Mila was confused - her brother was never one of those weak kind. He had to help out in teh farm and with the chores, so she was quite sure of his build before he was chosne to be the sacrifice. It had been alright the first few weeks as well, but then Caleb had been eating so little yet gaining weight abnormally. She was woried something seriously wrong with him, but everytime she attempted to ask, he just dodged and said he was tired, choosing to retire to their shared bedroom.
One early morning, when Mila was roused awake by the chrips of the birds, she saw the silhouette of Caleb against the window, and what shocked her was he had been caressing his belly - a belly that had been awkwardly large compared with his otherwise small frame. Mila could have sworn she saw a loving gaze from Caleb to his belly, acting almost identical to every other pregnant women she had seen around the village. By then, Mila was afraid her brother had gotten insane from his time with the dragon - or had become seriously ill with some effects from that evil being.
Mila squeezed her eyes shut, opting to avoid the elephant in the room, hoping that this had all been a terrible dream.
Meanwhile, Acrux had been held up at the meeting. The clrowd had been happy to see the dragon bringing his young offspring to the ground, yet more of them were unhappy with the obvious trait of mixed blood in them - despite their pitiful population, a lot of the elders were not accepting of inter-species breeding, much less from a powerful and promising dragon like Acrux. He had been held down and drilled, the dragons were discussing among themsleves whether theys houdl allow Acrux to leave for his human lover.
