Day 4 - The Mountains of Everlasting Fire!
With no passengers to carry, Night Raptor made really good time and distance since leaving Bisanthium. Roughly 4 hours later, NR was passing over Kathadum Thanates border.
"I need some rest before continuing on my journey," Night Raptor said to himself, "And if I land outside of this town, then I might be safe during my rest before heading out later on in the morning."
So Night Raptor landed and found a wooden area in which to rest after flying for 6 hours and 45 minutes straight with no break. Still in his dragon form, NR laid down and slept. When he awoke, Night Raptor began to search the woods for some food. Night Raptor was successful in catching some wildlife, but it was not enough for a meal.
"It is not much," Night Raptor said to himself, "But it will be sufficient in getting back to my mountain home before I need to eat again." After Night Raptor finished eating, he took to the sky again. After a two hour long flight, Night Raptor landed on his perch outside of his cave in The Mountains of Everlasting Fire.
"It is so good to be home again," Night Raptor said as he went into his cave. NR went to his kitchen cave, and prepared a meal for himself. As Night Raptor was finishing up his lunch, he heard a thud outside of his cave's mouth and then heard the soft scrapings of scales entering his cave.
"WHO DARES ENTER THE CAVE OF NIGHT RAPTOR," Night Raptor hissed from the kitchen.
"It is I," hissed a voice, "Takko."
"Takko?" Night Raptor questioned as he stepped out of the kitchen cave into the hallway, "Well it is you Takko, how's it going friend?"
"It is going rather well," Takko replied, "I came to take care of your cave, and I have been while you were away."
"Thanks my friend," NR stated, "It is so good to be home again."
"It is nice seeing you again NR," Takko commented, "We have a new dragon king."
"Really," NR said, "Who is it?"
"Nintimbo," Takko responded.
"I see," Night Raptor replied, "Well Nintimbo is a good one."
"Yes he is," Takko replied, "But as you know, he hates you and has ever since you killed his best friend who was your father as well."
"I know," Night Raptor said, "Let me guess, he doesn't want me here at all."
Takko nodded sadly and said, "That is correct, but most of us understood why you did it and disagree with Nintimbo on that call."
"Nintimbo is an idiot," Night Raptor stated coldly, "If he thinks that he can force me to do anything, then he will end up like my father."
"He will try something," Takko said, "When he finds out that you are here."
"Let him," NR sneered, "I will send him to his grave."
"I know you will," Takko said, "And I stand with you all the way, but I must go now."
"Okay," Night Raptor replied, "Thank you for your warning, your friendship, and take care of yourself."
"I will," Takko said as he left the cave, "I will see you later." With that said, Takko took off and flew to his own cave.
Night Raptor watched Takko go and then went back inside to rest after all, he would need it if he and Nintimbo were going to duel to the death.
