The fury of a young dragon who has not yet learned how to separate reason from instinct can be far more devastating than that of an adult—after all, children do not know the meaning of restraint. If he had been immediately abandoned by the person with whom he’d barely started forming a bond, it would have been too much for the baby dragon to bear.
Fortunately, Noa was never hostile to him. Even when she had been trying to send him away, Noa had always insisted, “You’re going to a better place.” Today, she had even promised that he could stay with her for the time being.
For the time being… Although he was young, the child understood what this meant—staying here with Noa was only temporary, and the possibility of abandonment still loomed over him. If she abandons me again, I might actually kill her this time, even though I don’t want to. Plus, Noa told me not to kill her, and I promised that I wouldn’t.
