Know Your Destiny

"Greetings, little vampire. I'm surprised to see you here. If I'm right, and I usually am, you weren't supposed to come for another six months." His deep voice reverberated off the rock walls, and a few bats flew up and out of the cave.

Though I sensed this was the same chamber, it had changed over the thousands of years since I was here with Silindra.

The most noticeable difference was the large opening above our heads into the darkened sky.

Wispy clouds lazily coasted by.

Moonbeams filtered in and, while they didn't reach all the way down, they still bathed the cavern in a little light.

The dragon shook his yellow mane, like a lion after a long slumber, and the chamber lit up as if it were noon on a bright, sunny day.

"Hello, Abernathy." I was surprised he knew so much about me.

Would he be angry, I became the Seal?

Did he already know? He said he was waiting. I took a step forward. "You know who I am?"

He smacked his chops, his teeth clinking together.
