Dragon Savior A New Beginning ( Update Version)

Echoes of a Restless Mind (165)

As they spread out and resumed their training, she felt a sense of unity forging between them, a bond that would not easily break. The fight ahead may be daunting, but at least she wouldn't face it alone.

Starfania responded with a confident smile and a nod, locking eyes with Aeron. Without hesitation, they launched into a fierce sword fight, their blades striking with resounding force. Aeron was quick–his movements precise and calculated–but Starfania was faster. She pressed forward, forcing him on the defensive, but he expertly still managed to attack. Violet was sitting on the bench watching as her brother and Starfania went at it. While the dragon flew around the area, blasting at their targets. Also honing their skills along with their owners, but also turning it into a friendly competition. Then, with a swift and calculated strike, Starfania knocked Aeron blade from his grip, claiming victory.

A beat of silence passed between them before they broke into a laughter, the thrill of training still pulsing through their veins. The sound of gentle applause reached their ears, drawing their attention to Violet and Lyam, who had been quietly watching from the sidelines. Both Starfania and Aeron walked closer to them while their dragon slowly descended walking behind them. Then Starfania looked at Lyam and said with a smile. " How long have you been there? "

Lyam's grin widened.

" Long enough to witness this. " he said. His expression was filled with admiration as he added, " I must admit, this is the first time I get to witness the Dragon Savior skill and, of course, her friends as well. Cantina at least chose right with someone who already has combat skills. "

Then, shifting his gaze toward Aeron, Lyam asked. " I must admit, I'm impressed with your skill as well. As you know, I am gathering a small squadron to stop VulcanFire before they release their poison. With your skills and Starfania strength as the Dragon Savior. This should be a walk in the park. "

Aeron stiffened slightly, surprised by the sudden proposal. However, he was quick to deny it because he had to take care of his sister, Violet.

"That's very generous, but I can't," Aeron replied, his voice steady but tinged with regret. "Violet needs me. She's been through so much, and I can't leave her now."

Lyam nodded, understanding flickering in his eyes. "I get it. Family comes first. But just know, our fight against VulcanFire is crucial for everyone. Their poison won't just affect the battlefield; it could poison entire towns."

Before Aeron could respond, Violet stepped forward, her expression filled with understanding.

" I'll stay behind, " she said, without hesitation. " They need you brother. Your bond with Drogo makes you powerful beyond other dragon riders. "

Aeron's heart twisted as he looked at his sister. He hated the thought of leaving her, even for a noble cause. "But what if something happens to you, Violet? I can't take that risk."

Violet shook her head, her determination shining through. "I can handle myself. I've learned a lot from you, and I won't be alone. I promise to be careful."

Lyam glanced between them, sensing the weight of the moment. "We need every strong rider we can get. VulcanFire won't wait for us to be ready."

Aeron bit his lip, weighing his options. He had trained hard to ride with Drogo, forming a bond that felt unbreakable. The thought of stepping away made his chest tighten.

"You really believe in me, don't you?" he asked quietly.

"Of course I do," Violet replied firmly. "And I'll be waiting right here, cheering you on. You can do this."

He took a deep breath, feeling the weight of her faith in him. "Okay, I'll do it. But promise me you'll stay safe, Violet. Promise me you won't push yourself too hard."

"I promise," she said, giving him a small smile that eased his worries. He could feel her strength, even in this moment of doubt. It was time to fight for more than just their family—it was time to fight for everyone. Aeron straightened his shoulders, determination flooding through him. "Alright, let's go take down VulcanFire."
