Dakon stood up and shrugged into the chain mail. The new armor shone like a mirror, clinking loudly as it slithered down to his knees. Next he lifted the new shirt from the bed and slipped it over the chainmail, twisting to make sure the cloth was free of the links.
Next he fastened the brown leather belt around his waist, adjusting the new leather sheath until it hung by his left hip. Concentric geometric patterns spiraled down and around the sheath, another part of his new armor. Next came the gauntlets and bracers, heavy leather backed by steel plates with an identical design as the sheath.
Dakon clenched his fist, grunting as he struggled against the strength of the new leather. They creaked loudly, but slowly gave way as the leather slowly stretched. He sat on the edge of his bed and finished tying the heavy leather boots, then slapped the greaves on and began to fasten them.
>Why are you going with armor?< Koth asked from the next room, bending down to peer with one large eye through the series of rooms that made of Dakon's section of the apartments.
<Because I am a Knight of Ismene Warren, and my duty is to protect the civilians. And especially now. The Queen will be busy watching her eggs, and I will be busy watching the people in the stands.>
Koth chuckled, a low rumble that caused the empty glass to vibrate across the small table Dakon used. >What are the odds of anyone having the courage to take on a full grown Warren Queen, a full squadron of dragons and their riders, not to mention the civilians, during a hatching?<
<About the same odds of a dragon deciding he wanted to hatch directly in the middle of a wraith attack> Dakon responded drily, throwing a slight grin over at the now indignant dragon.
>Well, if you hadn't decided to be so bold and heroic, maybe I would have never felt your presence in the first place!< the dragon said lamely. Turning, Koth presented Dakon with his back, his wings arched in an offended position.
Smiling slightly as he strapped on the last of the six dagger sheaths, Dakon reached over and began to pick daggers up and holster them. Next came his sword, the darkened metal reflecting the world back in shadows as he slid it noiselessly into the new sheath. Satisfied with his gear, he strode out of his room, grabbing the new cloak that hung by the door.
Not asking for permission, he climbed quickly up Koth's back and settled himself into the saddle. Without a word the dragon took two steps and dropped over the edge of his aerie, snapping his wings open once he had attained some speed. The two glided lazily in a spiral towards the green, angling towards the crowd around the hatching cavern.
>Think the Warren Lady will approve?< Koth asked.
<This is not about permission. I am not some little boy asking for a new toy. I am a knight, and this is the uniform I have chosen. She will respect my choice.> Dakon responded, his thoughts smooth and unemotional. The dragon considered responding, then simply sighed and continued his descent. |
