Elliot stared at Clan for a couple of seconds. He then turned his eyes to his friends who were grinning with joy and excitement.
"Y-You won't wake Hope home?" Elliot whispered as tears started brimming in his eyes. "But I thought you would take him away and–"
"No," Clan shook his head and smiled. "Especially now that you are facing such a fight. I will be training the dragons myself and come home. They need guidance because a war is starting. For this war, every race has its part to play."
"Are you really not going to take me home?" Hope asked his uncle. "The dragons expect me there."
"Hope, you know that this family that you have here is your home," Clan said. "Home is not a place, it's a bond."
Hope wrapped his uncle in his arms, tightly gripping him with as much as he could. Clan looked up and chuckled, feeling the love of his nephew that reminded him of his sibling.
