He was right, of course. It was not too late to begin training, and perhaps she was wrong to think that there was nothing that could be done to halt the violent tide that rose up against them, ready to break upon their shores. Again the dragon roared from across the sea, encouraging now, and this time Seren allowed her friend - both of them - to lift her spirits.
Accepting the king's hand in hers, her expression warmed at the offer. "You are a kind man, Hadama. Even though you are so busy... of course I will train with you. It will be fun - or at least we can make it fun. But let us complete this stretch of beach first!"
With a deep breath, Seren turned back to the beach, and the specks of infestation that littered it. Squaring her shoulders against the unpleasant nature of their chore, she nevertheless was determined to complete it. Perhaps that was all they really needed to do. Just one small task at a time, over and over again...
Ah, but she wondered. Whether a god's chosen really could afford the kind of priority where staying alive came first and above all else. It was something she would have to discuss with her parents.
Some other time, though. Because she thought she knew what either of them would say on that subject.

I'm ready to start the conquest of spaces
Reaching the starlight and silver fields
