Elysium woke to a sharp claw prodding her shoulder, belonging to an elegant dragon stretched out beside her.
I thought you'd never awake, hatchling. You were more lost than a cave bear during winter! Orion teased. At least I don't scare off all the Fanghur with my snores! She retorted. Huffing, Orion went back to roasting a bundle of fruit.
I bet you scared those berries right into your paws! Elysium snorted with amusement. He just snapped his jaws shut and dropped the smaller bundle into her lap. Take a look! She pried open the stiff laves, and an assortment of food fell out; a bit of golden brown Nagra (the dwarves might not be so pleased), a couple loaves of bread, four apples, and one small peanut cookie. She gasped, and swatted Orion gently on the snout. I didn't know you were a cook! She giggled, and Orion raised an eye ridge in indignation. She muttered a short spell, and two loaves of bread leapt up and started to duel. She caught the chunks as they flew away. Much more interesting way of slicing bread! She commented. They both watched it for a few minutes more, then she ended the spell and they both ate a morning ration. Today, we fly to Bromsland. Orion decided. Elysium knew he couldn't wait to see all the other dragons there. She wanted to learn how to do more with her magic than cut bread and heal injuries, and an occasional fighting word or two. Getting up and brushing the crumbs into the flames, she dug a small, non-magic hole and scraped in the ashes. Patting dirt back over, she mounted Orion and they flew to Bromsland.
It's so peaceful up here. Elysium murmured. She knew that Orion agreed, but he was too concentrated on flying to say that himself. The steady beat of his wings made her drowsy, but she recited spells and natural cures to keep her awake. She stopped ever so often to consult Orion about a certain one, but made it through. Eventually, they landed.
