Since Ariael has been in Fiore, the strongest person he has come across has only been himself. He thinking that because he had an ego. His eye allowed him to see all of the power someone wielded and he had yet to come across anyone who was above his own. Raising his hand, Ariael would cover his eyes from the shining sun. He had told the Red Wyvern to wait at the top of the mountain. The smell of the creature didn't hit him yet, so he was positive he hadn't reached it.
The smell reminded him of the dragon who had given him his powers, but there was a difference in the smell that he couldn't quite pinpoint. It always left his mind wandering, but he knew best not to pander over it.
