"Baylrys, I want to take you with me," Freisae said, plainly.
A weak laugh escaped the dragon. "Yes, that should be an easy feat. I'll spring to my feet and follow at your heels, like a pup would his master." He sighed. "I'm not worth the trouble. Let me die in peace."
The girl clenched her jaw a few times, placing the torch on the ground and being careful not to let it go out. She put both of her hands against Baylrys' side, a bright light suddenly illuminating the cave in a blue glow. It was a more extreme healing energy than she had ever cast onto a dragon, so she wasn't sure how well it would work.
Almost instantly, Baylrys lifted his head, feeling a burst of energy. Struggling slightly, the dragon got to his feet. Standing was shaky for him, as he hadn't stood in nearly two months. He took a few steps, his left front leg buckling briefly.
Freisae watched with a smile, as the dragon began to emerge from his cave, touching the sunlight for what she assumed was the first time in a very long time. Kandri looked up, while Itsy and Bitsy stared in awe. Though he couldn't actually see the light, Baylrys stretched his head upward with his eyes closed, feeling the warmth soak into his now grey skin.
