Cyclops!

In the murky depths of the cavern, Bruce brooded over the precarious balance of power. The Black Dragon Kasavia's ascent to dominance was now certain. If her ambitions swelled and she ventured to expand her territory further, the realms Bruce had painstakingly carved out might crumble into her shadow. The stakes had never been higher.

Bruce had meticulously orchestrated his strategy, seizing the wealth of the formidable Black Dragon Kasavia. Yet, in a twist of fate, Kasavia had annexed the territories of the Brass Dragon Garon, absorbing not just lands but also Garon's kin, bolstering her strength unexpectedly.

A heavy silence hung in the air as Bruce contemplated the murky outcome of his intricate scheme. "It appears," he murmured, "we must devise a plan to curtail this malevolent dragon's power."

Carona, Bruce's astute sister, sensed the brewing storm. She feared her brother was treading a dangerous path, aiming to diminish Kasavia's burgeoning might. She vividly recalled their perilous venture of pilfering gems from Kasavia's lair. In Bruce's absence, if it hadn't been for a band of audacious human dragon-hunters diverting Kasavia's attention, the Black Dragon might have traced their scent right to their doorstep.

Meanwhile, as Bruce slumbered, a new menace loomed. The wild boars from neighboring hills had grown increasingly aggressive, launching relentless assaults on Bruce's werewolf tribe. The tribe bore the brunt of these attacks, barely holding the line, honoring Bruce's stern command to endure until his return.

Upon awakening, Bruce's sharp gaze fell upon his brother, Torenço. "Yearning for a chance to discipline those wild boar folk?" Bruce asked, his voice calm yet commanding. "Today, that opportunity is yours. Lead our werewolf warriors and teach them a lesson. But remember, this is about discipline, not annihilation. We are in times when every hand is needed."

Torenço roared in response, his spirit ignited by the chance to assert the Green Dragon's might.

Turning to Carona, Bruce's tone carried a hint of concern. "Oversee the skirmish," he instructed. "Ensure Torenço's fury doesn't consume our true intent. Restrain him if necessary."

Carona's blue vertical pupils gleamed with understanding. She grasped the true purpose behind the confrontation – not destruction, but dominion. Initially, she couldn't fathom the rationale behind subduing such seemingly insignificant creatures. However, as time passed, the pivotal role of the werewolves, kobolds, and goblins became evident. Their participation was crucial in the skirmishes against the Black Dragon Kassavia, the heists, and in securing magical resources. Moreover, the kobolds' knack for mining yielded a steady stream of precious ore – a tangible testament to the untapped potential of these underappreciated beings.

After dispatching Carona and Torenço, Bruce submerged himself in the acid pool, his body absorbing the corrosive liquid in a relentless quest for power. Each gulp promised a surge in strength, a necessity for the trials that lay ahead.

As dusk crept in, silence pervaded. No word had come from Torenço about the wild boars' submission. Concerned, Bruce learned from his goblin informants that Torenço was now ensnared in a brutal clash with giants – an unexpected twist. The presence of giants was an anomaly; their boldness was legendary, and it was plausible they had orchestrated the wild boars' assault on the werewolf tribe.

In the shadowy depths of the cavern, Bruce realized the complexity of the chessboard he was part of. Each move spawned new dangers, alliances shifted like shadows, and power was an elusive, ever-changing mirage.

Bruce's perplexity deepened as he pondered the audacity of the wild boar folk. Their brazen challenge seemed inexplicable unless influenced by a greater force.

With a powerful heave, Bruce hoisted himself up, his formidable stature, weighing nearly a ton, exuding the might of a titan. Resolute, he prepared for a personal venture to the northern battlefield, determined to subjugate the wild boars.

As he lumbered forward, Bruce mused to himself, "If only I had mastered the art of flight, this journey would be less cumbersome." The notion of a dragon lord traversing the land on foot seemed almost demeaning.

After a grueling journey, Bruce arrived at the fringes of the battlefield and noticed Carona, nonchalantly reclined on a ridge, her gaze fixed on the tumult below.

In the midst of the fray, Torenço was locked in a fierce confrontation. Encircled by five Cyclops towering at an imposing two and a half meters, his two-meter stature seemed diminutive in comparison. Yet, his innate resilience, a gift from their Green Dragon lineage, had so far staved off defeat, a testament to his formidable resilience.

"You're not intervening?" Bruce prodded Carona with a playful swat of his paw.

Carona met Bruce's gaze with a hint of melancholy. "Isn't this the battle Torenço yearned for? Besides, he's managing. My directive was merely to oversee, not to engage," she replied.

Bruce scrutinized Carona with a tinge of disdain. "Your mission has evolved. From supervising to assisting. I shall assume your post. Proceed."

With that, Bruce nudged Carona into action while he comfortably settled on the ridge, his keen eyes monitoring the unfolding battle.

Carona grumbled under her breath about the burdens of youth as she reluctantly descended towards the battlefield.

Carona's entry swiftly tipped the scales. Despite their modest size, the dragon siblings' prowess far eclipsed the Cyclops. Even devoid of awakened magical talents, their raw ferocity was a force the Cyclops' thick hide could scarcely withstand.

Bruce's eyes narrowed, his dragon senses attuned to the fray. The battle's outcome seemed inevitable as the dragon duo cornered the five Cyclops, their ferocious claws carving deep, gruesome wounds, revealing the pulsing innards beneath. The Cyclops' tenacious vitality was the only thread sparing them from immediate demise.

Bruce mused on the resilience of these beings, their tenacity ideal for the vanguard of battle.

Suddenly, a thunderous roar shattered the air. A formidable Cyclops, towering at three meters and wielding a massive iron mallet, burst forth from a nearby tent, his presence radiating a raw, untamed power – undoubtedly an awakened force of their lineage.

The mallet, a colossal instrument of destruction, whirled through the air, its formidable gusts pushing Torenço and Carona back. Such might posed a lethal threat to the young dragons, especially if it found their wings, potentially shattering the delicate structures.

Torenço and Carona, recognizing the gravity of the threat, dared not face this new foe head-on.
