The wind brushed against Adam's face as he soared high above the sea of clouds. Sitting atop Valerian's back, he looked in a daze around the scenery.
Valerian had transformed into an enormous black panther with feathered wings. He flapped his wings and flew in the direction of Saratoga Castle.
"Brother, are you okay? You've been awfully quiet ever since we left the city," he said.
Adam snapped out of his daze, his hands involuntarily patting the young dragon's back. "Yeah… I'm just thinking about the old man."
Valerian flapped his wings again, traversing dozens of meters in the sky in a split second. "Don't worry about Old Man Berger. He is strong."
Adam's lips curled up into a smile. "That he is."
Adam had a lot to think about after his discussion with the Twilight Warden, Rank 3 - Mana Vortex Magus, Krummor Grimriver.
