Scarfradus lead the dragons through massive buildings in the fortress. People and Elves eventually moved on after following them for a short amount of time. Suddenly an Elf darted around the bend and kneeled before the king. Judging by the lesser armour it wore, Garroth guessed it was a scout. "My lord. You need to see this, now!" He said in worried voice. Scarfradus looked down at the elf he rose to his feet. "What is it, Scout?" He hissed. "Well sir, it appears the demon army is here. They're here and it looks like they are planning to attack us." He said. Scarfradus immediately slithered up towards where a ramp lead to the upper level of the Fortress. It took a while to get to the top but when he did, he peered over the top and saw the demon army in the distance. One of them an enormous demon. The elves and humans were watching as well. The scout then looked up at the leader, pointing to the massive one in the distance also. Garroth and Tranquillus had followed from behind Scarfradus and listened closely. "Well sir, we don't know for sure yet, but it appears the largest one is their leader. But we've also noticed a number of commanders around the leader as well. Should we send out a scout to see nice and close?"
"No, I would not risk it. This demon leader is different to others in the past and looks much stronger. This is something we have not fought against before."
"Sir, it looks like they aren't going to fight us...yet."
"That doesn't matter, whoever this leader is he is not to be taken lightly. This is the real deal here, I think he's the leader of all demons. Who knows what his power might be. Garroth, do you recognize one of those demons?" He asked, turning to Garroth before turning back to the scene before him. The demon army was a long way off but even so, he doubted they would be gathered there for long. Garroth used his eyes and tried his best to zoom in on what was going on. He saw no demons familiar to him and then thought to check near the leader. He saw the leader was talking to someone, it was a commander but this wasn't like the others. This one bore a large burn from a dragonflame. Garroth saw by the detail it was acidic. Garroth then knew who it was, the demon that had summoned the imp army and terrorized the Green Dragon's territory a year ago. This was Valroz. Garroth shuddered and walked back a metre, startled by what he saw.
"I recognize one of them, there's a commander talking to the leader. His name is Valroz, he terrorized the Green Dragons a year ago. We crushed his imp army but...that b******d took the life of one of my friends closest to me called Sarcus. I swore to avenge her death." He growled with rage. He was no longer afraid, he was angry. Tranquillus patted him on the shoulder in comfort.
"They must've come for a reason. As far as I know, the demons have not returned in 500 years...They are after someone." Said Scarfradus. Then he turned to the two dragons. "Are you perhaps being followed by them Garroth?" He asked.
"N-no...at least I think not. It was a year ago, by then Valroz probably would've assaulted my territory with the demon army again but he didn't. I just don't know..." He said in confusion. At least he knew now that their vacation in the Outlands was over, too bad they had just arrived. Garroth wondered if the demons would ever stop pursuing him...
