We lost Fodor to a storm off Cape Horn. I wish that my ascension to
wyvern was not due to the tragedy of losing him, but thus are the vagaries
of fate. I will do all I can to protect the sept, and have so sworn.
Henceforth, I am known as Drake Vireo.
Drake sat back, feeling both a sense of sadness and satisfaction he had
at last taken up the mantle he was born to assume. He tapped on the journal
with the end of the pen, then dipped the nib into the inkwell again.
Addendum: I have decided to keep a journal. As my grandam pointed
out, documentation of a modern-thinking wyvern will offer much insight
and provide a great benefit to future generations. It is for this reason I will
devote an hour each day to noting in this diary such things as are brought
to my attention.
Also, Kostya has started one.
30 September 1859
I see it has been more than two years since I decided to keep a journal.
I will do better, beginning with today. I am on the way to see my
grandam, who has called me to her side. She says the matter is of some
impor—
The carriage in which Drake was riding hit a pothole, sending the quill
and traveling ink bottle to the floor. He sighed, and decided he’d fill in the
rest of the day’s entry after he’d seen Piroska.
A short half hour later, Drake entered the salon lit with sunlight, the
noise and scent of the Paris that flowed past his grand-mère’s house filling
him with a sense of mingled familiarity and unease. The former was due to
his having lived there during his early years, while the latter …
“There you are, my Drake. How handsome you look in that suit. Did
some woman pick it out?”
The voice that greeted him was as soft as the wind, yet had a thread of
steel that Drake was all too familiar with.
He bowed over his grandam Piroska’s hand, kissing it before doing the
same to each of her slightly perfumed cheeks. “As a matter of fact, a
woman did give it to me. A beautiful woman, with green eyes filled with
laughter, and a heart bigger than all of the Otherworld.”
“Flatterer,” Piroska laughed, pinching his arm before smoothing a hand
over the lapel of the dragonweave suit that she’d given him a few weeks
earlier. “I would say that the tailor did an exceptional job, but you could
wear sackcloth and still look elegant.”
He bowed his head in acknowledgment of the compliment, taking a seat
next to her and accepting a cup of tea. The conversation for the next six
minutes was trivial at best, and Drake wondered if she was going to address
the elephant in the room … but perhaps she was unaware of the happenings?
“And now that I have bored you almost to sleep, I must say my piece.”
Drake stiffened, carefully setting down his mostly untouched tea.
“You’ve heard?”
