"Auremax, what's going on? What happened?" Ethan asked quickly, concern flashing across his face.
"Master," Auremax replied, his voice low and serious, "while the Gold Dragon patrol was making its rounds, they spotted someone approaching us. And not just anyone—it's a dragonkin! A Storm Dragon, to be exact. They're known as the 'Lone Champions,' an incredibly rare 14th-Tier Mythic Unit. In all these years, this is only the third time I've ever seen one…"
His golden eyes flickered with unease as he continued, "I don't know why they're here, or whether they're friend or foe… but they haven't attacked our patrol lines. They're just waiting quietly in the outer perimeter."
"Storm Dragons?" Ethan blinked in surprise, then broke into a grin. "Well then, let's go check it out!"
He had a pretty good idea what this was about. Clearly, this was the 'quest reward' finally showing up.
