Velkaris tilted his head, watching his bonded human shake with concentration. He let out a grunt, which translated to: Serena does this all the time.
"I know that," Dexmon snapped at the dragon because he could feel the judgement without needing to open his eyes.
Five minutes went by.
Gold flickered around Velkaris.
"Got it," Dexmon panted.
Velkaris let out a roar of pure pride. Every member of the Draken Forces saw and started clapping.
"Well done!" Archibald called over the railing.
Dexmon gave a single nod, not bothering to hide that he was proud of himself because that was difficult.
Gavriel opened one eye. Looked at Velkaris. Looked at Dexmon. Closed the eye. His jaw tightened by a full centimeter.
"That's one," Hyran said flatly. "Now add it to the other dragons."
The gold around Velkaris vanished. Velkaris let out a groan of impatience.
Tiberon had seen enough.
