Renwick Lunaris had seen some shit today.
Six red flags. Seven what-the-fucks.
But the problem with dominos is you only notice them after they've started the chain reaction. Eight had gone down behind his back, and the ninth was seconds from impact.
DOMINO 9: SPECIAL DELIVERY
LUNARIS OUTER FOREST - 6:45 PM
DISTANCE FROM LUNARIS KEEP - 1 MILE
DRAGON FLIGHT TIME - 11 HOURS 15 MINUTES
A formation of dragons landed in the forest with the subtlety of a wrecking ball through a window, which was ironic considering the state of the Keep.
They had flown an entire day without stopping. Mistake in hindsight, because if they'd touched down even once, Jaxon or Lux could have set a portal anchor as basic insurance on the off chance she wasn't there.
A smart commander would have seen it. Maddox would later admit he was not, in fact, being smart. He was being a husband and husbands don't fucking stop when their wife is in danger.
DOMINO 10: THE KEEP WAS FINE WHEN WE LEFT, TYLER
