| Viserion keeps a pace that matches his new horned-acquaintance’s own. He does not plan on falling behind. Then again, the dragon boy was never one to allow himself to be in such a position. He was eager to see this new place—a place he was to call him now. The silence between them two does not bother him at once. He has found few words within himself to say except for the conversation that Takei offers on their journey to the island kingdom called Ischia. During the journey he often finds himself in thought about his arrival to the island. What will the brotherhood be like? Will it be the place he remembered it to be when he was growing up? Would it be the same without his parents? He doesn’t know. Only that he is ready for a change. He is ready for his life to finally start. Soon they have reached the channel that divides his new home with the rest of Beqanna. The sight before him is more than he imagined it to be. Perhaps even more with the addition of the spring season’s touch onto the island. Viserion already finds himself even more liking the idea of his new home. Takei, quiet but always seems to have a hint of humor within him, finally speaks. Viserion cannot help but smile after his informative statement on the water around the island. “Don’t you worry, I promise I won’t sink to the bottom and making you save me,” he replies back. A laugh then erupts from his throat. Viserion willingly follows line behind Takei, allowing him to take the lead. He learns the path that the chestnut tobiano takes, knowing he will use this path many times. Eventually, they reach to the border of Ischia. His honey-hazel eyes give a sweep of the island several times now that he is closer than before. “This will do just fine,” he says to Takei, although he does not expect a reply. So, Viserion turns to look around, seeing if any of the brothers would come and greet him. Would they welcome him as Takei had? He wonders if Brennen will come to say hello—surely the king could spare a little time to an old brother’s son. |
