The four of them had found a cave somewhere in the nearby mountains where the dragon's mountain was still within sight. After a short discussion, they then decided to spend the night there to give Vera as much rest as she could get with their current situation.
Thankfully, Vera awakened the next day. It had surprised Evie how quickly she was recovering but she quickly realized that she should not be that surprised anymore. Vera was no longer a mere human now after all. She is a dragon keeper now, just like her!
Vera was even the one who asked for Evie to start teaching and training her on matters with the dragons just a few minutes after they had finished their breakfast.
Of course, Evie did not intend to waste a moment longer and granted her wish. She could see the thrill and determination flashing in Vera's eyes, so she thought that there was no need to delay any longer. Every second counts in their race to changing the path that they take to their known futures.
