Once the arena cleared, Alex flew down to it while the many Winterborn Dragons watched in confusion.
Ashenfog followed behind and arrived at the arena alongside Alex as well. As the curiosity around the arena peaked, he explained the reason behind their sudden arrival.
"We have an unexpected guest here today," the dragon began speaking. "This is Alex, and yes, he is a human. He has agreed to have a mock battle with some of you, so today you may experience what it is like to fight a human. It is rare that you will get such a chance, so make the best of this opportunity."
Waves of murmurs spread throughout the arena, as this had come out of nowhere.
A dragon stood up, discernibly a female. "Why do we have to fight a human to gain experience?" she asked. "We've fought each other plenty of times while taking human form. Is it not the same, family head?"
A few others nodded along, but many remained expressionless.
