They had continued their discussion, talking about a few things and catching up, and quickly both of them realized how much catching up they needed to do. That aside, it didn't take long before they were called into the chamber, where the grand cavern carved into the heart of one of the tallest peak in the dragon lands was, and where the elders gathered.
Lance and Aelyndra stood at the center of the chamber, surrounded by the council of dragon elders. Their massive forms loomed above, each one radiating an aura of ancient power. Elder Thoryx, who often spoke for the council, began, his molten eyes fixed on Lance.
"You have come far, human," he began, his deep voice echoing through the minds of all. "When you first arrived in our lands, there were doubts about your worth. But you have proven yourself through multiple means."
Lance inclined his head respectfully. "I've only done what I thought was right," he said. "But I'm honored by your words."
