After the storm (3)

Author's note: this is from Seraphina's point of view

With the topic of the data related to my revival being settled, my thoughts drifted toward the new face.

I was curious about the man who introduced himself as the Lord of Lightning.

"What can you tell me about Graike?"

"He is a dragon."

My eyes nearly bulged out. "A dragon?"

Aldus saw my uneasiness. "Don't worry, Graike will not harm you. We go a long way back. Graike can control lightning and there was electricity inside your system that he helped drain. He wanted to stay long enough to ensure you are fine before returning to his realm. I guess he was eager to meet you in person."

I assumed that Lazarus also stayed behind to ensure I am OK. That was sweet, but I feared that he will bring up the topic of our date again. I was not ready for that, not yet.

What about Vesper? Why is she here? I found it hard to believe that she was here because of her concern for me.
