The urge to burn the entire city was great . Almost overwhelming . Vêrmund did not care for the lives of feeble humans , whether they had relation to his suffering or not .

However , soon that urge was lost to distraction —

Clinging on to that winging chain for dear life, he claimed up using all of the upper body strength left in him after years lf whipping and meanial labour. The difficulty increased with the tenorature of the cavern that came with the demise of royal guard, but just as the chain

With one last triumphant roar , the Black Calamity rose to the sky .

One last whip of his head and the chain snapped from its now useless rune of invulnerability . Freedom . A taste not felt by Vêrmund in decades as he laid waste in that rotting cavern .

Rage filled his chest with fire —

He almost dropped the axe then the breaking of chain threatened to burst hos ear drums, metal battering to the ground and all he could do was avoid being hit by it. That booming voice filling his head once more as he followed the direction of his head and rant to the rock.

That much was all the dragon needed to hear .

Emboldened by the depth of his rage , Vêrmund gathered all strength left in his gigantic body and lifted himself off the ground . With the strength of his wings , one chain was —

The voice in his head almost threw him off balance, making him miss the chain and hit the floor instead, the shock running up his arms, a sensation he ignored as he lifted the axed again.

"Then burn it!"

He yelled back, his voice a roar echoing off the walls
