Chapter 53: Bluebell Flower
Eventually, Tarah managed to get enough sleep after she cast a strong spell on Vulcan to keep it still inside the cave. By the time she woke up, the dragon was still sleeping because of it. At least that worked unlike her attempts to coax Vulcan into telling her more about Hana and what happened in the past last night.
Staring at the dragon, she let out a sigh and muttered, "I wonder why Hana was executed and burned alive. Is that why you cursed and vowed to kill all Dragonriders?"
She had her speculations, but it was still better to hear the truth from the one who was actually there when it all happened. She could get it wrong, after all. As such, what could be the reason for the Dragonriders to execute Hana like that?
Once more, Tarah let out a deep sigh before casting a spell so Vulcan would sleep more while she was gone. With her spell in place, she then walked outside the cave to get herself and the dragon something to eat. This time, she covered herself with a protection spell. This forest was inhospitable, so it was no wonder then that there were a lot of poisonous and dangerous things in it. She wouldn’t want to repeat the same mistake as last night, after all.
Venturing out, she didn’t take long before quickly going back inside the cave and releasing Vulcan from her sleeping spell. Once she was done, the expected happened.
[You!] the dragon roared the moment it opened its eyes. [Just you wait! I’m going to burn you alive!]
Despite the threats, Tarah simply chuckled before offering it some roasted meat. "Here and eat!"
[I would rather eat your flesh!] Vulcan retorted.
"If you do that, then you’ll break your promise with Hana. No eating human flesh right?" she scoffed before munching on her own portion of meat.
[You’re such a nuisance!]
Tarah ignored Vulcan’s grumbling and focused on eating instead. Once she was done, she then stood up with a smile and said, "How about we go for a ride?"
