Frozen Mountain [3]

"Why did you choose to believe me? I could've lied, you know."

Brandon was led up the mountain's slope.

Wyvern's freely traversed the air around them. However, they completely ignored the two.

"Because of that."

The wyvern pointed at the necklace around Brandon's neck.

"Oh."

Brandon gently held on to the crystalline pendant—shaped to a letter 'B.'

"I knew there was something behind the scenes when I sensed my wife's power emanating from it."

"Aurelia's mother…. An elf?"

"Correct."

"What happened? And how did Aurelia come into the state that she is?"

"...."

The wyvern merely shook his head dismissively, a sorrowful smile etching on his face.

"It's a long story. A story I had long put in the back of my mind."

"I see."

Now that he had realized it, he had never asked for the wyvern's name.

"By the way, I'm Brandon Locke."

"Androxus."

Short and simple.
