Borate of Dunmore-Fears
Alomar continued to worry over Borate and question Shana whenever they were alone. She tried to convince him it was safe, Borate would never hurt them, but Alomar wasn’t sure. All the accounts told of beasts such as him terrorizing villages, not helping them.
Shana brought Alomar with her to visit Borate again on her next trip, hoping to ease any fears Alomar still harbored.
Alomar watched Shana walk up to Borate and hug him. He was astounded when the mighty beast nuzzled his beak in the crook of Shana’s neck and let go a contented sigh.
Shana talked with Borate, and the beast replied. Alomar could not understand what Borate was saying and wondered how Shana could. For all her magic, he had never seen her talking with animals before.
Maybe there is some magical connection between the two, he mused, sitting down to listen when Shana started explaining what Borate was saying.
