The fire devouring the forest stretched far into the distance, visible from every angle. Its orange glow illuminated the horizon like an imminent threat."What is that?" asked Chiro, pointing to a massive silhouette in the distant sky that was spewing flames toward the earth."What thing?" inquired Dall, stepping closer curiously."That," replied Chiro, gesturing toward the sky. "I’m not sure exactly, but it looks like a bird.""I don’t think it’s a bird," objected Dall thoughtfully. "Birds don’t look that big from this distance. They’d just be a dot in the sky, as you well know… That’s something much larger.""Let me see…" interjected Karpi, quickly pulling out her binoculars. She observed carefully, her face lighting up with astonishment. "A flying lizard? This is incredible!""What do you mean, flying lizard? Give them to me!" demanded Paris, snatching the binoculars from her hands. As she focused, her expression shifted to a mix of fear and awe. "This isn’t a flying lizard! It’s a

The shadow dragon Badogorfo was just about to tear Ron apart when, suddenly, something struck its face with devastating force. The blow was so powerful that the colossal dragon staggered, letting out a furious roar as it released Ron, who fell from a great height. The dragon was flung backward, disappearing among the trees.Ron felt the air rushing around him as he plummeted rapidly, but before he could even think about the impact, an enormous claw—more like a hand—caught him."Wha—? What happened?!" Ron exclaimed in astonishment, looking around in disbelief. The others, still on the ground, watched the scene in awe, unable to utter a word."Hello," said a youthful and friendly voice that resonated through the air."What… what are you?" Ron asked, his wide eyes gazing upward, his trembling voice blending wonder with fear. His body tensed as if every muscle was ready to flee or confront the unknown.The others shared the same question in their minds, but the words seemed stuck in their

Rykaru hurled the shadow dragon upward with all his might, ignoring the burns searing his skin from the heat radiating off Badogorfo. The pain was unbearable, but Rykaru didn’t yield an inch. His determination surpassed any physical limit. Immediately after, he spread his enormous white wings and began flapping them powerfully, rising swiftly to catch up with his enemy."Wow, I’m flying!" Rykaru exclaimed to himself, a mix of amazement and joy lighting up his face. "If my daddy could see me, it would make him so happy… But first, I need to finish off this enemy once and for all and rescue him," he told himself as he sped toward where Badogorfo was.From his elevated position, Urugas watched furiously as Rykaru had launched his beast into the skies."What did that cursed white dragon just do?!" he roared, frustrated that his entertainment of watching those below suffer had been ruined. "Alright, Badogorfo, listen to me: destroy that child dragon and continue my fun. Hit him with everyt

Mok and the group continued searching for the others, their urgency mounting as the place threatened to collapse around them."Maybe if we go this way…" Chiki said while touching something soft and squishy with his paw. Suddenly, a sudden movement caught his attention."What is it?" Rocky asked, looking up. His eyes widened in recognition. "It’s Ragil, Galatea’s daughter!"Ragil, with a radiant smile lighting up her face, looked at the little chihuahua with eyes full of tenderness. Without warning, she quickly leaned down and picked Chiki up in her arms, hugging him enthusiastically as if he were a precious stuffed toy."Oh! You’re so cute!" Ragil exclaimed, gently pressing him against her chest as she swayed him back and forth."Hello, pretty little doggy!" she cried out, not letting go of him for a second."Wait, wait! I’m not a pet!" Chiki protested, wriggling to try to free himself, though his efforts were futile against Ragil’s firm grip."Wait, wait! I’m not a toy! Put me down r

"Come on, boy, hurry up! There’s not much time! Your enemy has already launched a massive attack that, if you don’t stop it, will wipe out your friends… and not just them, but this entire place!" Doheart urged within Rykaru’s mind, conveying a mix of urgency and confidence.Meanwhile, Urugas, filled with malice, addressed his dragon: "Yes, my dragon! Finish them off with your powerful attack! Destroy those who are getting too cocky with you!" The enormous shadow dragon obeyed instantly, unleashing a devastating attack charged with the concentrated energy of its demonic eyes and lethal breath. It was a torrent of pure destruction, a roar of darkness that seemed to devour everything in its path.The attack was already heading toward where Rykaru and Paltio’s friends stood. The latter watched in horror, feeling fear run through their bodies as they saw the massive energy approaching. "I don’t think he can defend us from that," Luara murmured, visibly trembling. Mok nodded, unable to tear
