Elincia's Point of View
The Island
"Typhon Delmaris is safe, Priestess Elincia." General Kheri reported to me. "Sir Arthur deemed it necessary that I inform you that he is alive and well. They have been swimming underwater for the last several hours."
That, once again, made me pause. "Am I to assume that it was without coming up for air?" She nodded. "I see." Taking a breath, I nodded in understanding. "Thank you for informing me. I have been concerned."
"Of course, Priestess." She bowed. "Permission to speak freely?"
Quirking a brow, I looked around and cleared the other guards out before I nodded. "Granted." Continue reading on No_veLbIn
She stood and stared at me in the eyes. "I am concerned about the safety of Typhon Delmaris in Sir Arthur Pendragon's care. Staying underwater seems excessive for the amount of time they did so, and much of the other training is so grueling I wouldn't make most of my soldiers endure it."
"Typhon is a young boy on the edge of starting his journey into manhood. Without magic, I could never stay underwater with him as he explored. While it is concerning, Sir Arthur was with him and keeping a close eye on him." I explained and quickly continued when she opened her mouth to reply. "I will not presume to know how to train one of the Dragon Clan members, as it's never been done. Trust is necessary at this stage, and until Typhon himself comes to ask for my aid, I will trust in him and his teacher."
The General gave me a quick bow. "Yes, Priestess."
"If you feel it necessary, you are more than welcome to keep an eye on the two while we are here."
"He is a hostage!" Arceana shot back.
I shook my head. "I thought the same at first, but it would seem Arthur was honest in his words when he named him his student. Only time will tell. The fact remains that we cannot challenge him unless we wish to show everyone here who would come out on top." A sigh escaped my lips. "Even with everyone present, I doubt we would win. Arthur's power is truly that vast, and I know you know that."
Arceana huffed and looked back up to the sky. "I do not like this, Elincia."
"Neither do I, but it is the hand we gave ourselves. So far, Arthur has been rather honest. Does he have his own secrets? Yes. However, so do we. Working together is our only option now, and I have no intention of doing otherwise. In fact, I think you owe him an apology."
"An apology!? After what he did!?"
"Yes." I replied simply. "I already gave him one, myself. You should do the same. Especially for moving forward."
She fiddled with her scepter. "I will speak to him later. Hopefully, the island will improve his mood regarding me." My sister left and moved back over to our students.
"Not likely." I muttered.
Before I could follow her, a whistling sound started to rise on the wind. My brows furrowed in confusion as many of us looked around to find the source. As it continued, it got louder and louder. Soon, all of us looked to one side where there was a large grouping of trees.
A blur shot through the trees overhead where the bridges connected to some of the homes above. Typhon's cheers of glee could be heard, but the two were gone just as fast as a gust of wind followed in their wake. No one was hurt, and it wasn't strong enough to push anyone from the platforms as they disappeared into the other side of the trees whilst darting about.
My lips went flat as I realized that Arthur had been holding back far more than I assumed once more. His agility, speed, and reaction time to dart through the Island's canopies were unprecedented. Arceana turned to me, and I met her gaze with a knowing look. Arthur could have easily avoided all of my blows with his superior speed alone, but neither of us could push him to do so.
Once again, they were back high up in the sky, hooting and hollering. "At least someone is having fun." Cassidy said as she whistled in an impressed manner.
How could I blame her? Almost everyone else was too, me included. "Indeed."
