‘What?’ Madeline trembled when she heard Darryl’s reply and was stunned.
After a few seconds, she asked in disbelief, “You...You can communicate with the dragon?”
For thousands of years, dragons were known to be the most powerful creatures in the world and humans could only look up to them. It was unbelievable that Darryl was able to speak to a dragon.
“Of course. How else am I able to stand on its head?” Darryl grinned.
He wanted to tell Madeline the truth, but for some reason, he could not help teasing her after he saw her curious gaze.
“Oi! Since you can speak to the dragon, take it somewhere far away. Don’t stay here,” Cullen shouted at Darryl, recovering from his shock.
It was better if Cullen remained silent. Darryl had become inexplicably angry after hearing him speak.
In order to save his own life, it was extremely despicable for Cullen to use the rocks to trap Darryl with the dragon.
"I brought it here purposely to look for food. How can I just leave him?" Darryl said to Cullen, shaking his head.
Cullen's heart skipped a beat and he was flustered. "You...What do you mean?"
Darryl shrugged nonchalantly. "It's simple. Among the two of you, one will be the dragon’s food. Miss Madeline and I are friends, so let’s forget about her. So, only you will become the dragon’s food."
‘What?’ Cullen’s mind was buzzing and he was dumbfounded.
“Didn’t you say you can communicate with the dragon? Help me plead for mercy!” he shouted, his voice trembling.
“Why would I do that?” Darryl smiled indifferently.
‘You trapped me with rocks and left me to distract the dragon so you could flee from danger. But now that you’re in danger, you’re asking me to help you? How can something like that be possible?’ Darryl thought with a big grin on his face.
"Aren't you a capable person? Try communicating with the dragon later. Then, maybe, the dragon won’t eat you!" he teased Cullen.
Cullen gulped and almost cried. ‘How will I be able to talk to the dragon?’
