"Boss, boss!"
"What are we eating today?"
Perched on Charles's shoulder, Scorchflame asked in a tiny voice, right beside Charles's ear.
Nearly a year had passed since Scorchflame hatched.
By the time he was two months old, he had already learned to speak.

Charles was going to become a Shadow Spy Wizard and fight an invasion on another plane. Bruce would make a good assistant.
Rather than letting Bruce become a first-rank creature in the Wizard World, it would be better to have
