"Wake up. If you don't regain control soon, you'll never return to your human form. And you'll never be able to see Lina again."
The moment the dragon heard Lina's name, it miraculously calmed down. It slowly coiled its enormous body around itself before closing its eyes. To an outsider, it appeared to have fallen asleep. In reality, Caelis's consciousness was merging with his inner beast.
Seeing that the dragon had finally calmed down, Dwayne activated his spiritual vision to inspect the surrounding area. Only then did he notice an unconscious boy lying nearby, and another familiar figure.
"Lina!!" Dwayne immediately rushed to his daughter. He channeled spiritual power into her body to replenish her exhausted energy before gently lifting her into his arms.
He carried her over to where Caelis rested. Only then did he return to retrieve Bradley, whose unconscious body lay some distance away.
