SIX: Preparations

Itzae went on to explain to the young child that he was a warrior with strength and intellect far beyond any normal human. 

The Young Lord Calix was the legendary warrior that must stand beside the dragon to once again unite the continent. 

And that was why he must first take the Serin throne.

"But you said yourself that I can't fix the continent with only my own power," Calix mused after listening to his teacher's explanation.

Itzae looked at the child and grinned. "That's why I'm going to find you a dragon."

Calix's eyes widened and he drew a sharp breath in.

"Is it possible?" he asked softly.

"Four years ago, I heard there was a beautiful golden-haired princess born in Mevani," the man answered. "I've been establishing a place there for myself in order to get close to the royal family."

Ah, so that's what he'd been doing while he was away from home.

Calix smiled to himself.
