shadow. As the Vorm began melting, he thought to himself that he liked Adria. I could tell Adria knew it because her facial expression was that of astonishment and amusement. I tried to get up and Adria extended her hand and helped me onto my feet. I felt a bit wobbly and almost fell again but Adria held my weight for me.
It was the first time in two months that she and I were this close and I couldn't help but feel blood rushing to my face. Was I sick? Maybe, I felt weak enough to be sick. Then the air becomes cold and the shadows started to give off more energy like they had when my duel stared. This meant I was in serious trouble, and then a tall man stepped out of my shadow.
“Master? Why are you here?” I asked knowing full well why he was here.
“News in the academy travels fast Alex, I heard you had gotten into a fight with the two Noble students from your battlemage class. Of course that alone would not bring me here. But then I sensed a darkness Vorm and that no matter, how far I am, merits my presence.”
“Look whoever you are, it can wait, he and Axcel need to go to the infirmary wing,” said Adria interrupting Master Shadow.
“Sadly little girl I have complete control in all matters regarding our young Dragon Knight and I will not let you dictate them as you please. Now be silent as this does not pertain to you,” said Master. I could tell he was very upset.
Sensing Adria’s reaction I spoke up. “Adria... He is Master Shadow, the Noble darkness dragon who has been teaching me how to become a Dragon Knight. He might look like a man now but that's only because of his magical powers. He says it’s more practical than walking around in his dragon body.”
“It is more practical when I want to walk around without a big crowd around me. You seem to be fine if you can come up with wise remarks. All four of you will come with me,” he said taking notice that Adria was about to protest. “There is a team of healers waiting for us in Sky Dome and they will take care of Alex and Axcel.”
Apology
When we got to the Sky Dome a few healers patched Axcel and I up, although Axcel would have to go to the infirmary later to check his ribs. Master appeared in his dragon form and ordered us to go to the fountain in the center of the dome.
I had never been to this part of the dome. It was made out of glass and white stones and you could see the entire Dragon Hold from up here. In the center was the fountain. It was made out of white marble and seemed to get its water from magic because I couldn't see any pipes or running water anywhere close to it. A very complex spell must power it. If that’s true, it must be very old.
“The reason I brought you four here is simple and completely unrelated to what happened today.” He took a pause and looked up as if praying to something, an outlandish idea considering dragons don’t believe in any deity. This worried me as it was unusual for Master to pause. “Two more Dragon Knights have been discovered in the academies of Halla and Dextra. One is a noble and the other is a commoner. Axcel, I brought you here because you are a Noble and unlike most, you are not arrogant, self-centered or incredibly stupid. You also happen to be an exceptional mage. I need you to keep the other Nobles in the Academy away from her. Given the history between your families, I won’t ask you to interact with her, but you have to make sure to keep other Nobles away.”
“So it’s a her ? This is going to be a troublesome job Lord Shadow, but I shall try my best,” said Axcel.
“Good, now Max I need you to be the commoner’s friend since she will be assisting your classes. You are to help, and if need be, protect her. I know I am asking a lot from you and I don’t even know you, therefore I will also have Alex start attending healing classes. She had already begun training in the
