The following day, a dragon soared across the skies of the Northern Region. As soon as it landed before the palace gates, it transformed into a human.
A young man in his early twenties stood there with a triumphant smile. Not long afterward, the palace doors opened, and as always, Evelyne was the first to rush out and welcome her family home.
"Klau!" She spread her arms wide as she ran toward her eldest son.
Klaude laughed as he embraced his mother warmly. "I'm home, Mother."
"Congratulations. You finally have your own dragon form."
When he lifted his head, he saw his younger brother approaching. Caelis was smiling broadly, looking as proud as though he himself had awakened his inner beast. "I knew you'd do it before everyone else. My brother really is amazing."
Klaude laughed and wrapped an arm around Caelis's shoulders after he reached his side. "I'm sure you'll surpass me. So, when are you leaving?"
