"Alright. Then it's settled. I'll tell my parents to expect you at times to train Smith" Kara explained. "And Leonore? Thank you. Your son needs you. Despite whatever happened in the past, I only hope that this can compensate for some part of it."

"There must be a way. The gods wouldn't set our lord to be where he is if they didn't think it was for the best, and they wouldn't mate you with him if there was no higher purpose for it. They say that males and females exist in part to compliment the other. As far the continuation of our species, this is obvious" Kali explained. "The differences between male and female don't stop in the... intimate parts... no. They exist all over, including the mind. If you can provide our lord with guidance, you will find that he will make decisions based on what you advise, and you can turn him- subtly- to the ends that Arda requires. Try to make it look like it was his ideas, not yours."

Adykon's blows kept coming, and he parried almost every blow. The few swings which made it through his defenses were little more than taps against his red hide.

"Good, good! I can see the fire in you. Don't stop now, keep it up! Let go of your fear! Feel free to make mistakes! Better to get them all out of the way here than to suffer in a true swordfight!" If Adykon was winded in the least, he didn't show it. Although he was over 50 years old, age meant very little to dracons until they were at least 100. Eventually, Adykon could see that Yssil was slowing down. 

"Alright, that's enough. You've done a good job, Yssil. Better than most of my sons at your level, in fact."
