Adult Males

A century later

"It's all right, my darling. You are perfectly capable of winning this battle. There is no doubt in my mind that you are the strongest male in Terra Dracones."

I shot my mother an unimpressed look, wishing she were anywhere but here. It wasn't that I didn't appreciate the support, but her treating me like I was still only a hatchling didn't fill me with much confidence regarding my ability to defeat my opponents.

"Thank you, Mother," I replied nevertheless. "Are all the competitors here already?"

"Not just yet, dear, although that dreadful firedrake has arrived. Your father has already gotten into a fight with Isebrand."

Her chest puffed up with pride at the words, her tail swaying back and forth as she spoke of her male's accomplishment. I could not blame her for it. My father liked Emmerich's father about as much as I liked Emmerich himself—which was to say, not at all. It would not have been the first time the two of them assaulted one another. Wyverns and firedrakes didn't mix, and not just because our magical abilities were fundamentally incompatible.

"I take it Father won," I couldn't help but prod.

"I'm afraid it was a draw. Elder Kali intervened. But I'm sure Devin would have been successful had he and Isebrand been able to pursue the challenge to its natural end." She patted my flank with her tail. "You won't have that problem. Show that horrid firedrake who is the most powerful male, and the most worthy of a female."

"Yes, yes, Mother," I replied.

Pushing past her, I exited the cave that served as our temporary lair during the preparations for the tournament. I didn't often visit Cor Dracones, the sacred mountain that stood at the very center of our homeland, so I took a few moments to fully register the differences between the terrain here and my own realm. As I stood upon the cliff side, I caught glimpses of fellow young dragons soaring through the air, presumably in order to stretch their wings, but in reality, in a display they hoped would intimidate their rivals. It was a little foolish, as it allowed their opponents to take in the patterns of their movements. When the time came for me to face those arrogant dragonets, they would regret having flaunted their supposedly superior strength.

Ironically, Emmerich seemed to have had the same idea as me, since I could not see him anywhere. Perhaps he was still in his own lair with his parents, preparing for battle like I was. I grinned to myself, suppressing the urge to fretfully flap my massive wings. My mother might occasionally be irritating in her extreme concern for me, but if there was one thing we could agree about, it had to be my absolute desire to put the firedrake in his place.

Ever since our horrible first meeting, our rivalry had just gotten worse. The damn firedrake had only become more irritating as he'd grown into an adult male. The arrogance that had once
