Chapter 4

Aedan's POV

After our emotional episode Lizzy took me inside to show me the ropes. She really got into it when she was explaining her research process to me. It was honestly kind of sexy.

My job for the day was to observe her and to occasionally hand her a book. That left me with plenty of time to explore Lizzy's office space. She had plenty of interesting books and a lot of weird instruments. One I recognized as a scale and another was a sundial.

Something else caught my eye though, it was a deep green stone, about half the size of my head. I hadn't noticed it last time I was in here, but then I had been distracted by all the books. I picked it up, and looked it over. It really was beautiful. I wondered what Lizzy used it for. Then it was snatched out of my hands.

"Be careful with that! Do you want to be cursed?" Lizzy cried.

"Sorry. I didn't realize it was dangerous. What is it?" I asked.

"I don't know yet. Some soldiers found it and then weird things started to happen to whoever handled it too much. It was brought to me so I could try to figure out what it is."

"Okay. I promise I won't touch it anymore." I said.

"Good. Why don't you go downstairs and fix something for dinner?"

"Sure, I was starting to get hungry anyway."

I went downstairs and looked in the pantry again. Really, the only thing to make was soup. I put a couple cans in a pot over the fireplace and waited. When it was done I put it in some bowls and went upstairs to get Lizzy.

Lizzy's POV

After Aedan left I couldn't concentrate on my work. I decided to go up to the roof and see if I could spot the dragon again. I was still sitting there when Aedan started calling.

"Lizzy! Dinner is ready! I made soup..."

Just as he opened the door the dragon swooped by. I jumped up excitedly but it flew away quickly. I looked back to Aedan, disappointed, and saw a shocked look on his face.

"Was... was that an actual dragon?" he choked out.

I nodded. "It lives on the island somewhere. Didn't I tell you about it?"

"No, no not really. Do you mind?"

"Not at all. Let's go inside, it's chilly out here."

When we got inside we sat on my bed and I explained how I had discovered the dragon and had slowly been trying to befriend it. we had made some progress but not much, especially considering I was a Pyromancer. We were supposed to have a strong connection with dragons. I expressed this concern to Aedan and of course he had an answer.

"I've read that dragons can see inside your soul. If you're holding back, not being honest with yourself, it can sense that you don't trust yourself. If you don't trust you, how can it?" he explained.

"I guess that makes sense..."

"Let's go downstairs. The soup is probably cold."

After dinner I went back to the roof, this time to think. I guess I had been lying to myself in some ways. I thought that I could live by myself forever but I really liked having Aedan there. I realized that I had been lonely before he came. It was nice to have company.

It began to get really cold but I didn't want to move. The stars were beautiful and it was a full moon. I didn't realize Aedan had come up until I felt a blanket around my shoulders. I immediately felt warm and snuggled up to him when he sat down next to me. We just sat there in silence for a while until we saw the dragon fly across the full moon. It was one of the most beautiful sights I had ever seen. Once it had gone we began to talk.

"Do you know if it's a boy or a girl?" Aedan asked.

"It's a girl." I said.

"Have you come up with a name for her?"

"I thought about it and I like the name Saphyra the best. It's very majestic."

Aedan smiled. "I like that name too."

Aedan's POV

After we gave the dragon a name Lizzy fell asleep. I didn't want to wake her so I carried her inside. Her bed wasn't made so I was able to tuck her in. She looked so beautiful when she was asleep, I just wanted to stare at her all night. I knew I couldn't so I went downstairs.

I changed into shorts and a t-shirt and checked the fire before going to bed. I lay awake for a while, thinking about my feelings for Lizzy. They were different from any other feelings I had ever had. They felt similar to how I had felt about my little sister, Violet. But they also felt a little like how I had felt for my friends back in Ravenwood. I stopped trying to think because I was confusing myself. I eventually drifted off and slept fitfully.
