"This is...?"
A familiar aura, a familiar scene... Leonidas seemed to recall something.
Similar images had surfaced a few times in Leonidas's distant memories.
"Not good!" Leonidas exclaimed, his flames flaring violently as he desperately tried to break free from Lestat.
Lestat clung to him, biting down hard, but Leonidas paid him no mind.
Steeling himself, Leonidas whipped his dragon tail around, severing the chunk of flesh Lestat was biting.
"This guy… he's ruthless!" Lestat thought, but his surprise quickly turned to confusion.
Because in the next second, Leonidas shot away from him, as if fleeing for his life.
And that wasn't all. As Leonidas retreated, he continuously cast draconic magic, one shield after another materializing around him.
Finally, Leonidas even produced a defensive, shell-like artifact and dived right into it.
"What is he doing?"
Lestat genuinely didn't understand Leonidas's ploy; he was utterly bewildered.
