Alaric rose to his feet and rushed towards the window.
He laughed excitedly when he saw the familiar figure circling above the sky.
"Zephyr! How did you come here on your own, buddy?" He jumped out of the window and landed on the ground.
Turning his head, he saw a group of warriors approaching. He gestured at them not to worry and to return to their posts.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the beast flying above the clouds swooped down and landed before him.
"Zephyr, I'm glad to see you." Alaric smiled as he walked forward to stroke the beast's fur.
The Draconic Lion emitted a faint sound as if to show its joy. It lowered its head and nudged him gently.
Alaric chuckled and stroked its head. He inspected the beast's body and noticed that its wounds had already healed. Only scars remained from the gruesome wounds it had suffered.
"You must have been bored out of your mind since I wasn't there."
