Taming the Fire Dragon
Nylion snarls at Laiken as we leave the conclave.
“I’m sorry, my rider,” Laiken apologizes. I hate that Nylion is taking his anger out on Laiken, as if he’s to blame for what happened in the conclave. “I’ve never seen a claiming mark that large, except from Phoenix.”
There’s a phoenix too? Oh, how little I know of the supernatural world.
“You will be punished,” he snarls.
“It’s not his fault, Nylion,” I say. The slap isn’t unexpected, but it still stings.
