The sun hadn't even fully risen, but Derrick was already up, standing in the center of his room, eager to start today's training.
He just wanted to do all his training as fast as he could, get strong enough to enter the barrier, get the evil eye, and then save Royal Knight.
Derrick heard a knock on his door, with a simple glance using dragon eyes, he could see Sir Thompson behind it.
Derrick twisted the door handle and was met with a downcast Sir Thompson.
"Are we heading to Eldrion's now?" Derrick asked, he wanted to say something about Sir Thompson's mood.
But, he already knew whatever problems stemmed from Royal Knight's condition.
"Yes, if you're ready." Sir Thompson didn't say any more than that, a strange contrast to his previously cheerful self.
The carriage ride to the outskirts of the forest was silent. Derrick sat with his hands clasped, his mind focused on Sir Thompson.
