Chapter 96 - Chapter 98 (1/2)

On the dangerous and narrow mountain path, a very tall man was walking with no visible fear or hesitation. He was nearing the tallest mountain in this entire mountain chain.

Dragon had been walking on this path for a few hours, but nothing too exciting had happened. A small portion of the path, breaking apart. That was about the most exciting thing that happened on his journey.

He finally arrived at the spot after another thirty minutes. At this point, the path divided into two directions. One would lead you to pass this mountain, and the second one would take you up the mountainside. And Dragon's goal was the top of this mountain so he chose the second path without any hesitation.

He started walking up and immediately he could feel that the air was different on this mountain. And he felt a powerful presence at the top.

A while later, he had finally reached the top of this mountain. The path leading up the mountain didn't lead to the highest plateau. So Dragon had to jump, and with the help of air bending, he flew up at great speed and landed on the top plateau.

”Well hello there.” As he landed he immediately felt a gaze lock on to him. So he greeted the lord of this mountain.

At the centre of this plateau, there was an eagle sitting on guard and watching Dragon. It was massive in size and it had a natural arrogance about it. Dragon inspected it from where he stood, and he was sure it had to be at least twenty-five meters in height. And its wingspan was maybe between twenty or thirty meters.

Its entire body was angelic white in colour. It had eyes that glowed with a sharp silverish light. And inside its eyes was a spark of intelligence, letting you know this wasn't a normal eagle in any way.

”This might be a stupid question, but do you speak?” Dragon asked with not much hope for a response. But to his surprise, the eagle shook its head as if it could understand him.

”Do you understand me?” He immediately grew excited about the revelation.

The eagle nodded and screamed loudly like he was establishing his dominance.

”Tone it down, that's too loud!” Dragon pointed at the eagle and said in a stern voice.

What he got back was just another even louder scream. And the giant bird also spread its wings while screaming. They were massive and the intimidation level that the eagle had, shot through the roof. Now it looked like an apex predator staring down its prey.

”You get only one more chance to calm down. Or this will turn ugly.” Dragon said and glared at the bird.

The eagle didn't listen and it started to move its wings. And Dragon looked around shocked at the power behind each wing flap. The winds started turning violent and trying to push him off the mountain.

”Oh no, think again.” Dragon waved his hand lightly against the Eagle. And so the eagle's and Dragon's winds collided with each other, and it caused a little outburst that struck both of them.
