Chapter 9
-Talos' POV-
I guess this is goodbye for good. As I watched Trent walk out of the temple I couldn't help but feel like I had something I owed him. I know he will never admit it, but he is the sole reason I am no longer an exiled dragon in Spero. I looked back at Iuris who simply nodded at me. I guess she knew what I was going do. I waved my paw at her and went after Trent. As I took off, I looked up and saw him flying high in the air. I climbed to his altitude and stayed a little behind him. As we were flying, I noticed we were on our way to Warfang. 'Why is he going there?' I thought. I saw Trent land in the courtyard of the city and walk to the west of the town. I decided to land and follow him. As we were walking, I noticed a gated area coming into view and a few grey stones sticking out of the ground. Once we got closer I noticed that we were approaching a graveyard. Trent walked inside and began searching through the rows of graves until he found the one he was looking for. I decided to stay a row behind him and listen to what he had to say. "Hey honey," He began, "I'm sorry I was a little late to say I survived the explosion. I kind of got caught in the future. Well, I'm here now and that is all that matters. Crystal, I…I really miss you, and if there is one thing this adventure has taught me it is this. I can't see myself living without you, just as how you couldn't live without me." He paused and took a deep breath. "Oh uh, I almost forgot. I found your journal in our old room. I figured that since we don't use it anymore that you would want to have it back." Trent then pulled out the book he had in his bag and leaned it against the tombstone and put his paw on it. "I'll see you again soon." Trent then perked his ears up. "I see you have something else to say." He said to me. I walked up to him.
"Actually I did. I wanted to ask if I could come with you. I know you made sure I could live a normal life in Spero again, but I really don't feel like I belong there. Besides I still owe you for making me a free dragon in the first place." I told him. Trent then crushed a red stone and a vortex opened in front of me. Trent then walked to the edge of the portal and turned back to me.
"Well then, feel free to come along. I don't mind one bit." He told me. He then gestured his paw at the portal and I walked up to it. We then both stepped through the portal. I can't wait to see what the past holds.
