Ansarivan Dragon Riding Academy, Apona Dormitory...
Sylvia lay on her bed in a revealing pure-white nightgown, unable to fall asleep for a long time...
Looking up at the bright moon and stars hanging in the night sky outside her window, such a tranquil scene did nothing to calm the restless heart within Sylvia's chest, leaving her sighing again and again.
Sitting up in bed, Sylvia lowered her head and looked at the Starbrand slightly above the center of her chest, unable to stop herself from reaching out and stroking it.
This Starbrand should never have appeared on Sylvia's body in the first place.
After all, she had been passed over during the Hatchling Ceremony...
Yet that man had given Sylvia hope—a miracle she had believed she could never obtain...
Even now, Sylvia still wondered...
Why, after nearly ten years, did Wu Yan still look so young?...
With that appearance, even without knowing his exact age, he could have passed himself off as a student.
Besides, wasn't the Dragon Mother the only one capable of granting hatchlings to humans?...
Why could Wu Yan grant a hatchling to her as well?...
Thinking carefully about it, Sylvia realized that she knew almost nothing about Wu Yan, whether in the past or now...
Yet likewise, whether in the past or now, Wu Yan had given Sylvia help that was practically a second chance at life.
During the Hatchling Ceremony, he had granted her a hatchling and allowed her to become a Dragon Rider...
When the young dragon went berserk, he had not only saved her, but also slapped her, making her abandon her mistaken way of thinking...
