Live as long as fortune permits.
“Have you slain a lot of dragons?” Seth asked.
The knight patted his sword. “That I have done. More than my share. I know my trade. But it is like sending a hydra to a headsman. For every dragon I kill, a new nest is born. We had the dragons in our power. We could have destroyed them. But no, no, no. Why end the threat forever when we can shelter them and give them eons to respawn? And as their numbers grew, those who once opposed them dwindled into obscurity, training no replacements. When the dragons get free this time, there will be no protectors. The world will reel. Crops will burn. Cities will fall. Humanity will scatter and quail as merciless monsters inherit the earth.”
“You are depressed,” Seth said.
“I am called the Somber Knight,” he said.
“We can fight the evil,” Kendra said.
“Alas, this is my lot,” the knight said. “I wait here in the darkness, not quite dead, not quite living, bleak and useless as a monument to a forgotten kingdom, awaiting the call to arms. I stand watch as the centuries turn to millennia, as the same cycles repeat, pretending that when I am called, I can help by adding to the carnage.”
“That’s true up to a point,” Raxtus said. “A respectable dragon wants to maintain a certain persona. Humans are supposed to be frozen with fear around dragons. Letting one pet you wrecks the ferociousness. And lighting up at the touch of a fairykind girl only makes it worse.”
“What will you need us to do as caretakers?” Seth asked.
“Your grandparents and I will gradually train you,” Marat said. “The first priority will be to keep you safe.”
“I want to do the job right,” Seth said.
“I admire your determination,” Marat acknowledged.
“So do I,” Grandpa added. “However, the first order of business will be to survive the interview.”
Seth never tired of seeing monsters; to his delight, most of the individuals who stood in a long line to greet them fit that description.
