(Leo's POV, The Mysterious Floating Island)
After speaking with Moltherak a while longer and uncovering the floating island's secret, that an ancient spell guarded it and allowed only those of Moltherak's bloodline to set foot upon its surface, Leo finally turned to leave, his mind weighed down by thoughts that refused to settle.
Moltherak had informed him that it would take him at least one or two years to master the technique of space tunneling, a feat so difficult that even among the dragon race, it had been reserved for only the most gifted.
And as if learning the technique in itself was not daunting enough, what truly burdened Leo's mind was not the difficulty of the task, but the unforgiving timeline that came with it.
If he truly wished to attempt Veyr's rescue, then he had at most seven years before having to leave the Time Stilled World, as he needed to spend at least a month in the outside world to contact Soron and finalize the rescue plan, with all the facts at hand.
