[The video turns on to show Zephyr. The little dragon is getting much bigger now. At just about three months old, she's starting to become a little too big for Kain to carry, more like a dog-sized dragon now than a puppy. She's currently hunched back and eyeing something above her. Kain can be heard speaking as he holds the device.]

Come on... I know you can do it again... I want a record of your early progress.

[As he waits, the dragon keeps sitting there, waiting... and then with a sudden flutter of wings, takes off into the air with the view following her. It's a short attempt, more a glide than true flight, but when she lands Zephyr has a bird caught in her mouth. She goes to work chomping on her prey.]

That was excellent, Zephyr. I'm very proud of you. [There's a sound as Kain does something with the device. Little does he know he hasn't turned it off- he's only turned the Video feature to Voice.] I only hope you will return with me, when the time comes. I don't know what I'd do without you...

Indeed. It's not common for most people to attempt. I may not have, had I not come across her by chance...

She's nearly three months old. It's around the time they generally learn proper controlled flight. Give her a few weeks more and she'll be a natural.

Oh? Where did you find the egg?

I'm sure she will. I assume she'll get much bigger as well, being a dragon.

I found her when she'd just hatched in the nest, with no mother to be found. I believe the mother was killed in that silver dragon attack.

Yes. Over the upcoming months, she'll grow very rapidly, until she's the fearsome size you would expect.

It's good you came along then. I didn't have the best encounter during those attacks but. With training I suppose it could be taught otherwise. I'm not a dragoon so I'm not exactly sure how these things work.

That's absolutely terrifying, where would she stay? Since you've raised her she must be attached to you.

Being a dragoon gives one an affinity for dragons, as well as enhanced capabilities to fight the more threatening varieties.

Terrifying to any enemies, perhaps. [There's a hint of a smirk at that, he truly does enjoy the thought of having a dragon on his side.] I prefer the solitude of mountains and caves, anyway. I expect that I'll spend most of my time out there with her, somewhere in the Troia area.
