She spoke under her breath, "Oh this explains a lot. Never saw a dragon fully grown. He's magnificent."<br/><br/>Jonathan, her brother, was dressed in the same Kelly Green uniform as his father.  He glanced down at Kate, "You should see him fly in battle. He saved our entire battalion. I am not surprised he is chosen to stay."<br/><br/>Kate grinned and was only feet away from his right wing. She touched her collarbone and drew a deep breath. "I have dreamed of meeting a dragon and I have."<br/><br/>King Atrius held up his goblet out toward Nubu. He made a motion for all to rise, "This night in honor of you. All Hail Lord Commander Nobu!"<br/><br/>All raised their goblets and glasses and spoke in unison. The hall echoed with "All Hail Lord Commander Nobu." With a roar of cheers.<br/><br/>Followed by all taking a drink. King Atrus stepped down several steps and held Nobu's family crest on a huge gold serpentine chain. You are hereby are a citizen of the realm and protector. We are grateful!"<br/><br/>The roar of cheers again filled the hall followed by "All hail Lord Protector Nobu! All hail Nubu! Yeahhhh"<br/><br/>Kate cheered and clapped.<br/><br/>Atrius spoke to Lord Nobu as all cheered, "Follow me in my chamber suite."
