My eyes were glued onto her, unable to move. Yet in the corner of my blocky vision, interrupted by my fingers, I saw a man in long white robes staring at the situation going down.
He was looking at us with nostalgia flickering between each blink of his, seemingly beginning to stare past us… way past until the images of our past began to flood into his mind.
Slowly, he began to walk toward us, and as I was embraced by Arpious, the dragon's fingers wrapped around her shoulder.
The air was tense for but a moment until Arpious recognized the man who had just gripped her.
"Let me go with you. I want to redeem myself."
"Do what you want," She smiled, and as she suddenly slipped downwards, I tumbled backward, nearly falling onto my ass.
But if it wasn't for Arpious swiftly picking me up into a princess carry, I would have actually fallen backward, preventing such embarrassment in front of some of my present servants.
