Astrid’s Last: Drakonix

Was it possible for Vinn to ask her tears to stop flowing? Because they would not stop. Like a waterfall, they kept on spilling, staining her cheeks with wetness.

How foolish of her to think that she had finally hardened her heart. How foolish of her to think that she was now unfeeling.

Vinn finally found the courage to dislodge her leg from the floor, stepping forward to Astrid. She outstretched her arms, touching the dragon's eyes. She thought of a spell, and nothing came to her.

In truth, she had trained so hard with Marenda over the years, but the rigorous exercises had only served to show Vinn how pitifully small her sorcery powers were. Besides contouring a few powerful shields and performing some meager spells that could only be termed trickery, Vinn truly knew not much more.
