28 – The Academy of the Winds

 

Feilong began a conversation.
«Papa,» he started.

Father nodded to show he was listening.

«How do you actually know which direction we have to go?»

«That’s a bit more complicated,» Father replied.
«Has your mother already talked to you about school? Do you know what a school is?»

«No... well, a little. My cousin told me about it earlier.»

«Good nephew Shui,» Father said approvingly.
«Once you’ve moved in with me, you’ll be going to school as well. You’ll go to the same school I went to. You’ll like it. There you’ll gradually learn how to find your way in the winds.»

«Hang on, Papa! I’m going to school? What exactly happens there?» Feilong wanted to know.

«At school, you’ll meet other dragons your age whose first category is air or wind. You will make friends, and you will learn and try out the most important things that Air and Wind Dragons need. I liked school. I enjoyed going there.»

«And where will this school be?» Feilong asked.

«The Academy of the Winds is the centre of the region of the Academy of the Winds,» Father answered with a mischievous smile.

«Very funny, Papa! But where is that?»

«We live in the region of the Academy of the Winds. So the school is quite nearby.»

Feilong couldn’t really picture what that meant, but he also realised he wasn’t going to get any more precise information from his father. So he simply nodded.
