After Liliana returned to her father's home and doctor's office, she had to wait for him to finish with a patient and asked to speak with him outside. With a soft thud, Magnoryn landed just outside, grumbling about his new rider taking too long.<br/><br/><span style="color: #40FF00">"<span style="font-style: italic">This would be easier without you here</span>,"</span>Lilliana told her dragon, sensing his presence was nearby.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">"<span style="font-style: italic">Hmpf! As if your family would believe you,"</span></span>Magnoryn pointed out, snorting.<br/><br/>Annoyed, but not entirely sure it was a good idea to shoo away a dragon, Liliana led her father outside. Her father's reaction to the dragon was not what she had expected. "Lili, get inside," he told his daughter, pushing her protectively behind him.<br/><br/>"Father, it's ok. He's my friend. The dragon's name is Magnoryn, and I am his new rider," she explained slowly.<br/><br/>"Oh, so he is here to take you away?" her father asked, suddenly angry.<br/><br/>Magnoryn snickered.<span style="color: #FF8000">"He wishes to defy me? Ha!"</span><br/><br/>Ignoring her dragon's comment, Liliana promised her father, "I'll be back someday. Right now though, I am needed. Please understand father."<br/><br/>He sighed, looking his daughter over. She reminded him so much of her mother, and she was everything to him. Liliana's father finally nodded. "Alright, you may go."<br/><br/>Liliana hugged her father, and he watched his daughter climb onto the back of the large red and orange dragon. He watched her until she and the dragon were nothing but a speck on the horizon. Finally, he turned and went back inside to his patients.
