"They're already here," Damian said simply, a small smile appearing on his lips.
"They're already here?" Nivara asked, raising an eyebrow. "I didn't sense any of them."
"They arrived just a few seconds after you did. I blocked them from entering the Golden Dragon Palace, preventing them from forcing their way inside until we finish our business here," Damian replied.
He glanced in a certain direction, his vision zooming in as it pierced through the walls and every obstacle in its path.
Outside the Golden Dragon Palace, he saw four dragons in their human forms, floating in the air while arguing among themselves.
Damian shifted his gaze back to Nivara.
"Come here, my dear."
Nivara's face lit up with a beaming smile as she launched herself into his arms, wrapping her arms around his back.
Damian responded by encircling her waist, pulling her closer.
A shiver ran down her spine as their skin brushed against each other.
