Lacertin felt a heaviness weighing in him that mixed with a sense of sadness. Ever since coming to the kingdoms, he had been a part of something. First, it had been training at the university, struggling to learn what it meant that he could shape. Then it was mastering his shaping, first fire and then the other elements. After that, he had taught for a time in between fighting in the never-ending Incendin war, but it had never suited him. That was when Ilton claimed him, placing ever increasingly difficult tasks before him. With each one Lacertin managed to complete, his ties to Ilton grew. “Where now?” Jayna asked. “Down,” he said. He leaned on her less with each step, strength slowly returning. With each step, his ability to shape returned even more. As it did, he pulled on a slight shaping of earth to steady him, nothing more than a trickle of strength, but enough that he didn’t need to lean on Jayna as he had.
