Chương 85: Promise

Dune woke up, his whole body aching. His vision was blurry, and he could barely make out the flickering message in front of him: [Mi...o...n Com...p..ate].

He finally managed to open his eyes fully. He was in a dark space, with only a small hole in the wall providing a faint source of light.

As he tried to stand, he realized he was ankle-deep in liquid. Stumbling forward a few meters, he suddenly saw a huge, blue, shining eye open in front of him.

It was Zephyros's eye, and Dune could see his own reflection in it. Fear gripped him, and he fell back. Is Zephyros still alive?

The dragon lay motionless, its eye slowly opening and closing, clearly in its last moments.

Dune looked down and realized it wasn't water he was standing in, it was blood. Zephyros was losing too much blood.

Gathering his courage, Dune approached the dragon and tentatively touched its skin. As Dune touched Zephyros's scales, vivid visions surged through him.
