quarters. Goban left two guards in each of their apartments to stand watch. Myrdinn released Halo to the care of Davin and sent for one of the local doctors to stay with Davin to watch for complications and administer heavy doses of antibiotics.
As tired as Davin was, he did not sleep. He did not leave Halo's side at all that night. All night he sat up watching every breath Halo took. Even the Doctor's orders for him to get rest were ignored. There was no pulling him away from Halo, at any cost.
CHAPTER ELEVEN
THE CALM
After just a couple of days, Halo was back to her old self. She healed rather quickly, even for a dragon.
As the days passed Halo had continued to grow at a very quick rate, her size almost doubling that of the other dragons her age. She towered over even the green dragons, who were most generally the largest. For a dragon, her shape was quite unique as well. Her hind legs were strong and powerful and she walked about on her hind legs with much ease. When standing she was now taller than Davin. All of the dragons had hit a growth spurt and had all at least doubled their previous size.
Davin had found himself working in the pits quite a bit over the coming weeks. With little to no training he had already surpassed some of the older students. Unlike the other bonders, he had been gifted with not just one, but all of the dragon abilities. His physical strength had become somewhat intense. Blake had made the mistake of finding out he wasn't so tough anymore. He tried to shoulder bump Davin into the wall but tasted it himself. Davin just brushed him off like a fly. He was able to manipulate water like the blue bonders and could conjure fire from his hands like bonders of the reds. Davin was able to create the electrical energy like Chloe could, but could already control it better than her and it was much more powerful. Davin found the ability of the black dragons to be more of a challenge. Derrick and Davin would play what they called shadow tag. They would both try to hide amongst the shadows and take the other by surprise. Derrick would most always win. Davin had not yet been able to control gravity like the brown bonders, but he was constantly trying to.
Myrdinn and the others had not made any announcements about what had happened. Everyone was quiet about it all. The only ones that seemed to talk about it was Davin, Chloe and Derrick.
Towards the end of the third week after the incident, Myrdinn finally called a meeting to all within the keep. Everyone was to meet in the main hall at six o'clock in the evening. The three kids wondered what he would reveal to everyone and what he might keep quiet.
It wasn't until early that morning that Davin realized he would see his dad there. This would be the first time he had seen him since he entered the keep as a bonder. He wondered if his dad had heard of anything about what had happened to him. Surely he would have worried if he knew what he had been through.
Davin met with Chloe and Derrick as usual for an early breakfast. They talked amongst themselves quietly about what was going to happen. They were all very anxious for the meeting. They watched the other kids giggle in excitement, thinking something good was going to come from a large announcement. The three just shook their heads at the silly ideas some were coming up with. Only they knew what really had been going on.
The great hall was filling with people once again. Davin caught a glimpse of his father across the room. He tried to call him over, but his voice could not be heard over the loud chatter of all the people talking and yelling back and forth. Davin, Chloe and Derrick found a seat near the back of the hall.They were the only seats left and they would not have been able to get to the front through the crowds of people even if they had tried.
Myrdinn walked out from one of the side doors at the head of the hall. As he did the people all began to fall silent. Finally when the room was all
