Chapter 16
WEEKS PASSED, THE FALL fading into winter, and still Taun hadn't advanced beyond a violet core. That limited the techniques he could master, so while the rest of his class were learning how to lace different elements into their forge work, Taun could only watch them in growing frustration. He'd come all this way, done the impossible, but it still didn't feel like he'd done enough. Because nothing he'd accomplished would help his family if the eldwyr attacked the Ruby Blade Keep again.
No, not if.
When.
Because Taun couldn't shake the feeling that the raid on his home was a test. Heâd slaughtered the eldwyr, but only with Axaranth's help. Those monsters had magic of their own. When they realized the dragon wasn't at the keep, they'd attack. And this time, they'd come with a much bigger force.
There is no fault in your logic. The eldwyr have been gone from our world for much longer than any other time before. My descendants may believe we defeated those foul creatures, but there are always more of them waiting to rise from the wyld. They are a cancer of reality, unchecked life with no limits and no rules. They always return. Which is why we must be careful. You cannot push yourself too hard until we have healed the soul scale. I am the only dragon who believes you, the only one who can convince the Scaled Council of the coming danger. Do not let your ambition kill us and doom your family.
Axaranth had started talking again a few days ago. He still mostly kept his own counsel, except for those times when Taun's frustration or attempts to advance threatened the soul scale. Then the dragon became exceptionally chatty. It irritated Taun that the dragon had a point. Destroying the scale and killing Axaranth wouldn't just end the young knight's life along with the dragon. It would prevent his family from getting the help they would need when the monsters returned.
âYou look so glum,â Kam said, throwing an arm around Taun's shoulders. âThat dragon in your head got you down?â
The Broken Blades had just wrapped up a delicious breakfast of fried eggs, bacon, griddle cakes drenched in butter and honey, and more sliced berries and fruit than Taun had seen in all his years back at the keep. As with everything else the dragons did, meals were lavish affairs. It pained Taun to see so many half-eaten dishes cleared by the human servants who waited on the dragons at mealtimes. The wasted food would've filled the bellies of many Koth'tok landsmen. He shook his head at the inequality as they headed for class.
âI'm a little nervous about hoard class, today,â Taun admitted. âThis is the first advanced stuff we've done, and I'm not sure I'm ready for it.â
Kam rolled his eyes and laughed. âYou adapt better than most dragons, Taun. You may not do things the same way we do, but I'm willing to bet you'll figure it out. That's one reason the rest of the Blades listen to you.
