Summary
In which the Lady Aranessa Royce decides what that name is going to mean now, Sir Julien Davinos finds out what kind of man he is when it matters, and some remnant of Thjazi Fang is not ready to leave this world quite yet.
ch. v
Julien is not tall enough to be wearing this armour but somehow he can still move in it, so that’s fine. It’s not his fault if he’s never seen anything smaller before. He’s really trying to think about it but he’s not sure how exactly that would work, so nothing on it changes.
Above him, coiled scales rise and rise and keep rising.
It can’t go bad if it isn’t real. The dragon roars, and he hefts his ornate and frankly oversized broadsword up in both hands and roars right back, loud and fierce and joyous. It’s not that he forgets the whole thing, later on. He just forgets the part where he asked for that one specifically, and who he asked.
Around the age of eight or nine, his dreams get less interesting. He puts it down to growing up. A lot of things get worse as you grow up, he is learning that.
