Chapter 10

Memories of our trip to Port-of-Pyr had been my only consolation for the past two weeks. Things had gotten so difficult that I spent my nights sleeping with Ignimitra in her cave—just for the comfort of being with someone who understood.

We were barely making it through the Academy.

All the other dragons had grown enough to be fitted for their saddles, something that the more complex aerial combat classes required. Ignimitra on the other hand was still growing at an alarming rate, despite the fact that she was still one of the smallest dragons. Because of this, we were falling behind, struggling to keep up without a saddle.

My only consolation? The Headmaster had been called away on important business with the Fire Drakken, so at least he couldn’t pop up in our class and have us “removed.”

Despite her slow growth, Ignimitra was still very different from the dragonling that I had found in the Forbidden Ruins last month. Her horns were now fully protruded, extending from the back of her head, forming an equilateral circular frame around her face.. The horns at the peak of her head were longest, ending in a deathly sharp point.

I was curled up in the crook of her forepaw when someone called out to us.

“Miss Kressin?”

I stumbled to my feet; knife outstretched. Ignimitra startled at his presence, slithering forward to bare her teeth.

It was a young boy, no more than ten. He was dressed in a pair of overalls and a cap, a messenger bag slung over his shoulder. If the boy was intimidated, it didn’t show.

His mouth was open, eyes glued to the beast towered stories over him.

“Yes,” I walked over to him cagily.

Now that I slept with Ignimitra, I tried to make it back to my room for a shower before seeing anyone. I was still wearing my uniform from the day before, all I could think of was how bad I smelled.

“A letter came for you,” He said. “The mail master asked that I find you.”

He held out a parchment-colored envelope. I took it at arm’s length.

The mail boy stayed a few heartbeats longer, enamored by Ignimitra. Then he left as silently as he had come. Ignimitra craned her neck over my shoulder, big nostrils sniffing the air.

“It’s from Hakan,” I told her, immediately recognizing his scrawl.

A pang of guilt cut my heart. I still hadn’t read the other letter he had given me.

At the sound of his name—for I had told her many stories about Hakan at night while we trained—she yipped, her tail swishing about excitedly. It had only been a few weeks, but our time apart felt like years.

There was so much I wanted to tell Hakan, and so much I wanted to know. How had he been faring without me there to make him breakfast? Who did he send on missions now? Now that I wasn’t there to go to the grocers for him, did he always forget the milk?

I tore open the letter, my fingers trembling. My
