"Oh, dear sister, I missed you so."

"Thalia, you are bloodlusted."

There was nothing more ferocious than a bloodlusted dragon, that's why I hunted, even when hidden as a catkin. Because even a draconic contract can't hold a bloodlusted dragon.

"Thalias, Gallson, run."

"What?"

"I'm the only one who can take her on like this."

A dragon is a beast, we need to kill. Otherwise, we go insane until we kill a certain amount of creatures. Thalia watched her children die, then couldn't kill anything in Calesen. Combined with being enslaved. Yeah, I can see why she's bloodlusted.

"Sister don't leave me hanging. Fight me!"

She charged and slashed at me, but I dodged barely.

"Well, I need to go all out!"

She roared and shifted back into her regular form.

She punted me into the sky where I shifted and roared.

"Sister, I will kill you!!"

"I will win, Thalia, and I will free you."

"HA HA HA!"

Her maniacal laughter only increased as we clashed.

"What's happening?!"

"Lady Thalia is going mad!"

An elf ran in.

"I think she's bloodlusted."

"Crap, but what's with those tremors."

"The arcane dragon is clashing with her."

"Crap."

I ran outside and sure enough I saw the two dragons clashing.

"SIR!"

"What now?"

"Falden has launched an assault. 100000 warriors."

"Now?"

"SIR!"

"WHAT?"

"A massive group of mythic level Whilderbeasts left the forest. They are charging. Asura is taking them on."

"This is organized. Wait... A slave collar."

Around Thalia's neck, there was a slave collar.

"Falden is doing an all-out attack, get help from surrounding cities."

"You think Falden is behind the other two events?"

"It was already a theory, but I don't think there is any way to explain it otherwise."

My men nodded. Where were Jalad and Royce?

"SIR!"

"Another assault?"

"No sir. Captain Jalad and Sir Royce just opened combat with Falden's army."

"Aid them."

"What about you, Sir?"

"I'm going to the guild. We need their intervention."

"But they don't interfere with war."

"But they do subjugate monsters, and Asura isn't taking the Whilderbeasts down on his own."

"Understood!"

My men ran off and I went straight to the guild, dodging the occasional stray shot from Rose and Thalia's duel.
