It was another fine day.
"Senior Sister, focus on my teaching aids." Zhao Si tapped the drawing board in his hands.
There was a picture on the board.
Ever since he had developed the habit of taking notes and adding illustrations, his drawing skills had improved considerably.
As of today, the last illustration in his notes was Malenia's "Rebirth from the Flames."
It depicted Malenia as he remembered her, standing before Rennala, surrounded by flames.
It was a simple sketch, but a vivid one.
It conveyed the blazing intensity and Malenia's extraordinary martial bearing.
The setting and figure complemented each other, bringing out the theme.
What he had drawn on the board now was Fortissax.
An Ancient Dragon, in other words.
"This is an Ancient Dragon, a rare sight in the Lands Between these days." Zhao Si dipped his brush in paint again and painted over the Ancient Dragon's foreclaws.
"Those without foreclaws or rocklike scales are Flying Dragons," Zhao Si explained in some detail. "Their skeletons look roughly like this."
He flipped the board over, revealing a Dragon Skeleton.
He had drawn it based on some dragon bones exposed in Dragonbarrow and his observations of Fortissax.
He had not visited Dragonbarrow to see them himself. It was only his memory of the game.
There was no particular need to make a special trip to Dragonbarrow, either.
He was only telling Helena and Malenia about it for fun, anyway.
Thops was handling Irina's education.
When it came to teaching academic subjects, Zhao Si felt that Thops was far better at it than he was.
Irina had to start by learning to read and write. She had a long road ahead.
Thops had a solid grounding in all the basics, more than enough to teach children.
