Torin the dragon rider (TOME 12 of the TIAMAT'S WARS SERIE)

The blade of brilliance.

Valtrax and Rubix had put themselves in a dry corner of the den and she let me "play" with treasure chests with scrolls and grimoires as well as many items set in gems and gold.

There was a national treasure here and that was just the part she gave me to keep me busy.

I could hear roars and grunts that I didn't understand but the 2 dragons were in the middle of a "discussion".

Meanwhile, I was looking at the warlord's grimoires and I realized that it was the treasure and the notes of Exodus. A treasure among treasures. But the gold didn't really interest me.

In the meantime:

Rubix: "Goddess Valtrax. It is an honor to serve you...."

"My child... I see that you love Torin very much... but is it Torin that you love or what he is?"

The question was treacherous and deep. The young dragoness did not have the subtlety of her elder

"You're not going to eat me? I slept against Torin..."

"HAHAHA... My little one...I'm not jealous but Torin hasn't understood anything and he can't. He's hurt...And it's my fault...."

You can speak his language and that's a feat. I feel that you have noble dragon blood like Exodus.

You are not a descendant but let's say... a cousin...

Exodus certainly had brothers and sisters and it is rare that there is only one brood...I want you to learn as much as you can and humanize yourself as much as possible. You are a dragoness and you will remain one, but Torin will one day undergo an abominable ordeal. He can't stay that way, but his healing will be devastating and he'll need you more than ever.

You will be the only one to support him and I count on you to never abandon him.

It will be hard my child but I will always be there to protect and support you. There are forces at work and take advantage of your youth to have happy moments.

Afterwards, there will be no turning back...

Rubix: "What if one day I carry eggs from him?"

Valtrax looked back at her. "Don't worry my child...."

Rubix : "But there are two humans who want to marry him...!"

Valtrax : "He has dragon blood and he will know how to choose. Trust me... but concubinage also exists in our house... I was not the only wife of Exodus. The others perished but don't worry. Sometimes we are happy that he has concubines...And there is nothing like a blood tie to look after each other. But, you must know what you want, Rubix...This is the blade of Brilliance. I can't use it, but it's a very powerful artifact that can heal Torin or open the door to Thor, the ultimate dragon. This is Exodus' child... and my child too. He has been sealed with this dagger. When Torin is a true dragon rider, he must be sacrificed to the dagger to free Thor. In the meantime, this is your mission. Protect Torin no matter what. You can love him. The dagger just needs to be driven in. Torin will surely survive it. It's designed to liberate but not to kill."

Then the dragons came back to eat with me. I didn't get it, but Rubix was in high spirits. But she didn't understand everything Valtrax was telling her. She was too young, too small.

Rubix: "TOrrrrrin... valtrrrraxxxxx loveeerrrr you very much...."

I smiled and hugged my friend...

Rubix : "Torrin not understand.... Valtrax.... mom Torin!!! "

I don't get it!!!

Rubix: "Valtrax not jealous!"

and Rubix grabbed me and belted me in surprise and kissed me! She quickly pulled back out of fear. And Valtrax was lying smiling!
