"there's nothing wrong with asking for help every now and then" Nyx said, "You're gonna come across things that even you can't do when fully grown."

[Aristocles]

Toby smiled at that thought. "True, but very little can stand against a fully-grown dragon. For now, you are right, Nyx. I'm not fully grown. I don't even know my true name."

[MarshiestMallow]

"You still wouldn't have been stumped to get rid of that Mage in the cave even if you were fully grown-how would you have fitted?" Nyx said

[Aristocles]

Toby smiled, baring his fangs. "If a cave is too small, a fully-grown dragon can simply break the walls until it's big enough."

"I think he'll be fine now" Larek assured Nyx. "I suppose we should leave you two to rest. We need to get back to our egg. Thanks for everything, both of you!"

[MarshiestMallow]

Nyx nodded standing, gathering her things "okay"

[Aristocles]

They used the gate stone and were soon back on the farm. Larek opened the door to their house and went to check on the egg.

[MarshiestMallow]

Nyx took her gear off, putting it aside for now, before following to check the egg

[Aristocles]

Larek set his sword down, and put his dagger down as well. "How's the egg doing, love?"

[MarshiestMallow]

Nyx smiled, "All appears well" She said

[Aristocles]

"Good" he replied, yawning. "Now, I think we both need some rest after all that."

[MarshiestMallow]

Nyx nodded, "I agree" She said

[Aristocles]

They headed upstairs. Larek changed into his loincloth and got the bed ready for them. "That was some pretty good fighting, my love."

[MarshiestMallow]

Nyx smiled as she changed, "I just thought I wasn't going to have us die there, when we have an egg at home. And he was easy to fight. Too confident in what he could do, without having any idea just what he could do. And I didn't even get close. Just threw my daggers"

[Aristocles]

"He was an idiot. A rich, powerful, clueless idiot with way too much power" Larek said, yawning. "Even so, he was dangerous. You did well to stop him." As Larek climbed into bed, a projection of Aerta appeared. It floated in the air near the bed, appearing much like Aerta herself, save for a faint blue-white glow around its edges and the fact that it was somewhat translucent.

"Oh! Sorry! I'm not disturbing anything, am I?" Most dracons would have been surprised to see a projection suddenly appear in their room, but Larek was used to it. His mother had done this before, when he was supposed to have been doing his homework as a child. He had been sent to school for only a few years, with the remainder of his studies being taught by hired teachers or by Aerta herself. He had thought all children went through this until she had explained otherwise.

"No, mother. I was just about to rest, but I can stay awake if you need to speak"

"That's fine. I'm with Danae and Jammy now. We're discussing a family meeting"

[MarshiestMallow]

Nyx looked up at this. Nyx supposed she should be surprised at this projection, but decided after what she had seen of magic, it wasn't really anything of a surprise. When Aerta said she was with her mother, she shifted, said, "My mother? A family meeting sounds good" She would enjoying seeing all her siblings

[Aristocles]

"Good to hear it, Nyx" Aerta replied. The image floated around, getting a better view of the couple. Aerta could see them at the other end as if she was actually standing next to them. "You two look like you were in some sort of fight with a mage. Did anything happen?"

[MarshiestMallow]

"We were. Not with a very good one though" Nyx said, shrugged, "stopped him from completely wiping out a village"

[Aristocles]

"Well, that's good to hear" Aerta replied.

"It was some... what were those? Extra-dimensional lights." Larek told his mother.

Aerta was surprised to hear that. "I've been detecting some unusual activity lately... but I didn't think it would threaten a settlement in our plane."

[MarshiestMallow]

"Apparently it did, with the use of a crystal thing" Nyx said,

[Aristocles]

"Can you describe it?" Aerta asked. Larek did so and Aerta sighed.

"Some people just don't know how to-! Never mind. Such incredible power is not a toy!" She replied.
