Kaelis was relieved to know that the dragon was flying high and mostly around Skyreach, so most floating islands probably hadn't seen it. If they had, there would have been chaos.
He watched as the dragon danced for a bit longer, blotting the sky completely, as if the riders wanted to intimidate the watchers, as if they wanted everyone to know what kind of power they held.
Finally, the moment he was dreading and anticipating at the same time came. The dragon grew larger and larger as it flew closer to Skyreach before landing in the clearing with a powerful thump.
Fortunately, this red dragon was smaller than most Kaelis had heard about, so nothing happened to the island. Otherwise, the older and bigger ones could decimate the islands with their size and weight alone.
As he faced the wild bursts of wind forming because of the dragon's wings, Kaelis composed himself and ordered everyone to stay back. They were happy to do so.
