Back in the imperial palace, Mana and Raven narrated everything to King Jaren, Jules and Bella. The three of them sat on chairs and listened attentively, occasionally cursing.
Azar, on the other hand, was stretched out in a feline fashion, with his heads and front legs on Mana's lap and his hind legs and tail on Raven's lap. Mana and Raven had to sit really close together with their legs touching so that the little dragon could relax comfortably.
The little dragon wasn't really all that little anymore, Mana thought, stroking his head softly. Azar was happily eating a lollipop especially gifted to him by a citizen while King Jaren and others were waiting outside the Phoenix Restaurant for Mana and Raven to come out.
