Arad finally reached the Rainbow Mountain, and to his surprise, the first thing that awaited him there was a human-sized stone path. He looked down from the sky, his massive neck slowly moved, lowering his head to the ground.
Eris and Alcott jumped down, landing on the ground and finding Betty already waiting for them. She had run down from Arad's head the moment he landed, so she arrived before them.
Arad shifted back to his humanoid form and landed beside Eris, looking back to see the others doing the same. The only one who didn't was Ignis, who looked at Arad, "This is as far as I go. The queen is awaiting you, but I've got work to do."
"IGNIS!" Alcott shouted and waved his hand, throwing a bottle into the sky. Ignis caught it with magic and took a closer look. "What is this?"
The tiny glass bottle was filled with a strange, thick red liquid.
"My blood, if the dragons started a rebellion, just tell them that I'm here waiting to skin them alive."
