Chapter Seven

"Congratulations," a warm voice behind her said.

Myra turned, surprised she had completely forgotten that Gadriel had stayed for the entire duration of the trials. "Oh, thank you," she smiled.

He dipped his head in a small bow to her before straightening and spreading his wings. "I will go and fetch Rhys for you. We'll be back soon." With that, he was gone. She realized now, watching him fly alone, that he could fly nearly twice as fast as she could. He'd been slowing down for her. So Dragonkin fly faster... good to know. I wonder what other aspects of myself have been heightened thanks to this gift from the Elder Dragons?

"Myra," the purple dragon spoke up once Gadriel had vanished from view. "I'm sure you have many questions. While we like to let Dragonkin discover their new abilities on their own, there are some other questions I can answer."

"Like... about how we're connected?" Myra hesitantly asked, turning back to her draconic ancestor.

The corners of his mouth pulled upward into a small smile. "Yes. I know you are curious to learn about your family, particularly since your parents passed away."

"Wait- how did you know that?" Myra gasped through her tightening throat. Strange- she hadn't cried about her parents in years. Perhaps Dragonkin feel heightened emotions as well.

The dragon settled to the grass in front of her while the others looked on curiously. It seemed even they didn't know the story he was about to tell her. "My name is Kalseru. As a human, I go by Kal. Before I begin, please know how great the trust I have in you is, by telling you my name. Do not share it with anyone else. If you must use my name, please just use Kal. I'm sorry to say that as full dragons, we are still heavily cautious and take every precaution to evade discovery."

"I understand," Myra accepted, dipping her head to him in acknowledgement.

"I have, over the years, grown rather fond of my human form. While most of the Elders don't venture into that form anymore, I have for a short time every few years, just to keep in touch with the goings-on of human life. We cannot be blind to our neighbors in any case. It was while I was in this form that I met and fell in love with a human. She was as kind as could be, and passionate as anyone I'd ever seen. She loved her paintings, children... life in general. It was what drew me to her. I believe you've inherited your passionate nature from her," he continued, his great eye swimming with emotion. My affinity for painting, too, apparently, Myra thought, a happy glow settling about her as a connection to her family was finally realized.

"...She was your grandmother," he continued, compassion coloring the words as they entered her mind. "And I lost her. She died giving birth to your father, despite having transitioned into a partial dragon during the pregnancy. Unfortunately it still happens once in a while, even among dragons," he sighed, a far-away look now weighing in his eyes.
