Sorceress 87 Boy & Dragon

"Mom," He said quietly but coolly. Speranza turned her gaze to her baby boy. Her resolution to go and scan the area growing. She needed to make the best decision for him.

Biting her lower lip as she tried to regain her emotions and calm her voice.

She did not want to let him see her anxious, in any case, the boy depended on her clear judgement since he was no longer around if he was she knows it would never get down to this dilemma.

Arkalat always was resolute and crisp and clear in his actions and decisions. If only he was here she wouldn't be dying in anxiousness.

Closing her eyes a moment to clear her head as she answered softly trying to restrain her voice from trembling. A simple "yes" was all she mastered to answer her son.

How could they not see the aura of pain and loneliness she had? The highly bright boy could not possibly miss his mom sadness, it seems he would need to coax her a little he hated it when she looked like this and it normally was because she missed his father. "Mom" the boy walked to her and wrapped his arms around her waist hugging her tightly looking up at her with a soft smile that he only reserved for her only.

Placing her hand on his head gently patting it slowly brus.h.i.+ng his wild and rebellious strands.

Looking at his blood red eyes that he had gotten from his dad and his fire red hair looking like a fire imp as he smiled cheekily now.

She could not help but curl her lips unconsciously as he sorrow washed away like that.

"Mom could I borrow a recording crystal, Bast said he would teach me some more complex moves and I'd like to record it to watch later see if there are things I might miss.

Bast furrowed his brow since when that little freak needed recordings? But it was true, the movement held now long combinations that could all mist matched together and it couldn't hurt for that little ancestor to have material on hand to look at in his free time. After all, they did not know how long the peace would last.

Unconvinced at first but now that he reasoned it seems he too could find it reasonable to make recordings the day after.

Seeing Bast also agreed with the idea even if one of those crystals were priceless it could be used as study material later for him if they ever get separated.

In any case, rather be more prepared than sorry.

Speranza Nodded moving to her room to get the crystal and on second thought she would hand him a pendant stacked with items ranging from potions to magical arms pa.s.sing through necessities. If something happened to her he would need them to survive.

Coming with a total of four crystals in hand and handing them to her son.

"Here sweetheart, Mommy also has a gift that comes from your grandparents while they are no longer with us." her smile turned slightly sad and longing all her loved one had left her. She would stop at nothing to protect what she had left. But the others where right she could not leave at night day time the undead would sleep and be unable to move to make it the ideal time to a.s.sess the situation.

Placing the pendant around her son's neck she smiled. She had been around the same age when her father had gifted her the pendant. Now she would use it to protect her son in her stead.

All moved to bed soon after they had plans to layout with a lot on the plates to chew on.

In the middle of the night, a small boy and a dragon made there way out unnoticed by the others there shadow disappearing into the night blending with it.
