Aelyndra stepped forward, her presence adding to the gathering's strength. The Wyvern King's gaze shifted to her, and recognition sparked in its eyes. "You…" it rumbled, its tone shifting from curiosity to surprise. "You are the young dragon I encountered a few years ago during your travels with a human."
Aelyndra nodded, her voice confident yet respectful, a faint smile on her face. "I am, Your Majesty. And this—" she gestured to Lance, "—is the same human. Though, as you can see, he is far from what he once was."
The Wyvern King's eyes widened slightly, its gaze returning to Lance with renewed interest. "So, the frail human boy has become… this."
Its words carried a mix of admiration and disbelief. "You are a special existence in this era, it seems. Few could withstand the changes you've undergone and emerge stronger for it. Hahaha, truly a blessing."
