184 – Going to the Ancient Caves

"Big Brother's son is finally home," the Dragon Queen said in a soft voice full of emotion. "It is good to have you home, child."

Fang nodded, his purple eyes full of emotion as well. He gripped Ren's hand tightly.

"Are you two feeling well enough to travel to our ancestral caves in the afternoon?" the Dragon Queen asked. "I was thinking that we could go after lunch – but I wouldn't want to tax the two of you too much, either. We could go tomorrow morning as well."

"We can go today," Ren said, before Fang could object.

Fang frowned at Ren. "Won't you be too tired?" he asked. "Don't force yourself."

Ren shook his head. "I'm perfectly fine, my big darling. There is no need to fuss," he said in a comforting voice. Then he turned to the Dragon Queen. "I am very curious about the ancestral caves and what you guys had mentioned back in Cosmopolis about Fang's father's familiar."
