With the map's help, Axel quickly located the ruins of the Dwarves' kingdom, Nidavellir. Upon arrival, the first thing he did was call for backup.
Using a return scroll, Axel traveled back to the Axevaria Kingdom.
There, he urgently searched for a few specific individuals.
"Nina!" he shouted.
The witch turned her head, surprised by the sudden summons. "Sir Axel? It's rare for you to seek me out. Do you need something?"
"Yes, actually." Axel nodded. "We're planning to fight a dragon, and I was hoping for your help. I also intend to call on the others."
"D-Dragon...?"
Her confusion was understandable.
After all, dragons weren't just found anywhere. In fact, they were more a part of legends than reality in Nina's world.
"Wait, there's a real dragon in this world?!" she gasped, struggling to believe Axel's words.
"Yes," he replied. "I'd like to explain more, but it would be more efficient to do so with everyone present. Please gather at the castle's courtyard for now."
