Salanraja was already waiting in the Council of Three’s courtyard when I ducked underneath the arch to meet them. She hadn’t spoken to me since I’d recovered, and I figured she was angry again about the mutton incident. Why she had to let things stew so much, I had no idea. Now, she had her nostrils flared out, was growling from the base of her chest, and I could feel her rage burning there as if it was my very own.

Really though, I didn’t understand what she was so upset about. We had completed our mission, so she would look great and get the praise she wanted. Then I would become an Initiate and I’d gain the favour of the Council of Three. After that, all I needed to do was find a nice man or woman somewhere in this castle who could summon a portal for me to go home.

“Why didn’t you just call me?” I said. “Why did you have to send that annoying Initiate Rine?”

“Because,” Salanraja replied. “All I could hear going on in your mind was food, food, food, food, food, and I knew I didn’t have a chance of dragging you away from your gluttony using just my mind.”

I turned up my head. “I would have come. The food will always be there later.”

“Will it?” Salanraja asked. “Because I don’t think you ever quite believe that.”

I whined and then turned away from the dragon. I was having a good day so far, and I didn’t want her dragging me down with her negativity. This would be my moment of glory, and my opportunity to finally return home.

Driar Yila, Driar Lonamm, and Driar Brigel already had their staffs raised up to the crystal over their heads, and they were feeding their energy into it. The three Driars watched me as I moved further forward, and I looked at each Driar in an attempt to work out what they were thinking. But their faces didn’t register much emotion.

“You summoned me,” I said to them once I was standing right in front of their raised platform. “Here I am, and I’m sure you’ve heard that our mission went well. Now, if you—”

Driar Yila’s sharp voice cut me off as her expression melted into a frown. “We’ve heard very well about your mission, and it was a complete failure as far as we’re concerned.”

“What?” I said, and my eyes opened wide in shock. “But we defeated the bone dragon…”

“We defeated the bone dragon, Ma’am.”

I blinked at her.

“Say it,” Driar Yila said. “It’s about time you learned to speak respectfully.”

“Fine,” I said. “We defeated the bone dragon, Ma’am.”

“Good. Now, from now on, remember that you shall refer to all other superiors as ma’am and sir. Is that understood?”

“As you wish,” I said.

“As you wish, Ma’am.”

“As you wish, Ma’am.” I accompanied this with a reverent and sorrowful meow. Then, I walked up to the platform and put one foot on it, hoping that I could at least cheer them up by being cute.
