Rose sighed, sitting down on an old tree stump.
'Are we in the right place? I thought a dragon would be easy enough to find, but he's rather elusive, it seems.' She said, pushing down her white mage's hood.
'Well, this is the only forest for miles, it's gotta be the right one! King Leon wouldn't send us in the wrong direction, right?' Edward said, stretching his arms behind his head.
'I was wondering that. Why did he send us, of all people? Two apprentice castle mages? He has warriors of the highest caliber at his beck and call, people much more capable than we...' Rose murmured, twirling a strand of her brown hair between her fingers.
'Maybe it's 'cause the dragon only talks to kids! And only 'cause he wants to eat 'em afterwards!' Edward said, baring his teeth at his sister.
'Maybe...' The girl said absent-mindedly, 'anyhow, we must press on. Regardless of the reasons for our errand, we must perform it as best we can.' The white mage said decisively, standing up and continuing through the forest.
'You think he's really that strong though? Can he really help us against the Ilyanians? Their kingdom is waaaay bigger than ours, and their knights are even stronger than King Leon's best...' Edward said thoughtfully.
'I believe he can. The legends say he is mighty in both power and appearance, a beast built exquisitely well and endowed with powers beyond human knowledge. I believe he can save us. If we can convince him, that is. Which is why you should let me do all the talking!' Rose finished, narrowing her eyes at her brother.
