“That was so cool,” the boy panted, Sol Regem snorted.įrom there they flew low to the ground, the archdragon broadening his senses for the familiarness of his post. Once they exited the ashey clouds Callum took a great gasping breath of fresh air, practically collapsing onto the dragon’s neck. Concerned, the dragon was quick to angle his wings and glide away from the magma flow as quickly as possible, rumbling a soothing noise to the child. The boy began to wheeze and cough harshly, his eyes watering at the burn. The thick ash and pyroclastic residue in the sky began to affect Callum after a few minutes, however. They were close to the ground as well so he would have no time to try and do so anyway. Without sight, Sol Regem would have no way of catching the boy if he fell. He felt the human lean over the side of his neck to get a better look and growled at the boy to not do so. Callum had gasped loudly at the sight of the lava river and if the sun dragon slowed down his flight so that the boy could admire the magma flow for just a few minutes… well, he would deny it with his entire being. The two of them had crossed the border just as the sun slipped past the horizon. Perhaps he should drop the human into the sound and just head back home? No… the dragon thinks that his conscience would come to nag him about it later if he did. Maybe the human had a contagion of some sort and had infected Sol Regem. Such a simple sentence and sent him scrambling and that was an uncomfortable feeling for the usually austere drake.
He had not been annoyed at the human but at himself. The child had started to apologize over and over again and buried himself deep in the gold dragon’s fur and started to mumble words Sol Regem could not make out into his fur. Only to be told as they hovered hundreds of feet above the sound of Katolis by a suddenly hasty Callum that it was not important. But when Callum had sadly mentioned that he did not have his blanket with him, the dragon had abruptly flared his wings and stopped them mid-flight with something like panic in his stomach. The sun dragon had never jumped to conclusions like that before. He was flying blind, quite literally, and felt a strange twist of nervousness in his gut.īut alas Sol Regem had learned that the human’s blankie was not a necessity (at least an emergency one) and his nervousness had turned into annoyance. Not to mention his blindness added on a whole new layer of difficulty to this task he had unthinkingly set upon himself. Did not know if they brat would drop dead if he ate something particular, didn’t know if there were specific things he needed to know. Thinking that perhaps this blankie was a necessity for the human child and nearly turned back to go and try to find this mystery item. He knew humans and elves alike liked to collect things however and would have their own little hoards of rudimentary items that held no purpose.īut he did not know which of these items was actually a necessity so when Callum had expressed distress at not having a ‘ blankie’ whilst they were flying over open water, nearly halfway to the border… Sol Regem had panicked. They slept when they were tired and hunted when they were hungry, and did not carry belongings with them. Unlike humans, dragons lived very frugal lifestyles (the myth of hoards was sorely exaggerated, dragons did not covet human treasures). He is not so prideful as to admit that humans do have redeeming qualities - as few and far between as they may be. If he did not know better he would think that a creature without magic would not be able to build and thrive as humans have. If there is one thing Sol Regem can say in respect to humans is their creativity and resourcefulness. The danger of humans comes in the sheer number of them and the strange people machines they create in lieu of spells. Even the adults are nearly as helpless as a newborn hatchling, but even baby dragons are able to utilize magic just days after they hatch to protect themselves. And are soft and squishy, with no armor, no claws, and no fangs to protect themselves. He does not think he is capable of being a suitable guardian for a hatchling, let alone one who is not a dragon.
Sol Regem was a warrior, a king he was not a caretaker. He knew absolutely nothing of the more delicate aspects of humans - and that included raising and care of their children. To say that Sol Regem was completely unprepared for taking care of a human child would be an understatement. Not Just Human Stats: Published: Updated: Words: 41,646 Chapters: 9/?
