred meters from the human ship.

"If you can't find the artifact, kill everyone on that ship. I don't want any information making its way to the Raavi." Rekim stated as he jumped into the air and wind gathered under his feet as he calmly floated.

The wind slowly brought Rekim closer to Ralf, who was also in the air. He stared back at Ralf with a merciless gaze and said. "I will show you the true power of a Draco, Vermin."

Lisandra who was just about to attack the Cloud Komodo was taken aback by the sudden arrival of the Draconian's.

"So this is the trouble you were talking about." Lisandra said. "It seems my job got a lot more complicated."

"Indeed it did Lady Lisandra." A voice suddenly appeared in her ears.

Lisandra's eyes widened as she turned her back, only to see that no one was there.

"Oh I'm right here dear lady."

Lisandra turned back to face the cloud Komodo, this time she saw the source of the voice. A young Draconian, with dark azure scales, and a Silver Armor with sizzling dark flames slowly dancing about.

"Uther Pendragon, at your service." Uther declared as two dark flaming swords appeared in his hands.

Lisandra looked at the young draconian, and could not remember his name. She was well aware of all the large family names of the Draco kingdom, she had fought half of them in her youth.
