Inferno had spread his wings wide, inspiring awe in the Jamurai. He attempted to hover in the air, but the King of the Dragons screeched in pain before dropping into a heap on the ground. Immediately, Dontrelle rished to his side.
"Oh, like hell you're going anywhere!" the Don spoke. He shifted Inferno onto his back before looking up at his other comrades. "You guys go ahead and get to the capital! I'll catch up." They all complied, and they hurried off over the ruins towards the capital.
The Jamurai looked down at Inferno, who was wincing in pain. "Hold still," he said as he placed his right hand over the Dragon King's heart.
"Why do you help me?" Inferno whispered between groans.
"A friend in need is a friend indeed, I always say," Don replied. "Now be quiet for a sec." Concentrating, the Jamurai channeled his ki through his arm into Inferno's chest, which glowed blue. Inferno sighed, as his muscles relaxed, showing that the rejuvenation process was working. After two minutes of this channeling, Dontrelle withdrew his hand and got up off his knees.
"Now get up." |
