Chapter 118 - Veterinarian
Olaf bent his head down and looked at Ivy asking for her pat. Ivy smiled and caressed his mane lovingly before speaking "Olaf. See you got visitors to meet. Do you want to meet them?"
Olaf who is basking in her warmth nodded his head. Ivy smiled and looked at Master Shah "Master, Please come here. You can see him from near."
Master Shah came out of his trance and looked at Ivy with admiration in his eyes, he never thought that Dragon Keepers would have the power to control these almighty Dragons which are mentioned as the most powerful dragons in history.
He went near them and his body shivered with anxiety and excitement. Ivy understood his reaction, she also felt the same when she met Rocky at Magna.
"Olaf, Say hello to Master Shah," Ivy said, to make Master Shah feel at ease. Olaf listened to her words and lifted its right wing to greet him.
Master Shah was dumbfounded by the scene in front of him, he couldn't believe his eyes. He knows that Dragon Keepers and Controllers are powerful people but he never knows that Ivy can even control the most powerful dragons.
"Master Shah. Meet Olaf," Ivy introduced him to Olaf.
Master Shah came out of his trance and gave a bow to the Ice Dragon, Adam also followed his suit. Olaf stood proudly and looked at him with a boring gaze.
Ivy and others are stunned by the sudden change of events, she knows that they are considering him as God but to her, he is just like her child. Ivy doesn't want to disturb their trust and belief in the Ice Dragon.
Master Shah raised its head and looked at Ivy before saying "Lady Aivyn, thanks for letting me meet the Ice Dragon. I never forgot this moment."
Ivy saw the gratefulness in their eyes and got shocked, she felt embarrassed seeing their admiration. She didn't do anything great "Master, It's Okay. It is our honour to help you."
"It's your goodwill. Lord Gavon and Lady Aivyn I am not able to attend your marriage due to some emergency. So I hereby want to congratulate you on your wedding."
"Congratulations" Master Shah congratulates them sincerely.
"Thank you, Master." Ivy and Gavon thanked him for his kindness.
"Master, Lady Aivyn is well versed in medicine. I informed you some time back that right. Lady Aivyn saved a soldier and detected that Dragon got poisoned." Adam's eyes shone when he listed Ivy good deeds.
"Yes, Yes' ' Master Shah also wanted to meet Ivy once after knowing these, when he treated the Dragon back then Ronald also informed him that his sister detected the poison. Due to her foresight, he is able to save the dragon.
"Lady Aivyn, if you want and are interested in medicine you can come to my place to learn medicine." Master Shah offered.
The soldiers nearby gasped when they heard the offer, it is very rare to get this offer directly from Master Shah. Everyone looked at Ivy with admiration.
Ivy was also surprised by his words, "Master, Thank you for the kind offer." Ivy gave a bow to show her sincerity, she heard how reputed Master Shah is and it is not a small thing to get into that position.
"Master, I don't want to learn about the way to treat humans but I want to treat the animals. If you don't mind, should I learn how to treat Dragons under your care?" Ivy asked. After coming here also she doesn't have the heart to treat humans, her affection towards the animals is deeper than she imagined. She wants to know more about dragons because she knows how to treat other animals but not dragons.
If she gets guidance from Master Shah then she will learn it more quickly and it will save her time as well.
Master Shah was taken back by her request, almost all of his students want to learn how to treat humans because when you treat humans then only you will get recognition. Because humans have a mouth to spread your greatness but when you treat animals no one considers you as a great person.
Even Master Shah became famous for his treatment of Humans after that only he started treating animals that to dragons because those are the pride of their kingdom.
"Lady Aivyn, that… are you sure?" Master Shah wants to confirm.
"Yes," Ivy said with determination. Wherever she is, she is a veteran and she is not going to change her occupation.
Master Shah was moved by her determination and agreed to her request "Sure, you can come to my place tomorrow."
"Thank you, Master" Ivy gave a deep bow and said "Please call me Aivyn from now on Master. I will be in your good hands."
Master Shah and Adam spent some time with the Ice Dragon before leaving, Gavon and Aivyn sat in the room along with the remaining to discuss something.
"Dad, Uncle. Can I get a dragon for myself?" Ivy inquired. She has wanted to get one for herself for a long time.
Simon and Bratton looked at each other and informed "Yes, dear."
"Really? Are there any procedures?" Ivy was excited.
"Generally, we need to submit forms to the palace to get them approved but our both families can get one without any restrictions," Bratton explained.
"It's great then," Ivy clapped.
"Which one are you going to take?" Ronald inquired, he wanted to give her some instructions to select.
'I guess my wife will aim for one thing.' Gavon smirked.
Ivy glanced at the people in the room and said "Olaf."
"What??" They were all stunned by her choice except gavon.
Ivy looked at them nervously and asked "Is there any problem?"
Simon came out of his trance and said "Umm... No Ivy, even though Ice Dragons are holding high status, those powers are not proven till now. So they can be considered as the dragon of these mountains only."
If it is someone else they might think about it, but they saw ivy controlling the dragon single-handedly without any help. This gave Simon confidence that she will take care of the dragon better than others.
"Ivy, but the only problem is we don't know how much time the Ice Dragon will withstand the hot temperature. It is said that they should have cool environments around them or else they will become weak." Bratton expressed his concern.
Ivy fell into deep thoughts, she was excited about the dragon but failed to consider this point. There are plenty of situations she saw where people used to bring animals from overseas and tried to grow them in an unfamiliar environment which made them sick.
"Lord Bratton, we should have some records about these dragons somewhere, right? Shall we get it?" Gavon inquired, he saw the dejected face of Ivy and he wanted to fulfil each and every request of her.
Ivy also looked at Gavon and the thought came into her mind, from books we can learn about the dragon nature. And the dragon understood her words so there won't be any problem if it feels any discomfort.
"Yes, uncle. We can go through the records once and it is not like I am going very far away from this land. So I can also observe the changes in Olaf and we can include those in the book so that it will be helpful in future as well." Ivy exclaimed, she wants to experiment with the changes in Olaf, she will just observe the changes that happen to Olaf and take notes of it.
It will be helpful for her and Olaf, she can take care of it and spend time with it. It also helps her in treating it when something happens. She has to learn how to treat them immediately.
"That's a great idea." Bratton also agreed with her. It will be helpful for future generations as well.
"Then it's decided. Olaf will be my dragon from now on.. YAY" Ivy exclaimed happily, making everyone smile seeing her excited face.
