"How long was i out of it? Its all one big...mush dream yknow?" he said but then smiled.

He sat down flopping as he did so.

"Im sorry ive been so weird about things." he said.

"Now...im starving...and i want to see my fiancee"

"Hm...well i kind of want to surprise her." he said.

"I can just rustle something up in the kitchen" he added with a smile

"Its no bother" he finished and pulled over to Ryker to give him a hug.

With that, he got up and limped his way to the doorway.

He gives a warm wave.

"They did. I looked but...i want to share it with everyone" he said warmly.

He had more scales on him than there used to be, but Eke was treating them like a trophy rather than a negative.

He limped to the kitchen and started rooting around for food.

'How are you and Arissa?" he asked head in the fridge.

He then started making quite a bit of food for himself.

After all that time being bogged down, and the scare he put everyone through, he seemed...healthier.

"Im glad..." he said smiling gently

He sat down with his mountain of food, eating.

"Oh...yeah i should check on work." he murmured.

"Oh thats right...Savra, you siad you'd tell me more about my dad. Arissa has already told me quite a bit, but another perspective cant hurt"

"I cant imagine him being that...adventurous..." he said.

"I mean...well i...hm...ive never been strong enough to really SAVE anyone" he mused eating

"What else was he like? "

"I...dont use as much sweet stuff anymore but...thats...pretty cool" he said smiling taking a bite.

"He sounds like a smart man..." he said wistfully.

He stretched, his yawns sounding more like roars now.

"Hm?" he asked tilting his head.

"I...i hope i can make him proud with what i do" he said smiling

"Well i...actually what DID happen to me?" he asked

"I know iw as out of it...and i was really sick but...what actually happened"

"Whos Therius?" he asked tilting his head.

"And i heard of that. Basically a dragon reaching maturity as a dragon" he said

"Thats what i remember...not sure if im right..."

Eke raised a brow.

"Maybe...cause i was...delirous? From what i understand.." he said softly.

He finishes his food and stretches again.

"I...need air." he said getting up.

"Maybe a fly. I havent flown in a little while...not since i had to fight my dad" he said.

He didnt seem to be hung up on the fight with his undead father anymore.

"Yeah i just need to stretch my wings, feel the freedom a bit" he said getting up.

"I wont be long...maybe half an hour" he added and went out back.

He hadnt stopped smiling since he spoke with Ryker.

He looks at his scaled hands feeling the breeze before he transformed.

He was bigger than he used to be in his dragon form, almost up to normal size.

He...was a little too big for the backyard, but he could still easily take off.

And take off he did.

Arissa took Ryker's hand.

"He's grown up quite a bit hasnt he?"
