After going through the whole experience with his father, William finally spoke, " you said the old man and your Dragon warned you about an enemy you don't know" "yes, they wanted me to become strong quick so that I can be able to defend myself when the time comes" " Max, I haven't told you this, because of fear of what my real ancestors were running from, that they abandoned my great ancestors to the childless Thornbridge then, that was how we grew up to be called Thornbridge, my grandfather and my father had tried tracing the real name of our ancestors but failed, to find any concrete information, the only thing I can tell you now is that the enemy which they are talking about must be very powerful, so I want you to join Erindale Black Dragon knights" Max knew his father had always been against him joining the Dragon knights, so his change of heart was surprising " this was a had decision for me to make, but for your safety, you must join them, yo u know their slogan, WE PROTECT OUR OWN, WITH BLOOD AND FIRE, they would protect you at all cost when you become part of them" "but it is not easy to join the Dragon knights" "don't worry, being a blacksmith as it advantage, I heard from one of the knights that came to fix his sword that the Dragon knights would be holding a competition in three days time for entry into their ranks, this is the first time they are trying such, to see if this method could be adopted in future" Max was happy here this "am sure when the knights get to see either of your beast, they will be willing to accept you" "so I want you to start practicing, I would give you some of the powerful magic scrolls in our family, didn't wanted you to know about it earlier so you won't have an advantage over others to get into the knights" William grinned, "now go eat and sleep, tomorrow you will go show me and your mother that Dragon of yours, am sure we would be the second people to see a dragon" Max said his good bye and left.
