This is based on the Episode: Broken Bonds
Bonds of Wind part 1
The Penn Racing crew race back to Penn Stables and went down into Old City, to see if Mortis had found anything about Zephyrox. They explained what happened with the Inner Order crew then about Zephyrox to Mortis.
((Michelle's POV))
"...So, Mortis... Did you find anything about Zephyrox?" Kitt asked.
"Yes, I have..." Mortis begins to explains, "Zephyrox, the King of White Draconium Dragons, is an extremely dangerous dragon. Like white draconium Sky Class dragons, Zephyrox is part flying squirrel, part hang-glider and all about taking risk. Difficult to control when there's extreme action to be had, you better work with this dragon or he'll shake you right off his back. He is more dangerous than the ones you've all faced and defeated before."
"Um... Mortis? Who's the descendant of Zephyrox?" I asked.
Mortis then sighs, "That's thing I haven't found out yet... However, I know he or she is in another crew, The Dragon Winds."
Parmon then asks, "The Dragon Winds? You mean the most reckless crew in Dragon City? Who only care about going higher than winning and have a leader who's in the Academy now?"
"Yes, their leader, Chute, made it into the Academy with her dragon, Twister. However, since her dragon had gotten a bit big and dangerous for everyone, she uses her new dragon, Turbulence." Mortis explained.
"Chute? I remember... She's one of the best racers of her crew and the most reckless person we all heard of so far." Kitt spoke. "Besides, Michelle here."
Michelle glares a little at Kitt, "Hey! At least I I don't do heights! ...Not my thing."
Leapdra just snorted at me.
Lance suddenly looked trouble and Mortis notices it "Is there something troubling you, Lance?"
"Well... when Zilias was controlled by the bonemark, she said I should check on my friend before he does something stupid."
"Uh... Which friend?" Parmon asked as he looked at us while I rolled my eyes at him.
"I think she meant Spratt." Lance replied with concerns.
I looked confused, "Spratt? Who's he?"
Artha explains to me, "He's a friend of Lance and they hang out with each other... Well, at least they used to."
"Used to?" I repeated.
Lance looks down, "Well... I haven't been hanging out with Spratt since Artha started racing and I...never thought about Spratt."
I sigh at Lance, "Oh, Lance... How could you forget about one of your friends? I'm sure he's very hurt and wondering what happened to you."
"Y'know... I got a bad feeling about Spratt for some reason." Parmon spoke.
"For once, I agree with ya." I muttered.
Our dragons were also talking. {Lance isn't the only one who hadn't spent with his friend... I haven't spent time with Spratt's dragon, Bumpyr.} Fracshun groaned.
{Now, you mention, it has been a long time since you two last saw them.} Beau spoke to Fracshun.
{Just how could you and Lance forget about your friends?} Leapdra snorted.
{I guess the racing and saving Dragon City have been clouding our minds} Fracshun squeaked.
"Look. Let's just check on Spratt and see if he and dragon are okay." Kitt suggested.
"I'm afraid it's late and Spratt is probably in bed right now..." Mortis spoke. "You all will have to check on him in the morning." after that Mortis left.
I sigh as I turn to the Penn brothers, "I guess we'll just have to see Spratt in the morning... However..."
"However what?" Penn brother looked confused.
"Tomorrow is when the race starts." I pointed.
"She's right!" Kitt exclaimed.
"And we can't miss the race, Artha! If we do, you'll never make it into the Academy." Parmon pointed out.
Artha sighs, "So what can we do?"
"We can check on Spratt early in the morning before the race starts." I suggested. The others agreed with me then we all went back up to the stables to rest for tomorrow.
((Normal POV))
Unknown to the Penn Racing crew, Spratt and his dragon, Bumpyr, were out at night for a walk near their home. The two were on their way home, thinking about Lance and Fracshun.
Spratt groaned with frustration and hurt. Ever since Artha started to race, Lance has been too busying spending time his crew than with Spratt. It made Spratt feel left out. He thought Lance was thinking that he's too good to hang out with him. "I can't believe him! We've been friends for how long... And he hasn't seen me or told me about anything!"
Bumpyr agrees with his rider by grunting and snorting, {I know how you feel! I haven't heard from Fracshun at all!} even though he knew Spratt couldn't understand.
"Y'know, Bumpyr... if we had our own crew, a better crew, I bet Lance would feel sorry for leaving us like this." Spratt spoke. "Like the Dragon Winds crew! They're so much cooler than Lance's crew. Maybe we can join Chute's crew."
Bumpyr nods at Spratt, {Yeah! I always wanted to meet Turbulence. Maybe, I might meet Twister as well.} suddenly he smelt something nearby. {What was that?} then walks up to a rubble near an ally. Bumpyr sniffs the rubble.
"What is it, boy?" Spratt asked his dragon.
Bumpyr moves the rubble aside with his claws then sees a box with white marks on it. {Whoa! What is that?} he mags the box to hand it to Spratt.
Spratt grabs the box then examines it, "...What a cool looking box! I wonder what's in it?" he stares at it then shrugs, "Probably just some junk, but who knows... Maybe it has something."
Bumpyr gives Spratt the look maybe then continues to walk back to their home, not knowing the box they found was a map to the temple of the Zephyrox.
Next morning, the Penn Racing crew was racing through the streets towards Spratt's home.
((Michelle's POV))
We all race through streets, heading towards Spratt and hoping he's still at his house. It took about few minutes to find Spratt's home and we all jump off of our dragons to see if he's home. However, we found out from Spratt's mom that he and his dragon had already left to see the race earlier. We've thanked his mom and went our way to the racing track.
Moments later at the racing track, me, Kitt, Artha, and our dragons were getting ready for race while Parmon and Lance try to find Spratt.
Artha then sighs, "I hope Parm and Lance found Spratt..."
"Artha, I'm sure Spratt is okay. He's probably just upset about Lance for not spending time with him..." Kitt tried to reassure him.
Then I spoke, "Besides, who knows where he is. Maybe he's just wants to see Lance."
Artha's com-link beeps. It was Parmon and Lance. "Artha, we looked everywhere and still haven't seen him!" Parmon told him.
"What are we gonna do?" Lance spoke with worry in his voice.
"Everyone, calm down!" I exclaimed. "I'm sure he's nearby. We'll just to try again later... The race is about to start in a few minutes."
Few minutes later, as we stop at the starting line, Race Marshall Budge makes his announcement...
"Good day, racers! Today is a very special day! We have a special guest today! You've heard of her and know her crew as the most reckless, daring crew ever... She's now in the Academy and visiting us today... The leader of the Dragon Winds, Chute and her dragon, Turbulence!"
The crowd from the audience stands cheer out loud as Chute and Turbulence walk in front of the racing track. Every racers gaped and feel amaze to see the leader of the Dragon Wind. "Whoa! I don't believe it! It's her, Chute!" Artha exclaimed with excitement.
{Wow! Isn't that her new dragon Turbulence? He looks so cool!} Beau grunted with amazement.
"I didn't know she was gonna be here today!" Kitt exclaimed.
"Guys! This might be the chance to tell her about Zephyrox." I reminded them.
Chute then spots me and Leapdra, "Well, if isn't Michelle Sean and Leapdra!" she and Turbulence walk over to us. "I haven't seen you two since last year."
I chuckle at her, "Likewise."
{Leapdra, how's things?} Turbulence smiled at Leapdra.
{Oh... Here and there.} Leapdra snorted.
Artha, Kitt and their dragons looked shocked. "Michelle, you know her?" Kitt asked.
"Kinda... I met her when the scouts showed me the Academy and gave me the tour. That's when I met her." I explained.
"How come you never told us?" Artha asked.
I shrug, "You didn't ask." My friends just groan at me. I look back at Chute, "There's we should tell you about..."
Race Marshall Budge interrupts, "The race is about to begin!"
"Tell me after the race, Michelle. I'll be at the stands to watch it." Chute told me then she and Turbulence walks over to the stands.
We all get ready to race the track light up red, yellow, then green. The race begins!
((Normal POV))
During the race, Spratt and Bumpyr were watching the race from tents on the screens. The reason Spratt and Bumpyr came to the race is to meet Chute and Turbulence and hoping to ask them if they can join the Dragon Wind crew. The two then spot Chute and Turbulence when the screen showed them. Feeling excited, Spratt decides to ask Chute after the race is over. ((A/N: Fast forward to the end of the race!)) After the race, Spratt and Bumpyr went over to Chute and Turbulence with nervous and excitement.
Spratt stops then looks at Bumpyr with a nervous look on his face, "I don't think can do this!"
Bumpyr snorts, {This is our chance! Get going!} Then pushes his rider towards Chute and Turbulence.
"Uh... Hi!" Spratt squeaked.
Chute turns back and sees Spratt and Bumpyr, "Well, hi there, little guy! Is there something I can do for ya?"
Spratt looks down at first then looks back at Chute, "Well, I'm Spratt and this my dragon, Bumpyr. Um... I was wondering if me and my dragon could join your crew?"
"Join my crew? Why?" Chute had to ask. To her there must be a reason why a little kid would want to join her crew.
"Well... my friend just left me since he joined his brother's crew and hasn't seen or talked to me since... And I always wanted to join your crew long before! You guys have such great skills and I really want to join a better crew than Lance's." Spratt explained. "So, can we? Please?"
{Yeah, please?} Bumpyr plead.
Chute looked at Turbulence while Turbulence glances at her. Chute sighs then frowns at Spratt, "Sorry, little man... But, I'm afraid you and your dragon can't join our crew."
"What? Why? I mean, most kids and little dragons get to join some crews! Why can we?" Spratt cried as Bumpyr whined.
"Because Spratt, this crew is too dangerous for a kid like you and your dragon." Chute gave a reason. Well, a weak reason. "Maybe next time when you're older." then walks away from Spratt and Bumpyr with Turbulence by her side.
Spratt felt he was gonna cry then runs off with Bumpyr in pursuit.
((Michelle's POV))
After the race, me and my friends went to look for Chute and Turbulence and found them walking towards us.
"Chute! There you are! Where were you?" Michelle asked.
Chute scratches her head, "Nothing much, just taking care a few things, now... What were you going to tell me?"
"Well... we think your crew is in grave danger." Michelle told Chute.
"Danger? How?" Chute asked with confusions.
Artha explains about the 12 Warrior Dragons and what happened before, "...And so far, only three have appeared and Dragon Booster managed to defeat them. Now, another Warrior Dragon, Zephyrox is next."
"And Zephyrox is the King of Sky Class Dragons and he'll go after the dragons of your crew." Kitt added.
Chute looked worried then spoke, "This is worse than tornadoes... Do you guys know which dragon is the descendant of Zephyrox?"
"Sadly, no... But it might be your first dragon, Twister or Turbulence." Parmon told her.
"Well, both of them are hard to tame, but Twister is at the Academy and Turbulence is the one I ride now since Twister has gotten bigger." Chute explained.
"Don't worry. Parmon here will research the heritage of your two dragons." Michelle spoke. "We'll send ya the info when we find it."
Chute nods at her, "I'm sure your crew can do it. And speaking of crew, as long as I'm here, I better visit some of my crew. They probably can't wait to see me." Turbulence mags Chute then runs off.
"Come on, you guys! We've got some research to do..." Artha spoke as he sighed at the last part.
"But what about Spratt? We still haven't found him!" Lance cried.
I put my hand on his shoulder to comfort him, "I'm sure he's alright... Just try sending him a message. I'm sure that will make him happy."
((Normal POV))
Meanwhile with Spratt and Bumpyr, the two stop near a store with gear in it. They look through the window to see them then sighed. "It's not fair, Bumpyr... Every kid gets to join a crew, but me!" he kicks a rock with fury. Then walks to the pack on Bumpyr and takes the map, "Even with this, it didn't help... If only there was some way to prove to Chute that we can be better than any of those racers!"
Bumpyr snorts, {Yeah, but how?}
Unknown to them, Moordryd was watching from the ally. He was just taking a walk to find the map of Zephyrox, but then sees Spratt and Bumpyr...with that very same map. He heard what Spratt said about looking for a way to prove to Chute that he's better than any racer. It made Moordryd form an evil plan. He steps out from the shadow, "There is a way and it's under your nose."
Spratt and Bumpyr jump a bit from Moordryd's voice and see him walking towards them. Bumpyr lets out growl at the leader of the Dragon Eye crew, protecting his rider and making Moordryd stop a few feet away from them.
"What do you want? A-And what you mean?" Spratt stuttered, trying to act brave.
"What I mean is the only way to prove to Chute that you're good enough to join her crew is use that map you're holding." Moordryd pointed at the map.
Spratt looks at the map, "...This is a map? It doesn't even look like a map!"
"Not now anyway, but once you push that button there..." Moordryd points at the dark white button on the map, "...it will form into a map and take you to a b-, I mean, a powerful gear to make you and your dragon stronger."
Spratt stares at Moordryd then at the map, "So, if I push the button, it will turn into a map and show me the way to a powerful gear?"
"Of course! Unless... you're scared." Moordryd mocked.
"I'm not scared!" Spratt exclaimed.
"Then push that button and let it show you the way to your destiny..." Moordryd turns away from Spratt, "...Though it will be difficult for a kid like you to handle, but it's your choice... your only choice if you want to join the Dragon Winds crew." after that, he walks away while smiling evilly.
Spratt looks at the button. He has a feeling something is gonna happen later on, but chooses to ignore it and slowly pushes the button. The box opens up, revealing a dark white map with a hand print on it. The map's aura was pulling Spratt in to put his hand on the print. Spratt felt scared, but he really wanted to join the Dragon Winds crew and puts his hand on the hand print. The map's energy suddenly surges through his body as it took control of him. Spratt then lets out a painful scream as it takes over him...
At the same time with the Penn Racing crew...
((Michelle's POV))
We were all sitting in Beau's stable while Parmon was looking up the heritage of Twister first.
Kitt sighs with impatience, "Anything yet, professor?"
"Nothing at all... It seems Twister has no connection to Zephyrox." Parmon told us as he read the info of Twister. "Which means Twister is not the descendant of the King of the Sky Class Dragons."
"I wouldn't be surprise about that..." I spoke.
Artha stares at with confusions, "Why do you say that?"
"Well... Twister really isn't difficult for Chute to control at all..." I told my friends. "However, Turbulence has been giving Chute some trouble for some time."
"Well, then... I'll quickly look up the heritage of Turbulence!" Parmon went back to his computer again.
Suddenly, Lance groans with concern, "He still isn't answering!" he's been calling Spratt five times. "I've been trying to call him, but he hasn't answered his com-link once...!"
Fracshun squealed with distress, {Why isn't Spratt answering?} Leapdra nuzzles Fracshun to comfort him.
"Don't worry, Lance... Maybe he's busy at the moment." Artha tried to reassure his little brother, but it didn't work.
"I found it!" Parmon cried.
We all look at Parmon. "What did you find Parm?" Artha asked.
Parmon reads the info again, "Oh dear... It seems Turbulence is the descendant of Zephyrox! Turbulence maybe a great dragon for Chute, but he's sometimes difficult to control."
"We've better tell Chute about this." Kitt suggested.
"I'll call her..." I spoke then contact Chute on my com-link, "Chute, come in! It's Michelle! We've found out Turbulence is the descendant of the King of the Sky Class Dragons."
Chute answers back, "Great work! At least my crew and I know about it and I told them to be on guard for anything strange." Chute sounded like she was bothered by something.
"Chute? Is something wrong? You sound like something's bothering you..." I asked.
Chute sighs, "...Well, a little kid asked me if he can join my crew, but I gave him a weak reason and I kinda feel bad about it..."
"What kind of a weak reason?" Artha asked.
"...I told him he's too little and it's too dangerous for a kid to join my instead of saying that his friend made a mistake, but would never completely forget about him and try to talk to him..." Chute explained.
Suddenly, we had a funny feeling about the 'kid' Chute mentioned. "Uh... Chute? What is the kid's name?"
"Um... Spratt." Chute answered. "Why?"
We all look at each other flabbergasted. "Chute, where is Spratt now?" Lance asked.
"Don't know. Last time I saw him was at the tracks." Chute told him. "Why? Has he done something wrong?"
"We fear Spratt might do something dangerous since Lance forgot to contact him and after hearing your weak reason, he might do something stupid!" I exclaimed.
Then Kitt spoke, "Say... Doesn't this seem familiar to anyone?"
"Like when Zilias wanted revenge on Khatah by using the bonemark of Samurox!" Parmon exclaimed. "Oh dear! Spratt might go after the bonemark of Zephyrox to get revenge!"
"We don't know for sure!" Artha exclaimed then spoke to Chute, "Chute, you and your crew better get ready! 'Cause I have a feeling something bad is going to happen soon."
"Will do, Artha Penn! Chute out..." the com-link went off.
"We need to find Spratt before something really bad happens." Artha told us.
"But how? We don't even know where he could be or he might be at the temple already!" Kitt exclaimed.
Then Lance suddenly has an idea, "Maybe Zilias can help us! Since she's been through this before, maybe she can talk Spratt out of it if he's going to the temple."
"Great idea, Lance!" I praised Lance for thinking up an idea quickly.
Lance calls Zilias on his com-link, "Lance to Zilias! We need you help!"
Few seconds later, Zilias answers, "This is Zilias! What's going on?"
"Zilias, we need you to find Spratt! We think he might go to the temple of Zephyrox's bonemark!" Lance explained.
"What? A-Are you sure?" Zilias stuttered.
"Not exactly, but please! Look for him! He's got tan skin, he's about my height and he rides on a White Sky Class dragon." Lance gave Zilias the information.
"Alright! Luckily, I'm out for a walk with Swyft so I should be able to find him. Zilias out!" the com-link went off.
((Normal POV))
With Zilias and Swyft, the two were in Mid City. After receiving the message from Lance, Zilias drove Swyft through the street to find Spratt.
"I'm sure you heard, boy, but we have a kid to find before something happens." Zilias spoke to her dragon.
{In other words, before something horrible happens...} Swyft spoke to himself.
Moments later, Swyft suddenly stops and hears something ahead. "What is it, Swyft?" Zilias asked.
Swyft glances at his rider, {I think hear something and it's coming this way.} he pointed ahead so Zilias will know what he heard.
Zilias looks at what Swyft is pointing at then something walking towards them. Zilias and Swyft hid in the ally and about few minutes later, they saw Spratt, who's being controlled by the map, and Bumpyr walking to where the map is 'telling' them. As they pass by, Zilias and Swyft look at each other with worries and secretly go after them. Moments later, Spratt and Bumpyr were near a white temple and slowly walk inside. Zilias and Swyft peek from behind a boulder then quickly go after them as the door shuts behind them.
Zilias looks back at the door and sees it shut tight, "Scales! ...Now what are we gonna do?"
{You're asking me?} Swyft snorted.
They then heard a thump on the ground in front of them, looks ahead and Spratt shaking head from the control of the map. "Ow... What happened?" Spratt muttered.
"That map brought you here into the temple to find something that you shouldn't." Zilias spoke.
Spratt and Bumpyr looks back to see Zilias and Swyft. "Huh? Who are you? Where am I?" Spratt exclaimed with confusion.
Zilias tries to calm Spratt down, "Relax for a second! I'll explain later... Right now we need to get out here before-" Suddenly, a gust wind picks up then blows very hard as they all swirl into the air then floor slides into the wall, showing nothing but a very deep way to the bottom. "Scales!"
Swyft and Bumpyr try to do something, but keep moving around the air with their riders on their back. "Wh-What are we gonna do?" Spratt cried.
{We're gonna die!} Bumpyr squealed with terror.
"Activate your White Aero Gear! That way we can fly to safety!" Zilias yelled then activates the White Aero Gear on Swyft then glides through the harsh winds.
Spratt quickly activates the gear on Bumpyr and glides after Zilias and Swyft, unevenly. "I-I can't steer Bumpyr! The wind is blowing to hard!" Spratt yelled through the wind.
"Keep it steady and balance it!" Zilias responded as she tries to find a landing surface then spots a huge opening to a room. "That way! Follow me!" She then activates the Red Thruster Gear to move towards the opening very fast.
Spratt and Bumpyr fly after them as they spin and twirl in the air. They screech and cry with fright, but also excitement. Zilias and Swyft land inside the room, so did Spratt and Bumpyr.
"That was fun!" Spratt laughed. Bumpyr shook off the excitement as he grins with amazement.
Zilias and Swyft just stare at them with disbelief then sighed. "...Kids..." Suddenly, something glows ahead. They all look to see what's glowing and see a small white tornado object which was coincidently the symbol of the Dragon Winds crew. It was the bonemark of Zephyrox.
"Whoa...!" Spratt felt dazed by it as Bumpyr walks closer to it. "What is it?"
"Spratt! Stay away from that! That's a bonemark! It holds the spirit of a Warrior Dragon and it's filled with evil and too much power for you to control!" Zilias shouted.
Spratt slowly looks back at Zilias, "How do you know that?"
Zilias looks away with regret, "Because it happened to me and I almost killed someone I love... Spratt, let's get out here and go to Penn Stables. Lance's is worried about you."
Suddenly, Spratt looked angry, "What? Now Lance is noticing me? Did he send you here 'cause he thinks I can't take of myself?"
Zilias tries to explain, "Spratt, no! That's not it! Lance is just worried-!"
"That I'll have a better crew than him! And I will..." Spratt looks back at the bonemark, "...with that. It will make me stronger and better than Lance's stupid crew and Chute will truly be sorry for not letting me join her crew!" The bonemark's energy was controlling him then Bumpyr mags the bonemark onto his head.
Suddenly, the bonemark surges its energy into Bumpyr and Spratt. White marks appear on them as Bumpyr grew bigger into his adult form. Then fins grew out from his sides and his long tail. Bumpyr then lets out a powerful roar through the temple...
{I'm finally...FREE!}
"Oh no!" Zilias gasped with terror as Swyft backs away from the possessed Spratt and Bumpyr, who's now Zephyrox, King of the Sky Class Dragon.
"...I feel so wonderful and powerful!" Spratt exclaimed as his eyes glowed white. "...I need white draconium gear to become stronger!"
Zephyrox stares at Swyft's White Aero Gear, mags it off and sucks it into his body. {My gear!} Swyft barked.
Zephyrox roars then runs out of the room and out of the temple with Spratt on his back. "Aw, scales...!" Zilias cried and tries to go after them, but doesn't see them as she and Swyft step outside. "Double scales! ...This is really bad!" Zilias contacts the Penn Racing crew, "Guys, come in! I've got bad news! Spratt found the bonemark of Zephyrox and he's now going into the city!"
"What? Please tell me this isn't happening!" Michelle shouted.
"I'm afraid it's happening, Michelle..." Zilias sighed.
Lance then cries with guilt, "This is all my fault! If I hadn't forgotten about Spratt-!"
"Now's not the time to blame yourself, Lance!" Kitt exclaimed.
"It should take about 15 minutes for them to get more white gear... If we hurry and warn Chute about what's happening, we should have time!" Parmon spoke.
"Okay then! Zilias, you go and tell Khatah what's gonna happen!" Artha ordered.
"Will do! Zilias out!" the com-link went off then she drove Swyft to the Inner Order crew to get to Khatah.
Meanwhile with Spratt and Zephyrox, they run through the city, taking more white gears from riders and dragons. Then heads towards Word's Citadel, somehow knowing he will have stronger gear. At Word's Citadel, Word was watching news of a white dragon running through the city stealing white draconium gear. He then heard roaring coming his way and sees Spratt and Zephyrox standing right behind him.
"Well, well... I never thought that you, Spratt, would get the bonemark... You must be very upset with your friend." He then pushes a button, showing a level 8 White Aero Gear and White Rappel Gear. "Oh! What do we have here? Level 8 White Aero Gear and White Rappel Gear. Try them on... I'm sure they would help."
Zephyrox mags the gear onto him. Then his claws grew longer as his fins got a bit longer and bigger. He then lets out a powerful roar.
"Welcome back, Zephyrox... King of the Sky Class Dragons!" Word laughed with evil. "Now, go to Chute's crew to find your descendant and take over her dragons to start a dragon human war!"
Zephyrox runs out from Word's Citadel, roaring out through the city, calling his white dragon army to stop anyone who gets in his way. The white dragons heard Zephyrox's call then mag off their riders as more white dragons appear and start attacking the humans.
Few minutes later with the Dragon Winds, Chute was thinking about Spratt, wondering if the child really did go after the bonemark. Chute really wished she had told him the real reason. Then her com-link beeps...
"Chute! It's Artha Penn! You and your crew are in danger! Spratt and Zephyrox are on their way to whe-!" the connection got cut off.
"Artha? Artha Penn? What's happening?" Chute tried to get a hold of Artha, but no response.
Then one of her crew members yells, "Chute! The white dragons are acting strange and something is coming this way!"
All of a sudden, something blasted through the doors, roaring out loud. Zephyrox and Spratt have already arrived. {...It is time to start a dragon human war!} Zephyrox screeched.
"...This is very, very bad." Chute muttered with fear, knowing this warrior dragon will be tough to defeat.
