Bab 59: (LIX) Taken

"Umbra!" Jackson called out as the wyvern tattoo on his chest began to fade like Khione's on the back of his shoulder.

The small wyvern appeared in a flash, gliding through the air as he landed in the sand. He walked up to him, rubbing his face against his leg as he screeched.

Jackson smiled at his new companion as Khione's eyes narrowed, immediately feeling jealous as she ran to her master, jumped into his arms, and started being overly affectionate.

He laughed, hugging her tightly before he set her on the ground, and she quickly turned, trying to return to his arms, meowing.

He patted her on the head, smiling as she pawed at his arms.

He looked over at Umbra, who had approached the remains of the egg that contained him and began eating the shell.

Khione meowed to get his attention again, and he turned to see her sitting in front of him, looking at her with sad eyes. She rubbed against him, meowing and purring, wanting to get closer to him.
