While the group filed out of the barn and prepared to leave, Mr. and Mrs. Meadacker approached Aylin.

“We would like for you to allow Nahv and Folken to escort you to Enbeck,” said Mr. Meadacker.

“Oh!” said the Speaker.

“Voinett and I…we have a son that was travelling abroad when the curse fell. We want to see this curse lifted. Let us ensure your safe passage.”

“I—”

“We can help,” said Mrs. Meadacker.

Aylin hesitated. She looked to the group. They were standing a few feet away, within earshot. Discerning no objections, she nodded her head. “Alright.”

“Excellent! Nahv!”

The young Meadacker woman was seated in front of the cottage, on top of a pile of logs. Seeing her father waving at her, she stooped to pick up her bag and went to rouse the turquoise-grey dragon that was sleeping alongside the home. He let out a deep, guttural sound.

“Folken is one of our most docile dragons,” said Mr. Meadacker. “He’s exceptional, truly. He’s the one that we use in the majority of our training sessions with the younger dragons to model behaviors.”

“We acquired him when he was still inside the egg,” said Mrs. Meadacker.

“He may seem sluggish, but when the situation calls for it, he just about becomes another.”

Nahv and Folken approached the group.

Mrs. Meadacker hugged her daughter. “Be careful,” she cautioned.

“And remember, try to keep Folken unseen,” said Mr. Meadacker, rubbing Nahv’s cheek with his thumb.

“And if he is seen—”

“Don’t lead them back here,” said Nahv. “I know.”

“Be careful,” reiterated Mrs. Meadacker.

“Cahn?”

“Off with Enay and Dire,” said Mr. Meadacker.

“Well, tell him—”

“He knows. He’s just upset.”

“Hopefully we will all meet again,” said Mrs. Meadacker, addressing the fire-haired Speaker.

“Yes,” agreed Aylin. “My friends and I would like that very much.”
