Axis nodded.
“Makes sense.”
The two would quickly notice what looked like a lighting bolt racing towards the camp. It crashed into the ground, kicking up a great deal of sand on impact.
When the dust settled, the two would find a very excited looking dragon. Maximus stood, his tail rapidly swishing back and forth. Lightning surged across his body. And a large bird was perched on his back.
The bird had dark blue metallic feathers, and long wire like tail feathers.
“We’re not keeping it.”
Axis said, before Maximus had so much as a chance to open his mouth.
“But he likes me! He followed me all the way hear.”
Maximus pleaded.
“Of course he likes you. You’re a living buffet to a shock vulture like him.”
“Pleeeeaaase?”
“Maximus we’ve been over this. The Sleipnir doesn’t have room for pets.”
“Fine.”
Maximus said, sounding a little disappointed. He nuged the bird off his back, and it flew off back to the storm.
“And let off some of that excess power would you? You’re enough of a lightning rod as it is.”
“Right.”
Maximus turned around to face the storm and opened his jaws. He let out a deafening high pitched shriek, and a massive blast of lighting erupted from his maw. Surging into the sky.
Maximus shook himself off a bit, and headed into one of the shelters. Axis followed and joined him.

Night rolled over the camp, and with it so did the storm. Lightning cracked the sky above, and occasionally struck the sands near the camp. But Angel’s fortifications held strong and the group would have a safe rest.
But before dawn could break, the group would be awoken by something immense. The very ground beneath them trembled. Shaken by a great force that could not be seen from their shelters.
