"Preparing for War"

The next day, Draco woke up early, feeling a sense of excitement and nervousness about the challenges ahead. He got dressed and headed to the training grounds, where Eriol had promised to hold a special class for all the faction members. As he arrived, he saw Astra and Lyra already there, chatting with some of the other faction members. Eriol stood at the front of the group, her staff in hand. "Today, we'll be focusing on aligning yourself with your element and finessing your techniques to reach the apex of your attribute," she announced, her eyes scanning the group. "This is crucial for all of you, especially with the war against the Dark Scales looming." The class was intense, with Eriol pushing everyone to their limits. Draco felt his energy surge as he connected with his element, the wind responding to his every command. Astra and Lyra were doing well too, their magic and agility impressive. After the class, Draco met with some of the other faction leaders, discussing strategies and forming alliances. Kael's Dark Scales were not the only threat they faced, and it was essential to have a united front against the other potential enemies. As the day drew to a close, Draco headed back to his faction dormitory, accompanied by Astra and Lyra. They had decided to move in together, and Draco was excited to have them by his side. As they entered the dormitory, Astra and Lyra couldn't help but tease Draco, still flirty and playful from their intimate moments the night before. They were both naked, and Draco couldn't resist joining in, the three of them laughing and joking as they got ready for bed. Their intimate moments were always passionate and intense, and tonight was no exception. As they lay together, entwined in each other's arms, Draco felt a sense of happiness and contentment. The next morning, Draco woke up early, feeling a sense of duty. He had a meeting with one of his subordinates, a member of the Holy Knights, a secret order that protected the royal family. The Holy Knights were an elite group, handpicked by the king himself. They were known for their bravery and loyalty, and Draco had worked with them on several occasions. As he met with his subordinate, a tall and imposing figure named Sir Lucas, Draco learned that there was chaos brewing in the capital city. It seemed that some rogue magic users had started causing trouble, and the king was not pleased. "Draco, my lord," Sir Lucas said, his voice serious. "The king is not happy about your decision to pick a fight with the Dark Scales on day one. He thinks it's reckless and impulsive." Draco sighed, rubbing his temples. "I know, Lucas. But I had to. The Dark Scales are a threat, and I couldn't let them intimidate us." Sir Lucas nodded. "I understand, my lord. But the king wants you to be careful. He doesn't want you to start a war that could engulf the entire kingdom." Draco nodded, his mind racing with strategies and plans. He knew that the road ahead would be fraught with danger, but he was determined to protect his faction and his people. As Sir Lucas departed, Draco couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. The war against the Dark Scales was just the beginning, and he knew that there were many more challenges ahead. But with Astra and Lyra by his side, and the support of his faction members, he felt a sense of hope and determination.
