Chapter 0348 Almost as if he and I had known each other in a past life.
cleared his throat. "Are you okay?" Clearing my throat, I turned my gaze away from him and down at the grapes in front of me, quickly picking one off the vine and popping it into my mouth. The sweet flavor of the red seedless grape causedto moan, and as I did, Silas quickly adjusted where he sat and "Yeah, I'm fine," he replied, catching my gaze again, "so, is there anything you want to ask me?" "You mean besides how old you are?" I grinned, watching him chuckle at my comment. There was a lot I wanted to know, but I just wasn't sure how to ask.

You must have gone through them all a hundred times by now." The idea of someone wanting to take classes that much shocked me. There was no way I would do something like that.
Silas chuckled, though, shaking his head, and I quickly realized I was wrong.
"I'm no longer a student, Cassie." "Well, then what are you then? Because I mean, you use the training field and hang out there all the time." My question was valid and watching Silas open and close his mouth, he hesitated in his next words.
"I'm a guardian, Cassie. It's what dragons are known to do. My ancestors helped to defend the realms and, in return, were granted immortality."
