The tree of the burrow’s own burgeoning hollow lay behind him as he walked. His friends had all stayed behind to discuss who would have the pleasure of camping under the stars to watch over the pair of sleeping goblins. The air was just beginning to find its coolness as the sun sank closer to falling, and the former game admin should already be waiting for him. Nik sent a private message through the system and asked her to meet him in his home. If I’m going to mess anything up, then it’s better if it’s my own place instead of someone else’s. And I can kick anyone else out for their own safety. Gravity sounds like an easy thing to do some damage with, but so do most of my elemental skills, I guess, Nik thought as he walked through the open doorway of the office building that doubled as his new home. Within the main council chamber, Harper stood waiting for him, alone. “So where do we begin, Lord Nik? With your dragon or with skill training?” she asked. Nik stepped in the direction of his personal quarters and said, “Let’s go in here first, and then we should start with Ryan. I need to be focused on what you’re teaching me, and worrying about his growth would be a distraction.” She followed him into a crescent-shaped room that was honestly larger than what he considered necessary, and he turned to shut the door behind them. Unfortunately, that was when he noticed that the door the goblin builders had placed for his personal chambers was made of solid stone. While he had the earth skill, he hadn’t yet learned an ability that would allow him to shut his own door. “Slightly less private conversation it is,” said Nik. “Well, I’ll get directly to the point. Your little dragon hasn’t moved on to his next stage of growth yet because he’s focused on helping you fight instead of taking his sleep seriously—” “But he sleeps so much,” Nik interrupted. She gave him a look for doing so and then continued. “He occasionally collapses out of exhaustion, and that’s not the same thing. When his body is demanding that he grow, he chooses to stay awake as much as he can force himself to. He needs more than that. According to my father’s notes on the fae-dragons, he will need at least 2 weeks of uninterrupted slumber to move on from his child-like state into adolescence. He may require even more than that.” Nik shook his head. “He might need more convincing than I do on that matter, but that was more information than the faeries have on the fae-dragons, at least from what Pearl has said. All I really knew was that they’re more rare than other dragons and those were not very common on Kyraneth. I don’t know about the other worlds, though.” “The dragons are always rare, mostly because the sadistic creatures will kill any other dragon they don't deem fit to be their mate. They live to dominate their territory, only attempting to brood once or twice in a century. Obviously the fae-dragons are different; they came from a different realm than the elemental dragons after all. Father didn’t have much beyond that to say about them, besides that their home plane was highly inhospitable,” Harper only slowed once she realized she’d gone on a tangent about the massive beasts. Something in that moment had shifted. Harper stood straighter and stretched her arms forward. Fingers interlocked and palms facing outward, the joints of her hands popped. She rolled her head in a circle, then looked down at him. Nik said, “Shall we move on to the training then?” “Yep, only since you don’t truly understand the concept of gravity, yet. I’m going to have to do a demonstration for you. Gravity Well,” she replied. His legs were suddenly too weak to keep him standing, and his knee slammed hard into the stone floor. A yelp of surprise and pain slipped from his lips. Nik grimaced at the sharp burst of pain that shot through each of his legs from the impact. He’d been unprepared for the increase in weight. His whole body was so heavy, it took considerable effort to even remain uprig
