Nix dismounted and carefully made his way up the rocky incline to the top of the ridge. He had spent the past few hours searching Blacksmith Zane. Unfortunately, his hud map only helped him find the general area. A loud stomping followed by an enraged whinnying sound caused him to turn back to where he'd left Nightmare. After seeing nothing, he returned to his mount.
"Seriously... Are the noobs in Everspire stupid?" Nix shook his head in disbelief and started searching the bodies. It marked the second time in the past hour that someone had attempted to steal Nightmare, this time there were two corpses.
Nightmare pushed his back with her soft nose.
"It's a bit funny, though. I step away and leave you unattended. It's almost like I'm daring them." Nix chuckled and swung into the saddle. "I may have to get you more dragon blood."
Thanks for reading. Like I said last chapter, single releases until the weekend. Tests and projects due all week. Thanks for the support.
