Ossynia's eyes could barely open up under the cover of the bright sunlight, she raised her head and stretched it for a moment, leaving out a small growl. She looked around for a moment, then having her attention was the kobold village, everything was very quiet, weird but comforting in her opinion.

'Ugh, what a night... This little nap has done very little to my...' She thought...

"By Tsshar's holiest fire, the storytelling with the kids!!!" She bursted out her wings and immediately got up and walked into the village. She soon realized the kobolds were hiding from her since last night, a mix of guilt and rightfulness had her for a moment, but she decided to be diplomatic.

"Kobolds, I am... I... Apologies for last night roar, I hadn't sleep for several days, so I was wishing for a nice night, didn't count with you little ones working day AND night. I... I will not hurt anyone for this!"

Her words convinced few, but from a corner, speaker Torn had appeared to talk with her.

"Ah, speaker Torn, I was searching for you, specifically."

"And here I am, Ossynia. I was wondering what was going on right now."

"Yeah... About that. I scared everyone last night, I was angry but, I mean, you do know that, I am now afraid the younglings will be terrified of me, should I just forget the storytelling idea?"

"No, no! Ossynia! They are fine, I do know what you mean. They are at the school right now."

"School now? Wait, what time is it??"

"Right now, our sun clock shows 9:17 a.m."

"9 a.m.!!! Oh my god, I am late already!"

"Ossynia, wait! Calm down!"

Torn tried to stop her, but he could do little against a massive dragon now on rush. She was tired, sleepy and volatile, now going on the fly to the school, where Elya and Ebu were in with the other younglings of the village.

Suddenly they felt a considerable quake on the ground as Ossynia landed nearby the school, scaring many kobolds within.

"Oh no... Ossynia has arrived and I doubt she slept well in 2 hours..." Elya whispered to Ebu

"No sleep" he whispered back

The ceiling started to crack up as massive talons appeared in the opening, lifting the entire roof with easy, Ossynia put her head within the roof-free school.

"Hello kids! Sorry I am late..."

She smiled for a bit when she realized the little ones were terrified of her, some hiding behind Elya and their desks, while small rocks of the roof were falling on them.

"Oh Tiamat... I am so, so sorry little ones, I... I..." Ossynia, after so long without dealing with kids, was running out of words to say. Despite their size difference, the mighty drakkar was too embarrassed by her actions.

Suddenly, Elya stepped up to Ossynia.

"Ossynia, the story telling will be outside..."

Ossynia's eyes grew wider as she realized

"Oh... Sow-... Sorry..." She said, quite sleepy and accidentally let the roof fall to the outside, causing a huge crash sound, luckily nobody was hurt but she wasn't making her presence safe or comforting for the younglings.

"Eh... For the third time, sorry..."

"Its fine, Ossynia" Rirta said.

"Oh, mother Rirta, I am glad you are here... I am in... Need of some help, as you can see hehe..."

"Kids! Organize outside! Elya, please help them!" She pointed to Elya then returning her attention to Ossynia, "I will meet with you outside."

The kids slowly organized outside, while Rirta went outside to inspect the entire ceiling on the ground.

"Well, that will take a while to fix... And we are short in workers after yesterday's attack"

"I will offer any help I can, Rirta..."

"Thank you Ossynia..." Rirta then inspected Ossynia.

"Apologies for talking to you like this, Ossynia, but, I am good at uncovering fear and stress on my students, can you tell what is wrong?"

Ossynia let out a soft smile, she was a broodmother too, Rirta was better in this kobold affair than she could ever be.

"Oh, Rirta... I am afraid THEY are scared of me, I am large and scary and I just keep unintentionally scaring them, I have fallen out of being used with kids, and the little ones are so fragile, I could have severely hurt them back there... Or worse..."

Rirta smiled back, she understood it all

"I see Ossynia, far from me to tell you how to run the show, you are here longer than my and Torn's ages combined, but worry not." She said as she put her hands on Ossynia's large talon, "Yes, they are scared of you, we all are a bit, especially after yesterday, but don't you remember they also were so curious and glued to watching you? They like you, they love the idea of a drakkar that are our friend and protector, they will warm up with you again, trust me, kids change their mood quite easily!"

"Thank you, Rirta" Ossynia nodded, "My age matters not now, we all still learn new things every moment, always."

"I wish more drakkars like you existed, Ossynia, willing to admit your flaws and that you have things to learn..."

"Rirta! Ossynia! Why the ceiling is... Out of the school?!" Torn arrived in the scene.

Both of them looked at each other for a moment, "Oh hehehe... Sorry Torn, I... I did a little mess..."

"I knew you would, somehow I did" Torn smiled.

"My love, its 9:30 a.m. right now? Huh?"

"Yes, Rirta"

"Alright, Ossynia, you may rest and organize your thoughts now, I am going to take the kids to their break, they might be hungry already."

"Please, Rirta, go for them. I will do my own here, thank you." Ossynia walked into the clearing and went on flying.

"May you explain to me what happened, Rirta?" Torn walked on her side to the kids.

"I will. But in this long-short story, Ossynia may be old, but she isn't flawless, no one is."

"No one is hurt, right?"

"No one. Why?"

"Zurku... He is angry we are letting those drakkars within the village, if they hurt someone, he would spill out to the others. I am afraid not many kobolds are fine with it... Or fine with my pacifist stance..."
