Part 593: Ricken B

Thanks for letting me play with Minerva again today.

Yes, she seems to be growing used to your visits.

Yeah, I think I'm ready to get my own wyvern and become a wyvern rider! I mean, Minerva loves me, so I'm sure other wyverns would go crazy for me too!

I'm going to be blunt because I want to save you future disappointment. If I wasn't around to calm Minerva, she likely would have eaten you by now.

Soooo, what you're saying is, we're NOT forming a bond and becoming best pals?

No, I'm afraid not. Why are you so fixated on becoming a wyvern rider anyway?

I dunno. I guess because I feel kind of useless in battle. I mean, I can use magic and stuff, but that's all I'm really good at. So I thought that maybe riding a wyvern would make me... more helpful.

I understand you want to be an important part of the army. But the way to do that is to specialize in one particular area. Do you dislike your magic studies and training?

No, I love it!

Well, there's your answer. You should strive to be the greatest mage you can be! If you love what you do, you're already halfway to mastering it.

Yeah, I guess you're probably right. Thanks for the advice, Cherche!
