'Dragon's Grudge'

It...It almost feels like a dream.

The heroes and sidekicks who are gathered in this hall alongside me are not the same ones I knew before our battle. I am not the same.

As I stand here in front of you all, dear citizens...I tell you now that we are facing something the likes of which we've never encountered.

We arrived at the sight of the incident at Aldera Junior High and what we found was something I can only describe as an egg. Not even an hour after we arrived and got the civilians and students out of the way, it hatched, and out came...Something.

Calling it a dragon or even a wyvern would have been overly generous. It was roughly dragon shaped, what with its wings, tail and four legs. And yet it just...Wasn't. I-it was unlike any form of life I had ever seen. The silhouette of something familiar was there, but that was it.

None of us knew what it was that we were dealing with besides a problem. Especially once it began lunging at us, screaming and wailing in ways that I'll...I'll never forget.
