Professor Valerius and Nymeria climbed down the wide stone steps of Wyrmwood academy.
"Do you think they will send him to the Enclave?" Nymeria asked quietly as they walked. "I am sure the entire kingdom saw that symbol in the sky yesterday. A Dragon and a Star... it has not happened in centuries."
Valerius murmured as he adjusted the collar of his coat. "I would not be surprised if they decided to send him there. The Council has always fears what they cannot control. And right now, the boy is the definition of uncontrollable."
Nymeria did not say another word. She just gripped her academy uniform tighter.
Soon, they arrived at the open field. Waiting for them was Senior Cadet Elian, standing next to his dragon, a black dragon. Senior Cadet Elian was the one who had given Reynold a chance during the second trial, and if anything he was happy be did.
Seeing them approach, Elian straightened and offered a respectful bow. "Professor Valerius." He nodded to Nymeria. "Nymeria."
