CHAPTER 10 – KELLY

I stared at Li-wun in disbelief for a few silent moments as a flood of emotions washed over me. I had only just met her, but in the brief time we'd known each other, I'd felt so close to her. There was just something about her that made her feel like . . . well, family, really. Maybe it was because she too was a dragon, and that was what intensified this feeling, or maybe she was like the grandmother I had never known.

All I knew now, at this moment, was that I was going to lose her.

“No,” I murmured. “Li-wun . . . you can't die. I've only just met you.”

She smiled sadly and chuckled softly.

“All living things must die, Kelly, whether dragon or human. For all our powers, we dragons are not immortal. I have been alive for well over a century, and my body has decided that that is simply too long. I must meet my ancestors in the afterlife soon.”

“But . . . but . . . ”

“I will do my best to train you in the coming days, and perhaps weeks, if I can hold out that long. I owe it to you, and to all of the shifter kind to do that much. I wish it could be longer . . . but these bones are old, and this heart beats so slowly in this withered old chest.”

A tear trickled down my cheek as emotion swelled within me, and on impulse, I stepped up to her and hugged her tightly. Her tiny body felt like a child's in my arms. She hugged me back and patted me softly and reassuringly on my back.

“Oh child, I wish I could have years with you instead of weeks,” she said. “There is so much I want to show you, so much I want to teach you. But it is what it is, and we must make do with what little time is given to us. It will do neither of us any good to dwell on sadness and regret over what cannot be. Come, now. We must begin your training.”

I stepped back from her, my eyes still burning with tears, and I sniffed and nodded, trying to compose myself.

“Alright. You're . . . you're right, Li-wun. I need to learn as much from you in this . . . this short time that we have . . . as I can.”

“Good. You are ready to learn now,” she said. “The first aspect of training will be holding your dragon form on the ground, under stress. When you can do that, then we will try it again in the air.”

“Let's do this,” I said, feeling a fresh wave of determination washing over me.

“Shift into your dragon form,” she said. “I will provide some, how shall I say, some distractions that will test your nerves. All I want you to do is hold your dragon form as long as possible. The first thing that your body will try to do when threatened is shifted back into your human form.
