"Tell me, Lady Thalassara..." I lean down, my chin resting against my arms on her cold, smooth scales. "What did it feel like to you when Lucian was born?"
She hums softly, the sound vibrating deep within her massive chest. "Well, we dragons indeed have vast force reserves in our cores, but when we are born, we naturally seal our incredible force so it does not leak out and cause our own death. It is only when we go through our awakening phase and finally become a true dragon that our prime and fullest potential force reserve is determined."
She glides forward, the bioluminescent light along her sides pulsing a rhythmic, deep green.
"But your husband Lucian... when he was born, he was born with that immeasurable amount of force completely unsealed. He was born at his prime."
I swallow hard, my heart hammering against my ribs. "So... what he has today... was that his full potential from birth?"
