�Ah, yes sir.�

Gashan blankly nodded his head as he watched Cale and Eruhaben head toward Rosalyn�s laboratory. Raon approached him at that moment.

Gashan found it weird as the Black Dragon had never approached him first before. Raon started to speak to him.

�Cheer up!�

�Excuse me?�

Gashan asked back, but Raon had a smile on his now chubbier cheeks as he quickly followed behind Cale.

Gashan watched the three of them leave for a while before heading away from Cale�s room with the two priests.

�You want me to get on your back?�

Ubarr territory�s coast.

It was currently late at night as Cale stood underneath a small source of light.

�Yes. We will guide you to the village.�

A large Humpback Whale with an X-shaped scar offered her back to Cale.

Witira continued to speak to Cale, who seemed to be hesitating.

�Raon-nim and young master Cale, your group have earned the qualifications to get on my back.�

�That is true! You can ride on my back as well!�

The half-blooded Whale Paseton agreed with his sister and offered his back to Cale as well.

�Mm.�

Cale hesitated before finally starting to speak.

�Sorry.�

�Excuse me?�

Cale tightened the scarf on his neck as Paseton asked on confusion.

�The Winter ocean breeze is cold.�

He thought it would be too cold on the Whale�s back. JrNovels.com
