And just like that, the unnamed
Ancient Blood Spear was passed to
Celestia. Yet as
Celestia flew toward the dragon, she would see the torrent of sandstorms that trailed behind it. In addition, the colossal dragon easily traversed the continent faster than beings far, far smaller.
For Alexios, the chance for the wind to die down did not come. The dragon continued to fly east – eventually crossing the Baal-Duru. He could witness the destruction in the trail of the dragon. Fortunately, it flew north of Thakath and spared it from destruction. Yet small
villages and farmland directly the beneath the dragon did not fare as well. The gusts of wind from its beating wings shredded the village’s buildings. At least for Alexios, the journey would soon end once the dragon reaches
Elbion.
The dragon seemed to still be in full health, though. The bleeding from its ear ceased already. In fact, compared to its body size it seemed to have barely bled at all. A crimson stain remained near the ear, though.
Fortunately for the Elbion expedition,
Zier displayed a possible way to keep pace with the dragon. However, it seemed as if only two people could join Zier on the journey.
Kara approached and declared, “
I’ll go.”
However, Maester Awano immediately dismissed this.
“No, you’re only a student,” Awano told Kara, “Professor Sitim and I will go. Maester Noa will take my place.”
Kara glared at Awano with a seething rage.
Maester Awano was the most senior mage here. Professor Sitim was a skilled elementalist and could hold his own with offensive magical spells. And Kara was barely two years into her studies. Even if Kara did something to force Awano’s hand, would Zier even allow her to go over a Maester or Professor?
If nothing was done by Zier or
Zarko, Zier would be accompanied by a Third Level Maester and professor back to Elbion.
Moments passed after Gerra touched the dragon’s blood.

The power in the blood remained. Still wet, fresh. Yet being coated thinly on a spear, it was at risk of drying.
For those familiar with using blood for magic, this would not mean the power within it would be gone. Especially since it came from a titanic dragon. Yet it would wane.
The longer they delayed action, the less power that would be available on the spear and the more damage
Drakormir will inflict upon Elbion.
