As they exited from the motorcade, Tiberius was beyond words when his eyes laid upon the large dragon before him. He briefly saw the dragons from yesterdays show, but he never imaged he would see the father of the dragons within the flesh. Tiberius just stood there in awe of the magnificent creature, thinking to how he was related to this rare race. Leona, on the other hand, made quick notice to latch onto Ardrelia and Selena for protection as she was still not comfortable with the notion of being related to a race she had feared since she was a little girl. She whispered over to Selena and Ardrelia, "I might have dragon blood running through my veins, but I'm still terrified of them. I still can't accept yet that I'm a descendant of one of their ancient houses." Leona continued to hide behind Selena and Ardrelia as Tiberius approached the ancient dragon to speak with him in their ancient tongue...........
Selena took a arm around her daughter.
" Dragons could be scary I admit but this one will not charge you, this one came not from your dreams. Since over 20 years he lived here in Phoenixia and he was far to busy with mating and training the Childs. Of course we have more lines of dragons but this one is by far the oldest.
You are from the blood of the dragon and that will you make special to them if I'm not wrong."
To prove her point the Dragon raised his majestic head and locked directly into Tiberius as he approached the Dragon.
" So the rumors are true, greetings, Human with our blood. You are the first one I meet in a very long time. Many of the olders thought you were extinct but I could feel the blood in you.
You can yourself count lucky to speak with one of the fews who met other humans like you. Yes you might have a long life, you may have a few of our powers but you are still a human.
Now I see why Red Claw was so eager to call for a meeting of the elder and it is save to say that we will help you in your crusade against your son.
But as you are one of our blood, regardless how thin it is comparing to us I may grant you and Ardrelia a wish, regardless what it would be.
But now... Selena of no ones blood, step forward."
The assassin could hear the last sentence in her head with a power she could only guess.
She steeled herself, made sure that Leona was save behind Ardrelia and took the distance between her and the dragon with a few steps.
" You are a brave one, born to the fire. You will be a good couple, you, the elf and the human with dragon blood. That I can promise you.
Normally you would have a wish also but the council of elders had decided to grant you more than that. You will be the first new line in more then 2000 years. You earned this when you saved one of our kind. You earned this because you don't do it for glory, not for wealth, not for anything else than the only reason we could understand."
The dragon lowered his head and began to hum, it was a earthshaking, scary noise and it lasted for at least 5 minutes. After that the dragon covered her with flames out of his nostrils but the Assassin doesn't panic, any emotions were erased from her.
The flames didn't burn her, it was more like she covered her completely.
After 5 minutes the flames died and not even her clothes were burned, but she certainly feel different.
" Raise now Selena Dragonborn, first of your name. This is our gift, your privilege. Use it well and don't disappoint us."
Only now he noticed Leona.
" Another one of our kind ? It's a lucky day indeed, step forward you two."
Meanwhile in the Palace:
The second car was reserved for the Elven delegation. Captain Eirikson was again the only volunteer to lead them trough the city, internally wondering where this demon of a elven princes hide.
" Good morning me lords, I'm your tour guide for today. Is there anything you want to see especially ? We have a lot of history and culture here in the city and we are by far the most multi cultural and multi racial city in the Kingdom."
