A cracking sound reached Ulric's ear, prompting him to look at the cocoons he and the other warriors of the Aslan Tribe were guarding.
The cracks spread on their surfaces. Soon enough, one of them broke before their eyes. From it emerged a monster that the members of the Aslan Tribe had never seen before.
But that was only the beginning. Within seconds, more cocoons began to break. Understanding that something momentous was about to occur, Ulric immediately gave an order.
"Someone wake up our Great Chieftain!" Ulric ordered. "Tell him the Drakes have emerged from the cocoons!"
One of the warriors hurriedly left to inform Leone of what was happening.
Ulric had no idea about the temperament of these new monsters, so he didn't dare to leave them with his subordinates. His stance showed his readiness to fight in case the drakes caused a commotion.
His gaze landed on the biggest cocoon, which was at the center of the underground cavern.
