With the words goodbye I was whisked out of the room. Although, I hadn't expected to be. I was only grateful that I didn't not stick around to see Gray's reaction. He set me down softly as if I would break. "Kira," before Doranbolt could speak another word. I pulled him close to me and began to cry into his chest. He gently placed his arms around me and embraced me.
For many years now, Doranbolt was my mentor. He knew more about me than anyone else. He knew more about me than I did. He helped me get into the Magic Council. For only a few months he had been more than a mentor. He'd been my boyfriend. When I was sent on this mission he worried for me because of my previous involvement with Gray. He was the one who sent the canary. He was also the person who gave me my first canary. It was a symbol for us.
Doranbolt had kept my secret for so long and I knew he always would unless I instructed trained me to be stronger, to take care of myself. So well that I had become not only a respected wizard on the council but one all over Fiore. I was one of the 10 wizard saints, I could have easily beaten Gray... but I didn't.
My eyes fluttered open hestitanly. I noticed my surroundings and I was thankful for that. I rolled over to see Doranbolt still sleeping. I smiled and waited for him to awake. Watching him awaken was heartwarming. His eyes began to open, "Goodmorning." he spoke.
"Morning sleepy head." was my come back. Normally I was the last to wake up so he always got to do this... watch me wake. It was nice to have such a change. I propped myself up to lean my head against the headboard. I had come so far in life... from being a lost wandering child, to being a student of Ur, to being kidnapped, to being saved by the winter dragon, to this.. Yes, I said dragon. I, Kira James, am a Dragon Slayer. But I didn't become one until after I met Ur, Gray and Lyon. The Snow White magnificent beast saved me. I always chose to call her Snow White and she treated me as her own... until the end.
"Deep in thought?" Doranbolt's voice snapped me out of my thoughts.
I nodded. That was the secret only Doranbolt knew. That's how I made the arena freeze and snow fall from the sky. "You could have told him." Doranbolt spoke up.
Once again I nodded, I could have but I didn't. "I think there are enough Dragon Slayers in that guild." I managed a chuckle. Of course, I didn't just use Dragon Slayer Magic. I used the Maker Magic Ur taught me.
