Chapter 12
Confrontation
Dexter Demerodt stood before the INQUEST.
The ship had been provisionally repaired and was ready to fly again.
Danny and Cecile were standing beside him.
Dexter turned to Danny.
"You're sure? A griffin?"
Danny nodded. "Yes. It's a gryphon feather and the gryphon is injured, the blood shows that."
Dexter turned back to the ship.
"How is that possible?"
Cecile looked at Dexter.
"Why is that so important?"
Dexter turned to her.
"You are young. Have you ever heard of the Denerias incident?"
Cecile shook her head.
"Not much. My father told me about it. It was the day when the Griffin Guard and all the Griffins fell into disgrace."
Dexter lowered his head.
"That's right. I was there."
Danny looked at Dexter in surprise.
"You were there? What do you mean by that?"
Dexter raised his head.
"I am one of the few survivors of the Denerias incident."
Danny stared at Dexter.
"What? What happened back then?"
Dexter took a step back and looked at both of them.
"Well, I'll tell you....."
A loud bang sounded.
Something exploded on the INQUEST.
All three turned around.
There was another airship in the sky. It was very large and had 7 masts.
"Oh God. It's the WYVERN, they really exist," Dexter stammers.
At that moment, the WYVERN fired another broadside at the INQUEST.
Explosions shook the ship of the Inquisition and one of the masts bent over like a matchstick.
On the ground, the INQUEST was a pure target and one thing seemed certain now.
She would never rise again.
"Away!" shouted Danny, tearing Dexter and Cecile to the ground.
Another salvo hit the INQUEST and hit the ammunition depot.
A moment of silence, then the INQUEST exploded.
The debris flew far through the air and hit all over the landscape.
Then it became quiet.
The turrets of the WYVERN were retracted.
The ship regained altitude and flew away slowly.
Danny helped Cecile to her feet, which she gave a grateful look.
Dexter stood up and clenched his fists.
So many deaths!
So pointless.
