Castor watched and waited as Kage scaled the shear cliff. The man was too far away for Castor to see clearly, but the speed at which he made it across the rocks and up the cliff made it clear to Castor that he was using some special abilities to do so. He should have guessed he was not the only mage on this expedition.
The climbing gear attached, Lily was the next to begin the climb. At about the same moment, two sounds from different sources came to Castor’s ears; shouting from the cliff top and a huge splash in the water next to the boat. The closer sound became Castor’s focus.
He turned to see a large Drake in the water. It was as big as any he had ever seen but much closer. He really didn’t know what to expect so he thrust out his left hand toward the creature, casting Shield between them and moved as needed to keep it there. At the same time, he pulled out his sword. Not wanting to miss an opportunity to strike and not knowing exactly how tough the creature’s hide was, he Honed his blade making it much sharper and waited to see what it would do.
