Time passed by swiftly for Vithrax following his appointment as a royal guard. His time would be split between growing his strength with the aid of teachings from the dragon king, something that was honestly terrifying for the red dragon as the king did not believe in the slow and steady approach to growing strong.
Instead the king would throw one or multiple of the royal guards into deadly situations that they would have to resolve by themselves, oftentimes with severe limitations on their abilities. One such being the disablement of any key draconic abilities such as flight, aura or their breath.
When not fighting for their lives in one of the kings 'tests' Vithrax would be overseeing the princesses growth. Be this through teaching her about the world or helping her to develop her own speciality.
Years soon passed like this, with the princess growing in both power and mischief as she grew older.
