Hello readers
Today, Saita tells us more about her understanding of the Fell Dragon. Next week, we will touch base with Shareik and what he is doing with his interference.
Enjoy!
She laid her injured hand on his thigh.
“I have outlived all those who have been our family, and I still live. The cage is gone, and the universe is in disarray. Fledgling Dragons are being made just to keep the universe going. The Dragon was meant to cull, yes, but at a steady pace. A pace that was slow and mimicked the natural order of things. At the same time, the energy it took from the decay would birth new universes, people, planets, times, and universes. My power still grows, and I hide it. Being a Dragon that maintains the balance would do a lot to heal the pain that has been left behind by the Dragons and Champions that have been betrayed in the past.”
“But the cage…”
“The cage is gone.” Said Fledge. “It’s been gone since Kay destroyed it. She…she was terrible. I have nothing good to say about her reign, but she left a legacy that saved us Fledglings from being trapped in cages. We have rooms where we can come and go when we want. Yes, there are times of sleep when more energy is needed, but we are asked first and never forced. But once you’re a Fledgling, there is no going back. It is your job for life.”
“Until a Fell Dragon is found?”
“I…I don’t know.” Said Fledge. “We’ve never had a Dragon come back or a Champion to take up the mantle of Dragon. Saita would be the first, and honestly, I don’t know why she would.”
“Because we both know the need for Fledglings wouldn’t have been necessary if I had just stepped up.”
Fledge snorted. “The Heavenly wouldn’t dare ask you. Not after everything Kay put you through. She grew too strong, learned how all the systems worked, and managed to get all the Wolven to heed her call within a few years. She would have been unstoppable.”
“Kay was an abused child who kept being abused until the day she died.” Said Saita, surprising even herself. “She is forever trapped in a body that looks like that of a sixteen-year-old. She didn’t deserve what happened to her. None of us did. I can’t change what happened to her, but maybe, maybe I can change the need of the Fledglings by stepping up. And maybe that is enough to save everything.”
Bolx sighed softly and placed a hand over hers and smiled.
“I don’t like it, but I can’t do anything to stop you. This life, the one you have now, is long after I’m gone. You must do what you think is right, even if it is to trap yourself.”
He then hesitated before saying softly.
“May I ask for one thing, when you manage to get the skills that you require?”
“I’m just grateful you aren’t begging me to stop.” Said Saita in relief.
“You may change your mind when you find out what I want of you. She died alone, Saita, surrounded by enemies. I know she can’t be saved; she was dying anyway.”
Saita didn’t even need Bolx to tell her who he was talking about. Kaidan. She also knew what he wanted of her. Just to be with her so that she didn’t die alone. Saita nodded her head. She would do her best with this request.
“Thank you.”
Well, that was a heartbreaking request!
