"I’m happy you think that," I said, stepping from the gloom, "but there’s no need."

They all froze.

Four sets of eyes snapped toward me—wide with disbelief, awe, and something almost like relief.

"You—!" Evil Eye started, then cut herself off. Her mask of control slipped just enough for me to catch it—the faintest quiver in her voice.

"You’re alive?" Tina asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Tia narrowed her eyes. "How?"

"Simple," I said, dusting off the remnants of dragon flesh from my cloak. "I used a smokescreen. The moment I made sure you were all out of range, I let off a burst spell that clouded the entire chamber. It was a diversion—nothing flashy, just dense magic fog with some explosive mimicry. Gave the impression I’d self-destructed or something noble like that."

I shrugged. "Dragons are prideful. I figured they’d hesitate before chasing through a magical smog that might kill them."

"You faked your death?" Evil Eye? asked Evileye, stunned.

"Well," I smirked, "you were already halfway through mourning. I figured it would make the story better."

Evileye looked like she wanted to yell... or hug me... or both.

"I can’t believe you pulled that off," Tia muttered, shaking her head.

Tina gave a soft laugh. "We thought you were dragon food."

"Please," I said. "You should know by now—it’ll take more than a few lizards to bring me down."

"Anyway," I continued, shifting the subject, "you get what we came for? Proof?"

Tia reached into her pouch and pulled something out—a severed Quagoa tail, wrapped in cloth and stained with fresh blood.

Tina held up a second item: a signet, torn from the armor the Quagoa leader had worn.

"Perfect," I said. "That’s all we need. With these, we can prove the job was done. No one will question the result."

Evileye exhaled slowly, the tension finally bleeding from her shoulders. "Then let’s get out of here. I’ve had enough of frozen caverns and death glares from dragons."

Gondo nodded in agreement. "The sooner we’re back in Feo Berkana, the better. We can report to the Council and warn them that the dragons may still pose a threat—even if the Quagoa leader is dead."

"They won’t be a threat," I said calmly. "Trust me. After tonight, they’ll think twice before stepping outside their cave again."

Evil Eye gave me a look. "You’re not going to tell us what happened in that chamber, are you?"

"Nope," I replied. "Not yet."

Her eyes lingered on me for a moment longer, as if searching for the real answer beneath the deflection. But then she let it go. Maybe she didn’t want to know just how far beyond human I really was.

We began our march back through the frozen tunnels. The cold was still biting, but it didn’t seem as harsh now. Maybe it was the warmth of survival. Maybe it was just relief. The silence held no fear anymore—just exhaustion and a strange kind of peace.

Tia and Tina had already started whispering again—probably about what exactly I was.

I think eye look started to change from what it previously was.

Gondo... Gondo walked quietly, like a man still trying to piece together what he had seen. I couldn’t blame him. He’d come face-to-face with something no dwarf would ever believe.

And I? I walked ahead, the blood of dragons still drying on my skin, thinking about the next steps.

To be truthful, I wanted to bring the dragon head as a trophy, but if I did that, then I would also need to explain what happened to the other three dragons. Because they are prideful species If I killed one of their companions, the other would target me, or that is what the common sense of the world is.

If I said that I managed to kill all four of the dragons, then my plans for them would be jeopardized, so I let Demiurge use the corpses.

He always found a purpose for the dead.

As I walked, footsteps padded softly beside me. I didn’t look—I didn’t need to. Tia and Tina flanked me now, their presence subtle but deliberate.

"So," Tia began, casually, "do you have any lovers, Alex?"

The question came out of nowhere, calm as if she were asking about the weather.

I glanced at her sideways, noting the flicker of amusement in her eyes. "Clementine and Solution," I replied evenly. "They’re mine."

Tina hummed. "Interesting choices."

Tia tilted her head. "Both strong women."

"They are," I said simply.

They were silent for a moment. Then they looked at each other—communicating in that silent, twin-like way they always did. A nod passed between them. Subtle, but unmistakable.

"Are you planning to increase that number?" Tina asked, her tone still light but her gaze sharp.

I gave a low chuckle. "That depends. Is someone volunteering?"

Tia smiled, and for a moment, it wasn’t cold or calculating. "Maybe. Just curious how open you are to... expansion."

I didn’t answer immediately. Because I wasn’t expecting this.

"I don’t chase," I said at last. "But I don’t run either." I pick the line I thought was cool.
