   "This is Althea."

A soft smile full of emotion broke out onto Reina's lips when Reyes opened up the miniature cage he brought the tiny gold dragon in. When Reina found out that Reyes had brought the five little dragons along with him for Reina to see, she was filled with joy and excitement.

In addition to that, it was often traditional for heads of houses to bring along the animals that their sigils represented, a show of power. They all knew the dragon was the most powerful. Harry had his pet lion, Fang, Louis Tomlinson had his eagle, Tyron, Liam Payne had his bear, Robart, Kirsten Mikkelson had her boa constrictor, Anari and lastly Reina had Althea, the golden baby dragon.

"Oh Reyes, she's beautiful," Reina whispered in awe, gazing at the curious little animal with a heart full of love. "And feisty!"

Reina chuckled a little when Althea hissed at Fredric who stood nearby, causing him to stare back with wide eyes and take a step behind, away from the tiny dragon. Reina called out to get Althea's attention, before reaching out to pet her. Althea narrowed her brown eyes and bared her teeth at Reina's hand, before she caught a whiff of her scent and relaxed her features. Fredric watched in awe as the tiny dragon immediately warmed up to the Queen and leaned into her touch. She made an affectionate noise as Reina stroked her gold scaled head, before laying her palm flat for the baby to crawl onto.

"She seems to like you better than me," Reyes teased a little, watching the two interact. "It's because Aella lives within her."

The sudden mentioning of their deceased grandmother struck a nerve inside of Reina, causing her smile to falter momentarily. Reyes grimaced ever so lightly, regretting what he said before he saw Reina smiling sadly and looking down at the dragon, speaking to it quietly in the foreign tongue as if she were speaking to Aella. Reyes watched her pitifully, hating how she had lost their grandmother and her dragon around the same time. His gaze shifted to her pregnant belly, wondering if any of her grief had affected the babies. She hadn't been writing to him as much as she used to and it worried him immensely, he didn't really know how she was doing.
