Within an armchair did a certain drake brood, his right hand pinching his chin in thought with index and thumb as a fire roared within the hearth of its castle. The creature pondered upon how his son was coming along, for he had seen him grow from but a young boy, enduring the trials and tribulations he once did Oh so long ago. Its reptilian eyes watched upon the flame, perhaps in a trance or daydream, or perhaps in a dream itself. For it was not worry nor fear which dwelled within the inner flame of the creature over his son, it was a confidence, an understanding of the man Kassian was becoming and seeking to make of himself. It missed that drive, that passion to continue, but alas he was happy for his youngest. Kassian had begun a journey towards that which he himself had become, hopefully in time, he would see his son born anew, perhaps..., and thus he stood with a lumbering frame and a grunt from his person to send a message to an old and loved friend who oversaw his sons development into a servant of the Titan.
