The remainder of the ceremony had been short. Walker had left after Gil had started to speak with the elders in depth. Walker felt that it was a moment that Gil was meant to take alone so that he could closely bond with the elves. There was also the fact that Walker could tell that Alma wanted to spend a little time alone with Gil. It was clear that their relationship might change based on this.
"Midnight, I know the hatchlings are tired, but how do you still have energy?" Midnight had returned to the mansion and even after a night's rest, she was still awake. The dragon hatchlings had slept clear in to the day.
"Sister says she feels like she doesn't need any sleep because she hasn't been training as much." Onyx was just like Midnight, he had dropped the abyssal serpent hatchlings off at the cathedral before returning and staying up all night with Midnight.
