Meanwhile, back at Haven Forest, Cora couldn't believe how Apollo and Aurum seemed so close now. Perhaps it was because when Cora opened up to Apollo about her hesitation to accept being Aurum's dragonrider, Apollo coaxed Aurum, telling the dragon he would help ease Cora's doubts.
"So, Aurum, what do you say? How about we go out with Lady Cora and have a quiet walk in the serene part of the forest? Maybe Lady Cora just needs some good ambiance around her to realize the opportunity she's about to miss if she delays forming that dragon bond with you?" Apollo suggested.
Right then, Aurum excitedly flapped his wings, causing everything light inside Cora's tent to fly everywhere.
