235 – A Sealed Box

The Dragon Queen and Prince Uno turned up after a few days with a ton of bags full of gifts – mostly for the babies.

"Are you showing signs of dark magic?" the Dragon Queen asked Fang as soon as she saw him. "Is Rhea showing any signs?"

"I don't know," Fang said honestly.

"Rhea had a burst of magic similar to Daddy's when she was born," Ray spoke up. "But after that, she hasn't shown any signs of magic at all."

The Dragon Queen sighed. "I'd hoped it won't come to this," she murmured. "The original royals of the Valley Kingdom did possess dark magic, but it was a well-kept secret. Your mother told me about it because she was worried that either Una or you may inherit it from her side of the family. She had a bit of dark magic herself, but it wasn't very powerful. At most, it could be used for small, everyday things. Una doesn't have any dark magic at all – hers is entirely from our side of the family."
