The morning sun cast a golden hue over Draconis as I awoke, feeling the excitement of the previous day's victory still coursing through me. As I stepped out into the courtyard, I was greeted by the sight of Seraphina, her silver hair catching the light and her golden eyes observing the city below.
"Good morning, Seraphina," I said, trying to keep my voice steady.
She turned, a faint smile playing on her lips. "Good morning, Emily. I thought we could spend the day together, away from the trials and responsibilities."
I was taken aback by her proposal. Spending the day with the Dragon Queen was both an honor and an opportunity to learn more about her. "I'd like that," I replied, unable to hide my enthusiasm.
Seraphina led me through the winding streets of Draconis, the city alive with activity. The buildings were a marvel of dragon architecture, carved from the mountains themselves and adorned with intricate designs.
