Chapter 17
Traveling
It was strange for Mathew. He had not been out of the city since he entered and now everyone avoided him like death.
They had stopped at the first village that they passed through and bought clothing for Santhari. She was not very happy about the need for clothing, insisting that a dragon had no need for them, but Mathew managed to convince her to. When she was took the shape of a human at least.
She spent most of days high in the sky, so high she seemed just a spec when overhead. Mathew would often lift his mind to hers to experience her joy of flying.
Now they were two weeks into their journey and Mathew was exhausted. Twice he had had to chase down Sifo Dias when he had an episode and then they had to wait for their horses to rest.
Now Sifo Dias lead in the front with Mathew behind him and Cassiel trying to explain the need of flowers to Mark in the back. She was saying something like,"Their beauty graces our world and what would our world be without that beauty", Mark simply looked confused and looked towards Mathew for help. Suddenly she announced in a haughty tone,"You are impossible Mark", and she rode up front to talk with Sifo Dias.
She quickly found him to be a dull chat though, he seemed to be brooding on his dead brother again. He had that small monument out in his hands.
Mathew's mind left him as Santhari dove, dropping out of the sky and at the last second stretched out her wings ending her decent and grabbing a deer with her claws. Mathew pulled his mind back before she began the process of eating it.
They topped a rise and Mathew could see it. The first rise of the city Eldarin.
