After Raven chose Rust to be her master, he bowed respectfully to her.
"I would be honoured to train you," Rust said. "I'll transform you into a fine warrior in no time."
Raven gave him a grateful nod. "Thank you, Rust. I'm honoured to be your student."
I reached out to her and handed her a small, black metallic key with runes glowing faintly on its surface.
"What's this?" she asked curiously.
"It's a magic key," I explained, pressing it into Raven's palm. "It opens a portal to the Red Dragon's domain. You won't have to wait around for me to pick you up anymore. With that, you come and go as you please."
Raven's eyes widened as she turned the key over in her hands. "Wait, you've had this all along and never told me?"
I chuckled. "Actually, I didn't think you'd need it. But now… you've grown. You've chosen to become stronger. So keep it safe—because you're the only one I trust with this key."
