Other dragonslayers on the scene wanted to protest and compel Jett to protect them, since they were part of the same race. Alas, Eleonora's swift, cruel reaction, which turned Bob into a mere meat shield, left them utterly frozen. No one dared to utter a word, lest they end up fighting not only dragons but fellow humans.
"S‑Save me! We fought together against dragons, didn't we?! Say something! Do something! Save me!" Bob spun around and shouted at the other dragonslayers, his stare boring into the ones he had fought alongside.
He didn't get what he'd hoped for. Instead of his friends siding with him, everyone absolutely averted their eyes and swallowed their feelings, not daring to utter so much as a single word. They were done. It was as simple as that. All they could do right now was walk into an army of dragons led by none other than the Dragon Empress and fight as heroes would.
