"Aw," Gojo propped his hand under his chin and grinned at Javon, "you consider me a friend." He was trying to lighten the mood, but evidently no one else wanted it to be lightened. Megumi looked up at the Vikings, his expression a stoic mask, but Gojo could see cracks of fear vei...

Megumi shrugged, stoned-faced as he answered. "Lots didn't survive. Some did, but after a while I quit seeing them around. Probably got rescued." "Why weren't you with them? What happened to your parents?" Gojo pried. The way this kid seemed emotionally numb to something so horri...

Gojo had grabbed a few pieces of food for himself and some for Megumi while Fishlegs was running his mouth. He sat next to the kid and munched happily as he watched the proceeding antics with a smirk. Megumi, on the other hand, stared down at the food in his hand, his brain overloading from all the ...

Megumi did not enjoy the ride in the Nightmare's talons whatsoever. When they finally reached the apparent campsite Javon had mentioned and Firelash plopped him on the ground, he just sank to his knees. The terror that had fueled him during the battle and subsequent escape quickly drained from his b...

Megumi cringed in the dragon's grip. The heat above radiated to his body and made him hyper-aware that one stray flame could set him on fire along with the dragon.

Gojo looked up, bracing himself for the swarm to have returned, but instead he saw a familiar rounded dragon descending on them. "Guys, what the Thor is going on?" called its rider. Fishlegs and Meatlug! "I know we were supposed to stay put, but we had finished cooking all the food, a...

Barf and Belch slipped back through the crack in the ceiling, leading the Smokebreaths out of the cavern and into the sky above. Raiju tailed them, ready to let loose an electrical storm on the pack dragons once they were in the open air. Meanwhile, Gojo turned to look at Javon and shrugged the rema...

Gojo had wrapped himself around Megumi as a human shield after a Smokebreath had dive-bombed the boy and clipped his shoulder. There was no way they were getting out like this. The swarm was now circling them, their smoke cloud being shaped into a whirlwind and picking up small debris that came flyi...

At the mention of his rider, Raiju shook his wings out and let out a low rumble. He seemed to sense the rising urgency of the situation. "There's a—swarm—" Ruffnut pointed back at the cave opening, "—angry little Smokies." Just as she said it, a light colored Smokebreath darted o...
