"What about ten years from now, when they both grow up?" Lith asked.
"Only the gods know." Raaz shrugged. "At twelve Aran will try for the White Griffon Academy with Leria. If he gets in, he will meet a lot of new people and maybe find a girlfriend. Maybe more than one." He groaned at the last part.
"He will spend from five to two years away from home. When he becomes a young man, things are bound to change, whether we like it or not."
"What if Onyx follows him?" Trion pointed out. "She's already great with magic and can shapeshift. She can pass the admission exam for the White Griffon with her eyes closed and her hands tied behind her back."
"I already have grandchildren with scales." Raaz rocked a giggling Elysia in his arms. "I'd love grandchildren with fur just the same."
