The Shocking Truth
The guardians walked away from the battlefield, their hearts still racing from the intense battle against Malakai. They had saved Tenria, but they knew that their journey was far from over.
As they walked, they noticed a figure watching them from the shadows. It was Aria, the mysterious woman who had helped them on their quest.
"Well done, guardians," she said, her eyes gleaming with pride. "You have proven yourselves to be true heroes of Tenria."
"But what's next?" Brandit asked, his sword still trembling with adrenaline.
"The next stage of your journey," Aria replied, her voice mysterious. "The dragon you have been searching for, the one you must guard with your lives... is Stilinski."
The guardians exchanged shocked glances. Stilinski, their friend and ally, was the dragon they had been searching for?
"What do you mean?" Nathalia asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
"Stilinski is not just a human," Aria explained. "He is a dragon, a powerful and ancient being who has been hiding in plain sight. And he is the key to unlocking the secrets of Tenria."
The guardians were stunned. They had never suspected that their friend was a dragon, let alone the one they had been searching for.
"But why didn't he tell us?" Calandra asked, her eyes wide with confusion.
"He was protecting you," Aria said. "He knew that if you knew the truth, you would be in danger. But now, the time has come for him to reveal his true form."
And with that, Stilinski stepped forward, his body glowing with a fierce light. His form began to shift and change, until he stood before them as a magnificent dragon, his scales shining like gold in the sunlight.
The guardians were awestruck, their minds reeling with the implications of this revelation. They had been guarding Stilinski all along, without even realizing it.
And now, they knew that their journey was far from over. They had to protect Stilinski, the dragon, at all costs. For he was the key to unlocking the secrets of Tenria, and the fate of their world depended on it.
